Ginger Root | My Favorite ALFA: Chat

Cameron from Ginger Root sat down with Leon and Tadashi to recreate the “kotatsu-kaigi” 44 years on, speak about how he discovered Yellow Magic Orchestra and what he would like to say to them (in Japanese) if they were watching.
Watch Ginger Root’s performance of YMO’s “Kimi Ni Mune Kyun” here: • Ginger Root - Kimi Ni ...
MY FAVORITE ALFA is a series where we invite current artists influenced by music from Alfa Music to cover their favorite song, and then speak with us about what the song/artist means to them, the influence it’s had on their own style, and the general history behind the song, artist, and label.

gingerrootとYMOのメンバーが本当に繋がったら嬉しいな！そしてキャメロン、「君に胸キュン」を歌ってくれてありがとう！懐かしかったし、あなたの歌のおかげで曲の良さを再発見しました。日本語がとてもお上手ですね👍いつかぜひ日本にもツアーに来てください！

“I think more people should know about YMO.”
Strongly agree with this!

[@momoiunder17]

素晴らしいインタビューをありがとう！
ジンジャールートの由来も知れて有意義な、動画でした！

[@uchida10k10]

細野さんとはお会いできましたね。
私は、細野さんのラジオでGinger Rootを知りました。
まさか収録日が坂本さんの命日だったとは😢

[@YasuY1985]

対談が3人でおにぎりにみかん！wさすがアルファー。君に胸キュンよかったよ！80年代の雰囲気もあり今のサウンドでカッコよかった。初期アルファーロゴと三角ロゴのTシャツが欲しい！

👍👍👍

[@KamikazePodcast]

ginger root, mac demarco and haruomi hosono should collab

[@caio2571]

Omg ❤😂

[@fatimaestinzo6139]

Just curious, are the YMO guys still (officially) making music aside from Mr. Haruomi/Harry Hosono? (This is a fun interview to watch btw.)

[@FanofChowder]

Ryuichi is still doing stuff, he did some film scores and put out a single recently.

[@thatcookiecat]

Sakamoto and Takahashi have both been active - Sakamoto in film score and solo work, and Takahashi in the group METAFIVE

[@fatimaestinzo6139]

@@FanofChowder ooh wow. thanks! I've seen some of them on Spotify.

[@fatimaestinzo6139]

@@thatcookiecat thanks for this! It's nice to know that they keep on doing music out of love.

[@spaderttv]

@@thatcookiecat METAFIVE is like the Japanese super group you didn’t think you needed - Takahashi joined by Towa Tei, Sunahara of Denki Groove, Cornelius, etc. but don’t expect it to sound like Shibuya Kei.
