I was first introduced to the artist, Nujabes, through the infamous anime Samurai Champloo, when I was still a student in high school.

This anime had a strong influence on me as the art style and aesthetic were glorious in every execution.

The characters and storyline are top notch and I highly recommend this anime if you haven't seen it.

In our search for the sunflower samurai, we get to experience the amazing melodies composed by Nujabes.

This song is a mix of my favorite track by Nujabes- Aruarian Dance.

when you need to relax faster - Enemy Toad - YT comments

This mix is sped up abit but the song has a bunch of really cool mixes by other artists if you like this one and Nujabes is nothing short of a musical genius.

I hope you all enjoy this jam and can dance with me in the comments XD

Have you seen Samurai Champloo?

I asked ChatGPT to "write a poem about a sunflower samurai":

In fields of gold, beneath the sun's bright light,
Stands a warrior, a samurai so bold,
A sunflower blade in hand, shining bright,
Ready to defend, with honor untold.

His armor, woven of leaves and stems,
A symbol of nature's fierce defense,
His heart beats strong, like a sunflower's gem,
Filled with courage and determination immense.

Through the fields he strides, with purpose and might,
The wind whispers tales of his noble deeds,
He battles bravely, from dawn until night,
His spirit, like the sun, never recedes.

His sunflower sword, a symbol of hope,
Its petals glowing with a golden hue,
He fights for justice, never to mope,
To protect the innocent, through and through.

The sunflower samurai, a sight to behold,
A warrior, fierce and true to his name,
His spirit, like the sunflower's pure gold,
Will forever burn bright, in fields of fame.

You can sing along if you want 👨‍🎓😉
