    Normally, I don’t comment or do anything with KZread videos but this, This was something special. Nujabes was my savior when I was in a dark spot in my life until I heard the entire Luvsic hexology. The passionate way you spoke about everything, your flow, your speech patterns and how you emphasize major points makes me see this entire video as a true tribute to Nujabes, and thats not something I say lightly. Even I can’t do that when I attempt to speak about how much this artist means to me. But this, this was it. From a random guy on the internet, thank you.

    Despite Notorious BIG releasing an almost premeditated posthumous 'Life After Death' album, Nujabes 'Spiritual State' was the posthumous album that really woke me up to those afterlife style ideas. It gave me chills. It inspires me as an artist to this day. It set the bar higher for how I think about art and what legacy one leaves behind with their work. The day I heard the news he had died and the day I heard Spiritual State, I remember clear as day. Rest in Peace.

    I've never actually listened to lyrics in songs since english was never even close to my native language (i've been borned and am still living in southern post soviet union country), and for some reason Nujabes' Luv always felt so depressing and [giving a hope] in the same time; it would always put me in some kind of rainy, lonely and warm in the same time mood, until one day i decided to read the lyrics *i've always been doing something with music turned on on the background so trying to actually listen to lyrics would only distract* and oh god, though i'm not emotional at all, tears ran down my cheeks. I've listened to all 6 parts of Luv and after that, reading in the comment section that he's passed away... that hit me hard. I couldn't put myself together back for a week or so, though before i've always thought that i'm more durable to things like this since i've overcome depression with insomnia that last since 2013 till january 2019. I still can't forget how the fact that he's passed away changed the *Like a movie that you can't predict Like a book that you can't resist* part, having hope that he at least had a happy life, though the whole Luv series made me doubt it. I still can't listen to Nujabes without getting teary nor i can resist listening to his music. *As i once said, the biggest tragety of our existence is it's sudden end, so live your life to the fullest* ♥ And as one youtube commentator once said, *Nujabes isn't dead, you just need to click play.*

    Luv Sic still causes me to cry when I really listen to the lyrics... pt 2 and 6 especially. Pt 2 I feel hopeful for the future and that knowing that no matter how bad things seem, it will get better. Luv sic pt 6 feels like such a send off and so perfectly created for a grand finale that I sometimes sob just listening to it. The purity and effort that was put into it, and knowing the history of discovering the track on his phone after the accident by Shing02 just adds so many layers of emotions. We’re extremely fortunate to have pt 6 actually release because the chances of actually missing it were pretty high. I’m grateful Shing02 continues to spread his legacy

    Thank you for giving Nujabes the respect and recognition he's always deserved. It pains me to see him so unrecognized all around the world, even in Japan itself. His work in solidifying the chillhop subgenre, as well as similar branches, was completely unprecedented and, in my opinion, has never been rivaled since. The emotional depth, nostalgia, texture, lyrical eloquence, and sample curation are simply amazing. All while fusing dissimilar genres to ultimately result in a genre of its own, truly deserves him a special place in history.

    There is no music that grew with me through all my phases of change. Literally every day I listen to him. So often was his music the last bit of happiness inside me, the last bit of physical thing that reminds me of the frail beauty of this world It’s so so deep embedded in my soul I identify myself so much, through the feelings I have when hearing him. I want to be like the music makes me feel

    Like most people i discovered Nujabes through champloo, and later youtube. I dont think there was a day where i wouldnt listen to at least one of his songs. I remember finding out the day that he died and just crying to the sound of Counting Stars, something I'd never done before for anyone. To this day his music will still elicit emotions in me when I least expect it. Amazing musician with amazing soul.

    Nujabes was the discription of my somber night life drives in Tucson, Arizona. I'll never forget, now I've gone, that atmosphere and emotion. Killing time, perusing for inner peace. While it'd be nearly a waste for me to go back to that city, I put him on sometimes to hearkon back. He accomplished something more than personal by being able to transport me back entirely to enjoy the things I do miss and loved on the drop of a beat. Funny how close the word musician is to magician.

Some years ago, i was listening "Hikari" and someone wrote that the possible meaning of the title was the name of train transportation in Japan, also Nujabes had another song called with other route train transportation. Every song was made with something on the Nujabes´s mind, and we can pass all entire life thinking and trying to find it. That´s is an artist. Thanks for the video!!!!
