Ah... brings back so many memories! 1983 was such a good year for music, and I remember Ginger Root's rise like it was yesterday! Wonder what ever happened to him, though... Anyway, I've been looking for the full EP of this particular album for YEARS, thank you so much for uploading it! ❤️
The way he recreates the era is genuinely mind-blowing. It really warms my heart. In my country during the 80s and 90s we would get a lot of broadcast channels from all around the Asia Pacific region in the early hours of the morning.
The hard choice of either listening to the already out audio clip or waiting for the video. Love your music btw the videos are a great part of it (especially loved the part at the end of holy hell that teased over the hill)
I hope ginger root isn't pressured to make better and better songs just so everyone that listens him wouldn't be disappointed because of the praise that he receives on literally every song.
Ginger Root is a musicians musician. Everything about the writing, the orchestration, the performance... Is so thoughtful, thorough, and and natural feeling it's easy to take for granted that this wasn't produced by a team of song writers, an editor, and studio of top musicians playing together... Rather by the brilliant and goofy Ginger Root. Love it.
The fact that the theme of this EP deals with imposter syndrome and the music has a bubbly/funky vibe to it perfectly describes my 4 years as a music undergrad student. I was finally pursuing something I liked but I was constantly feeling like I didnt belong there due to high competition. Tons of anxiety, all nighters, and negative self talk throughout those years. Im graduating in November so looking back at those terrible experiences, it really made me a stronger person and a better musician overall. The last song resonates with what I feel now which is "yeah, it sucked but things will be alright" So glad I discovered your music, Cam! Will be listening to this on repeat
I love all the songs so far! I wish Kimiko! was longer, it was also hella cool to try to understand as much of what she says from my basic understanding of Japanese! I’m also a huge fan of the reference to Loneliness at 2:26 in Nisemono, that was pretty sick!
The tight snare drum fill at 0:28 is so damn pleasant. The right amount of softness, overall almost muted/muffled sound, the drums are excellent. Excited to hear this all in a moment of quiet, I just want to take it all in sonically. Well done as always Cameron, you really are here in this world for a wonderful reason, and I'm glad you do the creative things that you do, there's nothing else like it. Keep the momentum, I'm keen for what's next!
This EP release could not have come at a better time in my life! This is so special 🥺My comfort tracklist for sure Can't wait to see you in LA! Thanks for making life more fun ❤
I'm glad that I've discovered your music. I can't describe with my own words how much nostalgia you gave me just listening to your music. It transfers me to a time and place that shouldn't even exist in the first place for me. A lot of love from Germany! Keep going mate.
This EP is a triumph! Perfect flow from top to bottom. I love the concept from the singles released so far. Now I'm digging into the 3 new tracks and trying to figure out the rest of the story. Looking forward to catching the group in Philadelphia at the end of the month.
I was a junior high kid in the early 80’s in Japan. So I can understand what you are doing right here well. You are insane. I love everything you are doing! Thank you from Tokyo! 僕は80年代初期に日本で中学生でした。なので貴方がここで何をやっているか良く分かります。狂ってますよ! やっていること全て大好きです! 東京から、ありがとう!
@@kevinklingerpichardo8540 Thank you for asking. This is exactly the pop music we used to listen to in the 80’s in Japan. the analog film, analog (cassette-like) sound, complex city pop chords and the background funny story that a girl idol escaped from her hard work (many girl idols in the 80’s were allowed slept for 3 hours only a day) and the songwriter for her is accidentally replaced to the front stage. But not only imitation but also there are lots of his originality. I really don’t understand why the young musician who didn’t experienced the 80’s in Japan can create this kind of music. What a talent.

Loving Over the Hill as my old ass is about to approach that stage in my life. Also just noticed the TV is playing the music videos for each song, which BTW each one is a masterpiece. Someone on here said it well. You do a great job at creating a world and filling it with great music.
13:57 Idk, but this song feels like when you're in the rainbow road on any mario kart game. this theme, Kimiko, loneliness and holy hell have that strong vibe. And i love it.
Ginger Root has been one of the best parts of the past year or so. Ive been very busy building my company, working a day job at the same time - not leaving my house for weeks and months. I listen to GR alot - and i think this EP and this vibe youve brought back - it will be forever the soundtrack to a very memorable part of my life. Love you guys.
Loved this album so far, I got inmersed in its story and what it means, the music slaps and sticked. Also helped me go through some work related situations. Thank you So Much Cameron!
Ginger Root is my discovery of this year 2022.🤩 I started listening to him since the beginning of this year, getting to know him through the musical track "Loretta", and from then on I started listening to his entire musical collection on RUclips and Spotify, captivating me more and more by his songs.😀 I am very happy to have discovered this wonderful artist with an incredible musical sound.😃 This EP Nisemono is fantastic so good to listen to several times leaving it on loop.😁 I'm very happy for your new work...thanks a lot for these great quality songs.😌
This is just wonderful. I have a feeling there was a LOT going on behind the scenes while this was all coming together. You did it. Just... congratulations!
All of the songs are so amazing and I am so jealous of the room in the visualiser!!!! And the one time he uploads at a reasonable time in Australia, I’m working 😭😭😭
I loved the City Slicker EP when I discovered it last November, so having this new EP arriving right now is perfect. Every song is fantastic, and you can tell a lot of passion went into the making of not only the EP but the music videos as well. Thanks to the whole team for such an amazing experience! Gonna have Nisemono on repeat for the next little while :)
What really sets you apart Gingerroot, is your ability to construct a story and a world, then populate that world with funky tunes. It is really remarkable, so much so, I have remarked on it.
Had a great time at the Atlanta concert. Y’all were great. It was fun talking to camera man David too :) I hope y’all had lots of fun and enjoy your break. Thanks for bringing such a fun live performance. God bless

