10 years ago a Japanese hip hop group would rather be associated with anything than Japanese traditional music.These days it's almost de rigeur to start off with some traditional shamisen or similar. The rest is pretty much standard fare Japanese rap and hip hop, a scene which has developed a new confidence and originality, why, it's even become cool to have some shakuhachi (bamboo flute) in the mix too. Be warned, the last 20 minutes is wasted with natural sounds, relaxing but out of context here.
