Nujabes Passes Away at 36

DJ and hip hop artist Jun Seba, widely known by his stage name Nujabes, passed away on the night of February 26, 2010. He was reported to have been in a car accident in the Minato ward of Tokyo as he was leaving the metro express. He was rushed to the nearest hospital, but doctors were unable to resuscitate him.

Rumors of Nujabe’s death had been floating around since the day of the accident. Many had not know that he had passed away, including many of his coworkers. His death was announced yesterday by his own production company Hydeout Productions and by close friend and fellow artist Shing02. His burial was held at Shimeyaka.

Nujabes was the founder of Hydeout Productions and owner of Guiness Records and T Records. In his career, he has released four studio albums as well as five compilations. He has also contributed his music to the anime, Samurai Champloo.

Rest in peace.

Shing02 says his farewell.
