2023 and I’m still vibing to nujabes and Shing02

shing's lyricism is really underrated. "A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient, To an open heart, it's a daily operation" amazing song.

I really hope people are still vibing to this underrated bop.. 2021?! 2023 stand up! Our music will never die as long we vibe to it❤love to all my people!

There's no better way to honor a legend than by a remix of another future legend like Uyama Hiroto with lyrical bless by Shing02. Keep the spirit alive!

Jun, Shingo, Uyama, Substiantial and the others made me grow up to the better, thanks for everything guys.

2024 and still one of the best gems you guys have created.

Man... I thought I didn't like hip hop. Turns out I was listening to the wrong hip-hop 🙂

I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth But the stones turned precious when they all came out On a string of deep thought that could never be bought Body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor What was left a shoestring budget on call Then these new styles came along Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated Make you feel old and jaded The goal was to make it and we made it but We didn't know how to keep it Like nice kicks that wouldn't fit Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up Store it underneath the bed and open it up Once in a blue moon Think about a cool ending To a story that ended too soon Gotta bring back the feeling I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient To an open heart, it's a daily operation After six come seven and eight Access code to the pearly gates They say heaven can wait And you speak of fate A finale to a play for my mate I see the angels draw the drapes Over the earthscape Where the wine is the spirit of grapes Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape As our records will stay on rotate You say a circle is a flawless shape Every part equi-distance from the center On the arc without a start or a finish A line on a loop carries weight A freight train runs unabated Views vanish from my point vantage Passages come in and out The way I recall your antics Still alive cause I said it A life of its own unless we dead it Till they see our name in credits A labor of love you mean slavery Surely, it's been quite savory Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy Pure magic when she touches me I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style You profess, would you be my guest Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long Just pass it on like a song And I might look calm and collected at a glance But I taste the void when I'm not connected To the world kinetic, as opposed to static Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed The mind in need of stimulation Elevator music to the space station Penthouse of stars a-blazing After six come seven and eight Access code to the pearly gates They say heaven can wait And you speak of fate A finale to a play for my mate I see the angels draw the drapes Over the earthscape Where the wine is the spirit of grapes Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape As our records will stay on rotate

Had to come back here after the OMA live performance. This is still magical.

"After six comes seven and eight Access codes to the pearly gate They say Heaven can wait And you speak of fate A finale to a play for my mate I see the angels draw the drapes Over the Earthscape Where the wine is the spirit of grapes Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape As our records will stay on rotate" R.I.P. Nujabes

Any generation is the right generation as long as you have access to songs like this.

I hope the afterlife is comparable with the feeling/vibes i get when i hear this song. Tranquility, serenity, peace.

Thank you Shing02, for helping keep Nujabes alive throughout all this time! Truly an eternal soul

A young voice and presence with the experience of an older man. This really does have the feel of Nujabes luv(sic). I'm sure he'd be happy his legacy was carrying on.

Shing,Seba,and Uyama are the kinds of people that can make music bump for a thousand years. Truly Eternal Souls.

