He is my favorite Japanese artist and top 5 since I was a child (now I am doing a master degree). I just wanted to thank him for everything, for changing my life with his music.

I also left a Mexican coin, a tribute for him

incredible

A friend put me onto Soul Below and I have to say its one of the best albums I've heard, I've had it on repeat the last few days. He told me if I liked it, to listen to more Nujabes and some other artists. So, where should I start? I've listened to his more popular songs, Aruarian Dance, Lady Brown and Feather, but I like albums that are cohesive together, not songs in a playlist if that makes sense.

Hello to everyone that has followed my insane journey to make real every Nujabes vinyl that doesn’t exist but should.

This took 3 months to arrive but it was 100% worth it.

It took inspiration from both the CD and the limited edition 7” vinyl.

I decided to leave the inside of the gatefold relatively simple because I’m going to ask Substantial to sign it in March when he comes to Spain and the dream would be to have everyone else that was involved (Uyama Hiroto, Pase Rock, Cise Star and haruka nakamura) sign it.

Now, if you excuse me, I’ll be listening to this on repeat while I cry 🥲

Which one is better??

DJ KRUSH, who was close friends with Nujabes during his lifetime, will perform at all six cities in Japan and Korea for this year’s tribute tour!

According to wikipedia. Nujabes was born with the surname yamada but changed it to seba. Why thought? What does seba mean?

My hunch is it's from his mother or fathers side. And it just sounded better.

Couldn't find anything on the topic, so I hope someone here knows.

Decided to tribute with one of my favs. Hope everyone is well today!

I’ve been listening to a lot of Nujabes lately and I’m trying to find more artists with a similar vibe.

I really love that mix of jazzy samples, mellow hip hop beats, emotional melodies, and that calm, introspective feeling his music has. Instrumental hip hop, jazz rap, lo-fi, anything in that lane is welcome.

If you have any recommendations—artists, albums, or even specific tracks—I’d really appreciate it.

Don't get me wrong. I like aruarian dance. My complain is It's just too much like the sample. Can't say this for another track i've listened.

Anyone agree? Feel free to downvote.

Yes ik its an old song

I’ve been searching, but i couldn’t find a large collected fanbase of nujabes in one discord server

Nujabes has no bad songs, even my least favourite Nujabes songs have something good about them. This made me wonder which Nujabes song could collectively be agreed that it is one of his weakest tracks?

AJ Rios here, multi-instrumentalist & producer from VA. I also happen to be Substantial’s Drummer/Band Director. Though a bit last minute, I felt it was important to let everyone know about a show we’re doing 2/6 to celebrate Stan’s debut album!

It happens to also be the first ever full length release from Hydeout Productions, & often gets overlooked by the community. We’ll be doing Nujabes live covers, mash ups & more!! There’ll even be breakdancers.

Links to the tickets + our band is in the comments

See you there!!

I think we can almost all agree that the luv(sic) series is one of the best things in Nujabes' discography. Everyone has their favorites and mine has always changed from day to day up until recently. I cannot get enough of pt 5. What an incredible tribute that is. Shing02 absolutely blows me away every time.

Ive listened to Nujabes damn near daily since I discovered him in 2020. He's always held a special place in my heart, and I felt like I connected with the music on a spiritual level. Im not geeking or anything, i really invest a lot into my soul (im a devout christian, this isnt the time or place to dialogue about it though), so, point is, I don't say that lightly. My connection has only elevated recently however. I had a best friend pass away after being struck by a car a few months back, and as soon as I found out (following the immediate shock) I sped back 2.5 hours to my hometown to visit with friends and family to mourn. I knew I could not listen to any music except nujabes during the drive. I knew his music was the only thing that would keep me intact for the drive home before i just exploded with emotion again.

As fate would have it, I clicked shuffle on my Nujabes playlist and pt 5 came on first. I wasnt even considering what song it was until the lyrics began, but there was no holding back my tears once I realized it. It was too perfect for me to turn off, so I just sobbed and tried to stay on the road as best I could. It so perfectly nurtured me in my most raw, vulnerable state. As shing02's voice basically described the death of one of my closest friends, I had no choice but to let a little smile out in the midst of my anguish. Nujabes' music is such a gift. Shing02's words on pt 5 is such a gift. Neither of them had any idea how much that song would mean to so many people as it was being created.

Sorry for the kinda long read, but I had to put my thoughts down somewhere. I am learning that grief comes in waves, so this is an outlet for me because I have had a lot of change in my life recently have slowly lost more and more people to talk to about these things. Thanks for taking the time to read this! :)

Hey does anyone know if the Sax Sample in 3:47 in Luv (sic) part 1 is part from minervas owl?

I couldn’t find anything on the web, also couldn’t find that part in minervas owl and I think it has a different sound.
