👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
![[Limbus Company - Teaser] Season5 - Oblivion](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8anKuEeZLeI/mqdefault.jpg)
THANK YOU for letting me know that this was a project composed by Yōko Kanno I guess the next time I revisit the project I'll be doing "SPACE LION"? ☕www.venmo.com/AbbaGeebz or paypal.me/abbageebz 🙏
Yaaaay! 😁 Can't wait! 🔥
Space Lion is amazing, Elm is another interesting one, but if you want more hard bop jazz check out their song NY Rush, the entire soundtrack (released over a few different CDs) has a huge range of genres which is super refreshing
Yoko Kanno is one of the best Japanese composers out there, every animation project she takes part in improves impressively. Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell, Terror in Resonance (which seems a big inspiration for Kevin Penkin), Arjuna, Escaflowne the movie, ... I can't name enough soundtracks composed by her that made those series well known. She also works with so many talented singers. She did work on another jazz soundtrack, Kids on the Slope.
COWBOY BEBOP SPOILER WARNING
...
Just so you know sir, Space Lion is the song that plays after our hero dies in the final episode, so it has a lot of emotional baggage for fans of the show (myself included).
@@EvilMAiq bro. Delete this man lol I’ve seen it but even though u said spoiler alert... geez 🙄
There's something legitimately charming about the way you look at a track. It doesn't feel like you're just doing all this for clout. You have an actual appreciation for the work you're hearing that goes beyond "I know I like it" and into "I know why I like it."
Watching your stuff is always comparatively wholesome compared to other folks who do similar content. Keep at it.
Thank you very much, that was a very nice comment And now I have a big smile on my face😁
Full agree! This man musics :)
10000% this. I'm subscribing because watching his reactions is like listening to these for the first time again and that's an awesome experience to get to have. I'm honestly thankful hes doing what he does.
Agreed. Watching someone who COULD appreciate this at a different level than I, and explain why... Thanks Geebz. I really love that you do this for all of us music curious nerds. Whoever is advising you on song choices too is definitely doing just spot on. Might I humbly suggest the minecraft Pigstep Arrangement from insaneintherainmusic? Featuring original composer, Lena Raine. I kind of adore that its just a continuous build from the 1 minute mark in through the end. Would love to hear your take.
The director of this anime, Shinichirō Watanabe, has a very musical approach to his anime and the sound tracks are very integrated in the shows stylistically. His other works that demonstrate this well are Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy. They have radically different soundscapes but they really set the tone.
Samurai Champloo, yes!
Kids on a Slope as well?
Yeah Watanabe is an absolute lover of music, especially western music. all of his productions have a musical motif
Yes please, more people need to be exposed to the work of Nujabes.
@@johnnychopsocky Oh shit we need to get Geebz to listen to some Nujabes now!
Yoko Kanno is a hell of a composer, funny thing tho she wrote the OST for the series before the script was even finished so she almost set the tone for the series by herself.
Edit: awesome to hear about that Lalo Schiffrin memoirs, cheers from Argentina 👋
I'm pretty sure Watanabe's whole idea for Cowboy Bebop was always a series that felt like watching Jazz. There's no way he didn't already know what he wanted from Yoko Kanno. She just came in and killed it like usual.
Additional fun fact: Yoko Kanno isn't even a jazz fan! Yet she was still able to make such an incredible jazz soundtrack anyway
additional fun fact, shes a talentless hack that steals her music, this song included
@@Shreccz source?
> "Yoko Kanno is a hell of a composer"
I would even dare to say she is one of the best composers out there if not of all time. A real shame she is kind of unknown in the west!
Is it just me, or does this track sound like everyone's having an absolute blast playing it? You can't fake that infectious energy.
That's just how Jazz is, man. If you aren't feeling it then you aren't playing Jazz.
just as someone said (in a manga), "Jazz is all about the swing"
Oh they are absolutely feeling it, those guys are well known for having a blast playing this stuff.
He's also having a blast listening to it!
you can see the actual band playing this live. one at their concert and one they did during lockdown and yes they had a blast each time.
Always warms my heart seeing someone introduced to Cowboy Bebop for the first time. Kids on the Slope is another fantastic one from Yoko Kanno. Also, Trigun's opening is another fantastic instrumental from the late 90s.
