this app hasn’t been beneficial for me as an artist for a long time, so until something changes, this account will be a mostly cut and paste archive for my past releases. i’ll still post when i have something new to drop, but 80% of posts will be about past/legacy releases. ✌🏻
nujabes’ mom was a kind soul. i spoke with her a few times each year, and she always made sure we were fed at the tributes. she was battling an illness for some time, and ended up passing away on the same day as her son…which i doubt was a coincidence. she loved her son dearly.
누자베스의 사망소식을 듣고
처음 트위터를 가입한게 2010년 1월 경이였네요...
그당시 유행하던 트윗애드온즈에 누자당이라는것도 만들고
그렇게 트위터에서 일본 지인분을 통해 말도 안되게 누자베스 어머니와도 연락하는 기적같은 일이 생기도 했습니다.
자주 연락은 못드렸지만 2018년도에는 직접 도쿄로 가서 인사도 드리고 누자베스 동생이 하던 우사기 라멘집도 가고
어머님덕분에 추모공연 출연진이였던 @PASEROCK@IamSubstantial@marcusd 과 사진도 찍었던..
그리고 후에 어머님이 트라이브샵티와 CD까지 선물로 주시고
참 잘해주셧는데 정작 연락도 잘 못드리다.
3년전에 영면에 들어가셨다는걸 이제야 알았네요...
Rest In Feather. 부디 누자베스와 함께 즐거운 시간 보내시길
