"On February 26, 2010, Nujabes (new-jah-bes), 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' death was only publicly confirmed by Hydeout Productions and by his friend and collaborator, Shing02, March 18, 2010. He was buried by his family in a private ceremony. ... 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." - NowPublic.com ... "Through his soulful music, Nujabes has touched so many people around the world, even beyond his dreams. He was a mysterious character to most as he avoided the public limelight, rarely conducted interviews, so only a few got to know the man behind the signature production. Yet it continued to amaze me how young listeners of all backgrounds learned of his enigmatic name, and expressed support for his music." - News.Gather.com ... He was such an Inspiration. This is for him. Rest in Peace, Nujabes (February 7, 1974 -- February 26, 2010) |
