Nujabes is most well known in the anime community for making the soundtrack for Samurai Champloo. This one is from his solo album "Modal Soul".

World's End Rhapsody samples The Quadraphonics "Betcha If You Check It Out" and basically the idea for this AMV came from the way Nujabes sampled it. He sampled the line "Betcha if you check it out, You're gonna find that I love you" which repeats for the majority of the song. It changes slightly throughout, and there are added piano solos on top but a lot it has the sample, especially in the beginning, be slightly muffled and hard to hear. Later on at the bridge part, the song "opens up" with a similar line. So, it's kind of like Shinji hearing the message from people but it's being muffled because he's putting on headphones so he can't hear them properly. He's also always in a passive position, kid like, hospitalized/injured, defeated posture, unable to even let others touch him. It's one thing I really liked about the final movie, him sitting in that isolated place while people go to him to try to reach out. Well, anyway, he eventually decides to pilot the EVA and when he does so he's no longer passive. He's filled with vitality and he can finally hear what everyone is saying.
