Nujabes, born Jun Seba, was killed in a car accident in Tokyo. Nujabes crashed when
leaving the Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo’s Minato Ward. Hydeout Productions
confirmed publicly the death of this unique talent today. The Internet death rumors
did not make it to the English-speaking web which is a rare case in which an artist’s
actual death notice preceded the rumors.
Nujabes was the founder of Hydeout Productions, and the owner of two Tokyo record
stores, Guinness Records and T Records. Nujabes also contributed music to the anime
Samurai Champloo, an anachronistic tale mixing samurai lore and modern hip-hop culture.
He was buried by his family in a private ceremony.
