Anime: Cowboy Bebop
OST: Cowboy Bebop OST 4 Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1998)
[audio]

Cowboy Bebop (カウボーイビバップ, Kaubōi Bibappu) is a Japanese animated television series. Directed by Shinichiro Watanabe and written by Keiko Nobumoto, Cowboy Bebop was produced by Sunrise. Consisting of 26 episodes, the series follows the adventures of a group of bounty hunters traveling on their spaceship, the Bebop, in the year 2071.

Cowboy Bebop was a commercial success both in Japan and international markets, notably in the United States. After this reception, Sony Pictures released a feature film, Knockin' on Heaven's Door to theaters worldwide and followed up with an international DVD release. Two manga adaptations were serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Asuka Fantasy DX.

Cowboy Bebop has been strongly influenced by American music, especially the jazz movements of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s and the early rock era of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Many of its action sequences, from space battles to hand-to-hand martial arts combat, are set and timed to music. Following the musical theme, episodes are called Sessions, and titles are often borrowed from album or song names (such as Sympathy for the Devil or My Funny Valentine), or make use of a genre name ("Mushroom Samba") indicating a given episode's musical theme.

  • Actually, it's not really that dramatic of a change. Hip-hop's roots come directly from jazz and blues. It's just a different sound. I think the creator of Cowboy Bebop is brilliant in choosing both those selections of music because they can be very abstract yet beautiful at the same time. The mood really changes based on the music used. Samurai Champloo is quite a bit more radical than Cowboy Bebop, but it is also more serious, which is why it uses Jazz music. Simply amazing. Agreed.

  • Its amazing how the creater of cowboy bebop decided to take a huge turn from jazz to hip-hop rap in samuria champloo

  • I love getting down to this song. So smooth.

  • 3 people didn't ask their momma's

  • Like this if you remember playing sim city... 1 :P

  • @withey11 theres something familiar about jazz in hip hop... well maybe no these days

  • To say that the move from Bebop's soundtrack to Champloos was dramatic is selling the Bebop soundtrack short, listen to songs like Cosmic Dare, Mushroom Hunting, Want it All Back and even this one and you realize that calling Bebop's soundtrack Jazz is giving it way too little credit. Both Watanabe and Kanno have so much creative range, Bebop has Jazz, Blues, Funk, Metal, Ska and even some 21st century pop in it, and you can clearly see that such a move would be easy for Watanabe. He's a genius

  • Tried to do my homework to this song and couldn't read my notes 'cause my head wouldn't stop bobbing.

  • my favorite song fom the entire movie

    such a cool animation scene too

  • Walk down the street in a zoot suit while smokin a cigarette with your hands in your pockets while this song plays.

  • WHERE ITS AT?! thumbs up if u know...

  • @qosTheSuperman its true that jazz and blues helped make hip hop. but dancehall and reggae are more directly the roots.
