[Machine Translation] REGGAE MUSIC MAKES ME HAPPY ! Mr. Utagokoro's first solo project in 4 years. Rebibibi~!!!!! Jr. Dee is an originator who exists at the source of the Yokohama scene, the hottest area of Japanese reggae. The latest mini-album from this lover of music and surfing has arrived! A strange play on words. Songs about happy everyday life, and anthems for the scene that are sure to be a hit at a live show. Lyricism wrapped in a gentle and warm worldview. Life-sized messages. The seven songs are so cleverly arranged that you can't help but want to get into the rhythm of the music, and the POP tune of M4 "Knowtenki" reminds you of riding a bicycle along the boardwalk of Chigasaki Beach. The upper beat of M2 "Beat of Life" invites you to the club scene. M5 "No.1 ~Son~" is a song that resonates with parents of small children, as it expresses a relaxed feeling toward their sons. Many beat makers and musicians from the Shonan area who continue to create quality reggae music participate in the project. Homegrown guitarist I-WATCH is also featured on the album. Stoned Rockers, a reggae band that brings excitement to Shonan. Yota Kobayashi, a guitarist and beat maker who supports many reggae artists, and Mr. Stone, leader and bassist of Stoned Rockers. Up-and-coming keyboardist Mi3 of the Osaka reggae band Chalice Crew. These songs are recorded and mixed by Kon "MPC" Ken of Fist POWA Studio in Kanazawa-Bunko, Yokohama. Shonan roots reggae stalwart Shaggy Tojo also contributes DUB on M6 and M7. He is one of the originators of Japanese reggae. Born in Shizuoka Prefecture: Influenced by his older brother, he first encountered reggae music at an early age through surfing and began to hold a microphone in his hand in 1988. After that, he moved to Yokohama by himself. After working as an artist in "Banana Size Hi-Fi," which can be said to be the origin of the Yokohama reggae scene, he went to Jamaica and New York for an extended period of time in 1993 to pursue the real thing. After returning to Japan, he became an indispensable artist in the Japanese reggae scene, and is a genuine old veteran who is still active at the forefront of the scene. He is a genuine old veteran who is still active at the forefront of the Japanese reggae scene, especially with his unique "swell and movement" style of playing.
