Shingo Annen

Better known as Shing02, this artist has been another close friend of Nujabes. A lot of people got to know Nujabes thanks to the Samurai Champloo anime, and the opening track of the anime was made by a collaboration of the two artists, the song's name is Battlecry, and it is probably one of the most famous tracks of Nujabes.

I could not start talking about the artists that follow Nujabes footsteps without initiating with him. His music is mostly Jazz and Jazz influenced Hip Hop.
You recognize him instantly as soon as you hear his soprano sax playing, like in this track:

Eternal Soul Documentary

Before starting with the real posting, I wanted to put this here:

This is the documentary about Nujabes' death. In this video you'll find interviews with the artists that were really close to him: Shingo Annen, Substantial, Apani B, Cise Star, Funky DL, Fat Jon, Uyama Hiroto, Pase Rock, etcetera and parts of the big event that was made to remember him.

Following his footsteps...

First of all, I would like to say welcome to all of you who, like me, have been so lucky to have experienced how much music can touch you literally on a soul level. You all know to who I am referring to, the name's Jun Seba, known as Nujabes.

I am making this blog because this man simply changed my life, just with his music he has been able to make me a better person by helping me in so many ways. He helped me when I felt down, he inspired me and made me pick up a musical instrument, he enlightened me and made me realize how profound and meaningful can messages be without the need of a single word.
