Events : Fever! Dj Hazime's Birthday Bash ~ Fri 17 June 2011!



Big Up Deadly Dragon Family!!!


東京滞在中のDDSの親友とファンのマール博士からの報告です。


This here is Marr Hakase a.k.a. Dr. Marr, fan and friend of DDS, with a special likkle Japanese reggae report from Tokyo!


6月17日の金曜日は朝から日本の経済の現状を分析する経済学者Uniqloの社長、国会議員、アメリカ大使と日米関係等について話す貴重な経験があったけど...すんなのどうでもいいからその後の東京のAgehaでのイベントについて、この場を借りて書かしていただきたいと思っておりまス。


Last Friday I was able to meet with corporate leaders, politicians, US Ambassador to Japan, etc. to talk about US-Japan relations and ting. But after immersing in the core of Babylon East,it was all about Japanese reggae at Club Ageha on Tokyo Bay. If you are in Tokyo on a Friday night be sure to check out the wicked dancehall scene poolside! Arrive late with your wining shoes on, because the party continues through sunrise and don’t stop until 8 in the mornin’.


去年FIUで踊っていただいたHelty Baddy GirlsYoukoさんが踊ると言う事でまだ時差ぼけだったけどひとりぼっち外人おっさんスタイルで夜中に足をのばして行ってみた。結論から言えば久しぶりに東京でダンスホールバイブズを味わってとても楽しかった和!


Leading up the dancing were the energy goddesses, original bad gal crew Helty Baddy Girls! Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Youko-san, who you may catch dancing in NY, Kingston, or soon in Toronto. She came down to Miami and danced for my students at FIU (click the link above to check it out).


Blast StarUnity SoundBlack Gold Soundなどのレゲエ/ダンスホールのプレーを朝まで十分楽しませてもらったんだけどやっぱりハイライトはDJ Hazimeの誕生日お祝いにoriginal queen of Japanese reggaePushimさんのサプライズライブだったな〜。


International Japanese sounds Blast Star, Unity Sound, and Black Gold Sound mashed up the dance all night long. But the highlight had to be catching a special surprise performance of the original singing queen of Japanese reggae, Ms. Pushim-P! She came out to sing a special happy birthstrong chune for hip hop specialist DJ Hazime.


大分前からPushimの大ファンだけど今までは一回しかライブ見た事なくて、先週の東京でのライブも仕事が急がしくて見逃したので宝のような体験だった。よくマイアミビーチで一杯のみながらipodで聞くrainbow」という歌を歌ってくれた。やっぱりあのsoulful voiceは最高だなとおもった。緊張してて下手な日本語で喋ったと思うけど本人直接に感謝の言葉が伝えられて嬉しかった和。


I’ve been a fan of Pushim’s music since she burst pon da scene in the late 1990s, but had only seen her live once before. She sang her big tune “Rainbow.” I usually listen to it on my ipod sitting on Miami Beach, so to hear it live in Tokyo was a true treasure.




その後はHelty Baddyのダンスタイムが始まってYoukoさんとYumikoさんと生徒さんたち8人で踊ってくれてマシュー教授おっさんまでも元気与えられた。この映像はバッドマインドを燃やしてるステップ!


After that, it was time for Helty Baddy to ram up the dance. This time they brought their students along to keep the vibes up and dash way bad mind till the early morn.




やっぱりHelty Baddy Girlsに日本だけじゃなくてグローバル活動続けてもらいたいな〜。Blast StarAri-Tさんも今度Ft. Lauderdaleに戻るらしいのでアメリカでのダンス楽しみにしてる和。


Keep an eye out for Helty Baddy at a dance near you ‘cause they global! Ari-T from Blast Star is coming back to Ft. Lauderdale, so be sure to check him if you’re in South Florida. If you haven’t scoped Pushim’s discography you are truly missing out. Be sure to check for her music at Deadly Dragon cause you may be able to find a gem or two.


ちょっと長くなっちゃったけどHelty Baddy、すべてのサウンドマン、そしてPushimさんに感謝感謝&Big UP!イベントの他の写真みたい方はHelty Baddy Blogチェックしてね。


Be sure to check the Helty Baddy Blog link above for more photos from the event! Nuff nuff thanks to Helty Baddy Girls, all sound man, and the one and only Queen Pushim!

On May 5th we were twice blessed when one of our favorite new Deejays passed through -- yes indeed, the man called MILLION STYLEZ jumped on the mic and simply tore down the place!
