A really unique selection of Japanese reggae tracks from back in the day – and work that's very different than sounds from both the underground scene in Kingston, and the big wave of reggae hits on the major labels! The pace of many of these cuts has them moving in almost a lovers rock sort of mode – easygoing, warm, and with lots of soulful touches – often served up with instrumentation that echoes some of the city pop generation as well, although maybe a bit more down to earth, given the genre! You might almost think of these tunes as city pop reggae variants – mostly with female singers in the lead – and titles on this second volume include "Tropical Love" by Teresa Noda, "Jamaican Blue" by Risa Minami, "Red Drip" by Kei Ishiguro, "Kanashiki Vaudevillian" by Tomoko Aran, "Yellow Moon" by Teresa Noda, "3 Trois" by Yuki Nakayamate, and "Oshiete Ageru" by Juicy Fruits.
