How popuar is Reggae music in Japan ?

One day i plan of visiting Japan, and i've always found it interesting to see what thr japanese thought of Jamiaca. I'm from England but both my parents are Jamaican so i obviously listen to a lot of Reggae and when i found out that reggae/danehall etc was big in japan i couldn't believe it! I'd love to go to one of the festivals just to see what it was like. Pushim is my favourite, i love her song with Luciano (BIG time reggae artist in Jamica). You can watch it here:

I'd also like to tell you that Asians aren't a small population in jamaica! There are many Asian people living in Jamaica. It may not seem like it but Jamaica is a very multicultural place.

Thanks for the Board!

Blessed Love, I am travelling to kyoto in February and would like to check out some japanese rasta music, gatherings places etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

One perfect love

I think reggae is very popular in japan ,though i have never been there,i met alot of japanese who love reggae. Im jamaican and i think its cool that reggae music and rastifarian way of life is being spread throughout the world. Though i dont think junko is the number 1 dancehall queen in the world. I think the real dancehall queen is jamaica cause thats where it originated.cant beat the originals.

i would like to meet more japanese or anyone with a cool sense of music. well,anyway,peace

i want the lyric in romaji of keyco spira squall I can't find it if anybody knows where it is please send me a message to priusams@gmail.com thnx
