Talk:Nujabes

Years Active
It says he's only been producing since 2003 but that's just when his first solo albums were released. He produced Substantial's CD in 2001 and probably others before that.

There is a discrepancy between the Japanese version of this article and the English. This one says 1996 - 2010, but the Japanese version says 1997 - 2010. Which is correct? --CorwinNewall (talk) 03:10, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation
Does anyone know how to pronounce Nujabes? It has been the subject of debate with myself and my peers for some time now.

according to the katakana on the japanese page, it is pronnounced like NEW JOB ACE
 * "New-jah-best" is how it's pronounced on his Ristorante Side A mixtape. hateless 00:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Nujabes pronounces it as "Noo-jah-bez" in a Funky DL song. ~ rih29 23:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Ristorante Mixtape
Is there any information on this? All I know is that I digitally own it, but the tracks have no titles, there are 2 sides with 17 tracks on side A and 15 on side B. I know nothing about what I'm listening to. JeffreyGomez (talk) 13:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been searching for tracklistings for the Ristorante Mixtape as well. I've come across a couple sites that claim to have the tracklist, but neither of them seem to be correct, since they usually list Side A as having 15 tracks, and Side B as having 16.TheHighChef's tracklist page AsianGround Family forum both have supposed tracklistings, but both seem to be wrong, or messed up. I've resorted to manually tracking down songs and comparing them to the mixtape's tracks.Bobbias (talk) 17:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)


 * All I can tell you is that the last track on side A actually is by Röyksopp and is called "Eple." I'd love to find out the other track listings.  I despise naming songs Track 1, Track 2, etc...  Bobbias, have you completed your list yet?  What have you come up with?  Thanks for the two leads.  Draguindin (talk) 18:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Hydeout Productions into Nujabes
Does not appear to be independently notable from Nujabes. Could easily be covered within the artist's article as much is redundant and unsourced. Star  Mississippi  14:03, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Agree, trim & merge. Acousmana 21:49, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. Hydeout Productions provides nothing that couldn't be in this article. ― Levi_OP<sup style="color:#000;padding:1q;border:black 1q solid;border-radius:6q 6q 6q 0;padding-top:0">Talk 01:27, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Jun Yamada (山田 淳)
Are there any reliable sources that this is his actual Japanese name? The infobox currently says that, but the only sources I can find to support that claim are Reddit threads, which are not reliable. Until someone can reliably source that information, I'm reverting the infobox back to Seba Jun, which is the only Japanese name that the sources refer to him by. TempDog123 (talk) 06:22, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * There's a Japanese magazine article that has a quote from a former colleague that said his birth name is "Jun Yamada" (山田淳) (https://www.arban-mag.com/article/55056 English translation) as well as a video interview from the same guy and another former partner stating the same thing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fibC7Ybt4I&t=940). It's also on his family gravestone if you see a picture of it.
 * From what I could see, his professional career first started as a writer for a music guidebook/magazine and was credited under the alias "Jun Seba". Later on when he started producing music he used the anagram "Nujabes" based off of the alias he already made for himself. Sleepylark (talk) 22:50, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