Trigun is fabulous. Such a great Anime too! 🥰
Did she also do the soundtrack for FLCL?
@@TahoeNevada Negative. Yoko Kanno isn't credited w/ any of FLCL (OAV or Progressive). Though The Pillows did some amazing stuff for it. Blues Drive Monster is a favorite of mine.
@@superdave3093 Agreed. I'm personally not looking forward to Trigun Stampede though. The new animation look is different, but can't get behind how they've changed the feel of Vash and them cutting out Milly Thompson.
But I'll always have the original so it's all good!
@@BearStreamsWild Thanks. I was too lazy to Google.
I would love to hear a slow burn of tracks from this soundtrack. There is such an eclectic mix of styles and themes the seatbelts go through under the compositions of Yoko Kano, there is nothing that would disappoint. This is your wheelhouse Geebz. Thanks for giving it a listen.
HI WILLIAM!! Couldn't agree more!
@@rpgeebzmusicarcade When I was around ten years old, right at the turn of the century, I was introduced to Cowboy Bebop. I had been a fan of other anime, but this show changed how I viewed that art form. As well, the music was so eclectic, raw, and masterfully made that I went out and spent what little allowance I had on one of the OSTs from the local comic shop. To this day I know where that CD is in my collection, and I regularly throw the music on in the background while I work, clean, and so on.
I would love to see more of the show’s soundtrack from you. This was a joy to see, both in your reaction and professional input.
I second that, do the whole soundtrack.
@@rpgeebzmusicarcade Yesssss please
The entirety of the soundtrack for this show really is a masterpiece, in my opinion. The whole anime is just.. art, honestly. Beautiful and intricate.
I’m always glad to see someone get blown away the first time listening that like I did. It’s like reliving the moment all over again and it’s beautiful.
That is the main reason why I love watching reaction videos to music
Something I want to tell you about the anime creator, Shinichirō Watanabe, is the music always comes first. After that he builds the show around the music. So cowboy bebob is built around Jazz/Blues in a Space Western feel. His other shows are the same like Samurai Champloo is built around hip-hop. One of my favorite shows that he worked on is called "Kids on the Slope". That show is incredible just because of how much work the animators did to have people playing the music to be as accurate as they could. You should check out the "Jam Session" clip from the show its great.
The actual show opening song is a 90 second trimmed version of this that just blows your hair back. One of my favorite anime of all time. The show's creator went on to do a show called Samurai Champloo which also had incredible music by Nujabes, Fat Jon, and others more in the hip-hop genre.
Just wanna give a shout out to Shinichirō Watanabe, Cowboy Bebop's director. Although he doesn't write the scores, he has a fantastic way of synthesizing music with his story lines. Music is always a centerpiece.
Samurai Champloo centers around hip hop, and Carole & Tuesday deals with the future of pop music (in the Cowboy Bebop universe, no less). Great director. Great animes.
This song is so good it hurts. Shivers all the way down man.
Fun Fact: the sax solo in this song is 100% freestyle and is different in every performance
Yoko Kanno's music is amazing. I'm blessed to have heard it
I am glad to not being the only one who get that Lalo Schifrin's touch in this one! I grew up with his music, and also being in love with this anime and soundtrack since the premiere, in 1998! Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
One of the best animes of all time! Soundtrack by the seatbelts is equally excellent. Great choice!!
I really love these videos. I'm part of the gamer / anime community, and it's really cool seeing someone with your knowledge dissecting and appreciating things that wouldn't normally come across someone who's not part of the gaming / anime "community"
i'm still here, watching this reaction for the fourth time now and i'm still enjoying it 😎
During the lockdown they did a zoom performance of this song, it here on RUclips and it’s awesome.
One of the most iconic anime intro songs from the old generation. Such an amazing piece of work too, the anime I mean, as it is unlike anything else.
You really looked like you were just LOVING this lol. This is one of the most recognizable songs in all of anime and beyond, straight up ICONIC and awesome song
The Macross Plus soundtrack by Yoko Kanno is also amazing. Yoko Kanno is simply amazing. I don’t know if she gets help with translating things, but she has multiple songs that have lyrics in languages other than Japanese.
