For 20 years the original series soundtrack, and the music from "the Seatbelts" has stuck with me. My wife became addicted to it after i introduced her to Bebop. It very much is something that will take me through the rest of my life. Not just because i'm a Weeb, but because of the beauty of it. Thank you Yoko Kanno for the Wonderful creation you spawned into Life. And it is alive, wonderfully so.
@@Loveselfloveall Heartily agreed but still. If you look at other examples, many fans ask for instrumental/music only releases in all genres and media, from death metal to musicals. I mean, how could they not want to at least do a livestream of a performance - they get paid, everyone loves it - the world wins. It's not like we're not going to buy more swag if we get obvious reasons; new generation of musically literate subgenre weeb groups lol. I'm a musician but an enthusiast - I'm always looking for teachers to study under, I am always looking for new things to insert into my lexicon even if it means never being able to say I'm the best at anything because I'm always learning so I'm happy. :-) I've studied several pieces from the original soundtrack and whatever performances of YK+SB I could find. The big thing they have to deal with is the evolution of the fan/artist relationship that has occurred between the original releases and today, and with everyone living much much longer than they used to or even thought they were going to, it's going to emergently build and intensify, webbing itself throughout all portals of interaction, generation, and consumption of life, or as it were, the realtime content that we currently perceive as this thing called "life". They already have a guaranteed success and we need to make that FUN instead of BORING for them so they feel like they want to give us more content, then when this event winds down we'll have more paths to follow the artists from this place we discovered them.
if only! can you imagine, if we had gotten an actual "20yrs later" concert & it made like, QUADRUPLE the number of views the actual live series made ^^
I don't know why but a lot of Japanese artists especially in the anime/Manga industry are like this. I've seen mangaka who show up to TV interviews (in Japan) wearing masks. Most of their bio sections have drawings instead of photos, etc. It's a humbleness or shyness thing, I guess? Junji Ito is the exception that proves the rule haha there's a million photos of that man doing crazy stuff. But it's hard to find non-shy artists like that.
i wonder if she is feeling her age...i was sad to see how much the photograph of an older(30-31yo) starlet tried to hide her face in a "10yrs later" photobook. yes, for a jp person, time slapped her HARD(not as hard as vivian hsu), but we loved her very much, no need to try so hard (with shadows & such) & so clumsily, to hide her age.
Kanno’s new soundtrack with the Seatbelts is the number 1 reason I’m so pumped for this new adaptation. I’ve listened to the original soundtrack regularly since first watching the show.
Music's bout the only thing I can say I'm excited for...anime is like top 10 all time..that's a really tall task ahead of them. I just hope they don't do what every single thing being re-released has been doing and using it as a vehicle to push some political agenda...my expectations are in the basement.

If the music wasn't treated with such care, then we would have to riot. Its seems like they are genuinely trying their best to make this show the best that it can be, but when dealing with a masterpiece, a classic, like bebop, its needs to be close to perfect, as humanly possible
It's much better through the lens of nostalgia. I rewatched it recently and still enjoyed it, but it's only just fine. I love a whole lot about it, but I can't pretend that it holds up perfectly. Even if this new adaptation doesn't live up to everyone's expectations, I'm very excited to experience new, or at least reimagined Bebop content. And in the event that this were to bomb, it doesn't cheapen the original in the slightest. If the most we get is a few bad ass scenes and a great soundtrack, I'll consider it a gift.
Having Yoko and The Seatbelts involved in the project seems to be a great decision,since the music is almost one of the characters in the anime. I recently finished the Anime and i am aware of the reviews for this adaptation and honestly... I don't give a damn,the OG Bebop still exists and i'm wiling to see another take on the story,even if it is cheese and forced as the critics are saying. "Whatever happens,happens!"
You know i noticed something in the reviews. Prior the announce of the live action series a lot of people did articles and videos about how is going to suck cause: "Won't capture the essence of the anime" or "The cast is not good" or "the production design is terrible" stuff like that. I didn't watch the show yet since premieres in a few days more, but reading the reviews i noticed how EVERYONE was praising the cast, how EVERYONE liked the production design (sets, ambient, VFX), how EVERYONE thinks it captures the anime style. The compains? Focused mostly in how is not the anime, how doesn't "feel" like the anime, how the anime "does it better" and i mean... No shit, the anime is other thing, instead of going to a more grounded approach like many other adaptations the series embraces the campy yet charming style of the anime without hesitation and yet seems to be no space for nothing for most critics i saw. I Will wait to watch the series before giving My veredict however looks to me like the reviews are not being fair with the series since once the supposed initial concerns were adressed in a pretty good manner they still managed to dislike it for other reasons unrelated.
