I have already introduced Nujabes a.k.a. Jun Seba in my first post. To summarize, Nujabes is the most influential Hip Hop producer in Japan and in Asia. His talent and fame could not contain in Japan and has surfaced even internationally to France, the United States, Korea, and Germany. His sound has influenced and touched many including Uyama Hiroto, Nomak, Talib Kweli, DJ Deckstream, Dela, Pase Rock and many others. However, in February 26, 2010, Nujabes died of a car accident which shocked the world. This album is made to dedicate to Nujabes. It contains tracks that Nujabes was working in progress before he passed away. The sound is still very much Nujabes influenced. It contains a lot of mellow horn and piano with fat and subtle Hip Hop beats. A lot of influential underground artists came together to produce this album. One new element that is introduced in this album is the sound of Japanese folk music. Homeward Journey, Reflection Eternal and Faure all presents elements of classical Japanese folk music. However the mix between Hip Hop and Japanese folk music is very soothing and nice. Please take a listen I hope you will like it.
