Tokyo Riddim 1976-1985

Tokyo Riddim 1976-1985 gives showcase to the initial influence of Jamaican culture on the Japanese music scene. J-reggae stylings, galvanized by the verve of Bob Marley and Trojan Records, permeated into the work of jazz and city pop artists like Chu Kosaka and Junko Yogami with dubbed-out low ends and skank rhythms.
