Nujabes - Shino's Theme

[ticow]

the original beat to this song was made by george benson, but i love how nujabes was able to make it stretch.

[eetherealflux]

@ticow name of benson's track?

[somedudesdontabide]

@eetherealflux affirmation by george benson

[eetherealflux]

@somedudesdontabide thx

[KevinHilt]

It was played in the anime, when Shino was sailing away.

Yes, it is just a section sample of counting stars, but it was made like this for that part in the anime.

I personally like it just like this, anyway.

[GuyWIthAHoad]

this is a repeat of a section of counting star 

[vibravibra]

this episode is so sad yet beautiful

[meezjo]

Reminds me a bit of Lotus

[mcduggals]

It's a funny thing when you hear Seba Jun's tunes, cuz you really don't hear anything like it in your life=)

[CRush9405]

definitley a mix of counting stars not shino's theme

[yellowpaperlover]

i'll bet you really like elevator music :P

[SteamMonkey115]

Feels like elvator music :P

[attempt4]

Listen to Shino's Theme and then Counting Stars. 

[TheCoconuTea]

Nujabes... duh coo gai

[kenseisato1989]

samurai champloo a awsome anime but nujabes just made it better

[kilopothe5th]

Samurai champloo!!!! Love nujabes r.I.p

[grandvage]

this song takes you to a time that never existed... a time that has past but never came in the first place... a time period that is created by this music and we feel the nostalgia of it even though we never tasted it..

[BboyProu]

@grandvage You've just described what I feel when I listen to Nujabes' songs.

[xxStreetRidaxx]

@grandvage im writing a song on this beat the way we all feel when we hear it.

[GossamerWaits]

@grandvage

Déjà Senti is the phenomena stirred by this song, I feel...am I right?

[miklitov23]

@grandvage I thought I was the only one that felt that way :D. Not only does it make you feel the nostalgia of a happy memory, it makes you remember it in a melancholic way.

[JPN777]

lmao it is counting stars

[YazzyRock]

Just had an eargasm.

[Valkayre]

seba jun, every tiem i hear your songs it get me sad, but I know that you still live in your music!

[OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

isn't this the same as, "Counting Stars" ?

[Valkayre]

@OMGlvl86turtlepilot yes, it's a remake for the tv show

[XAdiehSugarlessX]

COUNTING STARS :D!!!!!! ~ shoop shoop

[SHOTRED555]

I really happy that he use George Benson song to make this his own, you can tell that nujabes really did love funk,Hip-Hop/rap,rock :) R.I.P Nujabes

[XpianoxboyX]

I drew this picture in fading boxes 'really cool picture this is I reallly like nujabes <3

[unitedtothedeath18]

Song is called Counting Stars, just so you guys know :p Took me a while to find this one myself

[LOLinFEVER]

@unitedtothedeath18 can you read the video comment? it might be original mix prior to Counting Star's release

[rafizzle6]

that awkward moment when the sex slave you just met two days ago and fell in love with is sailing away on a canoe and this song is playing. (episode 11)

[knt0318]

堕落天使の最後あたりで流れるんだよね

凄くいい曲

[heartless536]

i've been trying to find this forever

[pennzST]

HIPHOP LIVES!



[darkeye123321]

this is the part u listen 2 while resting from bboying

[BHewerdine]

make it all you want it to.. be,/ the every heart beat.. connected to the soul,, like a rose that rose through concrete,, stone.. this endless road.. a one way entry..to behold.. so steep.. one eye closed.. but wont prevent me.. from this leap of fate.. no longer alone// pt 2.//

[BHewerdine]

a world free of nightmares a memory../ clear as the raindrops falling free through the air../ a cemetry.. of those no longer there../ leave the earth as energy.. to repair.. a broken heart..away from insanity../ take away every tear.. away from the marks and the scars, only time can bare//.. to prepair me for the hardships.. so hard..to set free../ how to fare.. the worst, with my family..? care free, all the hurt. the exists.. life is what you make it.. something..// part 1/

[theboywhodestroyed24]

This is 90% the same as Counting Stars only that this tune has overlaying melodies at certain points

[Jay0929]

counting stars 

[wwwkkkbbb]

@Silentrzk this is actually the track they played in the anime its from counting star they just repeated it like this for the fight scene when Jin saved Shino from the brothel and sent her on a boat

[shaibinkrafi]

[MrSkate4weed]

[GohansRiceBall]

Thanks for this!

[inkkHD]

[donaldo24leftmid]

[kouvaaj123]

I heard this Music a couple of years ago....when I first heard it I was LIKE ........................ o_0 OMGosh D fuckin BEST ... WHEN I FOUND OUT HE WAS DEAD I WAS LIKE OOOOOMMMMMMMMMFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGG­G ..... then i cried....

