Zutto (feat. HAN-KUN & TEE)SPICY CHOCOLATE
A gem of a love song produced by SPICY CHOCOLATE, bringing to life a luxurious collaboration with HAN-KUN from Shonan no Kaze and singer TEE.
The frustration of time spent apart and the pure affection for a lover that grows precisely because of the distance are portrayed straightforwardly over a warm reggae sound.
After being included on the 2012 album “Shibuya RAGGA SWEET COLLECTION 2,” the track was featured in an NTT Docomo commercial and became a major talking point.
Anyone who has experienced a long-distance relationship will instantly recognize the bittersweet feelings of longing for the other person.
It might even make you want to reaffirm your unchanging feelings to someone special.
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze
Beloved as a classic summer anthem and a go-to karaoke crowd-pleaser with friends, this song was released in June 2007 as their sixth single and went on to win Best Reggae Music Video at the MTV Japan Music Video Awards the following year.
More than just a cheerful summer tune, it carries a deeper message: like a water lily blooming into a grand flower from the mud, it mirrors the strength to live on by overcoming pain and tears.
Let its passionate sound and ode to life fill you with the courage to face any adversity.
It’s the perfect track to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down or to fuel you for tomorrow.
Golden SoulShonan no Kaze
When it comes to Shonan no Kaze, they’re probably one of the most recognized groups in Japan’s reggae scene.
While their ballad-style songs tend to be popular, Golden Soul is a somewhat harder reggae track overflowing with masculine energy.

Released in 2013 and proudly reaching No.

Lean On (feat. MØ)Major Lazer & DJ Snake
This is a work by Major Lazer and DJ Snake packed with a warm message about the bonds between friends and the idea that it’s okay to lean on someone even in difficult times.
Listening to this track will surely remind you of the importance of supporting one another.
Featuring Danish singer MØ, it was released in June 2015 as the lead single from the album Peace Is the Mission.
In addition to being used in a Dodge commercial, it dominated charts worldwide and reached No.

Life is wonderfulRickie-G
Set to a soothing reggae rhythm, this song celebrates the joys of everyday life and the wonder of living.
Rickie-G’s warm vocals gently embrace meetings and farewells along the journey, as well as the preciousness of days spent with a loved one.
Featured on the November 2006 album “Life is wonderful,” the track is also known for its tie-in with Fuji TV’s “Terrace House.” Its unique sound, blending acoustic elements with a soulful melody, is perfect for long trips or when you’re on your way to a new place.
It’s a song that gently gives you a push when you’re at a turning point in life or about to take a new step forward.
The Mole’s SongEXPRESS
The genre of reggae tends to be seen as something unfamiliar in Japan.
There are people who listen to it a lot, but many others don’t listen to it at all.
For those people, I recommend EXPRESS’s “Mogura no Uta.” It’s a well-known track in Japanese reggae and one I definitely want first-time listeners to hear.