@@kaoko111 "this live-action Bebop has a fun enough crew to spend time with, but it disappointingly replaces the soulfulness of the source material with kitsch." I'm going to watch the show before I judge it but I've seen this sentiment echoed in a lot of the reviews I've read and I'm extremely disappointed. And I was one of the people optimistic for this too! I've read that this is simply a poor adaptation of the show that simply misinterprets what made the original work. I don't consider faithfulness a positive directorial trait, but apparently it doesn't bring anything new to the table either.
@@kaoko111 um what? I just checked metacritic and there are like 2 positive reviews with the rest of them being either mediocre or negative. Most of the 8 negative reviews, which range from a 3.8-1.6/10, had nothing good to say about any of the things, other than the actors, that you are claiming *everyone* is praising. I mean, here's a direct quote from one of the reviews: "The result lacks a color palette, a distinct visual language, and any resemblance of soul. This is just like the Cowboy Bebop you remember (or that your friends told you about), except it is absolutely nothing like it." One critic even called it a bastardization of the original. What you are saying doesn't make sense. If the reviewers are saying (which they mostly aren't) that the sets and ambience is so great and that it also captures the style of the anime then how are they also saying that it doesn't "feel" like the anime?? Those elements are a huge part of what would make the show feel like the anime. Also my god why are you people over here trying to pretend the original was campy when it wasn't? "absurdly exaggerated, artificial, or affected in a usually humorous way." that's the definition taken straight from Merriam Webster. Stuff like Wet Hot American Summer, Evil Dead, or the early Batman movies and TV show are camp. Just because the original had some humorous episodes doesn't mean it was campy. That's not even close to what the anime is, but of course you would know that if you actually watched it.
Yoko is a powerhouse, watching this who else got the chills when in the background "the real folk blues" showing John Cho in the cockpit, the real folk blues part 2 ep 26 vibes
Me: So, I'm not all that interested in the live action adaptation... *Netflix: We're bringing in Yoko Kanno to score the series again.* Me: So, when does this premiere again?
The shows good in its own way. Takes different routes and elaborates on stuff. They definitely rather explore the characters emotions more than the action it seems like, which is fine.
"Were you rushing or were you dragging?" **chairs hide** Kidding. One of my favorite soundtracks. Looking forward to seeing what they did with the live action.
@@aegresen Ah. Fair enough. 13 years back I met Hideyuki Kikuchi and Yoshitaka Amano. My copy of the first Vampire Hunter D novel is not leaving my shelf.
@@JnEricsonx Damn that's awesome. Yoko and the Seatbelts did virtual jams of some of the songs from Bebop, Macross etc and she always kept herself hidden. You can still see her swinging around like Ed, though!
@@astrayproductions Every attempt at live action has been butchered. Their has never been a well done live adaptation of an anime. Also this anime is regarded as one of the best. So their is very high expectations. Which from what everyone else has seen is not being met. Also it doesnt help that the actress playing faye comes off as a bitch. Accussing fans of not liking it because they're sexist.
I was going to say I'm disappointed the video didn't preview any new compositions. Everything is a note-perfect rendition of the original. I just compared the Real Folk Blues from this video with the original and couldn't spot any differences, even in the random freak-out guitar sounds. The interviews talked about reworking. Either my ears aren't sharp enough to spot them, or I'll have to wait until Friday to hear the differences.
@@PaulWrightHomeWhat? Listen it again. You can hear the harmonica mixing with the beginning of the song, there are some variations on the instruments, specially in the guitar, the mix of the violins for me are better, i can hear it more.
@@KevinTaNet I hear it now. The first part about 5:15 is the first mid-8 from the original (about 2 min 05 sec in the original). It has the same string line, but there's an acoustic guitar that isn't there in the original (or is way down in the mix). The second part at 5:40 is the outro from the original I think.
Bruh dont compare this to death note. Death nkt had no respect for the source material , here at least they kept. A lot of it in the series and did something originals aswell but 60-70%was the same where as in death note the only things which were the same were the names of the actors lol
@@gamingparadise3390 A live action shouldn't be so obsessed with the original show. It can't never be like the animation, they should try and create something new respecting the main plot
Having binged it yesterday, it's pretty hit and miss, with a lot of miss, but I respect a lot of the things they tried to do with it. Last half of the season is kinda solid.
These guys are literally my favorite band. Ever. They created my favorite peices of music, and I am pinching myself hearing that they all came back together after 29 years to do this
Holy shit. Please lord let there be a vinyl. Edit: Omg. NY Rush with heightened Strings. Real Folk Blues with Harmonica and Guitar a la the Live Takes. I can't.
