[Yamato145]

This is seething with it.

[Coredeath]

it just makes me so mad to know that the work that we have from him is all we ll ever have! it s not enough!!!

nujabeeeees

[DjGrizzlyWolf]

i just want to learn the guitar but this makes me want to learn all the instruments

[brucelee6790]

@DjGrizzlyWolf the guitar is a sample of jose feliciano's affirmation. there's a live performance of him playing this song on youtube thats pretty sick

[exploremagic23]

What the fuck, every time I discover a good musician he's already dead.

[shadowcrazy]

play this with RainyMood(dot)com ....okay youtube now you can't say I never did anything nice for you.

[taelX123]

[DanielandRene]

Rest in peace

[NostalgicAlien]

Ohh my heart...

[rororicecake]

The stars with the smallest lifespans burn the brightest.

Rest in Beats, Jun Seba, and know that you've inspired a new generation.

[GtrRival]

dont drink and drive u might kill a genius RIP Seba Jun

[GanjaAndBeats]

I make music like this but i need advice on my vids so if somebody has time come to my channel :)

[TheOtherMadHater]

yea yea calm your boner's a changed it

[tylerethanguo]

@TheOtherMadHater samurai champloo...........

[blackpowerfreak]

@TheOtherMadHater Samurai Champloo you mean!

[Elexstehr]

Imagine what it would be like If Nujabes and J. Dilla would've been around to do a collaboration together.

[TheAzrael89]

@Elexstehr our ears aren't made to hear that yet. We'll hear it when we get called Home...

[kindvideo2]

Type in nujabes in pandora radio...

Instant win...

[leeiansd]

3 mil.... plz.

[SasukeKunDesu]

92 people lost count.

[UndergroundStru]

He didn't die. God just wanted to hear him in person.

[Zeuts85]

@UndergroundStru That would make God a bit of a selfish prick then, wouldn't it?

[juiCeman152]

@Zeuts85 no, nujabes has blessed us all with his talent already. his death has caused so much people to appreciate his creations so much more. I LOVE YOU ALL

[Zeuts85]

@juiCeman152 You seem to be neglecting nujabes's own interests. ;)

[juiCeman152]

@Zeuts85 & what is that?

[Zeuts85]

@juiCeman152 Nujabes's own interests? Why, to continue enjoying life and making wonderful music of course. I don't know about you, but I think I'd be a tad pissed off if God decided that I needed to die early just so I could make music for "him."

[costyron]

@Zeuts85 word.

[juiCeman152]

@Zeuts85 and you would know this bcus nujabes told you lol

[Zeuts85]

@juiCeman152 It's a safe bet. I doubt there are many people who would be happy to die in a car accident.

[juiCeman152]

@Zeuts85 your right.. i doubt him or his family would want us to be debating on his life and death anyway.

[ForeverRonery]

Rin

;_;

[DANMTL84]

I just learned he died... :( I'm really sad right now... RIP Nujabes and thanx for those wonderful songs.

[DonSklz123]

The good truly do die young...

[hellokittaaay]

This. Is. BEAUTIFUL. <3

[kqlle]

It´s just that good music.

[freethinker424]

no disrespect to nujabes, but i am asking because i want to support him. dammit! why can't i find any of nujabes' music on itunes?

[TheFox15x]

dude..he died the day of my birthday

[qaz474]

Anyone remember when Jin was trying to break Shino out of the prostitute house. This song played. Aghh <33

[nikch1]

@qaz474 Yeah... I MISS NUJABES MAN, even if I didn't know him personnaly as a friend or as an acquaintance ='(

[qaz474]

@nikch1 I'm sure that's how many of us feel. We lost a great musical genius.

[itsRiggy]

I have a question and please don't look at me like I'm dumb. How do you pronounce Nujabes? He was such an inspiration and I wanted to write an essay on him that I have to present and the LAST thing I want to do is say his name wrong.

I've been saying it like New-Jybez.

