There are two kinds of people:- 1)Those who love Nujabes. 2)Those who don't know about him.

till death do us part, and it did. fuck dude..

We all miss Nujabes, but Shing02 is still around and we're not really giving him his due respect. His lyrics and Nujabes beats elevated each other.

@megadot said it best: "The first song is discovery. The second song is falling in love. The third is about taking all the bullshit out and live simple. The fourth song is about growing old together. The fifth is about loss and the hopefulness associated with it... And the final song is about meeting once again, in the afterlife. This is what life should be. Everyone is always yearning for love, luv sic. And here's hoping everyone gets theirs before the end."

Nujabes isn't dead. You just need to click play.

I discovered Nujabes in February. I'm Chilean and my family has this tradition where after you turn 15 everyone chips in to gift you a trip outside Chile with one of your respective parent (usually daughters with mothers and sons with fathers). Long story short my dad couldn't leave the country and though we weren't struggling financially, we were going through a low point at the time (now we're a lot better). So I didn't get the trip (I'm the youngest of 5 siblings so I was pretty bummed). Years passed and my dad kept going on about how he wanted to take me to San Francisco because that's where he and my mom went shortly after meeting and really fell in love, so in turn he loves the city. I turn 19 and to my surprise my gift is a trip along the west coast of the US! I could go on about the whole thing, but there was this one moment that will always stick with me. We were at Golden Gate Park (me and my dad) and this beautiful sunny day turns to the most heavy rain in the world. Seeking refuge we got into the first café we could find, just outside on of the entrances of the park. Once inside we order two BLTs (we were starving) and sit with our drinks. As I watch outside the window how it rained in the city, "Luv(sic) Part 2" kicks in, and my dad starts telling me how the whole experience this far (we were kinda at the end of the trip) was one of the best things in his life, because he did it with me. So we kept on talking, ended up having a very chill but emotional conversation while the rest of the record was playing. As we left, I ask the girl in the counter what was playing and she sends a link to the songs, songs that I have been playing non stop since I got back home.

Luv Sic Part 1 - He is dreaming of love Luv Sic Part 2 - He lives among love, but not with it Luv Sic Part 3 - He actively seeks love Luv Sic Part 4 - He experiences love Luv Sic Part 5 - He loses love Luv Sic Part 6 - He is stronger for having known love

I met this lovely guy online 2 years ago because we somehow had Nujabes as our common interest. He’s French and I’m Japanese but we both know a little English. Mainly we bonded over Nujabes, especially the Luvsic Hexalogy. When we first met, we were just listening to his songs while trying our best to communicate. It was hard but we had fun. We both learn more English and talked better. He asked me to be his girlfriend and been together ever since. It’s a LDR right now but we’re both looking forward to see each other again.

I cannot describe the level of sadness you feel when you're just getting into someone's music and then discover that they're not here anymore.

10 years today you passed But you're still with me everyday Thank you Seba Jun Rest in peace Nujabes

I went to Japan last year and listening to Luv Sic pt2 while walking around Tokyo was one of the greatest feelings ever.

Homeless in my car, this always makes me feel better and feel hope. ❤

People sleeping on Shing02 Lyrics so hard.

I love all of you, I love me, I love

“the devil in me saw the god in you” I love that line so much, explains so much and it is so flexible to interpretation.

A man dies when he gets forgoten - Dr. Hiluluk from One Piece Nujabes isn't dead!

Every time when I feel my life is in chaos or my thoughts run wild in a negative way and the future seems so uncertain that it brings me down. I take a breather and just put on jams like this to help me through these tough times. Music soothes the soul. Peace and love everyone. Loving these comments!

I'm sad because i discovered Nujabes after his death. His music is so beautiful

This is THE album I listen to at the start of every year. RIP Nujabes and now, MF DOOM.

Luv(sic) Pt.1 - 0:00 ~ 4:53 Luv(sic) Pt.2 - 4:54 ~ 9:23 Luv(sic) Pt.3 - 9:24 ~ 14:36 Luv(sic) Pt.4 - 14:37 ~ 19:42 Luv(sic) Pt.5 - 19:43 ~ 24:55 Luv(sic) Pt.6 - 24:56 ~ 30:12 Rest in peace, Nujabes.

