Atarashii Gakko! have released the official music video for "TTTTokyo," a single from their fourth studio album From Tokyo With Love, out now on 88rising. The video was directed by Mackenzie Sheppard.
The four-member Japanese dance and vocal group, made up of Mizyu, Rin, Kanon, and Suzuka, dropped the album alongside a video for the advance single "Oi AG!" The full-length follows a European run that included festival slots at Colours of Ostrava in the Czech Republic and Lollapalooza Berlin in Germany, plus a headline show at the Roundhouse in London.
What Is On the Atarashii Gakko! Album "From Tokyo With Love"
From Tokyo With Love runs ten tracks and moves across funk, synth-pop, and rock ballads. According to the release, the album carries the meaning of magokoro, a Japanese concept of heartfelt sincerity. Several of the tracks are built around the individual personalities of the four members, with solo-featured songs sitting alongside group cuts. The full tracklist is:
1. Oi AG! (advance single) 2. TTTTOKYO 3. Take Me With You 4. Catch That Train 5. Kore de E 6. Waiting for Good Time 7. Dance Dance 8. Chanka Chanka 9. Leave It All Behind 10. UTAGE HIKARU
The album is streaming everywhere now. No producer credits were included in the press materials.
"TTTTOKYO" connects to the group's earlier track "Tokyo Calling," which has been a consistent live staple and helped build their international audience. Atarashii Gakko! signed to 88rising in 2021. According to the release, their breakout track "Otonablue" surpassed 3.3 billion plays on TikTok, including a viral collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion. They have appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and performed at Coachella.
The group completed a 33-city world tour with a total audience of 110,000 fans, according to the release. In 2025, they marked their 10th anniversary with an 18-city headline tour across Japan, Asia, and Australia. The Roundhouse show in London served as their 11th anniversary headline event.

What Independent Artists Can Learn From This Campaign
Atarashii Gakko!'s rollout is a clean example of how to sequence a release campaign across multiple months without losing momentum. The group dropped an advance single with a video, let the European tour generate coverage and footage, then released the full album paired with a second video on the same day. Each piece of content gave media a new reason to write. The festival dates in December extend the campaign's life well past the album drop date, keeping the project in circulation for at least four more months.
The other thing worth noting: the album's concept, magokoro, is specific and translatable. It gives press something concrete to write about beyond the music itself. If you are building a project, giving it a defined idea or framework makes it easier for blogs, curators, and fans to talk about it for you.
