Dread in Japan

Another Reggae Club

April 28th, 2008 · 17 Comments

Another weekend of partying and I found another wicked reggae club. The club`s name is OPEN and it is in Shinjuku (my favorite area). After watching Chelsea beat Man U. at the bar, my crew decided to keep drinking (as usual) and we ended up finding this gem. The club played nothing but foundation reggae all night. 1000 Yen got us in the place and a drink. The place was off the hook with a nice size crowd that included a good amount of ladies. I will definitely be going back to this place again soon. Sorry I don`t have any pics from the event, but I didn`t even know the place existed. I originally just wanted to watch the game, but ended up finding this joint. Yet another reason why I love Tokyo, there are so many hidden spots were you can chill and listen to good music. I will post the website address for this spot as soon as I find it. Till then PEACE.

Upcoming posts:  my Japan TV review, immigration issues, and video game wars.

Also, in the very near future, I will be updating the gallery with some pics from D`s birthday bash and my top 5 celebrity ladies!

Did I Forget To Mention…..

April 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

I did a post about Jero, but I forgot to talk about some other black people doing big things in the music industry here. The people I am going to mention are born in Japan, but are mixed, blowing up in the J-POP scene. First is a beautiful young lady named Crystal Kay. I am not sure why she isn`t pursuing a career in the states as her English is native level, she can sing and she is banging! Check out the pic and the video link below.

The next one is new to the scene, but she is also doing big things. Her name is Thelma Aoyama. I am not sure if she would have the same appeal over in the states, but she definitely deserves a big up. Check out the link to the live performance below.

By the way, here is a link to the number 1 tune in Japan right now…..

NO.1 Tune

On the topic of music, I have to say I have been less than thrilled with the Hip Hop that has been coming out whether it be underground or commercial, but I have heard a few tracks that are getting me excited again. This track might not make Prodigy`s next album due to sample clearance issues, but it is banging. Love or hate G-unit, you cannot front on this track.

Enjoy, I am out PEACE!
