According to Shing02's official statement on Facebook, the instrumental track for what would become Part 6 was found on Nujabes' phone a few weeks after his death.

There are six individual vinyl pressings of each Luv(sic) part/song; on December 9, 2015,[5] the official CD was released by Nujabes’ record label Hydeout Productions which combines the original six Luv(sic) songs as well as the instrumentals of the songs and remixes made by other artists such as the Australian producer Ta-ku (Regan Mathews),[6] LASTorder, Jumpster and Uyama Hiroto.

I remember recording the vocals to Luv(sic) on a Roland VS-1640 and an Octava mic (which I still use) at my home studio in El Cerrito.

I was living the moment.Nujabes incorporates a sample from Aki Takase's "Minerva's Owl" that he used alongside drum breaks and basslines to create the instrumental.

the first line came naturally, "once again now..."The vinyl pressing of Part 2 was originally released in Japan in 2002[10] with the cover being an artwork created by graffiti artist Syu.

In the end he folded, and that was an example of us working out our differences.Luv(sic) Part 3 was originally released as the fourth track of Nujabes' album Modal Soul.

A snippet of the latter mix was released in Shing02's collaboration with DJ Icewater, For the Tyme Being, as a medley with a duet rendition of Part 1 featuring Emi Meyer.

On March 1, 2010, a new rendition was released on Shing02's YouTube channel as a tribute to Jeff Resurreccion, a beatboxer and fan of Shing02 who died of cancer in January of that year.

This mix features a third verse but lacks the Rod McKuen samples or the break without drums heard in the original and leaked versions.

I'm sure all artists can attest to that, those are moments that remind us why we fell in love with creating.The vinyl pressing was released on December 26 in Japan, with artwork created by FJD.

It was a simple loop, but I instantly knew that we had to finish it.The vinyl pressing was released on February 26 and the artwork was created by FJD.

On March 25, 2018, the Luv(sic) album was released on Spotify[21] alongside all of the remixes and instrumentals found on the CD.
