Pointers to Nujabes

  • "Kamakura (Conversations with Jun)" contains parts of a talk between Nujabes and the author ('Jun' is Nujabes' first name).
  • "Music is Ours" is a reference to Nujabes' song "Music is Mine" from the album Modal Soul.
  • "Beach Of Life" uses a pun in its refrain with two of Nujabes' co-production album titles: "Check me out on the beach of life. Mellow Beats, Friends and Lovers and many others, so many others. Try to exist in the beautiful. It's false, it's just Bullshit as Usual."
  • "Another Reflection" is a cover version of Nujabes same-titled song released on Hydeout Productions 2nd Collection.
  • "Modal Soul" is a remix of Nujabes song "Modal Soul" released on the same-titled album Modal Soul.
  • "Latitude Tribute Mix" uses music which is equal to its original version "Latitude" from the album Metaphorical Music, but the lyrics describe the authors memories about Nujabes (e.g. "I made a whole record one floor down from your home"). He often redirects to the original lyrics with a slightly different meaning ("You can call me on your mobile phone" in the original version and "I used to call you on your mobile phone" in the tribute mix).
  • "A Day by Atmosphere Eternal" is a cover of the similarly-titled song off the album Metaphorical Music.
  • "Reflection Eternal" is a cover of the same-titled song off the album Modal Soul.