(so yah im just glad to have heard his music once in my life and hope to past it on to the younger generation) R.I.P NUJABES ^____^ and i wont cry this time LOL

[ELRingoFa]

@kouvaaj123

Please tell me you're a troll.

[beantownn54]

R.I.P Replay In Peace

[CROCKETT984]

is there a better track quality?

[azuriasky]

@CROCKETT984 Search for Nujabes - Counting Stars.

[GossamerWaits]

This song makes me feel like I'm in love.

[Silverballer45ACP]

yeah... god will probalbly make him an archangel =)

[TheXrythmicXtongue]

Sorry to burst your bubble dude, but this IS counting stars..I have the entire Samurai Champloo OST, and this is not on there....

[Silentrzk]

@TheXrythmicXtongue it's a remix of counting stars.

also just noting that Nujabes did indeed use tracks that weren't included in the sountrack.

point case, in Lullabies of the lost (verse 2), towards the end a track called "Sea of Cloud" is used, but that was from another Nujabes Album ;) This remix will probably be released along with everything else hasn't released before he passed away in the near future.

[fragfestchampion]

Isn't this 'Counting Stars'?

[LPCIzFAMOUS]

thank you Seba Jun, your music helped me through so much when i hear your music the world around me changes. i can feel every instrument and every beat plays to my soul your music is eternal and will remain with us forever

[dusk19491]

@your description... this is basically counting stars with an extra piano track on top... I wouldn't call it different

[MeijiKendo]

so his name is Seba Jun?

that meakes sense.

Nujabes --> Nuj Abes --> Abes Nuj --> Seba Jun

[Famn180]

Ahh, "Gamblers and Gallantry" was a great episode , filled despair and righteousness , man I really miss samurai champloo

[kennedyjuanCCoronel]

Yeah" Counting stars" best legacy" R.I.P. Nujabes"

[3m0hyphy]

Does anyone know the song played on the guitar? I know there was a version played by Jose Feliciano, but the original name or artist doesn't come to mind for the life of me. =/

[ticow]

@3m0hyphy its george benson

[cruzonsax]

@ticow It's actually written by the guitarist named Jose Feliciano

[heisan270]

sorry guys. give me 5 seconds to finish arguing down here.

we japanese write or say our names....  family name 1st then first name. its opposite way of how western countries do. seba is his family name and jun is his first name. jun seba(western way) or seba jun(japanese way) both are correct......done.

you have 4min and 10sec to enjoy.

[TheKLSmooth14]

The way I see it, if its the original counitng stars or not Nujabes made the soundtrack for Samurai Champloo. So its not a big deal. R.I.P. Nujabes

[wereraveisking]

this is so peace full. makes you actually think, yet theres no words involved. this is true music.

[MusicalJx997]

You'll always be remembered Seba Jun, Is it because your one of Japan's greatest dj's, partially, but it's mostly because youtube has a replay button. We'll never lose your musical touch bro ~Mr.2000

[ohayoo80]

nujabes R.I.P

[OrangeMulatto]

Kool Yung Myth has a music video out ft. Nujabes!

If you like good music you should check them out, just type in Kool Yung Myth and you'll see the video.

It's called "Sincerely"

[nem700]

if anyone watched the episode of samurai champloo where this song came up, there was a instrumental with a piano loop. anyone know that instrumental?

[niccalpear]

I would say this is my favorite Nujabes songs, but then again i say this about all of them

[XxDasantekixX]

@Yndiax And believe what, you like it, because looping perfection just make it more perfect.

[WGKilljoY]

WHY DO I KEEP LOOPING THIS

[Onizuka4ever]

@xSkighx : I read your video description.

Actually Shino's Theme doesn't exist. It's a loop of Counting Stars which goes from 2:01 to 2:20.

@all: Shino appears in episode 11, the song starts at 19:57.

[nem700]

@Onizuka4ever

yeah but it's this loop that gets played on the episode. and this loop is better than the original.

[the4realeddie]

@Onizuka4ever Dude I skipped to that moment especially to feel what I felt when I first watched Samurai Champloo. Simply amazing feelings, music and everything, even the art style they used....thanks

[heavygunz301]

I like the part when the music was playing.

[Yesnog05]

I'd kill to have this as my theme song

[MrBluntpuffer]

Who cares what it is. it's good and that's what counts.

[xDejahx]

No. If you listen to the original "Counting Stars", "Shino's Theme" is just 1:02-1:12 of the song looped.

[cosmotiggy]

sounds the same to me, bro...

[181403]

@cosmotiggy what do you mean???

[Zwietracht]

@181403 it's repetitive.

[ProRevolution1]

Seba you are the vaccination for society and our modern day music and every night I count stars with you, rest in peace man.

