It has a natural, pleasant vibe.

Jamiroquai, a quintessential act of danceable jazz and acid jazz born from the club generation, achieved worldwide success with their cutting-edge sound and hails from the UK.

It’s still commonly misunderstood, but Jamiroquai is not an artist’s name per se; it’s the name of frontman Jay Kay’s solo project.

Including the striking “Buffalo Man” logo and Jay Kay’s signature array of hats, his persona captivated not only Europe but also Japan, where from their debut they enjoyed immense popularity among those attuned to stylish sounds.

The track that undoubtedly paved the way for Jamiroquai’s success in the United States was one of their signature songs released in 1996, “Virtual Insanity.” It’s an undeniably killer tune of sophisticated jazz-funk, and together with the innovative music video directed by Jonathan Glazer, it’s no exaggeration to call it a legendary masterpiece.

Incidentally, there’s an interesting story about this song: according to Jay Kay, “Virtual Insanity” was inspired by the “underground shopping arcades of Sapporo” that he personally observed.