@@skycaptainshell1 yep! You can watch excerpts from their live DVD on this platform. The live version of RFB has wicked guitar solos at the end, but here they are worked throughout.
omg if she just released all the music that she wrote for bebop that was never used i'd buy it. all of the music was magnificent and i listen to all of it even the voice clips and the live in shibuya all the live long day :) love it and Yoko for coming back :D
It was Soo good to hear The Real Folk Blues at 5:13 as John Cho as Spike blasted off in the Swordfish ll !!! Yoko sounded very good and it's great to see her so enthusiastic in leading the geniuses of Jazz , the Seatbelts! Also Julia looks pretty beautiful!
Thank you being a part of this Yoko and The Seatbelts.....your music has motivated me for so many years. Made me feel so much....thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
She is truly a living legend. Her compositions are brilliant. There are shows that I loved because of the music only to find out later that it was her. I have been a fan of her work for more than 25 years.
She's the reason why I'm gonna watch this series. My best anime OSTs have all been by her: Sakamichi no Appollon, Darker than Black and yes, Cowboy Beebop. I ABSOLUTELY love her.
The sole reason to watch this, is the participation of this amazing woman and the ridiculously talented Seatbeltoos. To hear her and them in action one more time with this score. What a time to be alive.
We never asked for this. But I am so glad we got a real-live adaption of Cowboy Bebop. Seeing the amount of passion and resources they're bringing to the table is impressive! They even brought Yoko back onboard!!!! What a time to be alive.
I’m happy she gets the recognition always deserved, Yoko Kanno… and also Joe Hisaishi, Kenji Kawai have absolutely nothing to envy composers like Williams, Goldsmith, or Zimmer. Yoko Kanno is one of the most versatile composer out there, her body of works is amazing.
I've loved Yoko Kanno's brilliant music since childhood and Cowboy Bebop is obviously one of the best soundtracks, and one that I've loved for many years. Don't know how I'm going to feel about the adaptation.. There are some things I'm unhappy about visually. Like the characters' appearance and such... But at least I know the soundtrack would be incredible.
It feels like such an insult when Netflix ask “skip intro” on this show. The music is such a huge part of its appeal. Looking forward to seeing this live action remake. Hope it’s good.
Yoko Kanno is a freaking music goddess… she is amazing, she is great… and she gace life to our beloved cowboy bebop anime and now the amazing adaptation… keeping to the roots and the source material. This show is the best thing that has happened to TV in a long time!
I'm not sure if the show is great or even good, but I am 100% sure that I love every moment of it with such a passion, I'm halfway through and am savoring the experience. its so wonderful to get to revisit this world and I just cant describe my enthusiasm fro this cast and crew.
God bless you Yoko. Thank you for sharing your vibrant and touching music with the world. I personally feel like your songs changed my life and I was never the same hearing them
“I love that one, but I’m gonna redo it.” Yes to this. Absolutely yes to this.That’s the spirit of jazz, and that was the spirit of Cowboy Bebop to begin with. A horrible shame that most of those who saw this reboot couldn’t see it the same way: I thought the reboot was absolutely fantastic, but most of those who saw it seem to think it was bad purely on account on deviating from the original. Which is ironic, since the whole spirit of the original anime was to improvise, have fun, and create something new. I’m convinced the near entirety of the hate the reboot is getting is an outgrowth of people simply refusing to understand it.
From what I've seen people are hating it based on snippets that were individually really awful. While it's not exactly fair towards the show as a whole, I think fans were already prepared for it to differ from the original anime (though I haven't seen the new one so I'm not going to cast judgement or anything)
@@woomy8971 There were also a lot of people who didn't watch it through, or colored their opinion so early that they didn't recognize what was happening as the show progressed (especially a lot of the comments I've seen about Julia). This, also kind of ironically, mirrors how a lot of people see Jazz - if you don't take in an entire song/set/album before you pass judgement, sometimes you miss the most beautiful parts of it. Cowboy Bebop's always had an advantage in this department in that it leads with "Tank!" which is easy for anyone to think fondly of, and is why it's actually been an entry point to Jazz for younger audiences.
No, it was bad because it was BAD. See, Yoko is an artist that understands her music and bebop, so when she chose to redo it she did it RIGHT. Everyone else involved in the show didn't have a GD clue, which is why it was a complete mess. Don't drag Yoko into your flawed argument.
Me in 2007: trying to download every scrap of Yoko Kanno /Seatbelts I can find off Limewire, thinking the cartoon will slowly sink into history and her music will never be heard again…. 2021: weeping at her superstardom
Yoko coming in to doing the soundtrack for the live action series was the thing that cemented my viewership. Her music with the Seatbelts is practically the lifeblood of the original series. The story was amazing, but the music brought the series to the pinnacle of greatness that no other anime has yet reached. Cowboy Bebop is the standard in Anime. If the soundtrack to the live action didn’t match to that of the Anime, it wouldn’t have worked at all. I’m glad somebody at Netflix was smart enough to recognize that.
