Nobuyasu Okabayashi

He's been described as the Japanese answer to Bob Dylan, and Nobuyasu Okabayashi followed the same trajectory from protest singer to rock musician – though we don't remember Bob ever having a flirtation with enka. If you missed his performance at this year's Fuji Rock Festival (er... guilty), here's a chance to make amends. Okabayashi will be playing with a full electric band, as well as doing an additional set with Enyatotto-Ichiza, who use traditional instruments to create what their leader dubs – confusingly – 'Japanese reggae'.