Luv(sic)pt.6 ft.Shing02 I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world 形の無い世界で比喩のような女の子に出会った now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl そのせいで空想をして、丸くなって寝ているんだ her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup 彼女の名前が舌に乗れば、新鮮な味、そう whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone 彼女が現ると、僕のコーンが渦巻くんだ i used to rap like i had some marbles in my mouth 僕は口にビー玉が詰まったようにラップをしていた but the stones turned precious when they all came out でも石ころが宝石となって出て来たんだ on a string of deep thought that could never be bought 深い思考の糸に繋がって、決して買えないもの body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop ボディロックを、止めるな、ビバップからヒップホップ cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor, 氷のように冷たく、床で溶けるのを見ていた what was left a shoestring budget on call 残ったのは僅かな予算と連絡待ち then these new styles came along 新しいスタイル達がやって来て some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip 次のヒットを求めて、彼らはトリップしに行った colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated エアブラシされた写真集は色褪せて、古く make you feel old and jaded 年を感じて、何も感じなくなる the point was to make it and we made it but 成功と言う目的地は辿り着いたけれど we didn't know how to keep it どうやって守るかを知らなかった like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit 足に合わない新しいスニーカーのように only way was to box it up and duct tape it up 箱に入れてガムテープをするしかなかった store it underneath the bed and open it up ベッドの下にしまっておいて、たまに開けるんだ once in a blue moon, めったにないけど think about a cool ending クールなエンディングを考えながら to a story that ended too soon 終わりが早過ぎたストーリーのために gotta bring back the feeling あのフィーリングを思い起こすんだ I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending 飢えているだけは絶対に嫌だから a pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient ペンは患者へのメスよりも鋭い to an open heart, it's a daily operation 開いた胸には毎日がオペなんだ after six come seven and eight ６の後には７と８ access code to the pearly gates 真珠のゲートの暗証番号 they say heaven can wait 天国は待ってくれるって言う and you speak of fate 君は運命だと a finale to a play for my mate 劇のフィナーレ、友のために I see the angels draw the drapes 天使が幕を下ろすのが見える over the earthscape この地形へ where the wine is the spirit of grapes ワインは葡萄のスピリット gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape 始めた事を終わらせよう、テープを切る as our records will stay on rotate 僕たちのレコードは回り続ける you say a circle is a flawless shape 君は円は完璧な形だと言う every part equi-distance from the center 全ての点は中心から同じ距離で on the arc without a start or a finish 弧の上で、始点も終点もなく a line on a loop carries weight ループになった線は荷を運ぶ a freight train runs unabated 貨物車は衰えず走る views vanish from my point vantage, 見晴らしの良い景色の消失点 passages come in and out, the way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics) 君の仕草のように、詩が浮かんでは薄れる still alive 'cause I said it まだ生きているのは、口にしたから a life of its own unless we dead it 僕たちが絶つまでは宿る命 till they see our name in credits 名前がエンドロールで流れるまで a labor of love you mean slavery 愛の労働って奴隷のことなのか surely, it's been quite savory 確かにかなり風味のある crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy クレープをバルコニーで、言葉の錬金術 pure magic when she touches me 彼女が触れると純粋な魔術 I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style 僕が読んだのは、愛は優しく、 you profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest) 君が公言するスタイルにも盲目で,ゲストになってくれるかい happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long 幸せは持ち続けるのが難しいホットポテト just pass it on like asong 曲みたいに隣の人と分ければ良い and I might look calm and collected at a glance 僕は表向きは落ち着いていても but I taste the void when I'm not connected 虚無を味わっている、繋がっていない時 to the world kinetic, as opposed to static 運動している世界と、静止とは逆の idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict) 遊んでいる手はデジタル中毒の餌食 on a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed インスピレーションの連勝記録は the mind in need of stimulation 刺激を必要としている心のために elevator music to the space station 宇宙ステーションへのエレベーター音楽 penthouse of stars a-blazing スター達が燃えるペントハウスへ after six come seven and eight ６の後には７と８ access code to the pearly gates 真珠のゲートの暗証番号 they say heaven can wait 天国は待ってくれるって言う and you speak of fate 君は運命だと a finale to a play for my mate 劇のフィナーレ、友のために I see the angels draw the drapes 天使が幕を下ろすのが見える over the earthscape この地形へ where the wine is the spirit of grapes ワインは葡萄のスピリット gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape 始めた事を終わらせよう、テープを切る as our records will stay on rotate 僕たちのレコードは回り続ける

Bro 2024 and i’m keep to listen this music RIP JUN SEBA

It's the last day of 2020. We still listenin' to Shing02. Love You,Bro. Hope i can come to your concerts and see u one day.

Unless you live in Japan, you dont know how dope that this is that shing is skating in the broad daylight!

