Green Bird, Piano Bar, etc - Cowboy Bebop

[eche1986]

Thank you very much for uploading, thank you.

[waitweredreaming]

4:00 gives me tingles everytime.

[CharAznable94]

Keanu Reeves sort of worked in a Shinichiro Watanabe production. Remeber Kid's Story in The Animatrix, it was directed Watanabe and Reeves provided his voice in the english dub.

[anadus7]

I used to love animes. All kinds of random anime. Gundam Love Hina Bleach Naruto even Haruhi (cringe).

Then I watched Cowboy Bebop. After that, somehow, animes just dont quite cut it anymore. In fact, you could say that I 'grew up' after finishing Bebop.

[Cervan]

@anadus7 Wtf.. saying that Haruhi was a bad anime is blasphemous! the movie has some of THE best anime OSTs ive ever seen comparable to Darker than black and wolfs rain! not to mention the animation in the movie was ASTOUNDING let alone the PLOT!. Please, piss off

[anadus7]

@Cervan I admit. Haruhi has always been nicely animated. It is by no means a bad anime. It's just that (imho) it seems to cater to a certain kind audience, the extreme otakus.

Bebop, on the other hand, is on a another plane altogether. It transcends anime.

[lethiac]

Is there any place where I can get sheet music for this?

[darkmegaman44]

Wonderful Q.Q

[nahrubwg]

I like the video though it's in bloody bad quality with some shaky hand video capturing.

But somehow it gives impression of classic.

luckily the sound is still in the awesome condition that gives cool, and stylish feeling.

Out of reality into fantasy as an old lady narrated a blues fairytale story for a wandering tired old soul

Thanks for the video man.

and this lady is awesome!!!

[stopislamophobia]

the ending to this video was my reaction too.

[threewhitetears]

Green Bird is such a beautiful song.

[Edenhyde246]

really really want sheet music for piano black

[Mythezza]

@Edenhyde246 The sheets for this medley have this version in it, if you're interested. Piano Black is easily the hardest part of this medley. :)

[computerfreaq17]

Wish I could play like that!

[burnsasgoauld]

She is simply amazing !

You have to in order to pack so much awesomeness in a little more than 7 minutes !

[ScreaminCat11]

Amazing songs already, but made extra special here!

[OldBoyAdam]

Where can I find this music? I want to learn to play it. It's great.

[Mythezza]

@OldBoyAdam I have sheets - the comment saying as much has been lost. Go ahead and message me your email and I can send it along.

[eyepoo]

Even imagining being there blows my mind.

[WaywardBrigand]

ELM on piano is just...

So damned beautiful.

[Mythezza]

@WaywardBrigand The very first day I printed off the sheets, I sat down to sight read through what I could. When I hit the part that begins at 3:31, I'm not ashamed to admit that hearing it come from -me- brought tears to my eyes. :)

[Clutterslut]

<3 She is my favorite

[GargantuanHunter]

Piano Black!!!! :D

[spikelive]

SIMPLY ... A GENIUS!!thanks for sharing this video! Cowboy bebop is the best anime series ever also because of yoko kanno music!without her music....Spike could not have lived!!

ciao cheers greetings from italy

[grimjack28]

the fake fighting scene just made me fall in love I think.

[kwizzeh]

The piano medley can be found on CB Boxed Set CD4 along with other live cuts from the same show I believe.

[gakodomi]

I wish i was in her concert.

[tesstricks]

I watch/listen to this all the time.

What I like best (aside from the music, of course) is how the audience stays completely silent until the end. No one even dares to cough while she's playing.

[DMonkey123]

OHH YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[DMonkey123]

Oh, c'mon..plain awesome.

I wish so much the whole sheet music of that medley =\

[Mythezza]

@DMonkey123 I have sheets of the entire medley. :) Message me for them!

[boredone6]

@Mythezza Hi, can I have the sheet music you were talking about? personal message me please? I particularly want to play piano black, it is absolutely amazing.

[twistedjazzman]

The ELM version on here is just beyond amazing. I just love it.

[twistedjazzman]

Wow 1188 likes. I really do fell bad about the 17 deaf people though. What a shame

[paresseuxenrage]

Fun fact : when the directors of Cowboy Bebop received the music, it was completely off to what they already produced and animated. But rather than firing Yoko and asking someone else to do the music, they decided to start fresh and remake everything according to Yoko's tune.

Thumbs up if you're glad they didn't fired her !

[Kougeru]

@paresseuxenrage Completely untrue lol. Bebop is based off other material, and follows it quite well. Also she was already a well known composer before hand..they wouldnt fire her.

[paresseuxenrage]

@Kougeru

I read it in an interview with Shin'ichiro Watanabe which was about the music and directing process, so i'm basically just quoting the guy.

Also, if they asked Kanno to change its music, we wouldn't have now what we know as Bebop. In that case it doesn't really make a difference who makes the music.