[BboyMonKhousE]

Seba Jun, his name encrypted, like a play, it was scripted, elegantly with modest calligraphy, beat of the harmonius melody, could even tame the savage beast, as his beats traveled to the west and the east, could you suddenly let go? is it the rhythm or the flow? that contrives to protude into your soul, nothing lasts forever so that's no console, but we got to hold, the clay mold, and close your eyes and behold. Nothing lasts forever, but history is in the making. Nujabes; world for the taking.

[shazam15]

@BboyMonKhousE

fantastic poem.

[hyuridebarros]

@BboyMonKhousE good shit homie

[speedblaze]

@BboyMonKhousE Amazing man....just Amazing.

[SunRys1]

@BboyMonKhousE

Yo guys, this is BboyMonKhousE. If you guys feel my poem, then good looks to y'all. This is my new account, since I've changed my name. I'll be releasing a mixtape soon, so if anyone's interested, then lemme know! Thanks to everyone who felt my shit!

[BboyMonKhousE]

@BboyMonKhousE

Hey this is BboyMonKhousE, my new account is SunRys1, so please check out our mixtape we finished 2 years ago. We're called styles of conflict. Lemme know what you guys think, I'm working on my newest solo mixtape, so hopefully it'll be alot better. Thanks for all the likes, and rest in peace Nujabes!

[getthetapjj]

@BboyMonKhousE That was beautiful.

[Jakarayi]

@BboyMonKhousE

Amazing (:

[pqtran91]

@BboyMonKhousE Coolstorybro



[RosesAndWhine]

@BboyMonKhousE Dude, he just wrote it backwards...

[SteamMonkey115]

Its weird that his name is Seba Jun and scramble them together to nuJabeS

[chrissb555]

@SteamMonkey115 it is just backwards

[SteamMonkey115]

@chrissb555 Weird

[bmanjnr]

@SteamMonkey115 Not scramble just turn around. :]

[181403]

@SteamMonkey115 actually its just backwards

[anythingnew]

How can a song with its notes being looped and repeated over and over still sound so good?

[Jyphlosion]

@anythingnew nujabes believed in simplicity. thats why his music may sound repetitious, but simplicity was the key to his music. thats wat worked and thats wat will always work. ^__^

[Ironyumi5]

@Jyphlosion Simplicity? This is Originality, Creativeness, and Beauty at its peak.

[animespreader]

This.........this is a loop........which used Counting Stars as a base.

[MadnessJuan]

@animespreader Which is what Shino's theme was, or atleast the song that was played during the escape.

[exdav123]

oh jesus nostalgia everytime i hear this tearing up inside

i remmeber discovering nujabes, this was one of my first and favorite of his works ;)

[JohnF30Music]

this is basically a loop of counting stars... lol

[KuritaElite]

@JohnF30Music

Or Counting Stars used this as its basis. :)

[elbluenose]

id love to go lay in the hills full of daisy's with a girl.... yes im a guy and sensible

[vestavixmgs]

R.I.P.

[TrappStarr99]

Proof That Even God Is Greedy...smh

[inglewood180]

nujabes was one of the greatest music producer of all time<3

[Learn2Tank89]

Nujabes thanks for the nice music you did and all the help you gived to everyone rest in beats and learn god how to do sweet beats like this R.I.P Nujabes we all love you <3

[kevindherdt]

Nujabes's music helped me so much when depressed of a long relationship break up :( .. I'll never forgot him.. R.I.P. love nujabes

[Jay15x8]

[xAngelWingsxx]

RIB Nujabes... Rest In Beats.

[pheenix42]

@xAngelWingsxx Well said, sir...well said! :D

[RAAB0601]

how many different songs did he use this sample?

[FailedSuccessfully]

Hey guys, check out my channel, I uploaded a few new productions of mine.

Nujabes is my biggest inspiration, so I hope you guys like it, and please comment and let me know how I can improve it.

Thanks.

[aleio16]

I just want to say, I love you guys, with "you guys" being the Nujabes fan crew. You guys are the most chill, most respectful group of dudes I have ever met on the interwebs. It is becuase of us that Jun Seba lives on.

Respect, my brothers. Safety and peace.

[meeplem]

@aleio16: Not eveeeeeryone on the internet is bad. :)

[Trompincore]

esto es un loop de la cancion Counting Stars que se uso en el episodio 11 de samurai champloo =)

[meeplem]

Death is a sad but true part of life, and I thank Nujabes for leaving behind his lovingly crafted music to remember him by.

[pakman903]

BLAH WHY DID U HAVE TO LEAVE NUJABES WHY CANT U STAY FOR FEW MORE YEARS blah i love to listen to his music when i drawing or laying my bed thinking

[march88]

"While it may be really similar to this song and some parts are actually the same, it's not the same song."

It's not only "really similar", but in fact identical and not "some parts are actually the same", but the whole song is a loop of the parts from 1:01 to 1:11 of Counting Stars.

