Ginger Root's SHINBANGUMI comes to VHS

Ginger Root announces the limited edition VHS tape release for SHINBANGUMI, his 2024 visual album, which follows his recent performances at Coachella and the airing of SHINBANGUMI on [adult swim]. The film combines all the music videos from the album into one cohesive story that builds upon the world Cameron Lew has been creating across his various releases.
 
With SHINBANGUMI, the third Ginger Root LP, Lew perfected his handmade yet immaculately polished synth-pop, alt-disco, boogie, and soul — taking shape through his lens 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 McCartney.
 
Ginger Root is currently on tour with Japanese Breakfast and joined her on stage at Coachella to cover Gorillaz’s "On Melancholy Hill."