[ShadowCrashed81]

@paresseuxenrage THEY DIDN'T FIRED HER

[Riquelme1986]

17 people are retarded in this planet. that's a certainty.

[0sprite0]

yoko come to hawaii and perform here so many ppl here luv cowboy bebop bc of the music

[Kagebushin01]

gotta say Bebop wouldnt be what it is without the music

[daking34able1]

beautiful

[xPurplyFuNx]

love the strong base 5:50-6:10

meanwhile the piano dies of over-exposure to talent *-* ....

[XMRWIGGLEZX]

She started off playing "Farewell Blues" :]

[Animeche]

This woman it's awesome *-* Just love her♥

[CamusCris]

I'd marry her any time even when she's 46 lol this is MAGIC!

[Drumroll418]

Oooooh! Yes! Most underrated Cowboy Bebop song EVER!

2:41 - 3:53

Elm.

You should all listen to the actual song if you haven't. Hell yes. Beautiful.

[davidbodom22]

god all the music from bebop is so amazing, especially these pieces. it makes me get misty eyed listening. and whoever posted this is music for the soul i agree 110 percent! i remember when i was 18 i got locked up in jail for about 6 months and i swear to god all her music really got me through that time.

[GravityGrave]

bwahaha I love that slam at the end, it's not on key or anything, but it's so Yoko and SO perfect <3

[antimatterseries]

Absolutely amazing. So happy to actually see her perform. Her work has been so influential. You can even hear it influence American motion picture scores.

[deathraydezarezz]

oh wow, at first i thought that was a shirtless man playing. sorry yoko, i love your music

[asteriskate]

@deathraydezarezz i thought that at first too XD lol... poor yoko . her music is truly amazing :D

[tattoofthesun]

i watch this video so much. it soothes my damn soul

[Stinaisachibi]

i can't wait to learn how to play like that. i'd play it all day.

[malkani17]

i would give my left nut to play like that

[WorldWalker128]

The guitar has power to the sound it makes, eletric or not, but there's just something about the piano and or Violin that pulls at the Soul-Strings, you know?

[WorldWalker128]

[dfuzz1114]

mary me yoko kano !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[undergroundgod777]

Beautiful

[MrUnique101]

Yoko Kanno is simply amazing.

[h0henhiem]

this is brilliant. kanno can be a bitch if she wants. you go compose shit like this.

[Animeche]

@h0henhiem You can't call her a bitch ._.

[K1w1Fu]

The most versatile composer I've ever heard! She's what I've always wanted to be; a musician that can't be classified!

[ozayyyyxx]

from 2:32 i fell in love...just beautiful

[Sa200412]

what is the name of this music in 2:31 ?

[ozayyyyxx]

@Sa200412 its ELM that song motivated me to learn guitar

[aussieconservative]

@Sa200412 elm! sounds totally different in this version than the series though

[GravityGrave]

the 18 people who gave this a thumbs down should have their hearing removed... permanently.

[K1w1Fu]

@GravityGrave - actually, I think they've already had their ears removed...

[GravityGrave]

touche

[Animeche]

@GravityGrave That's right!

[Darknanard]

awesone!

[d46494949]

ハリウッド版も菅野洋子が音楽に関わって欲しい。

そしてこれに便乗してまたライブをやって欲しいなぁ。

[aussieconservative]

WHOA = keanu's contribution to acting.

[lostpinguin]

awesome music. love it.

[bobobob1230]

Is this off of a DVD?

[homeworld4]

Anyone got sheet music for the first song?

[catra195]

the 2nd song is piano black

[clanwsdarkside]

is there a good quality mp3 of this? so yes can someone send me a link :)

[aussieconservative]

nah there isnt a good recording of this. Ive been dying to play elm on my stereo cause its a good one but there is only a crackly nasty mp3 floating around.

[MEnTuLE]

you can find this song as "09. Piano solo" in the fourth CD of the Boxset... try and search for this ;) and excuse me for my English *

[clanwsdarkside]

ah oke ty man np for engelish its youtube im not a an asshole who makes a big problem of that :P

[MEnTuLE]

=) bye man, enjoy music!

[RubTheKid]

dood,my 2nd 5-star!Yoko is awesome!my piano inspiration *-*

[Stinaisachibi]

@sky9ross this is the original player. Yoko Kanno composed and played them herself >>

[bajorno]

whoa, when she gets to green bird... i lose it hehehe

[elledeegee]

I hope if there IS a live action Cowboy Bebop movie as I here there might... she has to do the music or it will definitely suck whether or not they find good actors or not.

[mariveles]

i guess u never heard that Keanu Reeves might play Spike? lol

[Galatea20]

please noooooooooooooo

[hand2handc]

@mariveles Keanu Reeves definitely looks very similar to Spike Spiegel. I'm not sure of personality though... Please Keanu Reeves, change your acting style to match Spike's or I'm going to leave the theatre half way through the movie!

