      Both countries with deep imperial backgrounds.....Black unity and anti-colonism should be prioritised not the celebration of perceived acceptance through entertainment that gives the latter more opportunity and reinforces their fragile self esteem. A true ally would not be threatened of this as this will empower the people this impacts in a positive way so why isnt this happening? Its because black unity is a threat while unity amongst other cultures is accepted. Reggae is based on Rastafarism just like Bushido of Japanese culture. Can a black man embrace Japanese culture and be accepted in the same manner? They are currently being sketchy around the existence of the first foreign samurai who is a freed slave of African descent named Yasuke. Japan has embraced so much of black culture outside of just Reggae but will never fully accept the people. Im one for equality and exchange of culture but how long shall this disparity be accepted while we still sing "One Love"?

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.

    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 RUclips 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.