Heard the instrumental on the lofi girl Livestream. The universe brought me the luvsic parts and I'm glad it did

The final third is genuinely one of the most beautiful pieces of instrumental I have ever heard.

that strings tho, gets stuck in your head for days. im not complaining

Nujabes and Shing saved my life

マジで何回聴いたかわからんほど聴いてる。シリーズ完結に相応しいこの哀愁感が沁みる

長い物語を共に歩けたような気がして、奮い立ちました。 音楽も命と一緒で、輪廻して語り継がれていくのでしょう。 終わりは始まり、まさにこの言葉が似合う曲だと思います。 ありがとう。

these songs by nujabes, shing02, cise star, uyama, substantial, etc have changed my childhood for the better thank you all

Really sucks that Nujabes isn't there to be with them working with music. May his soul transcends this world with beauty.

2022 still listening?

Sublime. Jun would be proud.

Part4 and 6 always have special place in my heart

泣きそう、過去を思い出すが新しく‥‥ ありがとうございます

Amazing! Nujabes would be proud! May he rest in beats.. -Paint The Sky,Blew!!!

01 / 01 / 2024 , TAN REAL COMO SIEMPRE, Y ASI SERÁ

We will never forget him, thank you for letting us savor and cherish him through this. You and Hiroto keep up the amazing work

The swaggiest Japanese dudes on the planet. Absolutely awesome music.

いつ聴いても新鮮なんです。 色褪せないってこういう事なんですね。

いつ聞いてもバカかっけー！！

Will never get tired of this. An absolute masterpiece.

Quand j'en ai marre d'entendre ce que j'entends un peu partout, que ce soit à la radio ou à la TV, j'ai juste à passer écouter cette oeuvre et tout vas mieux. Des mecs comme vous deux Shingo, Hiroto, ça fait plaisir.

Thank you for enabling comments again.

聴いた瞬間の衝撃は17年間生きてる中でも群を抜いて感じた。 日本の10代ではそこまで知名度高くはないけど海外の人から人気な理由が分かったような気がする。

Forever Nujabes and Shing02!

Literally just the intro of this song is enough. With the solemnly gentle strums of the guitar rising the rest of the beat, it won me over quickly. One of my favorite songs ever.

how and why do I keep coming back to japanese stuff and all of it is good I didn't even look for it

This just hit me so unexpectedly hard. It's been too long since I felt emotion like that, cried. Over nothing, maybe, everything. A storm of emotions suddenly running through me, as though only now finding their way free. Thank you so much Akin, Hiroto, Nujabes, e22video even... From another stranger finding their way through this strange world.

Shing02 gotta be one of the best MC's out there

Only 2.1M views 😥 people don't deserve this masterpiece

I just finished high school. I'm leaving my parents house in a new town. It's summer and I just discovered this song. I listen to it while skating around the city. I go back to every place of my childhood doing a last goodbye. It hurts because I know I'll never see some of these people again. It will never be the same. Being a kid totally free in the hot summer wind. These moments are now part of the past...

ずっと聞いてる。 ずっと聞いていける。

One of the most realistic, honest vids ever. Love

My favorite luvsic

小さい頃初めて聴いた時、心地よさしか感じなかったけれど それなりに歳を重ね、歌詞に目を向けた時本当の素晴らしさに気づきました。 流れるだけで目の前の景色に色がさすような、私の大切な1曲です。

This is just ART

The beat and lyricism are top tier. I love this song so much

Best instrumental in the world. Wow...

One of the most beautiful songs ever produced in my books. Feels incredibly special to listen to such a perfect tribute. May be 2019 but Rest in Beats Nujabes

wow i really love this song. the vibe just fills me with joy. It's so playful and relaxing. i also love to see you guys working together in the studio. So glad I found this!

