Nujabes - Hikari

[yoelco]

To me he always lives on through his music

[TheMadkal]

Nice sample of Ramsey Lewis - Julia ;)

[SuperJynxx]

Jynx - nobody knows produced by nujabes

[70haircuts]

i rapped a freestyle for nujabes today to this song, it was about him

[12th88]

I really hate rap but WOW this stuff is epic! great beat great lyrics, awesome!

[Jonnycastaway32]

@12th88 This is not rap! Its Epic Awesomeness ^3 (squared)

[hipstersavy]

@Jonnycastaway32 thats cubed buddy

[kevkKilla18]

this the most beautiful song i ever heard

[the0newhoisfat]

It's a bit sad that music like this will never be played on the grammys and what not..

[FastUzumakiFive]

@Equon1 I agree with you on that one

[HARPZ121]

R.I.P Nujabes. You where truly one of the most amazing minds to ever grace this planet. For someone to put this amount of emotion into a beat, infact it isnt just a beat. Its a peice of art, every second im playing this its like watching a picture being painted infront me. Truly powerful music.

[blowndaddy11]

This deserves a Nobel Piece.

[solvesters]

To die i feel the individual has to be forgotten! Nujabes is not dead, he lives in his music and in each and every one of us! Peace

[KuraiTensheiSK]

Real music

[hileyosis]

I was at otakon and i saw substantial freestyling he killed it!

[RorretsNet]

Gross how lil douches name is mentioned on music like this.......

[1oESo1]

westrice brought me here

[stitcha123]

nujabes: hero

[TelosKarna]

man... just wow.

[emokiddZ234]

sorry love <3

[NinjaWaddles]

Man... This has so much soul.

[buntado6]

if you can´t tell what is he saying, look the lyrics, is totally worth it

[VagrantWatcher213]

@buntado6 Wow, that was great.

[xbxspartan]

in a paradise may he rest. you can hear the elements of life in his music, amazing.

[starchase1990]

paying tribute to the memory of the late Sebajun.

[costyron]

look at the video responses, new nujabes album is out now! also featuring substantial, cise star, pase rock and uyama hiroto! @imSOrawx3

[imSOrawx3]

one of the most beautiful smothest tracks out. i wish there were more songs like this

[yellowpaperlover]

came here looking for a kingdom hearts soundtrack but this is just as amazing

[FluffyOnigiri]

this song is absolutely amazing. The words are cute and the melody gives me a very nostalgic type of feel.

[akspartan92]

Does anyone else have this dream of living in a quiet, peaceful place like a mountain or forest where its just you and God, and Nujabes music is like a gateway to that dream?

[horoko7861]

@akspartan92

yep, my place is Antarctica; listen to nujabes and talk to god.

[PotatoMajor]

@akspartan92 I don't need ANOTHER imaginary friend

[UnholyMessiah555]

Gorgeous musically and lyrically. Both these guys are candidates for the best talents in hip-hop, IMO

RIP Nujabes

[jahkusa5]

:')

[ozilevin200]

So in this song, Substantial did the mistake, and he is parting ways from a woman that he still loves and she loves him, instead of breaking her heart and begging for forgiveness...

I underestimated Hikari...

[KitsuneCecil]

@ozilevin200 Actually, if I'm not mistaken, it's about a girl who wants a one-night stand with him and he's rejecting it because he's married.

[frickfrock999]

For anybody wondering, the sample is Julia by Ramsey Lewis

[BlaccXReap]

Nujabes was like a Japanese Dilla

[thelapointe]

This is by far my favorite nujabes sample.

[frenzy282]

stop copy commenting

[KarateKonqueror]

Nujabes + Substantial = Beauty

[happiglad]

@KarateKonqueror Nujabes feat. Substantial = Beauty`2

[verysadhippo]

@solidbeaver

it's not like any of the the top comments should be expected to be original...

[GodsTouch12]

rip nujabes

[AdamRocksAtLife]

Nujabes is epic... I wish I could have discovered his music before he died... Still, his amazing music will live on forever!

[Wingman4life1]

@AdamRocksAtLife my first time listening is today and every track is blessed.

[Howyoudoingtakecare]

@AdamRocksAtLife

pretty sad that this comment gets a lot of thumbs up..

[SeanZetaGray]

When I have to do any work, I play this song. I can focus and complete my work faster with satisfaction.

[FrenzyDub]

@SeanZetaGray So true, this beautiful composition unlocks my imagination, letting it run free.

[MrDJ217]

Master piece.....

[inrun360]

日本の誇りだよ



[ilovegames98]

Guess I gotta Leave THE past behind.... Thats what Nujabees told me..

[gmertag]

SPEAKS HIS WORDS WITH MUSIC

[nix4pool]

What a tune, just love it, never want it to end,

[Reymius]

It's so hard not to sin.. I mean sex is so tempting..

[reaperkaze]

@Reymius the truth and nothin but bro tell my girl to lay off

[Meltedchair513]

it should be called kami instead.. this song is much more than light. it is god

[ASIANCHOPSTICKZ]

Nujabes + Substantial = a beat that the WHOLE WORLD can rock their heads to...

