[sourceLink asin="" asin_jp="" cdj_product_id="" text="" url="" ] [en]What You Need to Know: [/en][es]Lo que necesitas saber: [/es] Samurai Champloo, which aired in 2004, stands as a groundbreaking anime directed by Shinichirō Watanabe. Seamlessly blending historical drama and hip-hop elements, it crafted a unique visual and musical experience that captivated anime enthusiasts and hip-hop fans alike, earning acclaim domestically and internationally. Director Watanabe, known for his deep appreciation of music, selected four well-known hip-hop artists for this project: Nujabes, a rare track maker who shook the scene with his lo-fi hip hop, later garnering numerous followers domestically and internationally; fat jon, who has been active since the 2000s as a central member of Five Deez, and has also released albums produced by Nujabes; Force of Nature, a unit consisting of KZA and DJ KENT, who handle remixes for numerous artists and showcase a strong presence as top runners in both domestic and international club scenes; and Tsutchie, who has been leading the scene since the dawn of Japanese hip hop as a track maker for SHAKKAZOMBIE. In 2004, they released four CDs for Samurai Champloo: “Departure,” which includes tracks by Nujabes and fat jon, along with the opening theme “battlecry/Nujabes feat. Shing02” and the ending theme “Shiki no Uta/MINMI”; “masta,” featuring tracks by FORCE OF NATURE and Tsutchie; “Impression,” featuring tracks by Nujabes, fat jon, and FORCE OF NATURE, along with the insert song “who’s Theme/MINMI”; and “Playlist,” featuring tracks by Tsutchie. These CDs were smash hits, but have since disappeared from the market, becoming sought-after collectibles. In 2022, these four titles were reissued as vinyl records and became a hit, recording sales of over 30,000 copies across the four titles combined. Now, in the 20th anniversary year of the TV broadcast, the CDs will finally be reissued in paper jacket format. Whether you bought the CD back then or discovered the series later through the TV broadcasts, wouldn’t it be exciting to reimmerse yourself in the music world of Samurai Champloo on CD, which was the original format when it aired? Additionally, to commemorate the 20th anniversary, a collaboration event with the culture shop YEN TOWN MARKET® is scheduled to be held as a popup store from June 15 at Shibuya PARCO 5 and YEN TOWN MARKET! Apparel items focusing on iconic scenes from the anime and special designs exclusive to this collaboration are also in the works! Please check it out!
