He died from a fatal car accident after a earthquake in Japan.
oh… yeah? haha
what a bum ass rip msg brotha
Just found out Feb. 26th was also the day Japan got hit by a 7.0 earthquake. What a horrible timing that was. :sad:
First thing I saw this morning when I got was a post from DJ Premier saying he died. I was shocked. plays his joint with CL Smooth in memory People may not realize how much influence he had on Japanese music. It even spread to the US and Canada. If you like Nujabes check out this dude named Elaquent. RIP Jun Seba!
who could forget aruarian dance when they first heard it?
Nujabes has and will forever be in rotation
Rest In Peace.
When i first heard this track i immediately thought it was another classic Pete Rock and CL smooth joint, until i heard CL Smooth rep Nujabes. I was deeply impressed by the soul he put into this track, that goes for ALL his music. I seriously feel fucked up even after reading about it 4 hours ago, i don’t think i will feel any better for at least a week.
I’ve got too many favourite Nujabes tracks but i’ll post this one: Nujabes - Old Light (Voices from 93 Million Miles Away Remix
One of my favorite artists… R.I.P.
UGH! I can’t believe this! Easily my favorite artist from Japan next to DJ Krush and DJ Kentaro. Such a huge influence for me.
My favorite track, Tsurugi No Mai

RIP!
Too many of my Heroes have gone way too soon…
Without his music I can’t see another Samurai Champloo coming out. His music gave the series its heart and soul.
Goodness…I’m really speechless. Started listening to Nujabes back in the champloo days and haven’t stopped since. I heard the news from my bro and couldn’t believe it. Like someone posted earlier in the thread, it was an accident and not even a natural passing.
R.I.P. Nujabes
I can’t leave the thread without a gem from the man himself…

One of my fav Jun Seba tracks. Damn.
Damn, never thought this would happen so soon. RIP Jun Seba aka Nujabes. Produced wicked tracks which I first heard on Samurai Champloo. I wanted to make beats because of this man.
Damn, say it ain’t so. Dude is an inspiration. I always felt like he must have come down from heaven with those tracks. I’ve never heard anything like it ever.
RIP
Duuuuuude I am genuinely sad… I didn’t even feel this way after all the crazy deaths last year. This one hit me hard…

I hate to sulk around a thread , but this death is saddest one to me he was getting a steady growing following in America.
Once again, one of the greatest to ever do it is taken away from us before we’re ready…
RIP Nujabes…any one know the cause of death?
Man I just heard about this. R.I.P homie.
Damn, and we’re finding out almost a month later?
:shake:
Man, this news completely gutted me…
RIP Nujabes…
@Soulstar: It was a car accident.
I wish I heard this guy’s stuff sooner. Yet another thing Japan takes from America and makes it better.
:’(
r.i.p.
he left us too soon.
