2:32 Yoko and Mai dance routine... this is fucking GREAT!! It's got the same level of joy and giddiness in anger that Cee-Lo's "Fuck You" conveys, but 10+ years earlier. Go Yoko, you amazing trail-blaizer, you.
I love this song, but did anyone else notice that she mixed up the lyrics at 1:45? She should have said, "I took you to the ocean and we", but she repeated "So I took you to the movie". Either way, she has a great voice.
Hehe, you want energetic? Watch some of those 80s metal bands like Iron Maiden. Bruce is all over the stage :D But yes, Yoko is a very talented singer, and energetic.
xD Thanks man. Piece of Mind and Somewhere in Time are great albums. What I liked about the music I heard from the Cowboy bebop OST was the variety and quality. I couldn't say anything bad about them if I tried :P
My grandfather played big band music back after WWII. As bad as American music has become it's funny that music that good would come out of Japan. Man these guys are solid.
yeah your right kid its like whats up with rock music : indie rock metal numetal rap core all sounds like good ol rock and roll just like that sounds like some really nice jazz
After being nagged for ages to start watching Cowboy Bebop, I'm so glad that i had been cause not only is it a good anime, but i never would of got into the Seatbelts. Just awesome
The name "Cowboy Bebop" in the title isn't referring to the genre of music, it's referring to the anime that this song comes from, Cowboy Bebop. The whole show is littered with different styles of music ranging from opera to heavy metal and the title of every episode makes a reference to either a style of music, "Asteroid Blues", "Cowboy Funk", or the titles of songs, "Toys in the Attic", "Bohemian Rhapsody". If you've never seen anime, Cowboy Bebop is a good one to start with.
@moto715 Good call also Jet Black's converted Ganymede fishing trawler is called the Bebop and a line in the episode Gateway Shuffle, "Jet: Damn that blues harp sounds sweet; I knew it would. " - "Spike: I thought you liked jazz. " Whenever Spike is fighting too, bebop jazz is playing, such as : Clutch, What Planet Is This etc.
Her english is amazing? Was she raised around english speakers or did she just have a lot of practice and training. I heard this song before knowing the band or the singer any and seriously thought they were all american, or I shouldn't say that, but I didn't think they were Japanese born. Real shocker it was when I saw them. I love her mature voice and the band is just amazing.
hey fuck you. Dont just go around insulting japan like that. Maybe its the fact she's not famous in america. And guess what. Without japan you wouldnt have her so shut up.
i totally get what you mean. The stereotype is that female asian singers "sing high and sweet (minnie mouse-ish" like the singer from GOGO!7188 for ex.) when that's realy not true. Like the lead singer of "Jinn..." she has a "hard" voice.
does anyone know what the name/artist of the song that plays when ed and ein are looking for the black guy with glasses in knocking on heavens door. its the scene before she leaves trick or treating after telling fei she found their hideout or whatever?
i'm a very closeted singer...i've only ever done small back-up parts for my friends' recordings, but something about this song just makes me want to get up on a big stage and belt it out.
I've always been a singer, since I was a kid. One day I had the chance to get on stage as an amateur and sing a bit of the Ave Maria of Shubert, and it was one of my best experiences. Now I sing as a fan with some friends and it's just as good. Try it out, it's the best experience ever. Plus if you really enjoy a song and play the stage it's even better.
When I first heard her voice, it took some time for it to grow on me. But I love her, though Real Blues still my favorite song! ::singing along to song::
So wait... is the blue-topped woman singing Mai or Yoko? Please tell me she's Mai... I want Yoko to be more cool and laid-back, not a flashy stage whoore :'(
and there you have an excellent singer... and not to mention that her english is freaking awesome