Nujabes had the ability to bring so many people together and create KZfaq comment sections that have virtually no hostility. Now that's something special.

My 18yr old son introduced Nujabes to me, I think this is the most beautiful music I ever heard. RIP Nujabes

8 years ago I was heart broken, living in a spare room I rented from an old Vietnam vet, eating only once a day when I had the money, going to school and working full time and trying to be in my sons life as much as I could, No days off what so ever for 1 year. I would get to my room and play this every night. This video and Nujabes kept me sane through my long days and nights. Thank you.

I remember how I was hitchhiking in Japan, and a middle-aged woman stopped and picked me up. While in her car, she was playing this and I remembered it was such soulful music. After we had exchanged pleasantries it was so soothing just crusing through the Japanese countryside with this in the background. After the journey, she dropped me to a train station and gave me 10000 yen. I'll never forget that.

It all started with Samurai Champloo and I don't regret the crazy amount of time I spend just listening to Nujabes and Shing02!

I was in 5th grade when my mom bought me the first season of Samurai Champloo on DVD. It came with a Nujabes music sampler, and it changed everything I knew about music at that young age. Now, I'm 20 years old, and his sound brings about this gentle and euphoric nostalgia that i can't even explain. I wake up every day thankful for the time that this man spent on earth, and his ability to create some of the most beautiful soundscapes I have ever heard. Luv(sic) makes me laugh and cry every time I listen to it.

I wonder if Shing02 would get as much love from you guys. Like Nujabes was a master of his craft and deserves all the praise as well obviously but what keeps me coming back to these tracks are Shing02's beautiful lyrics more than anything. He is an amazing poet and is really great at painting the image which touches your heart. All the emotions I feel ranging from uplifting and carefree in first three parts to the lamenting ones in the last parts is due to how real and beautiful Shing02's lyrics are.

I came across pt.4 in a point in my life where i felt really hopeless, i was a senior in high school having to repeat all my math classes (i know tragic). while everyone was relaxing and getting ready for graduation i was showing up earlier and leaving later. Just when everything seemed lost i found out about Nujabes and his music along with Shing02 turned everything around for me. While everything was telling me to give up, only in music i found the words of encouragement and inspiration that i so desperately needed. By a miracle i made it, didn't go to prom or graduation but i left high school behind in 2017. The last time i rode the school bus home i played pt.4 on repeat all the way home it truly felt like a scene out of a movie. Here i am even in 2022 still going back to the music that push started the rest of my life forever grateful.

Part 3 is the best

All of this man's art is being deleted. Most of the youtube videos are copyright claimed, and his soundcloud is gone. Good to see this is still here.

I’ve cried so many times just looking through the comments while listening to this and I just gotta say, you are all good people.

11 years ago a schoolmate told me about Nujabes, who sadly passed away just a few months earlier... Luv(sic) was his first song I listened to and I fell in love immediately. I remember feeling incredibly sad that I wouldn't be able to hear new releases of Nujabes, but over the years I discovered so many more songs, remixes, pieces inspired by his work and I realized his legacy will never die! The same schoolmate also told me about MF DOOM, who tragically passed away recently as well.... May those legends live forever through their music!

Love the description. "All audio is copyright Hydeout Productions 2000-2013 and is uploaded under fair use for purposes of bringing Nujabes back to life for half an hour. Enjoy, ladies and gentlemen."

