Nujabes, originally known as Jun Seba ( February 7, 1974–February 26, 2010), was born in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. He was a world-famous Japanese hip hop producer and DJ who recorded under the name Nujabes. Now this name is actually an anagram of his name, being the reverse spelling of Seba Jun. He was the owner of the Shibuya record stores, T Records and founder of the independent label Hydeout Productions. His style mixes hip hop, rap and jazz samples. Nujabes collaborated with other Japanese artists such as Uyama Hiroto, Shing02 , Minmi. In his career he released five studio albums (one of his most recognizable works is that of the background music for Samurai Champloo):
Nujabes原名Jun Seba瀬场润(1974.2.7-2010.2.26),出生于日本东京都中央港区。他是世界著名的如本hip hop音乐人与DJ,他制作音乐时使用Nujabes这个名字,这个名字其实是他真名Seba Jun用相反字母顺序拼成的。它不仅是独立音乐人,还是涩谷唱片行,T-Records的老板,著名厂牌Hydeout Productions创始人。他的音乐听过的朋友就知道,是一种混合了hip hop,rap饶舌,还有Jazz采样的一种音乐形式。它跟日本其他非常著名的DJ与音乐人有过很多合作,平时有听hiphop音乐的朋友可能马上就能想起来这些人名了:Uyama Hiroto, Shing02 , Minmi等等. Nujabes生前一共发行了五张唱片(其中包括他成名的那张动漫《混沌骑士》的原声OST唱片):
Metaphorical Music in 2003,
Samurai Champloo Music Record: Departure in 2004
Samurai Champloo Music Record: Impression in 2004
Modal Soul in 2005
Spiritual State (这张专辑他去世时并未完成,而是在一年后的2011年有他的公司Hydeout Productions发布).
Nujabes used to be a record shop employee, then he started his DJ career later in 1998. In 2003 he released the album ''Metaphorical Music'' which is later considered the milestone in his DJ career. He was best known for his approach to hip hop beats, often blending jazz influences into his songs creating a mellow, nostalgic and atmospheric sound. I believe you’re gonna fall in love with this guy regardless if you are familiar with jazz hip hop music.
Nujabes开始只是个唱片行的店员,1998年开始自己做DJ。2003年他发行了那张后来为他奠定坚固基础的<Metaphorical Music>专辑。他的音乐有个很大的特点,就是那种特别的融合了hiphop节奏与爵士乐器的处理方式,营造出一种柔和醇厚,怀旧朦胧的氛围。相信就算没有接触过hiphop的朋友也会在第一次听的时候就喜欢上他的音乐。
Nujabes collaborated with Shing02 on the critically acclaimed "Luv(sic)" series. They made parts 1-3 together, parts 4 and 5 were released shortly after Nujabes' death. Although part 6 was not among the previously completed tracks, it was released on February 26, 2013, exactly 3 years after the day Seba died. And here is the dramatic part, according to Shing02's official Facebook page, the instrumental to what would eventually be part 6 was discovered on Nujabes' cell phone a few weeks after his death. Now would you call it a coincidence, or destiny?
他另外一个非常出名饱受追捧的作品就是跟Shing02合作的《Luv(sic)》系列啦。这个系列一共有6个部分,part1到3是他们两人一起完成,4跟5是Nujabes去世后不久发行。尽管part6之前一直没有完成,不过还是在2013年2月26日那天发行了,这天正好是Nujabes去世整整三年。完成part6的过程里还有个故事,Shing02在自己的官方脸书里表示,part6里的伴奏部分其实是在NuJabes去世几周后他手机里找到的.part6作为这个系列的完结篇,你觉得这是个巧合还是命运石使然呢?
On February 26, 2010, Nujabes was involved in a traffic accident on the expressway late at night. He was pronounced dead at a hospital in Shibuya Ward after efforts to revive him failed. He was only 36. R.I.P
2010年3月26日深夜,Nujabes在东京附近的快速路上遭遇了严重车祸,在送往涩谷医院后不久就因抢救无效去世,年仅36岁。逝者安息!
