Japan loves Jamaican Music and Jamaicans love Japanese cars. It's funny how global trade impacts culture

From JA Jamaica to JA Japan 🇯🇲🇯🇵 big up each and every time 💯🎵

Music doesn't care about borders, it doesn't care about class or creed, ain't no barriers can stop it, ain't no way to turn it back.

So proud to know the Japanese love our Music as Bob Marley said When the Music 🎶 hit you feel no pain. May they enjoy always 🙏 ❤

Reggae is loved worldwide because it lifts your vibrational frequency to a higher level than other music. Most people don't realise this but when you listen to it that is what it is doing. There are 9 core frequencies that define the world and music was a 432 Hz frequency. When you listen to reggae at 432Hz it lifts your vibrational frequency. They changed the frequency to 440hz with lots of different types of music as they know it influences your mood negatively and can make people think negatively and violently. Every living thing has a vibrational frequency. Find out more about this for yourself as knowledge is power.

Well, That’s a Surprise!..I Would Never Of Thought Japan Would Get In2 Reggare!..I LOVE It!!!

Did some of the Japansplash tours…the Ochai brothers use to do them n then they split n did separate tours….the artistes I worked with were signed to Sony, so being in their Sony’s motherland’ , the company was very welcoming n generous…did a show on Iwo Jima….have lovely pictures of the Koi lake n the Koi fish in it…the lake was adjacent to where the concert was held….the shows were always jammed…..they really love the music…..

Fascinating.

Yes, always have love for Japan because they always care about the Foundation, Roots and Culture coming from Jamaica. In facts, they will have more Sound Systems because they very big on engineering which made Ska, Roots, Rocksteady, Reggae and Dancehall. Yes, every thing have to do with engineering and the Asain specialized in being a perfectionist.

Don't forget Germany too. Some of the rarest video clips for reggae are to be found in Germany and Japan.

More sound systems in Japan than Jamaica, wow, I had no idea reggae was that big there. They must have flipped when Jimmy Cliff actually showed up in person after being influenced by The Harder They Come! You can tell from the first Japanese reggae albums how much The Wailers crew helped them out. I have seen some reggae from Japan on KZread and it is really good. This video shows the universal appeal to reggae music that started in Jamaica. I see playing reggae as an art, and is always good to learn more about Reggae! Super rad video and love the style and approach. Life Bless!

Wow Japan has over 300 sound systems. Big up Japan

Japan and the UK embraced reggae and helped create an evolution which became Jungle. Under My Sleng Ting is a great example of this. Bigup!!! Bless!!! ❤💛💚

When the Japanese were defeated in WW2, they collectively set about restoring 'face'. Companies introduced company songs, company exercises, etc. to build up what had been lost. The progam went a little too far and it was realized that the Japanese no longer knew how to relax. A search was done to see what country could help them unwind. And you guessed it - Jamaica! Companies sent employees to Japan and hotels in Jamaica even sent staff to Japan to learn Japanese as the market was growing. This movement may have aided the introduction of reggae to Japan.

Japanese are always an appreciative audience. Salsa and Samba are tremendously big there as well.

Reggae is popular in Japan because Reggae artists get paid in full, I’ve lived in Japan and Japanese people do not bargain if you are selling something for ¥100 they will give you what you are asking for, it’s considered rude asking for a discount. In the late 90s Burning Spear came over to Japan with a lot of merchandise cds, t shirts, posters, arts and crafts everything was sold out before the show started.

It should be noted that the producer of, The Harder They Come, was a white Jamaican who mortgaged his house to see it made. Indian and Chinese Jamaicans contribute mightily to the culture and economy. Pushing us all to a better world requires all hands on deck. Big up everyone for out of many...

Because when the Japanese embrace something, they do it right and with a passion to preserve what came before. Take a look at their Latin American Salsa bands. They don’t play! They are serious at emulating what came before!

The Japanese love reggae, soul and scooters, R ,n, B and mods.

When black Americans see their culture in various parts of the world they say its influence. When they see other black culture being embraced they say its culture appropriation and we should do something about it🤦🏾‍♂️

I would never classify reggae as pop music. It galvanized people around the world. I am a traveller (120 countries and counting) and I have heard reggae everywhere. In obscure countries (Bhutan, etc.) where the language is not understood, then perhaps it can be considered pop music. But in countries where the message has been understood, it has become much more than pop music.

Easy,,,easy,,,it’s REGGAE,,,,not dancehall,,,which is a place,,,,stay true,,,,
