"Tokyo Calling" OUT NOW - ATARASHIIGAKKO.lnk.to/TokyoCalling LYRICS (EN) Tokyo calling We're on the edge, almost falling Like a nightmare, a dystopian story is looming Tokyo calling City's pulse, almost falling Forever enthralling, beyond reach, hope's distant glory Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Dad's stuck in the grind, the job's grip is appalling Brother's chained to the screen, at his wits end at college Mom's escaping reality, addicted to idols An unexpected melody comes from afar, our destiny comes crawling Tokyo calling Today, the city's boring too We're struggling with a never ending sorry Tokyo calling People are talking, where's the future of our hope? In the woods, we're trapped, unable to escape Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Life's short, dad's starting a part-time job at a soba shop Life's short, brother's gonna work at a cat cafe Life's short, mom's gonna work at a cabaret joint Under clear blue skies, together we sing to that tune Tokyo calling Don't hesitate to move forward Hope for the future is here, carving our history Tokyo calling Don't hesitate to move forward Hope for the future is here, carving our history Tokyo calling Be proud of moving forward Hope for the future is here, carving our history Tokyo calling Be proud of moving forward Hope for the future is here, carving our history We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching Tokyo calling Be proud of moving forward Hope for the future is here, carving our history Tokyo calling Be proud of moving forward Hope for the future is here, carving our victory

Can we discuss how CLEAN their dance moves are? Their vocals, the visual... WERK

LOVE how they are paying homage to kaiju movies and how the video, like the title being "Tokyo Calling" and sounding just like "Tokyo Korin" meaning descending on Tokyo, is about these girls being the heroes of Tokyo, but also being the titanic kaiju that descend on Tokyo. They are trying to say that Japanese city life is depressing and awful, and to save its people, Tokyo would have to destroy its current way of life. It's such a cool way of putting visuals to the song.

I'll tell youngsters that this was attack on titan.

obsessed with the instrumental on this. sounds like the world is falling apart at the seams

My 3 year old had me play this song for 40 mins straight, I speak Japanese now. 🇲🇽

In a market that incentivizes rinse and repeat, I do appreciate that Atarashii Gakko are doing their own thing. It would have been easy to lean into pop with their success but they try something new and it's successful. They should be proud of every second of it.

Im so glad people are finding out about Atarashii Gakko thru Meg!! They’re so talented and the songs are catchy!! Love them both!!!🥲💖

WHO CAME FROM COACHELLA??? YOU ALL ARE AWESOME!! IM SO GLAD YOU ALL GOT TO BE INTRODUCED TO THIS WONDERFUL GROUP OF TALENTED WOMEN!

Why can't I stop listening to this, banger tune

I love how the song starts out with a sound-the-alarm vibe, and transforms into a call for unity towards the end. From something totally negative to something totally positive. Pure genius.

Megan Thee Stallion brought me to a Gem ! This song & video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

idk what their other music is like, but THIS IS REAL PUNK LETS GOOOOO the reference to The Clash’s “London Calling” and their fusion of punk’s anger at society’s flaws with uniquely Japanese cultural references to drive the point home is just immaculate

I really like how the "We are Marching" kind of sounds like "We Imagine", which might not be intentional but it adds a nice layer to it.

Coachellaかっこよすぎた

My 13 yo daughter wants me to let AG know that they are awesome, and she is such a big fan.

歌詞が辛辣でもあり皮肉でもありしかも面白くてすげー好き クセになる笑

The message of this song is not only valid for Tokyo society, but also for our current society, especially in big cities around the world.

