Nujabes is a japanese producer if I've got things right. It's hip hop, I guess. Somehow there's something bocish about him, maybe or maybe not musically, I don't know. I like his instrumental music the most, tracks like "kumomi" and "voices of autumn."
I'm just trying to spread the love here. A search for "nujabes" on the forums didn't give any hits and I thought boc-people might like it.
Nujabes (born Jun Seba), a Japanese hip-hop producer, was killed in a car accident in Tokyo. Nujabes crashed when leaving the Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo's Minato Ward.
Nujabes was 36 years old when he died. The car crash that killed Nujabes took place on February 26, 2010, the same day a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan. Nujabes' death was only publicly confirmed by Hydeout Productions and by his friend and collaborator, Shing02, today; he was buried by his family in a private ceremony.
Nujabes: Producer and Scenemaker
Nujabes was the founder of Hydeout Productions, as well as the owner of two Tokyo record stores, Guinness Records and T Records. Nujabes (who came by his artistic name by spelling his real name backwards) also contributed music to the anime Samurai Champloo, an anachronistic tale mixing samurai lore and modern hip-hop culture.

Nujabes was a private person, and so many, even those who worked closely with him, did not know he had died. The common Internet death rumors did not make it to the English-speaking web, and this is a rare case in which an artist's actual death notice preceded the rumors.
Yeah I heard that he had died recently. He made some great music.
I first found out about him from watching the Samurai Champloo series, where he and another awesome producer Fat Jon made the entire sound track. All Instrumental Hip-Hop with such a mellow vibe.
Yes! Fellow Nujabes fans... I adore his music. You can tell from listening to his music that he was a wonderful person - at least, that's the impression I get.
His posthumous album is good, but no tracks really stand out to me except for "Sky Is Tumbling." That song is awesome.