BTW LYRICS: -part 1 [Verse 1: Shing02] Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity Developing this new theory of relativity Connecting our souls resting in captivity Positive life sacrifice what it is to me Our history, only a quarter of a century Reality, sitting on the shoulders of our chemistry See ain't no mystery, the colors that we mix will set the mind free Let the blind see beyond harmony! Breathe life into dead space blow away clouds of doubt New territory we determine to be Everything a safe haven it's supposed to be Now it might seem distant but the time is near When our thoughts take off and split the atmosphere Pure sound wave travel semi-infinitely Plus I'll see you there utmost definitely [Hook] Cause the beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently [Verse 2: Shing02] Good gracious, every process has a genesis and ends with a revelation God bless this opportunity for me to find a voice For some words that have waited for way too long Low wages, Small tips on the avenue Never wasted, all hits for a revenue Haven't you heard the news lately? Seems we've been living for some time in a purgatory But yo, I thought I knew what a love song sound like But I felt a warmer tune in the sunlight I could still hear it in my room past midnight Gotta move, take a solo cruise in the moon light Sometimes I do forget, Oh how much we could ease the lives we lead If we learn to let go, the reins that we hold Return to our souls, and the spirit let flow So you see, upon everyday faced there's a million shades to Express definition of grace But the method I choose my prerogative There's so much love in me I got to give [Hook] [Verse 3: Shing02] Oh how I could write a book on how you make me feel But how about this song that I wrote for you? What I feel like...I wanna put my trusts in these simple words For you to feel what I'm saying, what you feel like? Reminisce about the little episodes that we shared together Remember the time that you told me In the cold night, to relax when all I knew was to hold tight Remember the time that I spoke to the crowd in a full house and Realizes that you was my ace? I was the joker on the stage singing the blues All eyes on me and had nothing to prove But yo, I thought I knew what a diamond shine like But I felt a sharper love in the limelight From the queen of hearts watching me quietly from the upper deck balcony Sometimes I do suspect, I'm an actor in a well-scripted live divine comedy When I look back, that frozen slice of time and try to defrost the senses lost Now enough with the metaphors, the motivation that I wrote this letter for For you to know that the music helps carry on Like you say a new day will bring us tomorrow... [Hook: x2] Cause my beat plus your melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus my melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently / / / / / -part 2 [Verse 1: Shing02] Once again, now where do I start, dear love Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here Every morn' I awake from a cavernous night Sometimes still pondering the previous plight Seems life done changed long time no speak Nowadays I often forget the day of the week Taking it by stride if you know what I mean No harm done, no offense taken by me So let's rap, we'll catch up to par, what's the haps? Perhaps we're even closer Now after, all things considered on this side of the planet Couldn't pick a better time even if we planned it To come clean and candid if I have to Oh what I wouldn't trade for your laughter Sweet and sour spice in my poetry pot melting Even better than the real thing It's like the God in me saw the devil in you I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you Who would have thought, conversate by the river, celebrate birth Sit and delivered the lines that would prove to be the seeds of trust Unsigned, yeah but destined to grow with sunshine Self-assigned task piled on the desk of good works Knowing hardship appreciate the best of both worlds Chorus C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E evidently, see every song has a sequel Never same, everything but the name, all fresh just like back then, how we do everyday C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E eloquently, see every dream has a part two Never same, you got to keep it tight, always just like back then, now hear me out [Verse 2: Shing02] Once together, now where do we go, dear divine I pray that you keep watching over us From the heavens where light is the nucleus To this space filled with darkness and negative matter Anti-gravity pull is what I would rather, feel when I leave this shell eventually Ties to the mother earth ground me mentally Real vibes will keep me alive spiritually Imagination brings bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss Victory comes in small packages like a leaf of an olive tree brought back by a dove From above, then I'm gonna rhyme love Well you saw that one coming ever since the beginning of the end Well anyways, I am not a perfect being, yes I am, a man full of S-I-N It's like the devil in me saw the God in you You epitomize the etymology of enthusiasm Look it, up there lies the clouds that form the rain That came from the ocean that flowed from the river I'm a believer, firm with the first words, lyrical transceiver of our ancient roots Science plus Arts multiplied by Faith then divided by the number of our ethnic race Let me mention what I've been thinking How to save the children, when the ship is sinking So I'm singing, no lip syncing to slogans Political hooligans with tanks, missiles and guns Everything is relative when it's all in the family of man Understand the time has finally come to realize the great power of one All formulas equalize under the Sun, amen [Bridge] The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Your vibe surely brings out the best in me The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe All good souls lost may they rest in peace [Bridge] The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Your vibe surely brings out the best in me The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Hip-hop world wide we got to live in peace, like that / / / / / -part 3 [Hook: Shing02 (x2)] It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are [Verse 1: Shing02] Like a movie that you can't predict Like a book that you can't resist I sing along a song that's oh so sensual Bring along a sip to make it all so sexual Verbally that is, making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night With the whole city fast asleep, out cold True words seem to rise to the lips, take hold Of a poet in me, most powerfully I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing Trying to find a reason to work, god willing I admit, my thinking is wishful Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling How far do we have to stretch the truth To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue? We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite Throw on your favorite reel that's good to go On the analog player watch the people glow Sit back to the breeze let the memories flow Comedy tragedy all the highs and lows [Hook] [Verse 2: Shing02] Like your moves that I can't predict Like your look that I can't resist