This is the kinda song that doesn't draw you in at first but gets better with each listening

RIZIN 46から来ました！リズムも心地良かったです！かっこよかったです！

"KILLS 99% OF GERMS! 1% of Germs still standing: 1:13

ライブのトリに持ってきたのが最高だった 東京でTokyo Calling聴けたのは一生の思い出

The story of the family members and their plight, their struggle against forces that are banal, insidious, humorous, and tragic at the same time, is strangely touching. Such energy in everything.

number_iのファンです。88rising futureのCoachella ライブで新しい学校のパフォーマンスを見てとてもかっこよかったので聴きにきました！

The notion that a song could delve so deeply into the psyche of my cat, addressing his unique blend of apathy and passion, is something I struggle to comprehend, yet the evidence before my eyes-or rather, ears-is undeniable. The chorus of "Tokyo Calling" holds a peculiar significance for Mr. Fluffington III. The repetitive invocation seems not a call to the people of Tokyo, but a personal serenade for him, inspiring a series of interpretative dances and vocal performances that I've never witnessed with any other piece of music.

初めて見たのはこの間の紅白。 こんなにも惹きつけるダンスとそれぞれの個性、独特な音楽性に胸を射抜かれました。 彼女たちのエネルギーは世界中を元気にしてくれる。 これからも衝撃的でアーティスティックな音楽を楽しみにしてます。

Two years ago, it was difficult for Nai Nai Nai to reach the 1M views. Now this song was done in just five days. Amazing! This girs surpass themselves day by day!

RIZINで流れてましたよー！！！！

何もしてないのになんかやりとげた感じになる名曲

It's incredible how Atarashii Gakko always releases great songs with magnificent rhythms, choreography and music videos. It's actually really good, I'll never get tired of Atarashii Gakko.

I absolutely needed Japanese protest music to give me hope for the future.

Kanon as mama is too beautiful 😭

I feel like some of these dance moves are inspired by Indian traditional dances.. that's dope

限界がきて顔が死んでる父さん、兄さん、母さん最高の演技

後半、曲調明るくなるとこ泣きそうになるのなんで すごい曲👏

初めて聴いたときは「なんじゃこりゃ！？」でしたが、何度か聴いて歌に、「辛すぎる現在→明るい未来目指せ！」とストーリーが あるこどがわかり、大変共感できました。ダンスの方は縦一列の千手観音が❤❤❤❤❤です。しなやかで、動きと止めのメリハリがハッキリしていて、美しい

TOKYO CALLING 🗾📞🗣️🗣️🗣️

この子達の活躍を見るたびに涙がでる。今回はマジでやられた。カッコ良すぎるよ　泣きながら10連再生❤

ふざけてるようで指先まで神経が行き届いている美しいダンスなんですよね🥰🕊️

rizinの煽りv最高でした！ 現地で見てました！

武道館でこの曲が流れた時、2秒で涙流しました。これからも続いて欲しいです！ 次はドームを目指して頑張ってくれぇぇ！ ずっと応援してる🔥🔥🔥🎌

なんでこんな耳に残るリズムばかり生み出せるんだろう

AG’s exciting dance choreography, musical score, and visuals are pure genius. Playful and fun; part shtick, part nostalgia to classic Japanese Kaiju movies, nevertheless there is a powerful underlying commentary, reverberating in the lyrics and the beat. People, in Tokyo or society en masse, are being trampled by modern day problems. But the message is compelling: There is no Super Hero coming to save us; It’s a call for all of us to work together to rescue ourselves and others and secure a more hopeful future.

