The year is 1983, and Ginger Root is brought in to write songs for an up and coming Japanese Idol, Kimiko Takeguchi. Due to the pressures of the spotlight, Kimiko quits and Ginger Root is thrown in as her last minute replacement. "Nisemono" roughly translates to "Fake" or "Fraud". This EP touches on themes of impostor syndrome, and the journey to overcome it. At the time of writing this description, there are still music video/chapters to tell about this EP, but I'll have to save them till after our fall tour. Thanks for listening

もしジンジャー•ルートが1983の昭和時代の新アイドル(竹口希美子)の曲を作ったら、どんな曲になるかなってことです。
希美子ちゃんはアメリカンテレビのデビューする前に突然辞めてしまいました。
その災厄の状況でマネージャーさんの決まりでジンジャー•ルートがアイドルの代わりになりました。
偶然に新しいスターを誕生しました!

It’s weird writing this knowing that the room I based the album name and title track on, is now officially gone. My great grandmother passed away from Covid and we had to sell her house. The album has taken on a whole new sentential meaning as I celebrate its 3rd birthday.
Thanks to everyone who listened to it, thanks to everyone who watched the videos. Listening back to those songs feel like snapshot. A snapshot of where I was at the time. I hate listening back to old songs but it’s really cool to see how far GR has come. And the journey ain’t over anytime soon. Acrophase Records found the last few copies on vinyl, so if you wanna grab one, now’s the time! We wanna do a re-press but vinyl production everywhere is basically impossible with the current state of the world. So hopefully one day! Happy birthday Mahjong Room. Thanks again everyone!
