A landmark track representing Okinawa’s hip-hop scene has arrived.

This collaborative piece by SugLawd Familiar, CHICO CARLITO, and Awich is a powerful message song that critiques imitation and asserts a strong will for self-expression.

Its dark sound, fusing reggae and hip-hop, leaves a striking impression while showcasing each artist’s individuality.

Released in December 2022, it was followed in April 2023 by a music video depicting Okinawan culture and landscapes.

The one-take performance on the popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE also stirred buzz, surpassing 7.5 million views in three months.

Highly recommended for those who value staying true to themselves or want to explore Okinawa’s new musical culture.

Go south from Roppa.Furukawa Roppa

Roppa Furukawa, who had a remarkable career as a king of comedy in the Showa era, also left behind many delightful songs as a singer.

This piece feels as if you’re listening to a lively comic monologue right before your eyes.

Carried by a rhythmic performance, it conjures up scenes of a trip to the tropics, and just listening to it makes your heart dance.

It was recorded in December 1940, and although he revealed in his diary that he wasn’t good at cutting records, his resonant singing shows not the slightest trace of that—truly impressive.

You can also hear it on the album “Roppa Furukawa Masterpieces.” It might be the perfect spark to get conversations going during a summer gathering with friends.

Tomoyasu Hotei / HOTEI – “GLORIOUS DAYS”
LORIOUS DAYSHotei Tomoyasu

Not only as a guitarist but also as a composer and singer-songwriter, Tomoyasu Hotei has had a remarkable career.

While he isn’t the type known for powerful vocals, he has created many classic songs with his catchy musical style.

Among his tracks, one I particularly recommend is LORIOUS DAYS.

Despite its loud sound and uptempo feel, the vocal range is surprisingly narrow, and the melody line doesn’t fluctuate much in pitch, making it a song that’s relatively easy to score highly on throughout.

It is an introspective piece, fitting for the stillness of night, included in the album “Six Pieces, Op.

19.” The work envelops the listener in a warm yet sentimental atmosphere, as if overhearing the composer’s personal confession.

Completed in the autumn of 1873, it is striking for the bell-like sonorities—reminiscent of ballet music—that accent the tear-inducing, beautiful melody.

There is also an arrangement for cello and small orchestra, offering a different, deeper emotional resonance from the original.

A masterpiece perfect for a night of quietly dwelling in sorrow and conversing with your own heart.
