Tokyo-based and wildly special four-girl progressive pop-group ATARASHII GAKKO! have returned with their new single “Tokyo Calling,” out today 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.
