A Tribute to Nujabes - Poem of Sky and Sea
by Robotaki
This is a tribute from our new remixer Robotaki to Nujabes (Jun Seba 瀬場 潤), a Hip Hop artist that died on February 26, 2010 (aged 36). He wrote music for Samurai Shamploo and made a solid contribution to the music scene in Japan and collaborated with several artists in the USA. I think Robotaki put a lot of time into this truly touching piece.
As far as the remix goes, we had some trouble putting this on the site. After spending some time trying to figure out why this wouldn't properly upload, I found out it was encoded at 320 kbps. This made a great deal of sense, so I re-encoded it at a vbr between 128 and 192. It's now half the size and relatively the same quality - which falls under our submission standards. Anyways the song starts off kind of clippy, but you find out later it's pretty intentional. I really learned to enjoy this piece quite a bit. It makes me want to see the anime. It's a pretty relaxing song - thank Robotaki for the submission, I'm sure you guys will enjoy this a lot.

I learned yesterday that Seba Jun, better known as Nujabes, prolific Japanese hip hop producer, was killed in a car accident in Tokyo on February 26th, the same day the big earthquake hit off the coast of Japan.
Frequents of this site may know him mainly from his work on the Samurai Champloo soundtrack, or collaborating with his close friend Shing02. Shingo had this to say:
"Today, I have very somber news for the international hip hop community, especially fans of the independent hip hop scene, and those who have followed my career.
It has been announced that Jun Seba, aka Nujabes, Japanese hip hop producer extraordinaire, passed away late February. Official statement from the label (in Japanese) here:
http://hydeout.net/hydeout/2010/03/_hyd … tions.html
We deeply regret the loss of a unique talent and a close friend. Through his soulful music, Nujabes has touched so many people around the world, even beyond his dreams. He was a mysterious character to most as he avoided the public limelight, rarely conducted interviews, so only a few got to know the man behind the signature production. Yet it continued to amaze me how young listeners of all backgrounds learned of his enigmatic name, and expressed support for his music.
As I write now from Japan, I had been leaving him messages the past couple of weeks, trying to get in the studio together, so the news could not have come any more unexpected. Even last week, I passed by his house and called him thinking he was still home.
I met Nujabes around 2000 and as an upcoming MC, I was fortunate to work on tracks such as Battlecry, F.I.L.O, Luv(sic) parts 1, 2 and 3. We had been working on the next trilogy of Luv(sic) over the past year (which we’re determined to see through). The last time we talked in January, Nujabes emailed me to wish Jeff Resurreccion, a 19-year old beatboxer who had just passed way from cancer, his heartfelt condolences.
While we continue to respect the privacy of his family, we will work to preserve his legacy, and pay tribute to the body of work, some unreleased, that he has left for us to enjoy. Jun Seba will be dearly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, and fans worldwide.
in peace,
Shing02p"
Couldn't have said it better myself. I will just end the news post with one of my favourite songs:

Endless Expanse of Field and Sky
by Melody
This remix is professionally made, I love the violin work. This is our first Escaflowne remix to make it to Anime Remix, and what a treat! This somehow reminds me of the Chrono Cross Soundtrack. This fanciful piece takes you across the world that Escaflowne so artistically assembled. This is a must download for those who liked Escaflowne and like music.

Arabian Nights
by Xaleph
I tried to showcase one of the bass/synths in this song, especially since I really liked Aladdin. I was originally going to work with this guy who I found that did some good guitar work on this song - but he never ended up sending me anything. Nonetheless I think I put together an alright piece. The ending was rushed, I do intend on putting up an update once I finish it.
This is the 100th song on Anime Remix - I'm pretty hyped about it ^_^!
