Nujabes

This week--before I post my Japanese spiel--I wanted to dedicate this post to one of my favorite producers. Every song I have heard from this guy has been a very enjoyable listening experience. Most hip-hop these days is anything BUT 'moving music'. It's moving in a sense that, yes, it will probably get a club moving, but the content provided by the lyrics is anything but moving.

The man behind the name is せばじゅん (Jun Seba), and so he played around with his name to get Nujabes. He is from Tokyo, and is the most refressing producer I have heard this year. Although most of his stuff has been around for a while (i.e. pre-2005), I didn't really get into his music until I heard the Samurai Champloo OST's. He has a bit of a jazzy flavor to his music, and often lays his hip hop beats under some light piano, flute, acoustic guitar, and other various instruments. For his lyrics he seems to get some pretty good rappers, most of em' I've never heard of, but regardless they still are top-notch. The product of that is some of the best most enjoyable beats that I've ever heard.

ウズベキスタン

　ほかのれいに、ウズベキスタンのぎゃくさつがあります。ウズベキスタンのだいとうりょうが　じんけんしんがいしゃで、イスラムけいしみんを拷問していることは世界中に知られています。二年前、ムライークレィグが、イギリスのウズベキスタン大使に　このひみつをばくろしまた。ウズベキスタンは、じんけんほごのきじゅんに会っていなかったのに、米国は一おくドルのけいざいえんじょをおこないました。なぜでしょうか。？そこにぐんじきちを作りたかったからです。それは　人のくのうをむしする　せいとうなりゆうでしょうか？
