Ginger Root announces that the accompanying film for his acclaimed 2024 album, SHINBANGUMI, which aired on Adult Swim’s Toonami over the weekend, will be available via a limited edition VHS. The film combines all of the music videos for the album into one cohesive story that builds upon the world that Cameron Lew has been creating over his various releases. SHINBANGUMI was released last year via Ghostly International.

Ginger Root, who is currently on tour with Japanese Breakfast and joined her on stage for a rousing cover of Gorillaz’s “On Melancholy Hill” at Coachella, is nominated for two Music Awards Japan in the Best International Alternative Song and Listener’s Choice categories. Lew is also the only non-Japanese artist who will be performing at the ceremony. The awards take place on May 21st and 22nd.

SHINBANGUMI, Lew creates synth-pop, alt-disco, boogie, and soul, inspired by growing up as an Asian-American growing up enamored by 1970s and ’80s music, specifically the creative and cultural dialogue between Japanese City Pop and its Western counterparts from French Pop to Philly Soul to Ram-era Paul McCartney.
