Jun Seba, a Japanese DJ and Hip-Hop producer, died in February in a fatal car accident in his native Japan.
A statement was posted this week announcing his death on February 26th, the same day a 7.0 earthquake rocked Japan:
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.
The label founded by Nujabes, Hydeout productions, confirmed the DJ’s death on their website (translated from Japanese):
