Various Artist - Tokyo Riddim Vol. 2 1979-1986

Time Capsule's Tokyo Riddim Vol. 2 continues to dig into Japan’s unexpected reggae chapter, where city‑pop gloss met dub’s space and became something experimental and entirely its own. From Ryuichi Sakamoto’s little‑known 1978 trip to Kingston, playing synths alongside Neville Hinds and Rita Marley on Teresa Noda, cuts that frame this volume. To shape‑shifters like Yosui Inoue and adventurous names such as Tomoko Aran, the compilation traces a web of cross‑pollination. Compass Point‑tinged grooves, Stevie‑Wonder‑style ambition, Balearic electronics and moments where J‑reggae reveals more about Japan than Jamaica. Carefully curated, these tracks show how an appetite for global sounds turned into a distinct Japanese reggae language that sidestepped US/European norms and still sounds fresh and surprising.
