I recently became very interested in the late Japanese artist Nujabes. He recently passed away, but his music seems to have just entered my life. I really like the fact that his tracks are not necessarily traditional songs with verses and lyrics, but they are combinations of words, beats, and melody that work together to intricately pull on my heartstrings. Interestingly, I first heard his beats while watching a Korean hiphop/bboy(?) member (Wassup from Prepix) dance to his song “Still Talking to You”.'

Although I admire the smooth dancing very much and could watch forever, the music was so chill that I searched for more information on the beatmaker. Recently, I found that Nujabes also made the soundtrack for the anime “Samurai Champloo” which I recently started getting into over the summer (entire season 1 free on YouTube!). I don’t know if I have a definite favorite yet because all of them sound so good, but I tend to lean toward the tracks with a nice beat combined with a bit of jazzy piano and a subtle voice integrated. Right now, I'm listening the most to "Aruarian Dance" and "Still Talking to You". I’m still searching, so if any of you guys like Nujabes already or think you’ll like his music, tell me your favorites! (Right now, I’m listening to "Kumomi")

I listened to Kumomi, it's cool and really relaxing. It reminds me a lot of the music in a game called Trauma Center.
ReplyDeleteHmm... パークさん, you should also try listening to songs by DJ Deckstream. They're usually not instrumental, but they all have the same sort of jazzy lounge feel to them. I can lend you the CDs if you'd like. Also, Trauma Center's music was composed by 目黒将司 (Shoji Meguro). His work in the Persona series, especially, was very similar. Here's some of Deckstream's music, if you're interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2izd-HM6mo&hd=1
ReplyDeleteAhh I know I'm posting very late but I thought that Nujabes was a great composer. I like the song Luv [Sic], with Shing02 as the rapper. The title is quite creative I think lol.
