Shanana / MINMI

Shanana is a reggae track that sticks in your head after just one listen.

It’s one of the signature songs by MINMI, a singer-songwriter from Osaka, released in 2007 as her ninth single.

The ambitious sound arrangement blends elements of R&B, ska, and festival rhythms.

And of course, the melody line is fantastic—undeniably reggae while still pop.

It’s a perfect showcase of MINMI’s appeal.

For a summer drive, this is the ideal first track for your playlist!

Song of the Four Seasons

It’s a work with a mysterious atmosphere that’s nostalgic yet fires you up.

It’s a track by MINMI, a singer-songwriter from Osaka, included as a coupling on the 2004 single “Ai no Mi.” It was the ending theme for Shinichirō Watanabe’s anime Samurai Champloo.

While the song’s fast-paced development is easy to groove to, the lyrics—evoking one of the protagonists, Fuu—are heartbreakingly bittersweet.

That striking contrast really gets me.

If you like reggae, soca, or lo-fi hip-hop, give it a listen.

A summer song by MINMI, the diva of the Heisei era.

It’s a track that gets crowds pumped up at festivals and the like, but I also think it’s a song that values a sense of unity with MINMI’s fans.

The feelings are for all the fans.

It would be awesome if we could hype up the best summer together.

MINMI, the songstress of the Japa-reggae scene.

She’s an indispensable “big sister” figure when talking about Japa-reggae, with numerous hit songs to her name.

She’s also a regular at Highest Mountain.

She actively collaborates with other scenes as well, and especially “Midsummer Orion” became a Japa-reggae anthem that mixed various musical genres.

MINMI / Ave Maria

This is a song by MINMI that feels like turning the emotion of a wedding directly into music.

It’s often used at actual wedding ceremonies and receptions, making it a perfect track for a happy couple’s new beginning.

Gratitude to parents and the love between the bride and groom are conveyed through gentle, warm vocals.

Released in January 2010, the song was also chosen as the ending theme for TBS’s “King’s Brunch,” capturing the hearts of many.

The music video even features 33 real couples who actually held weddings.

It’s a recommended song not only for couples embarking on a new life together, but also for anyone wishing for a happy future, including those remarrying.