"the music is so ahead of it's time" I think someone will have to explain Bebop to Julia's actress That being said, I'm so glad to see The Seatbelts performing! Hope there's new LPs coming with this adaptation
That's what Y.Kanno and the Sealtbeats deserve! The attention and stage to be able to present your masterpiece to a million audience again! Thanks to Netflix and even if the series doesn't come close to the original I'm just glad that it exists and that I can watch, hear AND feel it again!
I had my hopes before the release because I love the anime. But when I saw the previews and heard the music I sat back and took a big sigh of relief. I knew it would be good...how good I didn't know, but the music is icon and fantastic. So happy to hear it again. Been watching it, and it is so good. True Cowboy Bebop.
I last saw bebop a decade ago but I listen to its soundtrack every so often even today. You can never forget the sound once you watch bebop. I had to search a lot and wait for hours just to download a few of its songs over an infinitely slow dial up. I've since made sure every phone I've had since then had a copy of those songs
The music sounds so bright and fresh. I've always loved Cowboy Bebop's music, which feels like a whole character and environment, and having a new set of performances really shows how true that is. Yoko Kanno's legitimately a genius.
If you’re still on the fence about watching this, trust me: just watch it. It’s excellent stuff; like the music, there are some rearrangements; some things work well, some maybe a bit less so, but the spirit and feel of the original are very much present. I’m looking forward to season 2.
Jazz is so diverse with it's many extensions. I dug the music score. Reminded me of my Maynard Ferguson big band days when all our charts were, "Slam Bam Thank You Ma'am," kick ass.
Her music often becomes so intertwined with the DNA of whatever she's working on that if you tried to resurrect the show without her music at best you'd have a body with little soul, if any at all. As others have noted, if anything the soundtrack is gonna be amazing.
Or escaflowne and wolf rain. Actually wolf rain has one of those rare osts where you can just play the whole album without feeling like skipping anything. At least for me.
For me, Cowboy Bebop is in a class by itself. Love the live Action, the actors for Spike and Jet are just perfect. The music is awesome...Yoko Kanno brings it to life. How much better could it be.
Yoko Omg I been following her since the Macross Plus days she MADE A SOUNDTRACK man those were the good old days of anime. And she still looks good. 😍😍😍

I didn't watch the show yet since premieres in a few days more, but reading the reviews i noticed how EVERYONE was praising the cast, how EVERYONE liked the production design (sets, ambient, VFX), how EVERYONE thinks it captures the anime style. The compains? Focused mostly in how is not the anime, how doesn't "feel" like the anime, how the anime "does it better" and i mean... No shit, the anime is other thing, instead of going to a more grounded approach like many other adaptations the series embraces the campy yet charming style of the anime without hesitation and yet seems to be no space for nothing for most critics i saw. I Will wait to watch the series before giving My veredict however looks to me like the reviews are not being fair with the series since once the supposed initial concerns were adressed in a pretty good manner they still managed to dislike it for other reasons unrelated.
@@kaoko111 "this live-action Bebop has a fun enough crew to spend time with, but it disappointingly replaces the soulfulness of the source material with kitsch."
I'm going to watch the show before I judge it but I've seen this sentiment echoed in a lot of the reviews I've read and I'm extremely disappointed. And I was one of the people optimistic for this too! I've read that this is simply a poor adaptation of the show that simply misinterprets what made the original work. I don't consider faithfulness a positive directorial trait, but apparently it doesn't bring anything new to the table either.
Ehhhhh. It’s easier to feel this way when you didn’t grow up with the show and don’t have that long term emotional connection.
You should give a damn. Maybe if people actually started giving a damn then these production companies would actually put in some effort.
@@kaoko111 um what? I just checked metacritic and there are like 2 positive reviews with the rest of them being either mediocre or negative. Most of the 8 negative reviews, which range from a 3.8-1.6/10, had nothing good to say about any of the things, other than the actors, that you are claiming *everyone* is praising. I mean, here's a direct quote from one of the reviews:
"The result lacks a color palette, a distinct visual language, and any resemblance of soul. This is just like the Cowboy Bebop you remember (or that your friends told you about), except it is absolutely nothing like it."
One critic even called it a bastardization of the original.
What you are saying doesn't make sense. If the reviewers are saying (which they mostly aren't) that the sets and ambience is so great and that it also captures the style of the anime then how are they also saying that it doesn't "feel" like the anime?? Those elements are a huge part of what would make the show feel like the anime.
Also my god why are you people over here trying to pretend the original was campy when it wasn't?
