Warrior King Completes Successful ‘Positive Energy’ Asia Tour

Rastafarian reggae artist Warrior King thoroughly enjoyed his recent Positive Energy Asia tour.

The tour featured major highlights like sold out shows in the city of Osaka and another at the Yokohama Bayhall. The tour climaxed with an exciting performance at the packed Forest Inn Sangoro in Yamagata on July 21.

“The crowds were amazing. Each show was more than a concert—it was a spiritual encounter. I was impressed that the fans, the majority of them knew songs like Breath of Fresh Air, I Love You and Baby Girl. They sang them word for word,” he said.

The single, ‘Breath of Fresh Air’, along with his most popular songs on the tour, featured on his debut 2002 album “Virtuous Woman”. The artiste’s breakthrough album achieved chart success, spending nine weeks on the Billboard charts.

The 46 year-old singer, who celebrated his birthday on July 28th, also won a new legion of fans as his tour snaked through The Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Thailand.

He was visiting these territories he was visiting for the first time.

“The fans knew every song on my first two albums,” he said, laughing.

During his swing trough Asia, the ‘Virtuous Woman’ singer experienced first hand the collegiality of the Japanese culture which is often associated with a strong sense of kindness and politeness.

“I tried to give one of my servers a tip and he was confused about the gesture and they politely refused it, that was interesting,” he observed.

Japanese culture emphasizes “omotenashi,” which means anticipating and fulfilling a customer’s needs without expecting anything in return. This philosophy is deeply ingrained in the service industry. Attempting to tip can sometimes be met with confusion or even be politely refused.

“I love Japanese culture as it is centred around core values like respect, harmony, and consideration for others, which align closely with my own core values and philosophy,” he said.

Warrior King is presently in Guyana where he is booked to appear on a show. H will make an appearance at Carifesta, the 15th edition of the Caribbean Festival of Arts, in Barbados in August.

At Carifesta, Warrior King will be representing Jamaica on behalf of the Ministry of Culture.

He will also be performing on the Welcome to Jamrock cruise on October 28th.