Lyrics everybody really wants. Somebody else's romanticized version combined with somebody else's English translation. I just put it together because I think that's what some people might want. [Chorus] Tokyo calling Machi wa almost falling (We're on the edge, almost falling) Marude akumu de mita saiaku no story (Like a nightmare, a dystopian story is looming) Tokyo calling Machi wa almost falling (City's pulse, almost falling) Kibou no mirai haruka kanata no glory (Forever enthralling, beyond reach, hope's distant glory) [Refrain] Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling [Verse 1] Kaisha genkai zettai yametai kedo yamerenai tousan (Dad's stuck in the grind, the job's grip is appalling) Daigaku genkai mainichi netto ni hikikomotteru niisan (Brother's chained to the screen, at his wits end at college) Mama tomo genkai genjitsu touhi aidoru doppuri kaasan (Mom's escaping reality, addicted to idols) Kanata tooku fui ni nagaretekita ano senritsu wa (An unexpected melody comes from afar, our destiny comes crawling) [Pre-Chorus] Ra ra ra moya Ra ra moya Ra ra moya Ra ra moya [Chorus] Tokyo calling Machi wa kyou mo boring (Today, the city's boring too) Akusen kutou itsumo togirenai sorry (We're struggling with a never ending sorry) Tokyo calling Hitobito wa talking (People are talking, where's the future of our hope?) Kibou no mirai doko e nukedasenai mori (In the woods, we're trapped, unable to escape) [Refrain] Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling Tokyo calling [Verse 2] Ichido kiri no jinsei soba uchi baito hajimeru tousan (Life's short, dad's starting a part-time job at a soba shop) Ichido kiri no jinsei neko kafe baito hajimeru niisan (Life's short, brother's gonna work at a cat cafe) Ichido kiri no jinsei kyabakura baito hajimeru kaasan (Life's short, mom's gonna work at a cabaret joint ) Harewataru aozora issho ni utau ano senritsu wa (Under clear blue skies, together we sing to that tune) [Pre-Chorus] Ra ra ra moya Ra ra moya Ra ra moya Nya Nya nya nya-nya nya nya [Chorus] Tokyo calling Tamerawazu marching (Don't hesitate to move forward) Kibou no mirai soko ni ima tsukuru history (Hope for the future is here, carving our history) Tokyo calling Tamerawazu marching (Don't hesitate to move forward) Kibou no mirai soko ni ima tsukuru history (Hope for the future is here, carving our history) Tokyo calling Hokorashiku marching (Be proud of moving forward) Kibou no mirai koko ni ima tsukuru history (Hope for the future is here, carving our history) Tokyo calling Hokorashiku marching (Be proud of moving forward) Kibou no mirai koko ni ima tsukuru history (Hope for the future is here, carving our history) [Bridge] We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We arе marching We are marching We arе marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching We are marching [Chorus] Tokyo calling Hokorashiku marching (Be proud of moving forward) Kibou no mirai koko ni ima tsukuru history (Hope for the future is here, carving our history) Tokyo calling Hokorashiku marching (Be proud of moving forward) Kibou no mirai koko ni ima tsukuru history (Hope for the future is here, carving our history)

会社限界絶対辞めたいけど辞めれない父さんの表情が秀逸

Bro, they need to start making more songs in this genre, so fucking crazy, can't stop

初めて鑑賞した彼女達の作品は大人ブルーでとても楽しみました。この作品は２つ目です。若い子達がこんな歌詞をこんな表現で発信していることにとても感動し、涙が出ました。希望も感じました。まだまだ期待してます。がんばれ新しい学校のリーダーズ！

RIZIN最高！

Man, I can’t imagine how many vitamins and vegetables the girls had to eat to get so large they stand higher than apartment buildings. The intense dieting afterwards to get down to regular size again must have been so difficult. So much dedication to their craft. It’s amazing.

特撮セットのクオリティが凄い… イントロのゴジラ感やウルトラ警備隊風の衣装にリスペクトを感じるし、今までとは違うアプローチの曲調と合わさって完成度の高いMV👀

They’re gonna be at Coachella this year, I’m so stocked!!

RIZINから来ました！

今日の東京体育館公演で、この楽曲の重みが増したと思う。圧巻だった。

だいぶ今までと違うアプローチでビックリしましたが最高なのは一緒です✨

I haven’t heard of these people before and I did not expect this to be this good and I love it 😍😍😍

You gotta appreciate the effort that went into making so many miniatures! The first time I saw this on my phone I assumed it was compositing with footage of real buildings, but you can see movement as they dance, and smudges on the windows. Such a neat idea to do things the traditional way!