"absurdly exaggerated, artificial, or affected in a usually humorous way."
that's the definition taken straight from Merriam Webster. Stuff like Wet Hot American Summer, Evil Dead, or the early Batman movies and TV show are camp. Just because the original had some humorous episodes doesn't mean it was campy. That's not even close to what the anime is, but of course you would know that if you actually watched it.
Yoko is a powerhouse, watching this who else got the chills when in the background "the real folk blues" showing John Cho in the cockpit, the real folk blues part 2 ep 26 vibes
1:00 The caption: "It was during Covid." But she actually said「covidがまだ全然。。。」meaning it was before covid.
Yeah, she said Covid hasn't started at all yet (back then).. Netflix seems to always have a problem with subs it seems 🙄
But she said 3 years ago. That was late 2018. Shit hitting the fan was a ways away.
Typical Netflix subs
I mean, it certainly feels like it’s been at least three years.
Me: So, I'm not all that interested in the live action adaptation...
*Netflix: We're bringing in Yoko Kanno to score the series again.*
Me: So, when does this premiere again?
Hahahaha me too!
Trust me, just buy the soundtrack and spare your eyes.
The shows good in its own way. Takes different routes and elaborates on stuff. They definitely rather explore the characters emotions more than the action it seems like, which is fine.
Agreee
@@krisbennett8456 wrong
Yoko is an absolute legend. Best original score ever put in a tv series.
Za Legend!!!
Yep! Also hi.
Hey netflix you better notice this dude. He is the real deal. Hi Sam!!!!
aight when's your See You Space Cowboy cover my man?
If you read this Sam, please make a version of Adieu from this series. Guaranteed to be a hit.
I remember watching cowboy bebop on toonami and this track just sucking me into a lifelong obsession for jazz... Thank you Yoko
Ms Yoko Kanno is a genius. She is also behind the enchanting music of the great anime series The Vision of Escaflowne.
And she also composed Gravity, the ending of Wolf's Rain. Wich is my favorite Anime ending.
I love Esclaflowne so much, is perfect, one of the top anime
Macross Plus has beautiful songs
@@eduardoarmenta9232 It's a beautiful music indeed.
@@Darkhyron Please check this ~ Yoko Kanno - 菅野よう子 - Ray of Water - 組曲 here on yt. Some sections remind me of Escaflowne.
Yoko Kanno. The genius who helped Niko and Roman’s Charger fly. Absolute perfection.
what?
Yeah I'm going to need some context
Really? GTA IV Hard Charger: Wide Open? It’s a TH-cam Classic guys, come on now.
@@tacocatvlogs no one knows about some obscure shit bro relax homie
@@tacocatvlogs sure but first, lets go bowling.
"Were you rushing or were you dragging?"
**chairs hide**
Kidding. One of my favorite soundtracks. Looking forward to seeing what they did with the live action.
I love how Yoko Kanno's face is in the shadows/blackened for the majority of the interview.
I'm wondering as to what that is?
@@JnEricsonx She's shy, doesn't like being in front of the camera.
@@aegresen Ah. Fair enough. 13 years back I met Hideyuki Kikuchi and Yoshitaka Amano. My copy of the first Vampire Hunter D novel is not leaving my shelf.
@@JnEricsonx Damn that's awesome. Yoko and the Seatbelts did virtual jams of some of the songs from Bebop, Macross etc and she always kept herself hidden. You can still see her swinging around like Ed, though!
@@JnEricsonx like most of japanese people she is shy to the camera
Anyone curious or not familiar with the anime:
Opening song/theme is called "Tank!"
End Credits/theme is called "Real Folk Blues"
Even if the show is bad, the new music we'll get from it is enough to satisfy me.
Production design too
Why is everyone so negative about it even before the premiere of the show? I don’t get it
@@astrayproductions must be nostalgia
@@astrayproductions Every attempt at live action has been butchered. Their has never been a well done live adaptation of an anime. Also this anime is regarded as one of the best. So their is very high expectations. Which from what everyone else has seen is not being met. Also it doesnt help that the actress playing faye comes off as a bitch. Accussing fans of not liking it because they're sexist.
@@cartman55655 People would probably take you more seriously if you knew how to spell lol
new version of the real folk blues at the end!!!
I was going to say I'm disappointed the video didn't preview any new compositions. Everything is a note-perfect rendition of the original. I just compared the Real Folk Blues from this video with the original and couldn't spot any differences, even in the random freak-out guitar sounds. The interviews talked about reworking. Either my ears aren't sharp enough to spot them, or I'll have to wait until Friday to hear the differences.
@@PaulWrightHome the version that starts at 5:15 to 5:40 is different. The one that starts at 5:40 till the end sounds like the old version.
