R.I.P. Seba Jun

R.I.P. to the man known best as Nujabes....

According to what it says...

"Late night on Feb 26th 2010, in the Minato Ward of Tokyo, there was an accident on the expressway. He was rushed by ambulance to a hospital in Shibuya, where they were unable to restart his heart."

This personally makes me really quite sad, as Nujabes and his music have always had a special place with me. I'm sure that like with many others, he was my introduction into this realm of jazzy hip-hop that I'm so infatuated with, and for that I thank him.

I was able to meet him once, working at the Tribe/Guinness Record shop in Shibuya, but damn, I wish I had talked to him some more. I always figured I would just see him again someday. I guess the next time I made it to Tokyo I'll be going to his grave to offer incense. That's just really really sad to think about....

Take care my friend, and rest in peace. 成仏が出来るように
