When it comes to reggae-inspired summer songs in Japanese music, you can’t leave out Shonan no Kaze.

Though it’s a summer anthem, the song has an irresistibly bittersweet atmosphere that evokes a sense of youth.

It’s not just pop for pop’s sake—their signature style shines through, delivering not only an uplifting boost but also a poignant, heart-tugging feeling.

Shonan no Kaze “Haoju (Cactus)” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a song by the reggae group Shonan no Kaze that expresses hope for the future in a fun way.

While retaining reggae’s deep, resonant beat, it features an uptempo, light offbeat and bright brass sounds, giving it a strong ska feel as well.

Since the two genres share a close history, it makes sense that their elements blend smoothly here.

The vocals progress in a rap style, so the words feel light, yet the crisp, upbeat phrasing delivers an encouraging message that lifts your spirits.

It’s a bright, forward-looking track that would suit a summer blue sky and time spent with friends.

Encounter…Kyūshūdan feat. RED RICE (Shōnan no Kaze) BIG RON27rank/position

Encounter.. feat. RED RICE, BIG RON

For fans, a collaboration like KREVA (KyushuDanji) feat.

Shonan no Kaze is irresistible, right? It brings out the strengths of both artists so well, and even though it’s a collaboration between male performers, it somehow feels cute and refreshing, expressing the pure feelings of a boy in love.

HorizonShonan no Kaze28rank/position

Horizon

Shonan no Kaze, practically a byword for “hot-blooded” and “manly.” You can’t help but think their fight songs suit them perfectly, right? Their track Horizon was released as a single in 2016 and was selected as the theme song for GEO Channel’s original drama Ryu ga Gotoku: Tamashii no Uta, tied to the hit game Yakuza.

The lyrics connect with the work’s depiction of men’s lives in the nighttime pleasure district—so intense and it all feels strikingly real.

Doesn’t it seem like the kind of song that would leave you feeling refreshed when you’re irritated?
