I'm really into funky pop right now. Just almost easy listening with a beat. Is there anything Japanese like this?

I can only think of hide.

I think caravan is very good. He's not famous. But his music is great.

I head Japanese Rap is a must hear any suggestions?

Def-tech is kinda rappish... closer to reggae though

I'll check it then I love reggae

Can anyone tell me about Rip Slyme? They've been around for some time, but I've never had a chance to listen to their tunes.
