Shōnan no Kaze (湘南乃風, Shōnan Wind) is a Japanese four-member reggae group, mostly known for their 2006 hit single Junrenka. The name of the band means "A Breeze from Shōnan" (a resort destination in Japan). RED RICE and HAN-KUN both started to form a band together while they were in Shōnan. RED RICE had had a fascination with reggae and hip-hop, while HAN-KUN was originally a dancer from Shōnan. HAN-KUN first heard reggae when, by chance, he heard Buju Banton's Untold Stories while driving.