[manop98]

@itsRiggy new-juh-bess or new-jah-bess. whatever one is more comfortable for you

[itsRiggy]

@manop98 Thanks.

[AnonAlex]

@itsRiggy its the Japanese name Seba Jun backwards if it helps at all, but like manop said i've always done new-jah-bess

[itsRiggy]

@AnonAlex Thanks.

[ksek09]

I save women in distress with this song.

[manop98]

@ksek09 samurai shamploo??

[rahxephon52]

@ksek09 good move bro.

[Adrabeak]

My headaches is gone because of Nujabes. 

[DanteBrane]

Got this on my ipod and I listen to it everyday...

[RmAFearox]

Nujabes isn't dead. He lives on in us. We, who will carry his music through our life and beyond.

[Bubbamaniac2009]

I wonder if nujabes would've collaborated with j.cole.....ooooooooooooo......­..

[crazya6565]

@Bubbamaniac2009 That'd be awesome. Good Combination.

[midnightxwexkill]

Thumbs up if Samurai Champloo brought you here.

[reggaezaco]

@midnightxwexkill Actually was my girlfriend who brought me here LOL. Best producer ever ;)

[TheViolenceMan]

wow this is great

[newplanet15]

Rest in peace ill never forget nujabes

[BakaYing]

Nujabes stop making me click on the next song of your's, its 3am and im really tired ;)

[krazykristuffer]

Rest In Beats Nujabes

[VenomofReaper97]

I actually do blast this music in my car. Letting the talent be heard wherever I go...

[Dudedudemoney]

@VenomofReaper97 So lucky, I can't wait until I get my car. I always have dreams about driving up on cliffs or something and listening to Nujabes while looking out over all the city lights.

[PureS0u1]

May God forgive the 91 people who disliked it D:.

[dragongod125]

this songs been on repeat in my head ever since it came out

youtube doesnt know how to count number of views

[dragongod125]

its funny how youtube only counts 2.6 mill

when this songs been on repeat in my head ever since it came out

[alt369]

i love how he adds the smooth jazz sample to the hip hop beat. that song brought back memories from my childhood in Dad's Lincoln car.

[ithesunny]

check my channel please

i did a remix of nujabes

[RiptheKidd]

I made a tribute for nujabes, check it out if you want

R.I.P Nujabes

[RiptheKidd]

Nujabes has made me a happier person in such a distressing world..

I appreciate him so much I made a tribute for him, its on my channel

check it out if you want

R.I.P Nujabes..

[CxHxRxIxSxTxIxAxN]

This man truly had an amazing talent. I had been a fan of Nujabes only a couple of years before the day I found out that he had passed away, I was just so shocked and depressed. Along with the passing of Michael Jackson, I feel like his death was just a HUGE loss to the music world. Nujabes songs were the soundtrack to life. Every emotion or thought you can have, he had the perfect song for it. I truly appreciate the contribution he made to the world <3

[Samuri334x4]

Why would 91 people disliking this? Is it because they lost everything in life? I don't think that's true. I don't believe anything, but LIFE isn't "62", LIFE is a gift.

[29zc]

Im that much aware of the existence of 91 tasteless ASSHOLES...

[escalade]

young jeezys shake life sounds similar to this i think he might of sampled this

[KuDeTa101]

Disliking this is like disliking life

[ninjanguyenx3]

George Benson - Affirmation

[thehanz123]

fuck nujabes...

rest in peace man

these sounds of ur emotions are the sounds of all our emotions from back in the days till now

[roxan369]

rest in beats 

[LastArabGamer]

91 people want a download link

[willin20]

91 people were obviously disturbed during their rest.

[YupItsBruno]

i played even awake circle of transmigration and then i played this about ten seconds later and they synced and sounded so legit

[TrueDeva]

Rest in beats.

[leeiansd]

Shit, let's go for 3mil.

[rodmaster7k]

@leeiansd no

[UglyStru]

@leeiansd Why stop there?