@@PaulWrightHomeWhat? Listen it again. You can hear the harmonica mixing with the beginning of the song, there are some variations on the instruments, specially in the guitar, the mix of the violins for me are better, i can hear it more.
@@arnau7233 the harmonica is from a different song on the OST.
@@KevinTaNet I hear it now. The first part about 5:15 is the first mid-8 from the original (about 2 min 05 sec in the original). It has the same string line, but there's an acoustic guitar that isn't there in the original (or is way down in the mix). The second part at 5:40 is the outro from the original I think.
Death note had Willem Dafoe as it’s bright light, at least we know Yoko Kanno will never fail us
Bruh dont compare this to death note. Death nkt had no respect for the source material , here at least they kept. A lot of it in the series and did something originals aswell but 60-70%was the same where as in death note the only things which were the same were the names of the actors lol
@@gamingparadise3390 bro, you don’t get it William isn’t just Ryuk he’s da foe
Willem Dafoe tried his best. But in the end, even he couldn’t save that film.
@@gamingparadise3390 A live action shouldn't be so obsessed with the original show. It can't never be like the animation, they should try and create something new respecting the main plot
Having binged it yesterday, it's pretty hit and miss, with a lot of miss, but I respect a lot of the things they tried to do with it. Last half of the season is kinda solid.
So heartwarming to see Yoko and Seatbelts reunite for this! The music in this show will be amazing!
These guys are literally my favorite band. Ever. They created my favorite peices of music, and I am pinching myself hearing that they all came back together after 29 years to do this
Original series musics were the soundtrack of my life for 3 years....... and I still love 'em! she's definitely a genius!
Holy shit.
Please lord let there be a vinyl.
Edit: Omg. NY Rush with heightened Strings.
Real Folk Blues with Harmonica and Guitar a la the Live Takes.
I can't.
Lost my shit as well!!! I need a nap this is too much
The live takes?
@@skycaptainshell1 yep! You can watch excerpts from their live DVD on this platform. The live version of RFB has wicked guitar solos at the end, but here they are worked throughout.
I have a question! What difference does vinyl make from the other mediums? I don't own any records
*a record.
omg if she just released all the music that she wrote for bebop that was never used i'd buy it. all of the music was magnificent and i listen to all of it even the voice clips and the live in shibuya all the live long day :) love it and Yoko for coming back :D
If these songs aren't available on streaming services, we riot.
You son of a bitch, im in. ~morty's voice
It was Soo good to hear The Real Folk Blues at 5:13 as John Cho as Spike blasted off in the Swordfish ll !!! Yoko sounded very good and it's great to see her so enthusiastic in leading the geniuses of Jazz , the Seatbelts! Also Julia looks pretty beautiful!
I got goosebumps watching/listening to that part!
Even if the series don't reach the people's expectations, the soundtrack will be absolutely amazing!
I'm one episode in and I am ready for more. Not going to binge it. I think I want to savor this.
Thank you being a part of this Yoko and The Seatbelts.....your music has motivated me for so many years. Made me feel so much....thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Also, thank you for the music you guys released last year during the pandemic....it was what we needed in such a shitty time!!
She is truly a living legend. Her compositions are brilliant. There are shows that I loved because of the music only to find out later that it was her. I have been a fan of her work for more than 25 years.
Y'all going in for this show. I can't wait. 😭
She's the reason why I'm gonna watch this series. My best anime OSTs have all been by her: Sakamichi no Appollon, Darker than Black and yes, Cowboy Beebop. I ABSOLUTELY love her.
Darker than blaxk ost is underrated af
Keiyakusha, Guy and Sid
Ohhh i did not know about that that must be the reason i liked sakamichi no apollon
Let's not forget Zankyou no terror
And Gravity, the ending of Wolf's Rain. My favorite Anime ending.
The whole Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex OST gets overlooked for some reason. My favorite material by her honestly.
Amazing. Mastermind. Genius. Savant. Maestro. And all the things there are no words for. Yoko and the Seatbelts... Thank you.
Omg my baby she so beautiful
ESCAFLOWNE IS STILL THE BEST SOUNDTRACK OF ALL TIME
That's a fact.
The sole reason to watch this, is the participation of this amazing woman and the ridiculously talented Seatbeltoos. To hear her and them in action one more time with this score. What a time to be alive.
We never asked for this. But I am so glad we got a real-live adaption of Cowboy Bebop. Seeing the amount of passion and resources they're bringing to the table is impressive! They even brought Yoko back onboard!!!! What a time to be alive.
