SYNOPSIS

Bringing Yoko Kanno’s legendary Cowboy Bebop soundtrack back to life, this special project unites the original Seatbelts with an all-star lineup of international musicians. Produced by Mason Lieberman, the new recording reimagines The Real Folk Blues with the same smoky blues energy that made the anime’s ending theme unforgettable, while adding fresh arrangements and modern production. More than just a tribute, it’s a cross-generational collaboration that honors one of the most iconic anime soundtracks of all time and introduces it to a new audience of listeners and collectors alike.