なんと言うか、、すごくいい未来が待ってそうな曲でかっこいい。

Wow, what a breath of fresh air against the parade of idol singers that usually are featured.

las acabo de escuchar en el Coachella. Su concierto estuvo 100% bueno. Gran energía

Meg the stallion sent me here ❤❤ And now I can't stop listening !!!🔥

ライブでのパフォーマンス圧巻でした。。 とにかくずっと動き回っていて遠くの席でも見ていてとても楽しかったです！

LETS GOOOOO

Well i can tell that Tokyo Calling was way better in live singing on Coachella

They show something I haven't felt in a long, long time optimism for the future

ゴジラ感・モスラ歌感、庶民に寄り添った早口歌詞、マーチング取り入れたダンス、完璧過ぎるメンバーの配役、ニャーで歌うセンス、格好良くて可愛いくて、最高！

グループとしてイケイケのタイミングで、大衆に媚びないこんな曲（褒めてる）を自信満々にシングルでぶち込んでくるかっこよさよ💪 惚れ直す！

the best song of 2024

This the most punk thing I've seen since living through the punk era myself!!! BADASS!!!

"Tokyo Calling"から"東京降臨"の韻踏みは神だろ

This goes unbelievably hard. These 4 give off strong Bestie Boys vibes with their outfits and style. Oh LOOK! And just as im typing this, i see their cover of INTERGALACTIC on the side bar! These girls kick ass!

i dont know why but afther this i wanna listen interlagalactic ( beasty boys) this ladies are in another level

We are marching のところライブで毎回爆泣きしてる　これからも応援するよおおお

カラオケの歌ってない時に流れる曲紹介ビデオで流れてきて、リズムと動きオモロくてハマった

謎の中毒性があって何度も聞いてしまう

なんかWe aremarchingのところで泣けてきた すごく元気になる！

They are very entertaining and funny. And that Suzuka will be a star for life.

この曲をシングルに持って来るとは凄いなAG！

The little Tokyo set is so well done its amazing, also this feels like the perfect opening act to a concert

No puedo sacarme este estribillo de la cabeza!!!lo adoro además la energía con la que hacen su bailey la crítica profunda a la sociedad de trabajo japonesa ❤ no puedo más que bailar 😅 es muy divertido divertido!

RIZINで流れてて驚いたw

This has got to be the most Japanese music video I have ever seen. The outfits, the poses, the building, the extras, even the sailor school uniforms.

この曲中毒性やばい笑笑 似たような振り付けがないっていうのが本当に凄いと思う。

Much love from Ukraine. This track is a real banger!

Yo.....wtf did I just randomly find? This is absolute fire and goes hard.

They CANNOT make a bad song

これを作ったスタッフに脱帽　本人らもすごいけど裏方に拍手だわ

This was was my favorite part of Godzilla Minus 1

かなりハマってきてます。 みんな現実逃避→でも何か変えたくてとりあえず…→何か希望見つけた！？ みたいな流れ好き。 ダンス最高でみんなほんと楽しんでやってそうで、中毒性があって、何かメッセージ性ぶちこんできて…とにかく何か最近好きです！

また素晴らしい作品が世に放たれた、、、ありがとう、私の生きる糧です。

This could easily be about London too. I'm OBSESSED

ATARASHII GAKKO is a homage to the creative weird kids, who don't fit in societal standards, who care and think too deeply about everyone and the world's societal issues

そろそろこういった楽曲をちょうど求めてたから嬉しい

この子たちのパフォーマンスも最高。MVの演出も最高。

Every BIT of their culture is represented so good in this song including the end. Well done i say well done

一糸乱れぬダンスとそのキレ、さらにフォーメイションの素晴らしさには目を見張るものがあります。 基本力の高さがないとできないですね。足腰のバネがすばらしい。

the visuals, the thought behind the lyrics and it's a banger, awesome work!

イイ感じのふざけ具合なのに、カッコいい‼️goodです❤❤

Tokyo calling

I love the part where they start singing one after the other

MVお金かかってる💸 世界のリーダーズなんだな✨️ 海外向けと日本向けと曲調が違う感じでどちらも楽しめます🎉 個人的にrin父さんにかなりハマりました♡