Im so glad that there are people who arent just shitting on it
@@MrBruh281 it’s a seperate show and THATS how Im gonna watch it, it doesn’t remove from the og
Just happy to see cowboy bepop back
@@trees1922 Exactly, people seem to think that its trying to replace the anime
Did you watch it? Are you still glad? Lol
@@Mathan_Donn Yeah, I actually am
I’m happy she gets the recognition always deserved, Yoko Kanno… and also Joe Hisaishi, Kenji Kawai have absolutely nothing to envy composers like Williams, Goldsmith, or Zimmer. Yoko Kanno is one of the most versatile composer out there, her body of works is amazing.
Yoko Kanno is a bloody genius.
Yoko has the most beautiful voice. Her work on Ghost in the Shell is legendary.
I've loved Yoko Kanno's brilliant music since childhood and Cowboy Bebop is obviously one of the best soundtracks, and one that I've loved for many years.
Don't know how I'm going to feel about the adaptation.. There are some things I'm unhappy about visually. Like the characters' appearance and such...
But at least I know the soundtrack would be incredible.
I could listen to her music for a lifetime. So beautiful. Thank you for making amazing music that has touched me at so many points of my life. ❤️
It feels like such an insult when Netflix ask “skip intro” on this show. The music is such a huge part of its appeal. Looking forward to seeing this live action remake. Hope it’s good.
That option is literally there for everything on Netflix. You have no reason to feel like it's an insult.
@@zombiefriend But it is, in fact. Just like the "go to next episode" bottom it´s another one.
Yoko Kanno is a freaking music goddess… she is amazing, she is great… and she gace life to our beloved cowboy bebop anime and now the amazing adaptation… keeping to the roots and the source material. This show is the best thing that has happened to TV in a long time!
Excellent!!! I can't wait for this!!!! I think it will carry the weight!!!
I'm not sure if the show is great or even good, but I am 100% sure that I love every moment of it with such a passion, I'm halfway through and am savoring the experience. its so wonderful to get to revisit this world and I just cant describe my enthusiasm fro this cast and crew.
Oh man, that new rendition of Real Folk Blues at the end has me HYPED
Nah thats the same
@@kushandesai2611 it was not, actually.
God bless you Yoko. Thank you for sharing your vibrant and touching music with the world. I personally feel like your songs changed my life and I was never the same hearing them
“I love that one, but I’m gonna redo it.”
Yes to this. Absolutely yes to this.That’s the spirit of jazz, and that was the spirit of Cowboy Bebop to begin with. A horrible shame that most of those who saw this reboot couldn’t see it the same way: I thought the reboot was absolutely fantastic, but most of those who saw it seem to think it was bad purely on account on deviating from the original. Which is ironic, since the whole spirit of the original anime was to improvise, have fun, and create something new. I’m convinced the near entirety of the hate the reboot is getting is an outgrowth of people simply refusing to understand it.
An excellent POV. I 100% agree. Jazz is fluid and organic. Let the adaptation be like it.
From what I've seen people are hating it based on snippets that were individually really awful. While it's not exactly fair towards the show as a whole, I think fans were already prepared for it to differ from the original anime (though I haven't seen the new one so I'm not going to cast judgement or anything)
@@woomy8971 There were also a lot of people who didn't watch it through, or colored their opinion so early that they didn't recognize what was happening as the show progressed (especially a lot of the comments I've seen about Julia). This, also kind of ironically, mirrors how a lot of people see Jazz - if you don't take in an entire song/set/album before you pass judgement, sometimes you miss the most beautiful parts of it. Cowboy Bebop's always had an advantage in this department in that it leads with "Tank!" which is easy for anyone to think fondly of, and is why it's actually been an entry point to Jazz for younger audiences.
No, it was bad because it was BAD. See, Yoko is an artist that understands her music and bebop, so when she chose to redo it she did it RIGHT. Everyone else involved in the show didn't have a GD clue, which is why it was a complete mess. Don't drag Yoko into your flawed argument.
I actually like the reboot. Kinda expected that they will deviate from the original which I saw when I was in elementary.
Yoko Kanno is the best japanese compositor of video game and anime music!!
If there's a gathering of the greatest composers in history, there would be a seat with Yoko Kanno's name on it.
Me in 2007: trying to download every scrap of Yoko Kanno /Seatbelts I can find off Limewire, thinking the cartoon will slowly sink into history and her music will never be heard again…. 2021: weeping at her superstardom
Getting Yoko Kano to do this was like getting Hans Zimmer to score American Pie, Nutballs!
perfectly perfected.
0:56 3 years ago, during COVID? Guess it really hit Japan differently...
Hearing The melody for The real folk blues at the end, such nostalgia.