[thelapointe]

This song is kinda a rip off of Ramsey Lewis's - Julia but that doesnt change the fact that its FLY

[redwolf481]

@thelapointe

it is a rip of ramsey lewis's julia...this song sampled julia

[sativasymbiosis]

I wish we could all unite somewhere and throw a nujabes themed get together, if your from Canada near London Ontario let me know, or can make it, let's do it! share our love! nujabes will smile!

[ItsukiHylian]

Nujabes-Sama!!!!!!! Daisuki your music!!!!

[Viltsuw]

@ItsukiHylian please stop XD

[RoZeWhip]

@ItsukiHylian Please... stop.. That's fucking disgraceful.

[thelapointe]

@RoZeWhip Thankyou for saying that.



[jahkusa5]

@ItsukiHylian Nujab' Sensei guy ;)

[Tony43222]

Good songs he did, but I dont get it: He was from Japan and rought his song titles only in english with lyrics in english.

[AGentlemanAndScholar]

i got lost in this beat. the rap's sick too

[joelmvp08]

@AGentlemanAndScholar same bro this beat is just uplifting

[MMAenthusiastUHHE]

I knew Hikari meants Light without having to google it ... anime FTW

[UberBomber93]

[Koala675]

[oegelaaboegela]

[RougeLady]

We can't be we won't be sorry love...</3

[Tullzter]

Nujabes is not dead...simply press play

[dcforlifesk8]

Dear nujabes, you been one hella of inspiration on my life and for that i thank you so dearly r.i.p. nujabes May the force with you.

[etfoshizzle]

@dcforlifesk8 i agree completely with every syllable of that sentence

[supaflyz88]

hip hop lives

[CockMyRasbah]

No bitches, no guns - just conscious, honest, superb rap.

Oh, and the sample is Ramsey Lewis - Julia.

[carsonnik]

I wish I could find just the instrumentals. Not a fan of the rapping

[Andreallen4]

RIP Nujabes

[1SANTIAG01]

if god took nujabes from us i hope i get to see god so i can slit his throat...

[dbomarksman79]

share brilliance!

[FateUnderground]

rapper sucks, is too quiet and ruins an amazing beat

[joelmvp08]

@FateUnderground what??? he blends with the beat perfectly, he didn't voice over the beat, he went WITH it

[FateUnderground]

@joelmvp08 I dunno the instrumental is a lot more powerful, this guys just rapping about how he doesnt wanna cheat on his wife, kind of ruined the beat for me to be honest

[joelmvp08]

@FateUnderground yeaa..i see where you're coming from bro. kinda true

[EPVxRaize]

this song is for all the men out there that refuse to be players

[Kyonekomexico]

@EPVxRaize Players of what?

[EPVxRaize]

@Kyonekomexico men who play girls

[rtardx]

this song is the peanut butter to my jelly sandwich

[HUGO1989]

Nujabes music is my shot of tequila, my intravenous morphine, my weed... Im always drugged and drunk with his music.. Nujabes Rest in beats... Todays rappers here in the US just cant think of anything which is why they started to used oldies music to remix them.. but it does not turn well!! Nujabes ur the best, ur music opened my eyes toward life.....As of now... I am a successful person!! A dad, husband and a graphic Designer. You bring Hierarchy to my Designs!!!

[Fumitsu1]

tellme that the piano from the back was a job of nu beacuse i cant think anybody else could do somenthing like this :D !

[cesarulises11]

beautiful song, beats, lyrics, etc everythang lol

[templarknight456]

i laugh at religion but beleive in what you want all i know is that nujabes made music only fit for those who know how to appreciate fine quality music. without the use of vulgor words or depressing life stories. he found music on his own by knowing what pleased the audience and for that we thank him by continuing to listen to his creations that he left behind

[orientalbean]

@templarknight456

i agree but i dont agree with the depressing life stories, for some people music is the only way to express and not explode, ya know? but yea im so grateful he left behind all his tunes for all of us :)

[templarknight456]

@orientalbean agree on the expressing part but when you put one story to another you can connect them and becomes too common to the public. we the audience seek that sound that excites our soul. but music like technology changes constantly and by the time we do find that certain sound it has become out dated and no longer thrills us. thats when i wish time would slow down because when i finally appreciated 90's music i blinked to an 18 year.

[KoLjabes97]

Nujabes isn't dead, press play.

[Arevo]

@KoLjabes97 Respect

[solidbeaver]

@KoLjabes97 you just copied what the "Counting Stars RIP Nujabes" video's top comment said......

[cafroman99]

@KoLjabes97 a million thumbs up, amazing comment man

[thelapointe]

can't really compare nujabes and people like nicki minaj their two completely different types of music. Nicki manaj doesnt even make beats. but if nujabes made lyrics he would sweep the floor with nicki minaj.

[CockMyRasbah]

A rapper that can vividly describe a story without having to resort to swear words is a valuable rapper indeed.

One Substantial is worth more than a thousand Lil' Wayne's.

