What a finale!

Thanks Cameron for letting me be a part of making all these music videos.

Your tenacity to learn animation and execute it is a reminder to me that anything is possible.

You've inspired me to be a better creative and you've pushed me to be more confident in what I create.
I'm eternally grateful for that.

I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you and us.

Thank you so much David and Cameron for letting me be a part of the orchestra (I’m the girl playing the clarinet haha)! This is an experience I’ll never forget and it came out so beautifully! Thank you for all of your hard work お疲れさまでした！

[Chai-Tea-ASMR]

The best thing to find accidently at 1:00 AM!

Here's some neat trivia:

This music video teased SHINBANGUMI.

At 4:33, Manager said that Meet you in the Galaxy's first season would start airing in the spring of next year (2024) and would run for 6 months.

No Problems released in late May, and the "End of SHINBANGUMI" film released in early December, roughly 6 months.

You could say that we witnessed a TV Show air in real time.

MY MUSIC TEACHER WAS IN THIS !!! SHE WAS ONE OF THE CLARINETSSSS

[もちのすけ-cs]

I'm Japanese and I respect you made such a very cool video. 🇯🇵🇯🇵It reminds me of 1980-90s Japanese anime. I’m very happy to see Japanese pop culture being expressed overseas. Thank you🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

I always wondered why it didn't seem like the orchestra was actually playing this song, and if they were why you basically couldn't hear them except for in a few parts. Now I'm realizing that it may be a different song that's in the movie that he's making.

Also, I didn't even realize they literally told us that this was coming this spring at the end of the video....

[acquis]

Bro, when kimiko started talking, and the voice says “the ship belongs to you” I got fucking shivers. It’s like Cameron and manager lady are reassuring her to go forth. Such a great conclusion to a EP that felt like a movie.

[kayartdotjpeg]

It's nice to see kimiko be creative without having to feel like she has to be in the limelight

[deju]

Been a quite a ride. This EP really has the most in-depth worldbuilding to which I loved. Looking forward to what you guys will do on the next album!

[zamagirls]

めっちゃ気合入ったMV！
キミコオーディションに受かってて良かった

Cameron素直に凄いなぁって思っちゃった
オーケストラも！しかもフル！

マネージャーさん相変わらずだし最高
そして結局は、全て上手くいくんだよね
TBDに期待しつつ…また
いつかオーケストラバージョンの音源も聴いてみたいなぁ

[swordapple]

もちろん時間は戻せないけど…Back to 80'sな気持ちは忘れたくないよなぁ。良作です！
ありがとう、姜根。

[porquemimi]

Ginger Root MVs never disappoint. Cam conducting skills, dylan on slide whistle, matt on drums 🙌🏼

[vipza]

Two things :
- I'm delighted by so many easter eggs hidden in the japanese names throughout the animation
- I'm hyper HYPED for a sequel to Nisemono !!

[gmmunguu]

このやりとりマジ面白かったです。

詳しくは本部で説明する！
本部どこかわからないですけど、
発進！！！

[chrisle]

Was really cool being a part of the orchestra! Can’t wait to see how it turned out

[キリンガラナ-me]

曲もPVも日本の良い時代を表現してくれている。
新しいのに懐かしいのがとても心地良いです！

[PatrickMacCready]

This is the best sequel to "Loretta" I could have ever hoped for.

[leafmensoldier]

I first found Ginger Root through Loretta's Music Video and have been a fan since. It's cool to see the journey from editing himself to play all the instrument to having a full-blown, dedicated orchestra.

Please continue doing what you enjoy and do best :)

It's clear that a lot of love and care went into these music videos and it was amazing watching all of them and being a part of the community while they released, thank you David, Dylan, Matt, Cameron, and everyone who helped make it all happen, can't wait to see more from you guys.