Yoko coming in to doing the soundtrack for the live action series was the thing that cemented my viewership. Her music with the Seatbelts is practically the lifeblood of the original series. The story was amazing, but the music brought the series to the pinnacle of greatness that no other anime has yet reached. Cowboy Bebop is the standard in Anime. If the soundtrack to the live action didn’t match to that of the Anime, it wouldn’t have worked at all. I’m glad somebody at Netflix was smart enough to recognize that.
"the music is so ahead of it's time"
I think someone will have to explain Bebop to Julia's actress
That being said, I'm so glad to see The Seatbelts performing! Hope there's new LPs coming with this adaptation
Actors are a clueless bunch, what can we expect?
Yep she doesnt have any idea of what she was talking about
That's what Y.Kanno and the Sealtbeats deserve!
The attention and stage to be able to present your masterpiece to a million audience again!
Thanks to Netflix and even if the series doesn't come close to the original I'm just glad that it exists and that I can watch, hear AND feel it again!
Yoko Kanno is a national treasure for Japan
She composed and conducted the current emperor's inaugural music, so you're not only not wrong but also OFFICIALLY not wrong.
I'd say of humanity if I'm allowed to stretch it
Hands down the music was the best part of the show, 11/10 on that part honestly
El soundtrack de Cowboy Bebop es de lo más hermoso ♥️
I had my hopes before the release because I love the anime. But when I saw the previews and heard the music I sat back and took a big sigh of relief. I knew it would be good...how good I didn't know, but the music is icon and fantastic. So happy to hear it again. Been watching it, and it is so good. True Cowboy Bebop.
One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates. 🎈
Namu!!!
Eric Miyashiro on Lead Trumpet is perfect 🔥
Yoko Kanno is really amazing! Love her work on Ghost in the Shell as well.
I last saw bebop a decade ago but I listen to its soundtrack every so often even today. You can never forget the sound once you watch bebop. I had to search a lot and wait for hours just to download a few of its songs over an infinitely slow dial up. I've since made sure every phone I've had since then had a copy of those songs
I don’t know I was really thinking the new show was going to be garbage but I’m actually pretty impressed so far
The music sounds so bright and fresh. I've always loved Cowboy Bebop's music, which feels like a whole character and environment, and having a new set of performances really shows how true that is. Yoko Kanno's legitimately a genius.
If you’re still on the fence about watching this, trust me: just watch it. It’s excellent stuff; like the music, there are some rearrangements; some things work well, some maybe a bit less so, but the spirit and feel of the original are very much present.
I’m looking forward to season 2.
My favorite of her's is the Macross Plus sound track. Absolutely love the music on that one.
AHHHHH THE NOSTALGIA
Jazz is so diverse with it's many extensions. I dug the music score. Reminded me of my Maynard Ferguson big band days when all our charts were, "Slam Bam Thank You Ma'am," kick ass.
3:00 Something so simple as holding out a hand as an invitation to the saxophone player to play that lick was powerful.
The music was on point , mad me nostalgic, need S2 ASAP!!
Her music often becomes so intertwined with the DNA of whatever she's working on that if you tried to resurrect the show without her music at best you'd have a body with little soul, if any at all. As others have noted, if anything the soundtrack is gonna be amazing.
Yoko kanno and yuki kajiura is a national treasure
You think this is good? Hear her music in ghost in a shell... My god that is a masterpiece.
Hell yeah. Inner Universe is mindblowing.
Stand alone complex will always bang.
Why compare? They're both masterpieces.
Or escaflowne and wolf rain. Actually wolf rain has one of those rare osts where you can just play the whole album without feeling like skipping anything. At least for me.
Thanks you for getting Yoko back. I'm going watch and support this show just for that
All hail the Queen.
I don't know if she'll ever see this, but I'll leave it just in case 😁
Thank you Yoko, everything you touch is gold
One of the greats!
For me, Cowboy Bebop is in a class by itself. Love the live Action, the actors for Spike and Jet are just perfect. The music is awesome...Yoko Kanno brings it to life. How much better could it be.
THE REAL FOLK BLUES IS BACK!!
Yoko Omg I been following her since the Macross Plus days she MADE A SOUNDTRACK man those were the good old days of anime. And she still looks good. 😍😍😍
Please Netflix, convince Yoko Kanno and Seatbelts to do a live tour of Bebop.
I second this
That part at the end of the opening theme with the Sax and drums always gets me hyped up !
Even if the live adaptation turns out to be a flop, there is one thing we can't deny at, the soundtrack is gonna be BOMB! Thank you Yoko! 💖
The Legend are back just like old days Spike....
Your gonna carry that weight. 💪
Great Music.
i really Love Japanese Songs & Anime!
Good taste
Kudos to Netflix for bringing back Yoko & The Seatbelts for the live action, it really shows the commitment and the respect
