Mentioned in this 2003 Sound & Recording interview (of which the magazine printing can be found here), which has been translated into English here.

　当初の制作システムはシーケンサーがMARK OF THE UNICORN Performerで、サンプラーのAKAI PROFESSIONAL S3000との組み合わせ。レコーダーとしてROLAND VS-880を仕様し、ミキサーにはROLAND M-12Eを使っていたそうなのだが、トラック制作へのめり込むにつれいて機材も徐々に拡充していった。

Nujabes’ initial production system was a Mark of the Unicorn Performer sequencer combined with an Akai Professional S3000 sampler. He says he used a Roland VS-880 as the recorder and a Roland M-12E as the mixer, but as he became more and more absorbed in track production he gradually expanded his array of equipment.

「サンプラーはすぐにAKAI PROFESSIONAL S950に移行して、その後は容量やシステムの相性でE-MU E5000 Ultraを使い続けています。あと、トラック制作を再開して１年くらいして、シーケンサーはSTEINBERG Cubase VSTに移行しています」

"For my sampler I quickly switched over to an Akai Professional S950, and later for capacity and system compatibility reasons I started using an E-MU E5000 Ultra. I currently use an Akai Professional MPC2000XL for rhythm sampling—the nuances in the tone sound better to me on that. But I still use the E5000 Ultra for overdubbing samples. Also, about a year after I started making tracks again, I switched over to the Steinberg Cubase VST for my sequencer."
