Japanese Reggae


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.

Track 2 – 999rulaz (953k)
Track 7 – Walea (1.2m)

  1. 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

  2. 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.