[MNVikingsforever]

@CockMyRasbah I never blame a rapper for swearing when it is actually necessary. I honestly believe that the vast majority of rappers are just doing so to get rappers, but others swear as a form of anger. Rap is pure emotion, and I can accept swearing in that form.

[Agent474life]

@CockMyRasbah I agree with you 100%

[THEAWEKINEDONE1]

@CockMyRasbah dude i love you dude I've been saying that for years, finally someone understands.

[migueleato]

@CockMyRasbah sorry thats a bad comparison. My asshole is worth more than 100 lil waynes. Substantial is worth 1000 000 drakes.

[mirokyu]

@CockMyRasbah Nujabes is so awesome, most of the time, he doesn't need words at all.

[brainfear]

@CockMyRasbah

agreed!



[Equon1]

@CockMyRasbah this song is better than all lil waynes career

[abranlosojos23]

@Equon1

No comparison. Nujabes lives forever in the beats. :)

[SafamanaJF]

@Equon1 this song is better than all of lil wayne's career and all of his past birth's careers combined.

[QuixoticUkulele]

@Equon1

This song is better than anything that's been mainstream for the past decade. Nujabes' music is just on a whole other level that feeble-minded rappers just can't understand.

[durdened]

@Equon1 Why couldn't it be Lil Wayne that died! We all know his music serves no purpose... just alot of ranting right?

[artofappreciation]

sorry, love. sorry someone took you before your time.

[LiveHumbleDanceHard]

Blunt

[SoleGrunt]

Nujabes is my favorite producer from the east

Dilla from the west

Two of the greats, both passed away it's a shame.

I wanna keep their legacy of great hip-hop going

cause lately it's been going to shit.

Listen to my stuff if you want, subscribe if you want.

Encourage the good

Ignore the bad

it's as simple as that.

[imSOrawx3]

why did he have to die!?

[80ohno]

I usually appreciate Nujabe's songs because they are mellow instrumentals, but this song and Imaginary Folklore are really good with the vocals/verses...it's ethereal and makes me miss Japan.

[ayoitsmeeeh]

aw shit this takes me back. i miss you nuajbes.

[DougyD83]

rip nujabes

[Gotenks45]

No.

[Viper194]

does anyone know if this song exists without the person rapping?

[Lipstick745]

@Viper194 maybe try searching for instrumental one? -___-'

[Viper194]

@Lipstick745 if i wanted to search i would shut up

[nick45644564]

Substantial and Nujabes still doing this

[SleepLifeDeath]

jammyz444 your an idiot

[WieIsDieMannetje]

@6Unkn1own9 i thought nujabes music couldn't be more heavenly then it already was... but it seems there is one more true ultimate heavenly music for us yet to experience :p it wil be so genius your head cant take it and u really dó go to heaven... thus 'heavenly music' xD srry dudz i smoked... so a series of thoughts began to develop while starting the comment.

i also wondered... what would they even use to play this "on the way to heaven" ? boombox? stereo set? anyone? :p

[6Unkn1own9]

@WieIsDieMannetje Absolutely nothing, No boombox, no stereo....Nujabes will be played in our soul

[MonGolPatriot]

@6Unkn1own9 i cant w8 for it. dont be mad if u die ;)

[BlakMastachief]

@6Unkn1own9 Sadly Nujabes is in heaven himself. May he rest in peace...My favorite producer...

[Flowraince]

when you are in heaven, this is the background music.

[Xudes222]

the people who thumbed down this song, just thought that it was the download button

: )

[myndae]

I'm about to listen to Witney Huston after this song....

Some would say "learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all..."

Others would argue! You ain't the greatest Lover!

[PhoTwehKnee]

sooo goood~

[Flowraince]

why didn't lil wayne died...

[blackpowerfreak]

This is the song I discovered 5 months ago. This is the song that would change my life. This is the song that opened up a world of peace within myself. And this is the song that let me discover who Nujabes was, the song that opened and changed my world completely... Rest In Beats Seba Jun, Rest In Beats... :)

[headbangaboogie1]

what an honest message, this type of shit would never make it to mainstream because it's a song that we can benefit from.... sigh

[cm588]

this is what keeps me going on those depressing days, it really picks me up

[terraitya]

This picture looks like wide spread legs with water reflection beneath ; D

[ThisTurtle]

Not on iTunes....sigh.

[jmowgz8]

@ThisTurtle torrent his discography man

[leonk1998]

What is this album called? and is it available to purchase at amazon.com or any other place online?

[OMGlvl86turtlepilot]

@leonk1998 cant find this album ANYWHERE dude. im willing to pay like 827365 dollars

[AlexOreo54]

@OMGlvl86turtlepilot Search the mediafire torrent for Hydeout Productions 2nd Collection.

[LiveHumbleDanceHard]

This Kinda makes me sadd =..[

[LiveHumbleDanceHard]

Lovethis  ^^^ True Art

[LJITLOML]

"hikari" translates to "light" in japanese. and nujabes really was, is, and always will be the light of our lives.

[ThaGreenangel20]

Now I see why God needed a DJ. Rest In Beats Nujabes
