Shonan no Kaze’s classic and popular songs

Let us introduce songs by Shonan no Kaze, a popular reggae group from Shonan.

You could say they were pioneers in bringing reggae music into Japanese living rooms.

They often appear on TV music programs and frequently perform at rock festivals as well.

They have a tough, intimidating look, and some of their CD covers were illustrated by Hiroshi Takahashi, the famed creator of delinquent manga.

Although they have a “yankee” (delinquent) image, when you see them talking on TV, they can be unexpectedly cute—the contrast leaves a great impression.

Enjoy Shonan no Kaze’s reggae, an essential soundtrack for the hot season.