[Thesixthgoon]

@hand2handc

For Keanu to change his acting style, he'll need to get one first.

[mcjollyman]

Burn. I say James Franco all the way.

[batosai370]

Yeah, he'd be good. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Lookout, Brick, 500 Days of Summer) would also make a decent Spike.

[hellraiza81]

@hand2handc

Yeah but spike was 27. Keanu is damn nearly 50 years old. I''d hope they'd go with a younger unknown actor than keanu

[consegleo]

id be perfect 6'4 black air sigh!!

[L337v1n337]

@hellraiza81 but he doesnt age

[neperazo]

i can play 2:32-4:50 ^^... terribly but still can

[Buggaton]

don't suppose you got sheet music for it? :)

[luluhus]

2:32 catches me off gaurd...Just awesome

[Buggaton]

which other version? Can you link me?

[Lordmiguel]

she is a wonderfull musician and player as well O.o I love her, OMG, I would like to play something like that some day...

[QuickMovieReviews]

This woman is brilliant and needs to be more well known in the states!

[Kayra]

original piano ELM!! T^T

[XxNanakoxX]

beautiful.......

[Acepryus]

2:32 haunts me

[DirtyPotterOfficial]

I love that part of the piece as well. It seems like a lot of people do. I wonder why that one in particular?

[matmiester]

2:32... OMG...

[janvanroyen]

greets from Belgium, werkelijk schoon

[godennyh11]

You shouldn't call Yoko Kanno a "bitch"

[GravityGrave]

@godennyh11 "shouldn't"?! That's like, an automatic death sentence for saying such a thing D:

[RekotShpotSirhc]

@GravityGrave It ought to be. :( For shame on some people :(

[ungovernable13]

@godennyh11 i agree with you, everyone here should the same amount of respect that you have for all your fav bands out there music is not easy to produce at all it takes skill talent and most of all time

[ShadowCrashed81]

@godennyh11 You shouldn't say certain words because certain people find them offensive. Quit with the ultra PC bullshit.

[QuickMovieReviews]

Well, thank show her some respect!

[dragons2k100]

awesome

[vejitasam]

Love Yoko Kanno!

[LunateLights]

yes, there is sheet music to this; someone went along and transcribed this entire performance apparantly.

[blackcricket08]

i can only say one thing about this... beautiful

[paraszpinak]

I will not provide you links for sheets (because that's illegal) but I will tel you this: It's really easy to find those sheets on Google. (For free, of course.)

[WcSpecter]

anyone know where to get the sheet music for this?

[scrye493]

Might not exist. o_O Time to train your ears. ;)

[Cronquist]

2:30

[MrMuffin0111]

[ruckusman333]

5/5 and faved! music like this makes me want to visit Japan

[LordTetsuoShima]

She is one of the best composers i have ever listened to.

Cowboy Bebop's soundtrack is so beautiful. My favorite is Goodnight Julia and Space Lion... Green Bird is very good too.

video= *****

[Channel05]

Yoko Kanno is amazing! The soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop for me is the best anime album out there.

I wish she came to the states to play. I would so go to one of her concerts.

[filly07]

I don't know what my life would be like had I not discovered Yoko Kanno. Seriously. She is one of the most brilliant composers of our time!! AWESOME!!

[paraszpinak]

Amazing performance of 'Piano Bar'. Just outstanding.

[deadphotomac]

green bird is great

[niteowl9491]

I listen to Cosmos, ELM and Green Bird almost every night--puts me right to sleep :)

[Boboua]

Damn she's amazing! I love the cowboy bebop soundtracks so much!

[pyro2020]

4:02 Green Bird Best Song ever

[BlacK00StaR]

[TadhgDagis]

I love 2:08 in.

[IslesFan1989]

Ah my comments are posting multiple times!

Regardless, this performance is amazing!

[manveruppd]

Is that the composer playing? She's younger than I pictured her! I got this performance as part of the boxed set, but I had no idea there were videos of it! Is it an official recording or a bootleg? If it's official, can you buy it on DVD from anywhere?

[usubypopo]

she is Yoko Kanno is 45 years old.

this is from last live in shibuya.

it`s official.

"FUTURE BLUES"(DVD)

(36 us $)

[KUANIART]

[shincyriades]

Wow...I wish I had been there with a glass of wine and a good cigar.

[Panda0rem]

true, I regret not being able to hear that song live, must be a lifetime experience

[SericX]

I was discussing with a friend how much we'd be willing to pay to see the bebop soundtrack performed live. Price came out to roughly £70-90 each. Wish they'd do another tour, I'm sure they'd get a welcome reception.

[enzo321]

lol its brilliant cause its by the composerr herselfff lol (=

[moreblack]

Brilliant rendidion of Elm on here.

Brilliant everything.

[pattern]

Brilliant

[sexydracice]

Amazing!

[BarbozaGuy]

Bravo! Your music brings me tears =D

[ratopal]
