NEW DAY-ORANKIN TAXI
Some of you might feel that daily fatigue keeps you from fully enjoying your precious days off.
That’s why I’d like to introduce “NEW DAY-O.” This is a work by Rankin Taxi, known as a pioneer who helped popularize reggae music in Japan.
Set to an up-tempo sound, the song depicts breaking free from the everyday and cutting loose.
It also weaves in relatable “music lover” moments, so I think you’ll find it both relatable and exciting.
Lovers ParadiseDennis Brown
Dennis Brown, known as the Crown Prince of Reggae, devoted his life to music with unwavering passion.
His 1985 release “Wildfire” is a reggae number full of warmth: a light, crisp guitar rhythm underpins lyrics that sing of love spreading across the world.
Beyond its irresistibly hummable melody, the harmonies between Dennis Brown and John Holt are utterly captivating.
It’s also a perfect pick when you want to bask in a sweet, romantic mood.
REGGAE BOOM BAPPUSHIM
This track features a comfortably smooth groove where reggae and hip-hop are exquisitely blended, highlighted by PUSHIM’s powerful, soulful vocals.
Crafted as a strong message song for everyone, it delivers a compelling sound that will captivate not only reggae fans but hip-hop listeners as well.
Released in February 2025 to mark the 25th anniversary of her debut, it stands as a milestone work.
Built on a riddim produced by KILLA NAMI and co-produced with Setouchi Music Factory, the song shines with refined production.
It’s perfect when you want a boost of optimism for tomorrow or need to fire yourself up.
A warm, comforting track that gently supports a tired heart.