I listen to this gem everyday, it just makes me happy and calm in a way I can't explain

Rest in Beats Jun Seba aka Nujabes! Thanks for open the doors for us to this kind of genre!

spiritual experience every time

2:00 My favorite part of the video is the lick lip at the end of the verse following a scene of them both combing through the shelf of music simultaneously 🤙🏾🤩

someone listen this in 2019

samurai champloo got me into this years ago and I’m still constantly listening to nujabes, shingo, uyama, etc. It’s amazing

Luv sic series always puts me in a good mood. Thank you nujabes, shing02

I won't forget this song forever.

I'm in love with this song! Sooooo freaking good! Luvsic pt. 6 is my favourite and this remix of it is amazing! Thank you Uyama and Shing! RIP Nujabes!

2022 Forever Nujabes and Shing02!

been having this song on loop for months now, its simply impossible for me to get bored with this... simply impossible

いつ聴いてもかっこいいな

Someone listening to this in 2021

Still one of my favorite songs of all time

He was renting his apartment out in Cali a couple years back in the wood in San Gabriel Valley I believe it had a recording studio in it I almost jumped on it I'm imagine having this legend be your landlord

The hexology on spotify just hits different man. Why does this song pluck strings in my heart that others just fail to, ive never found a song that gives me the same feeling as luv, its just beautiful, wonderful, an adventure in a bottle. Thank you so much for this. I dont think i can quite convey in words how much this means me.

Eyy!! I listen to this every day!!

Rest in peace Jun. You left this place long ago, but your music will accompany us till our final days.

God this is such good hip hop, why can't there be more like this??

何年前になるかだけれど聴いた瞬間にビートとラップに細胞レベルで感じた。 そんな一曲だった。

This song will never die

It's rare finding a remix that's just as good as the original. This is music for the soul.

🌞 Sunday, 08.10.2023 still love this song ☺

This is perfect in so many ways.

Men you are wonderful ! It feels like I should just close my eyes on all other human-looking persons in the world and keep only staring at wonderful persons like you. Thanks for the hope and understanding that you bring by being there, somewhere around.

I love this song! thanks shing02, Nujabes and Hiroto!

I miss you guys..

Japanese people rapping in English , purely godly . Thank you for remember a legend while making yourself one.

japanese hip hop is one of the best hip hop in the world and shing02 you are a very amazing artist. your music gives me hope hip hop today is not only stupid pimp rap and good hip hop still exists, not in the USA or Europe but in japan. please keep it up for a long time. nice greetings from germany :)

what did we do to deserve this I feel blessed

I promise, life just makes more sense to the beats of Hydeout and company... perfection

今聴いても最高にカッコいい

I don't have a words for this music. This a music is piece of the heaven. Thanks for made this pure gold.

I need to watch Champloo again... Nujabes was my inspiration for a lot of my music

loved this song and first time watching the video. the jolly connections between the musicians are magical!

🤍I always come back this, and thankful for finding nujabes at a time when I really felt like I needed his music along with the other songs. Hikari, Reflection Eternal, Counting Stars, etc … 💫🤍

Shin02 perdón por escribirte en español pero no domino mucho el ingles, quería decirte que conocí la música de Jun Se cuando este ya había muerto, pero lo que nos dejó lleno mi alma como no tienes idea, sufrí mucho al saber que ya no oiría nuevas canciones o mezclas de él, pero cuando a mi llegó está canción la amé, sentí tanto en Uyama como en ti la fuerza, el alma, continua haciendo música y nunca pares, sigan llenando almas y mentes con está gran fuerza. Si algún día vienes a Perú en Sud América, ten por seguro que ahí estaré. Un abrazo

This is a legendary song

That last verse is probably the most touching verse I've ever heard in my life!

Still listening this in 2021

OMG It makes such a big difference when you actually get to see some of your favorite artists, jamming and doing what they do best together! I am a big fan of Uyama's A Son of a Sun album and would try to imagine how he looks based off of his melodies... He looks as easy going and kindhearted, yet driven with a passion of music! Awesome collaboration, this is!!

Watching this and listening all the way through without blinking really made me smile. I'm just currently to dehydrated to cry.

So that's what Shing02 looks like.
