Luv[sic] is a hexalogy of songs collaborated on by Japanese rapper/producer Shing02 and Japanese hip-hop producer Nujabes, released between 2001 and 2013. The sic in the title refers to the latin proverb meaning "thus it was written" which is commonly used to recognize a mistake, in this instance the spelling of "love" as "luv"; "Love sick" becomes "Luv[sic]".
