SaJohnnys

Sa-Johhnys is a Japanese hip-hop duo consisting of members Sa and Johnny. Formed in the early 1990s, the duo is known for their unique blend of hip-hop music and traditional Japanese instruments, such as the shamisen.

Little background information is available on the duo's early days, but it is reported that Sa-Johhnys gained popularity in the Japanese underground hip-hop scene in the mid-1990s. Their sound, which often incorporates elements of jazz, funk, and rock, helped to establish them as one of the most innovative and influential groups in the Japanese hip-hop genre.

Sa-Johhnys released their debut album, "?" in 1995. The album was moderately successful, but it was their second album, "acc.", released in 1998, that really showcased their unique sound and gained them a wider audience. Since then, the duo has released several more albums and EPs, experimenting with different styles and collaborating with other artists.

Sa-Johhnys' music is characterized by Sa's socially conscious and often provocative lyrics, as well as Johnny's eclectic and atmospheric production. The duo's sound is a far cry from the more commercialized and mainstream hip-hop music that has gained popularity in Japan in recent years. Instead, Sa-Johhnys' music is rooted in the underground hip-hop scene, where creativity and individuality are highly valued. Throughout their career, Sa-Johhnys have maintained a loyal following, both in Japan and internationally.