[leeiansd]

@UglyStru No, after that we'll continue haha.

[Zeparu]

@leeiansd 350707 views left to go? The amount of times I listen to this song should cover it

[mistaaa61]

amazingly played,,,perfect song for a start of weekend,,,"our weekend starts on Thursdays"

[deathslayer101]

いただきます..

[OnThatPowder]

man i just heard of this fella a minute ago, looked this up///it's nice, my head feels fine

[Hiddenlunchbox]

@OnThatPowder I feel you man, i just checked this man out, and listened to his songs and came here, and not sounding like no pussy, but it brought mad tears to my eyes. Haven't cried in years.. R.I.P. You are a legend Nujabes.

[OnThatPowder]

@Hiddenlunchbox yeah man really, this dudes dope. Very nice stuff

[kepmip86]

Love you Nujabes, keep it jamming up in heaven

[noonethatuno]

all of his music is a good tune to sleep to. just wish that he was still alive. -_-

[DahseOne]

I think that the secret of this music is that it can show off the most beautiful part of us, and that make us happier.

[mokaey]

unfortunately this is just a copy of george benson - affirmation

[ajmonche]

@mokaey he sampled it and it's actually Jose Felicianos song

[mokaey]

@ajmonche my mistake...

but is the sample credited to jose felicianos?

[ajmonche]

@mokaey im not even sure lol i just know that it was jose felicianos originally

[Baumender]

Would of loved to go to his live concert specially after a fat ass joint :-)

[18isboss]

play this at my funeral

[Desoletexe]

@Biosbftw007 -

[Desoletexe]

@blosbftw007 I agree, the beautiful rhythm of Jun's music is full of a tranquility that you can connect straight to as if it were your own heart, so when you watch Samurai Champloo, whether you're Japanese or not...you still feel right at home, Jun must have spent so much heart in making his music flow with perfect equilibrium to that touching anime for you to feel like you were the closest place to home, oriental or not we all seem to feel something similar when watching that Great series ;)

[biosbftw007]

Before, my life was just a life. When I started watching Samurai Champloo, I found out about these guys... I was entranced by the sounds I was hearing. I have heard songs that fit in certain moods like a glove. But Nujabes are a new breed of fitting. They nail the mood like no other. They have just about completed my life.

-DsGBiohazard

[xxhazex]

@biosbftw007 hell yea dude. but nujabes was a man. Jun Seba his name backwards in japanese order.

[ds12z]

Damn it, this sounds so awesome. I keep coming back to it.

[187onYaAs]

omg this is sickkk.

[r0ger831]

I want this played at my funeral.

[Viper194]

@r0ger831 i want that silver morning played at mine LOL

[Hamel1n]

is magical here in chiloe im counting stars, ty nujabes to make me see my land in a beautiful way

[lolstfuomgurgay]

nujabes and j. dilla are the pac and biggie of production; two legends gone too soon, but at the same time will never die. RIP. 

[TheBVTM]

also if u like hip-hop with jazz and real instrumentals i got a legit playlist no b.s... if you like sub

[ShaDowAssaSiN120]

am I the only one that pronounces Nujabes like it was French with a silent "s" ?

[d3st88]

@ShaDowAssaSiN120

Never occured to me :P It's Seba Jun backwards, after all.

[MurakamiTenshi]

His name is Seba Jun (first: Jun second: Seba) which is Nujabes backwards

[thebsenior]

I need someone to tell me how to properly pronouce his name. I feel disrespectfull because I still have no Idea ho to introduce him to people.

[zzirlob5ter]

@thebsenior his real name is Jun, i think this name is pronounced Nuuu-ja-bes

[xxhazex]

@thebsenior yeah that guy got it right New Jah Bes

[zzirlob5ter]

it broke my heart when I heard the news in February of 2010, it didn't first sound real. this man, Nujabes. the man who's music has influenced my entire life..who has helped so many people through music and not words was taken from us it crushed me when I came too and realised it. R.I.P you will always live on through your music Nujabes... I hope you have found peace, Where ever you are.