The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual The lingering appeal was so unusual Herbally what is, medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some With the whole body fast asleep, out cold True vision seem to come to the eye, take hold Of a prophet in me most visibly I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing Trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing I admit, our dealing is painful Like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling How far do we have to stretch the picture Before pixelating the human texture? We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's save it all up for an ultimate prize Homecoming gathering with a big surprise Throw on your favorite record that's good to go On the analog table and it's hooked to blow Sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow Hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows [Hook] [Verse 3: Shing02] Um, third time's the charm, hopefully When I chime on your door you'd still let me in After all these years The room that you caved in my heart is exactly the same as you left it I realize that you have moved on New styles and cliques like them silent flicks I'm speechless in this golden occasion The beautiful expression on the silver creation This time I'd like to keep in touch I'm a little bit wiser, a whole lot tougher If I suffer through another nightmare tonight We'll chalk it up as another chapter to write, all right? Or wrong or somewhere down the middle of the road I wanna see you again in a scene with the backdrop a perfect ten And the music can take us back to the spot right then From black and white to a sepia tone Some dreams come with a tint or in monochrome From black and white to my skin tone Some dreams have a stint on the microphone [Hook] [Verse 4: Shing02] Okay we can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite Throw on your favorite jacket and you're good to roll On the analog trail and you look the role Just stroll through the trees and let your miseries go Sunshine hurricane all the highs and lows We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite / / / / / -part 4 [Hook] Snow flakes in January Heart warm like February I wouldn't ordinarily March to the drum, play a fool like April May the best dance in a Juno bridal Power of the will, Julius and Augustus Aw you know, it's just us In a new semester, back in September Boy, I wonder if you still remember [Verse 1: shing02] Meet me half way from mars to venus Beep beep, the chase is on between us Retweet the sweetest piece of confection Hand made device for remote connection Ask a question Wait for an answer and make a suggestion A time and a place for a first impression Second and third to a fourth dimension Rise above the weights that hold us captive To a square, swear that I, I the captain to Cruise in sci-fi, red sky burn like sapphire A moth to a fire, but we can fly higher Till we reach an apex We fit tight like a glove with the latex Bring it down to earth for a cooling session Laying sideways and glazed in essence Gazed each other in the eye to find galaxies of Uncharted nebulas Heard joy over spilled milk on a quilt, of lavender Woven in the fabric of our calendar Dress up at the end of October Give thanks to the fam in November A cold but cozy December And we're back to the origin, so let me begin [Hook] [Verse 2: shing02] When you took my hand, I couldn't hide it Way too delighted Tried to ride it cool but obliged to write it Wouldn't fight it, how my watch paused When I put my lips on your eyelids The lost second, deposit in a memory bank Every chance I pocketed a cent A blank check with ya signature Font sans serif, the curvature, a lone harbinger With toys play coy like fish in a pond Fond words serve poems like dish Life is short like a doggone leash Or a fuse in an open circuitry That got struck by lightning Hang a painting on the wall over the writing Brighten up the room for a private dining Increase the peace and cease the anxiety Spread love and cc: the whole society You got me shooting off on a tangent Like I always do when I'm on the fringe And the tally of the letters will reach The valley where the wings will seek A series so classic at the top of October Give thanks to the fam in November A cold but cozy December And we're back to the origin, so let me begin [Hook] / / / / / -part 5 Till death do us apart, and it did Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines In your last breath you told me, that you had to go Cause it pained you so Oh I loved you so much so Was I selfish to hold on And cling on to your body that hosts a soul That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage And you became eagerly what I wanted to be You the person to leave, I the person To see off another best friend to land's end I watched grown men moan, and women weep As you quietly descended six feet deep But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes A gift from god, returned to sender Though I like to pretend that this never happened I can turn around and see you laughing But the fact is you could never practice Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield Endless field of shards of glass This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes And then a mountain of prayers unheard 'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed Or alone on the road with nobody to hold When the pouring rain is too much to bear It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care Till death do us apart and it did Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Now I hit this stage in honor of you How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view No more stress for rent, or to make ends Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy I can hide behind lens that block the UV Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky The toll for the bridge is rising Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off On the runway, scoping out the window The moisture covers the sight though Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist Trying to paint a dream you woke from Chasing the departed We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest What I thought was a stream is now an ocean No such thing as an extreme to show devotion To your craft, which I didn't know the half Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft And a whiplash, all in reverse Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up Well I second that and I reckon that you tried So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth And the first flight out of town, into the mist Till death do us apart and it did Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries Or a random hand picks it instantly Life is art, a miracle for all to see I must tell you that you lived beautifully / / / / / -part 6 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 point 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 (how I remember 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 (you could be my guest) Happiness is a hot potato that you can’t possess for long Just pass it on like asong 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 (a modern-day 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 / / / / / Credits: genius.com

