Atarashii Gakko! Release New Song "Tokyo Calling" Via 88rising

“Please inject this chaotic Japanese idol group straight into my veins.” - i-D

“Whatever ATARASHII GAKKO! are doing next, we’re listening.” - The Fader  

“If you have yet to come across the J-pop group Atarashii Gakko!, you’re missing out.” - Hypebae

Tokyo-based and wildly special four-girl progressive pop-group ATARASHII GAKKO! have returned with their new single “Tokyo Calling,” out now via 88rising. Opening with a doomsday-like alarm that continues as the central beat to the track, the song recognizes the harsh realities of daily life, even in their beloved home city. Although these mundane realities, the group works its way to a triumphant and euphoric chant of “we are marching!” In classic ATARASHII GAKKO! fashion, the track’s chorus is a catchy mantra meant for live audiences to scream back at them.

SHANNi marks her official debut as recording artist under Sony Music Entertainment

Coming from a lineage of musicians with a known history of creative integrity and a strong sense of DIY spirit, SHANNi proves that there’s more to her surname than meets the eye. 

The young singer-songwriter officially makes her entrance as a recording artist with a refreshing new single that showcases vulnerability beyond her years. Aptly titled “sa panaginip,” the song stands out with its lilting, throwback sound and jazz-pop edge. 

SHANNi reveals that the storytelling behind “sa panaginip” was inspired by The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a movie about love’s inevitable imperfections and the difficulty of purging the memories that once defined it. SHANNi wrote the track when she was in grade 10 after watching the film for the very first time.
