deai (feat.RED RICE,BIG RON) [Major mix]

As the title suggests, this song centers on the theme of a romantic encounter.

Created by reggae singer Kyushu Dan, featuring RED RICE from Shonan no Kaze and hip-hop artist BIG RON, the track captures that moment of love at first sight you may have experienced upon meeting someone for the first time.

It tells the story of a romance sparked by chance, and a man mustering the courage to confess his feelings.

When this song was released, many listeners surely drew courage from it.

Kyushu Man 'Sakura Road' PV (Full ver.)

Kusuo, a singer-songwriter from Nagasaki Prefecture with reggae roots who’s widely supported for his emotionally resonant songs.

Released in March 2009 as his second major-label single, this work is a classic that dramatizes springtime farewells and new departures.

It was later included on the album “(R).” The single also featured a track that became the ending theme for TBS’s “The World’s Mysteries,” and at the time, a commercial featuring a pro wrestler from the same hometown drew attention as well.

The lyrics, which hold both the poignancy of falling cherry blossoms and the strength to move toward the future, gently push listeners forward.

Sung over reggae’s uniquely soothing rhythm, it keeps the mood from getting too somber and helps you stay positive.

It’s a perfect pick for karaoke to celebrate new beginnings when you want to get fired up with friends.

Kyushu Man / To You Above the Clouds

“Kumo no Ue no Kimi to” is a song by Kyushu-O, a singer-songwriter from Nagasaki Prefecture.

It was included on his indie mini-album “Koiga Ore desubai,” which held the top spot on the Oricon Indies Chart for five consecutive weeks.

The track was later re-recorded for his major-label debut album “HB,” and in 2009 a sequel titled “Kumo no Ue no Kimi to epilogue” was released as a single.

Rich with the reggae-influenced charm that defines Kyushu-O, it’s a breakup song whose overall vibe is actually upbeat.

When you’re going through tough and painful times, try listening to “Kumo no Ue no Kimi to” to help lift your spirits, even just a little.

KyuShuDanji – Our Time for Two.. feat. TSUGUMI (from SOULHEAD) ~KyuShuDanji LIVE TOUR 2014 Tokyo Version~

This is the first indie single by Kusuo, a singer-songwriter from Nagasaki Prefecture.

It vividly expresses the feelings of a man and woman who, after many different experiences, come to realize that in the end, there’s no one but you.

I felt it’s a wedding song that really resonates with couples who’ve been through a fair amount together.
