Struggling as usual to make ends meet, our favorite space cowboys hope to nab some of the unusually high number of bounties that have been posted recently.

That is, except for Faye Valentine, who decides she would rather go hunting for a famous space pirate's hidden treasure instead. Faye leaves the Bebop and crosses paths with an inexperienced bounty hunter named Kent, who unknowingly possesses what may be the most significant clue to the treasure's location...

Meanwhile, Kent's hotheaded partner (and twin sister) Bianca butts heads with Spike as they pursue the same bounty. But after drawing the attention of a disgruntled ex-cop with an intense dislike of bounty hunters, Spike and Bianca find themselves reluctantly teaming up in order to survive.

COWBOY BEBOP: THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME is a feature-length "lost episode" adapted from the PlayStation 2 videogame "Cowboy Bebop: Serenade of Recollection" which was released in Japan in 2005. A US release was planned but ultimately cancelled. The game features voicework by the show's original cast and three new songs composed by Yoko Kanno ("Diamonds", "Pearls" and "Einstein Groovin'", all performed by Ilaria Graziano).