[raverone100]

@dubtenko everybody javes to die.. But remember nothing is permanent not even death

[dubtenko]

Why did he have to die dagonit! >_<

[billthegeek33]

If you liked this, do check out the original acoustic guitar version of this song by Jose Feliciano. It's awesome!

[Qiuvoweb]

George Benson's rendition of "Affirmation" is my favorite, but the one sampled here is Jose Feliciano's, which is the original. Just goes to show that great music is great, no matter in what era it is done.

[maddoggy01]

As you know, Samurai Champloo uses this song. I think its in episode 11, when Jin saves the Woman from the red light district. It was one of my most favorite moment through out the series,

[TheZackandSteveShow]

I love you Nujabes your music got me through a lot of bullshit.

[jijejejea]

God will cherish your awesomeness and music. Entertain him while your up there while watching over us. :)

[ZeldaWolfen]

One thing all these songs have in common is that they make me long... longing for something. Longing for love, happiness, peace, serenity. I feel it so strongly.

[KiriouSs]

smooooooth

[slurztheproblemchild]

91 People Accidently Clicked The Wrong Button...

[hieguanyong]

i replay this song too many times..snow is filling up my screen..

[alucard4545]

EVERYONE...have a good holiday :)

[KoreanDan310]

Last night I was listening to this song, I looked out my window and there were no stars tonight. Some people say that each star is an angel. If thats the case, Najubes was probably having a concert that night.

[manop98]

@KoreanDan310 RIP NAJUBES!!

[MessageKyle]

@KoreanDan310 I love your top comment:)

[Itrdc5Guy]

@KoreanDan310 word

[NERDstarXD]

@KoreanDan310 That's deep yo...

[MaDvFX]

@KoreanDan310 Dude... Nice

[TheCoats1234]

@KoreanDan310

That was so beautiful. You made me think of my dad & sister. Thank you for that.......(tears)

[megathornful]

@KoreanDan310 ure really good with words... Salutes!!

[Fheyd2Black]

RESPECT from Jamaica.

[lisergx]

its been so long since i've heard this. i see the fan base has increased :)

[Isteveh]

I know nothing about nujabes as a person and I never met him but the first day I herd that he died it felt like I lost a friend. Its weird how his music can make you feel like you know someone without meeting them.

[unclejunglebass]

this nujabes bro seems like a pussy..... take benson's jam and do basically nothing to it? fuck that.

[GreenIInk]

0:04 ~ 0:10 listen to the beat carefully it says "All. Alone. Counting. Stars."

[iReconify]

/watch?v=tHqx11ose4k

Does anyone know the song that over plays at 0:26-0:29? I'm guessing nujabes but I'm not so sure

[Ponkiizz]

@iReconify Don't even try it - Nujabes & Funky DL :)

[sanchezflow008]

In all these pictures, his eyes look closed and his face serene, much like a buddha...

[cmclay4545]

God I wish I could find some nujabes cds online for cheap. It's depressing for me having to torrent them, because if anyone deserves to be recognized for his work, it's Jun Seba. If anyone knows a good place to purchase metaphorical music, or any of his other releases for a good price, let me know.

[TheZackandSteveShow]

@cmclay4545 I agree it's hard to find a cheap place because it's an import. But when you slide that disc in your stereo or cd player in your car you know it was worth every penny.

[KiriouSs]

Nujabes is Japanese Hip Hop. His music is known for a strong jazz influence, frequently using samples from artists like Miles Davis and Yusef Lateef.

[JoshBeyers]

This is soo chill man

[MrSnufflefluff]

I LVOE THIS SONG!! XD you inspired me so much Nujabes, I taught myself to play this song!

[ERREMULL]

If you see this comment, you got the right idea! Nujabes is amazing!

[migueleato]

All I want for Christmas is Spiritual State by Nujabes...

Spiritual State by Nujabes..

Spiritual State by Nujabes..
