Rocked to this one a few times. I don't how much of it I'd really call funk, more Jazz and some more adventurous citypop, but there's a couple funky ones in there. I really dig the cultural conversation between Japan and the US. Film (westerns and jidaigeki) and video games (the whole history of rpgs), but there's an equally very cool dialogue in music. Probably fashion and food as well! Anyway, hope you enjoy these tracks.
