Japanese Reggae
Posted on June 19th, 2005 in Tom, Travel | 4 Comments »
So, I’m watching MTV Japan over here, and this band, Fire Ball, comes on, and I’m entranced. It’s got an urban reggae sound, but it’s all Japanese. Anyway, I bought the album when I was in Ikebukuro yesterday, and I ripped a few samples for you all to hear.

hello,
i’m trying to go to japan as well—i’m sooo jealous of you right. i have heard japanese reggae but not the dancehall style. i have a cd by this group called dry and heavy there more the roots 70′s dreadlock reggae style enjoy japan
I’ve never heard of Dry and Heavy, but I was getting addicted to many of the different styles of pop music out there. I’d seriously pop on MTV Japan, and just leave it on the background while I was working.
There’s something different about being able to listen to the music itself, distinct from the actual lyrical content, since i have no idea what they’re saying.