5 years ago I listened to this a couple times a day, often while daydreaming about a girl I liked. We talked here and there but nothing major. Maybe a year and a half later I finally got the courage to ask her out. I was surprised when she said yes, and we ended up meeting at a nearby park to walk and talk. I brought my guitar and sang a couple songs, which she really enjoyed. We hit it off from there, basically talking almost everyday. Yesterday she ended the relationship. Wasn't an argument or anything, but she felt it would be best for both of us long term if we went our separate ways. We talked it through in person and both agreed to block the other's phone so as not to try and go back on the decision when inevitably feeling low. Probably the most positive and healthy way to close the chapter. Damn if it doesn't hurt though. My mind keeps going back to all the awesome moments we shared together and all the tough times she helped me through. I feel empty knowing I won't ever see her again. It's hard for me to eat, sleep, even breathe. Coming back to this mix years later I can really appreciate parts 5 and 6 more than ever. I don't know how long it'll take to get through this slump but at least with friends and good music I can make it through today.

Part 3 will always be my favorite, but the combination of 4, 5, and 6 evokes emotions no other album can

Listening to this at 3 am is so fucking good. Listening to this anytime is actually pretty fucking good.

Having some issues with my life. Barely able to go on, almost gave up. I remembered this mix of all 6 parts. Instantly found an empty room in the dark, put headphones in, and rejoiced. This music can save lives...

I don't understand why this collection of songs make me cry everytime. Someone special put Nujabe's music into my life and ever since, they cannot leave my headspace. So beautiful, and I'm so grateful I have the ability to listen to them on repeat. I tear up at part 4, it's so meaningful.

I always believe that Nujabes worked with more "talented" rappers with sicker flows etc. But for me shing02 will always be the BEST rapper he's worked with because of his pen. I find his lyrics more relatable and some even stuck by me till this day. Truly a match made in heaven.

This can save someone's life.

I'm so grateful to be a part of the Nujabes fanbase. Love you all!

Gotta relisten to this every so often. All because I watched Samurai Champloo, I discovered Nujabes. He's since became one of my favorite artists. Him and Shing02 have made this one of the best series of tracks in all of musical history. Hope future generations can listen to this masterpiece for years to come.

hidden gem, pretty sad that hes not being appreciated enough, Rest in beats nujabes

read a comment that almost made me cry - "nujabes rest in beats" ToT

There are so many comments about Nujabes. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Nujabes, but I come to this particular song cycle for Shing02's lyrics. There is just something about the realness of his raps- so artful and poetic. I really think that Nujabes and Shing02 were a musical match made in Heaven. Some argue that Shing02 wasn't a good enough rapper for this series, but I disagree. I really think that he felt the atmosphere Nujabes created and made it even better. Love it!