It was my fav part, so hearing this is awesome. But everyone who liked this, should also check out Counting Stars, which is pretty much an extended version, for a second experience of this wonderful melody.

[debyaka]

he died in a car crash

[none227]

Lovely......

[centerfielder45]

No way this is real life.

[venomblade891]

so this is the real name for Counting Stars huh?

[bestsoccaplayaalive]

Man I just recently discovered him today. Man what have I been missing all my life? His music is such a beauty that not even my ears can believe. This is what peace must feel like. This makes me think about everything...

[UncreativeAndLazy]

Some say Nujabes is in heaven being gods dj... Well In my opinion Jun Seba was a man, who lived his life sharing his gift with the world. He died leaving us notes, emotions, and thoughts so that we will never forget him. For that he will be remembered admired and loved in all of us. With that I'm glad that I can die one day knowing I was able to feel what I felt from his music. I dont believe in heaven so my words wont reach him anymore, but from the bottom of my heart thank you Nujabes

[MasterRikaru15]

hey all the people that loved Nujabes an its inspirational smooth rhytmn. I would like to say that his music would always calm my mind whenever I'm in a bad move. Jun Seba R.I.P. An may your music always live on in our souls.

[KnS122308]

wen u listen 2 counting stars do me thiz one thing nd turn up da bass on there i swear u gunna love it well somma yall not all but da bass on there is WOW

[Yesnog05]

I've been a fan of Nujabes ever since I saw Samurai Champloo, and I admit I downloaded all his latest albums-the music was way ahead of its time. After he passed away, I had to buy all his albums (even though I downloaded them for free before) to thank him personally. It wasn't about how well the beats were mixed in, but it was how the beats touch you and your emotions. Even still today, there is no other artist out there than can make a huge impact in my life than Nujabes.

[GalaxyMagician]

Dude I swear Michael Jackson and Nujabes would make great music together in heaven. In fact, I bet they are already :) RIP MJ AND NUJABES!!!!

[OokamiKuma225]

it is sad to think that people dislike this music. there is no reason i can find were you couldn't enjoy it. *sigh*

[bungnung]

God got tired of the DJ's he had up there. Nujabes aint dead...he found the ultimate gig. Keep doin what you do Seba Jun! We'll keep your music alive down here!

[lester0091]

@bungnung ur comment gave me goosbumps

[yomeritoish]

@bungnung  im sad cuz thought God went a little bit selfish this time.. u.U maybe He just borrow him us a little..

[JBHero12]

@bungnung *Jun Seba, not Seba Jun

[Khrene]

@JBHero12 He was probably just addressing him in the fashion thats custom for Japan, Family name first.

[JBHero12]

@Khrene Jun Seba is how we would say it here as well. If his name were Doe John in Japan, Then we would say Doe John here as well. His name is his name, why change the order?

[rvasquez6089]

he released the real version on a limited edition vinyl in japan

[PalabrasNoPistolas]

the comments on his music are always moving. peace world.

[runinamok93]

Counting Stars with different EQ settings

[rvasquez6089]

@runinamok93 well the mixing on the instruments is different rather. i spent a lot of time trying to re-EQ counting stars with a parametric EQ and frequency analysis graph and couldn't get it to sound the same -.-

[jfresh123456789]

This seems more like just a looped version of the first parts

[PimpingRice]

@jfresh123456789 yes everyone knows that its a loop but once u understand the beauty of real hip hop then it wont sound like a loop anymore, its telling a story. starting out to listen to nujabes is a whole different world once you understand his music genre then you'll understand life a lil bit better

[jfresh123456789]

@PimpingRice I don't think you know what you're talking about

[PimpingRice]

@jfresh123456789 dont worry you'll get what i mean when u have more experience in life

[thetruelaughingman]

he's not dead. close your eyes, listen, and you can see him.

[lassientote]

this is an epic song and epic anime

[CamerOneiric]

who knew that the japanese could bump so hard? dan the automater and nujabes killing it

rip

[TheNinjaJeremy]

Cool, I just put my little Brother to sleep using the Nujabes method=)

[SmartedPAnda]

Counting Stars

[MrFLIPPINSAMPZ]

RIB

[Mizugatotsu]

thanks for sharing your soul with us Nujabes

rest in peace

[frosty321]

I just found out that he died when I just glanced at Wikipedia. This world is so cruel. An amazing producer. Rest peacefully brother.

[jermain703]

i cried so hard when shino was crossing the river

this is the most emotional song i've ever heard

[Z3LDO]

this rushes back so many good memories back when i would watch samurai champloo...i've seen the series about 3 times i am deeply in love with it and the music is beyond amazing i can't believe Nujabes passed away it makes me so sad it kinda hurts this amazing music won't be created anymore..

wow so he died really recently?
