Details: In Tokyo in 2021, I had the rare opportunity to DJ only HARIKUYAMAKU songs. Normally, I carry a fair amount of equipment such as effects and mixers to do live dub mixes, but this time I was doing a DJ set. However, I thought that playing only songs that I had already completed, regardless of whether they were released or not, was not interesting for me as a DJ. So, for the two days before the flight, I recorded dub mixes of various songs, burned them onto a CD-R and took them with me. When I returned to Okinawa and listened to the CD-R again, I felt that it was rough in many ways, but I thought it was good including that! So I decided to distribute it. That was 'Shima DUBPLATE for Tokyo 2021'. Then, more time passed, and it was 2024. I was told that they would make this into a record. It's great! It's great, but there are some songs that are a shame to make it into a record, and some that are lacking. Streaming and recording are different things. Since it was a two-mix recording in one take, I thought I had no choice but to layer it. I chose songs from a CD-R, A2 'Ayahaberu' has a flute solo overdubbed by my good friend MAKI TAFARI. A4 'Turubaimun' was toasted by AKANMIMAN. It was his first recording. B1 'Kuduchi Behshi' overdubbed spring reverb noise and synths. I also recorded a new dub mix for the record. A3 'Pacific Dub' is a dub mix of Yoshimichi Ishigaki 's 'Key Stone', which I personally consider to be the best song in Okinawa reggae history, with a reworked rhythm. B4 'Dub Season' is a dub mix of ' Shiki Kudouchi', which was also co-written with his friend Yukino Inamine.