Heard he passed away from a Bubble Tea overdose a couple years later. He was living in a karaoke at the time...
He put out a video of a stop motion paper computer a few years back that really doesn't hold up with the stuff he did in the 80s.
Next time i spot him at the local Sendo Supa, I'll try and get pic 🫡
The way he recreates the era is genuinely mind-blowing. It really warms my heart.
In my country during the 80s and 90s we would get a lot of broadcast channels from all around the Asia Pacific region in the early hours of the morning.
LOL! Nice one there!
「必ず大丈夫になります」いい言葉だなぁ。最近、日本のラジオから、ロレッタがしょっちゅう流れます。いつも励まされています!新EP楽しみ!

best ep of 2022
Hands down
Yer off by a couple decades bud
I agree that 100%
Best ep of 1983
Fantano confirmed
太田裕美の「木綿のハンカチーフ」のオマージュっぽいのから始まるのオシャレやなー
ベースの音作りめっちゃ好き
ボギボギ鳴っててかっこいい
80年代テイストを踏襲しつつも、2022でも心地よく聞くことのできる音楽を作る才能が凄い。
心の底から天才だと思ってます。全曲洒落ていつつもどこか抜けているこの感じ、ノスタルジックな気持ちになれて非常に心地良いです。もっと伸びてほしい…。
?
Congrats on topping the Fantano EP list of 2022
懐かしくも新しくもある。不思議な気分にさせてくれます。ざわざわしてくるこの感覚。たまらん。
The hard choice of either listening to the already out audio clip or waiting for the video. Love your music btw the videos are a great part of it (especially loved the part at the end of holy hell that teased over the hill)
There was a part in over the hill that teased meet you in the galaxy, the manga he was holding in the library scene was titled meet you in the galaxy.
how much time we have to wait till the MV is released?
What was the teaser at the end of Holy Hell?
@@DanXZM after fall tour finishes
@@DanXZM I think Cam said somewhere that 2 more MVs would be released after the tour is over!
To everyone watching after the premiere: pLEASEEEEeee replay the live chat! It's insane to see so many people hyped at the same time!
Main theme from track Kimiko! is tribute to Gustav Holst The Planets Jupiter

In some circles he is also considered a magician’s musician
What a solid observation, couldn't put it better myself, cam is a modern day genius

actually insane how good this mans music is. impeccable taste if you listen to this music ladies and gents
Just heard loneliness in H&M AND GEEKED OUT. Ginger root deserves everything❤
I am so happy to be alive for this.
Nisemono 気持ち良すぎて1日に100回聴いてます 本当にありがとう
The music! The lore! The merch! The videos! Is there nothing this man can’t do?! I’m in love.
"Everything's Alright" is such a fitting conclusion to this ep
いい!とてもいい!ツボおさえてる!
I love how each time that Ginger Root pulls out a new song it's something new and fresh, preserving his style.
Ginger Root definitely is the GOAT ❤
I love all the songs so far! I wish Kimiko! was longer, it was also hella cool to try to understand as much of what she says from my basic understanding of Japanese!
I’m also a huge fan of the reference to Loneliness at 2:26 in Nisemono, that was pretty sick!
Arguably a callback to Loretta too with those strings.
13:22
私リアルタイムで、80年代のアイドル全盛期知ってるんで🥳👍
当時は、きみこちゃんみたいなアイドルいっぱいいましたよ🤭
ジンジャーさん、天才😆
Love every second of this and absolutely love the description about the exploration of feelings of imposter syndrome
The tight snare drum fill at 0:28 is so damn pleasant. The right amount of softness, overall almost muted/muffled sound, the drums are excellent. Excited to hear this all in a moment of quiet, I just want to take it all in sonically.
Well done as always Cameron, you really are here in this world for a wonderful reason, and I'm glad you do the creative things that you do, there's nothing else like it. Keep the momentum, I'm keen for what's next!
great band, specially when there's absolutely zero bad songs!
City Slicker made me happy for so long and now Nisemono is making me happy, thanks man, big appreciation
This EP release could not have come at a better time in my life! This is so special 🥺My comfort tracklist for sure
Can't wait to see you in LA! Thanks for making life more fun ❤
I'm glad that I've discovered your music. I can't describe with my own words how much nostalgia you gave me just listening to your music. It transfers me to a time and place that shouldn't even exist in the first place for me. A lot of love from Germany! Keep going mate.
What a gift for the weekend! Can't wait to see live in ATL
I might go to that show too if I have a good enough time in Nashville

I haven't enjoyed every track from an EP in an absolute AGE!
Those asides by the singer in "Kimiko" remind me so much of the song "Little Date" from Ranma 1/2, such a nostalgic throwback to a bygone era.
Ginger Root has been one of the best parts of the past year or so.

MEXICO YA ESPERA POR TI GINGER !!!!

I am very happy to have discovered this wonderful artist with an incredible musical sound.😃
This EP Nisemono is fantastic so good to listen to several times leaving it on loop.😁
I'm very happy for your new work...thanks a lot for these great quality songs.😌
That particular sound on "Kimiko" near the chorus/hook sounds a lot like Matsuda Seiko's "Aoi Sangoshou" opening bit. Ohhhhh
That last song is easily one of the best songs
Second play through. This is a masterpiece. Start to finish no skips. A solid vibe full of audio sensory trinkets. Well done Cam. 🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆
I'm falling in love with the track Nisemono.
And Everything's Alright.
Loneliness is God song!!!!
This is just wonderful. I have a feeling there was a LOT going on behind the scenes while this was all coming together. You did it. Just... congratulations!
With Ginger flavors just in time for summer.... Nothing beats.... Ginger fresh!