2014 the year i found his music 2021 Still in love with it 2022 Lets go!

これがアートなんですね。 音楽を聴いてこんなに芸術的だなと感じさせられたのは初めてでした。 気付いたら曲の情景を想像しようとしてしまう。 声も最高ですが滑舌と耳触りのめちゃくちゃ良いラップ。 綺麗で繊細で奥行きがあってどこか少し不安にさせる危うげのあるビート。 初めて聞きましたが、感動しました。

My best friend had recently left this world. He died fulfilling his duties as an serviceman in the airforce. The last time I saw him was at his wedding six months ago; he left a young widow behind. When I heard the news that he was dying from an accident Nujables helped me get through one of the toughest periods of my life.

The transition from pt 2 to pt 3 is amazing

The transitions are insanely good I love them

happy birthday Nujabes. you would've been 47 today. thanks for everything.

This song always reminds me of an old friend of mine. He killed himself more than 2 years ago now and it blows my mind. When I listen to this though, I remember him in a different light. Chilling on his balcony, smoking cigarettes, he was always into rap and I would tell him "can you play that jazzy one again?" :) Maybe him and Nujabes are chilling together now.

"The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music" tear up every time I hear it

My late friend turned me on to Nujabes back in 2008. Everytime I hear Nujabes I know I carry his spirit with me. Miss you Clyde.

"Til Death do us part, and it did." RIP Nujabes.

Saw Shing02 in DC a couple nights ago and he did the whole Luv(sic) and stayed and chatted with everyone after -- it was great! He's awesome!

No love for part 2? It's my favorite

11 years ago today. RIP. Thanks for everything

It's crazy to look back at the boy listening to this 5 years ago and then sitting here as the man I am today 5 years later. The lyrics definitely hit different now but still beautiful nonetheless. We are all people we are all alive we are. That's what it means to live, we just are. RIP Jeff, I love you man. Every day just isnt the same without you. We will listen to this when I see you again one day.

Part 3 i tell you. The first Nujabes and Shing02 song i heard had that on repeat nearly a year. It touches the soul a different way, big big tune

As a depressed person this makes me feel really peaceful, like everything's going to be alright and things aren't that bad after all. Even if most of these songs are melancholic, it's a hopeful sadness in a way. What separates Nujabes for me from other artists is that an artist's work makes you feel happy, sad, inspirational etc. but I hardly got that specific ONE feeling I always get with Nujabes, it's hard to capture into words. And it hurts to know that he had to go that early, even though we only know him through his music, he's like a 'imaginary, fictional' person in my life, but still the deep connection to him is there, I sometimes wonder how he was as a person...I don't even know what my point is, I just need to get my thoughts down as I listen to this.

Knowing that Jun died and the grand finale was thought to be incomplete, that applause at the end hits different

When i was a kid, i saw samurai champloo as something beyond my understanding with music beyond my understanding. I saw the anime for a second time a few days ago and i can say that i felt what i had to feel. It was amazing, i needed to listen more from this artist knowing that i'll can't help but get obsessed with his music. Today i found out he's been dead for almost 12 years. So this is how it feels a broken heart.

still rockin this song in 2015! got my rest in beats nujabes t shirt... life is good :D

Don't mind me, just here for my daily listen

Hey internet, I just wanna say have a good day. Maybe weird coming from a stranger, but I just genuinely hope we live a happy life. Peace Sorry I just easily get emotional and tears whenever I'm listening to Nujabes.

酒飲んで聴くとすごく気持ちがいい

Does anyone else feel like crying when they hear this music?

Nobody knows why I stay up so late at night until daylight and I don't think I'm the only one that does this but I play this late at night 6:50 ish just to have this blasting in my headphones with my curtains opens as the sky brightens up. I love that feeling.

It's so hard reading Nujabes comments without getting choked up. There's at least once a year when I go through major Nujabes phases, and it's always comforting seeing how it's not just me impacted by his music. Such good vibes.

Why is nobody pointing out Shing02's poetic lyrics... shits just damn fire *Imagination gives bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss* *I thought I knew what a diamond shine like, but I felt a sharper love in the limelight* *Its like the god in me saw the devil in you, I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you* Damn... and so many more

Today’s my birthday and I somehow got forgotten by everyone. I almost cried realizing how shit my life is and how the past year was terrible. It is pretty funny that I find this video randomly. It almost feels like it’s a birthday gift and a pretty amazing one. It’s not just something that is good to listen, it helps me feeling so much better, so much lighter and really makes my vision of life a little less dire and sad. Thank you so much Nujabes, your arts will hopefully give me the strength to break the barriers that my fears have built with time and makes me enjoy life like I really want to. And big thumbs up to this community, just reading the comments show how amazing everyone is.

These are the kind of songs that you might never have listen to before but when you hear them you feel like you have known them since ever.

Shing02 did such a spectacular job creating catchy lyrics with Nujabes clean rhythm and tune. Its so good, its almost like they made the songs together....

The seamless transitions are just the icing on the cake.

I actually like every piece of Nujabes' music. That's a very rare feature for an artist.

This.... is literally life in a song. Long lived.

“Luv(sic)” is a six part song about love, life, and eventually death. The sixth and final part was released posthumously after samples were found on Nujabes' phone

I may not know any of you guys, but I love yall. The Nujabes community is one of the best communities on YT that I know of! Bless up and for those struggling with life, don't give up! Your time to shine will come soon as long as you keep pushing forward!

"Happiness is a hot potato you can't possess" this dude was brimming with wisdom.

I've been working 18 hours a day 7 days a week for the last 20 years. This is on heavy rotation ❤

Funny how music puts time into perspective. This is so true, because when I listen to this album, I think back to when I was 17, walking my dog around the neighborhood while playing this in my headphones.

I always listen to this when I'm feeling Luv Sic

comment section is dope, peace everyone

I discovered this music in January, I've been battling depression for quite some time. These songs just make me feel so warm and loved I can't really explain it. I walked through my city in afternoons when the sun would start to set and listened to this music. Thinking back on these nice memories just walking around makes me wanna cry because I felt so happy back then. It makes me wanna cry of happiness in a good way. Thank you so much for making this music it will have a special place in my heart and mind and I'll remember it till I die.

Man, I'm feeling so down right now. I've only got this music and thoughts about a girl that will never be mine...

I remember search his cemetery in japanese on internet and find exactly where he stay in peace, take my bike and do 21km for listenning luv sic part 4 on his grave in Japan and just go back home. 42km for one music but it was worth

happy birthday. rip

ヒップホップでしょうか❓ おばさん、初めてヒップホップで 心を締め付けられ涙がじんわり・・・

nujabes saved me through my toughest time. his music gave me hope.

While scrolling down looking at the comments, everyone has their own favorites and their own reasons for their favorites. No two comments are alike. His music touches different types of people but bring them all together at the same time.

I remember the times I discovered these 6 songs in, so full of emotion and wonder and friends and shit, unlike nowdays where everything is dull and fucking shitty overall. I wish I could go back in time. Fuck. Music like this is the only thing that can help survive the times. Nujabes lives in my heart forever.

After 32 years. Im still learning about music, both old and new school. Thank goodness for the humanity in KZfaq.

Part 6 is straight outta Heaven.

Part 3 is my fav even tho I find it the saddest.

Must say, this is one of the only KZfaq comment sections that I can read and enjoy. Not to be cheesy but there's a lot of love here. Nujabes is a legend, and brought us a gift of great, passionate, and soulful music. Rest in Absolute Peace, Nujabes. May your craftsmanship last throughout the ages.

我大概在2016年接触nujabes的音乐，在得知他已经去世后我非常难过，谢谢你nujabes，你的歌曲将陪我度过余生。

Luv(sic) Part 6 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 (how I remember 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 (you could 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 (a modern-day 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

shing02 is the perfect rapper for nujabes's beats, minmi is the perfect singer for his beats i just wish there was a collaboration between the three together