The guy who's playing the bongos is killing it.
I'm still here and I'll be coming back to this video in the future. It is always such a heart warming experience to see someone appreciate something that we already know and love. Besides that, you made an amazing analysis of a great song and I specially loved the piece about Lalo Schifrin. Keep up the good work!
As soon as I saw this in my youtube recommends (never heard of this channel before I’m definitely gonna check it out!) and I grokked what was going on, I assumed it would be a fun ride because anyone deep in music would HAVE to love Kanno’s genius, and it was a joy watching this man experience what is to most of us a beloved classic for the first time - but when he stopped the music (and I briefly feared he wasn’t gonna listen all the way to the end!) and said his dad used to hang with LALO SCHIFFRIN!! 😮 As a longtime fan of great movie soundtracks now in my 6th decade, I was of course very well acquainted with Lalo’s work! I watched this while eating dinner but it’s good I didn’t have a drink in my mouth when he said that; I probably would have done a cartoon spit-take! 😅
I'm still here!
Never heard the full song of Cowboy Bepop but it gives me a lot of 'Cuphead' OST vibes, most of those music tracks have that same bigband vibe as this, 'Floral Fury' being a great example.
Also in terms of other anime, 'One Piece' has a large backlog of great music in both it's openings and in the show itself ranging from fun to emotional, especialy when paired with the visuals.
I played this for my parents one time and they said it reminded them of a private detective show from the 60's from the 70's. I think it might have been the show Mannix but, either way, Jazz and that beatnik r&b blues kinda sound was very big in Japan, and still is.
Cowboy bebop is absolute legend in anime. Everything action jokes music romance it is top tier. Nice to see others still enjoying it even after so long.
I'm still here, and I absolutely LOVE Real Folk Blues; also by the Seatbelts. I really hope he checks that track out, too!
You can make an entire channel for Yoko and her composing.
70's TV action shows knew how to lay down a funky groove
Grew up watching this anime as a kid.. the reason I joined jazz band in school was this song . Lol could never play my trumpet like they rip but still inspiring
Ohh the pain when he cut right before the finale!! OMG!
PS. Editing that it wasn't the finale, was the solo. I was exited, and maybe the coffee too.
You should check out their 2020 virtual session. Watching them play is great
We all knew that you'd love this haha
CB is a complete masterpiece
Not every soundtrack earned it, but this one earns a vinyl purchase, there's few if any tracks that aren't absolute bangers.
The entire OST is amazing, would love if you listen to more!
This is one of my top 5 songs I like to return to time and time again whenever I need a pick-me-up. This song, a cup of strong coffee, a warm sun shining to my face? That'll get me started and my inspiration running guaranteed. I love to listen to this while out running too; really puts a smile on my face and sweat on my brow as I try to set my pace to the beats of the song. And yes, I've caught myself dancing to this thing more times than I care to count - a few times in public too.
Cowboy Bebop is one of my favorite anime out there. Glad you love the music in it
There's a recording on here of a live performance by the band, highly recommend. It's a great performance.
The steak joke. "... Whatever culture you're in, except India..." killed me.
I’m still here! And this was a joy to watch :D
I'm a french guy and I don't know why RUclips suggested your channel to me but I love watching you discovering, and enjoying, some of my favorite music like the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack (all Yoko Kanno's music is
The Gundam Thunderbolt December Sky soundtrack is composed by that same saxophone soloist, and he does some wonderful stuff with free jazz.
26 episodes. Every episode was based around a different musical style, all written by Yoko Kano. Incredible series. Watch the Seatbelts live, they put on a great show.
I'm still here & Cowboy Bebop Forever ...
Glad you enjoyed the jam. I love all the music in show.
This song played over the opening credits of each episode of the show, and you really should watch that opening sequence with the music. They were designed to work together. The animation style in the opening credits really set the tone for the show and had a real retro 60's action film feeling. This is the one opening credits song I never skip even when binge-watching several episodes back to back.
I'm still here, and it was a joy to watch you enjoy this.
"I'm still here" and thankful for once the algorithm sent me something good. Watching you mentally isolate the instruments, the light in you eyes processing, was so fun. I've played this song for jazzheads and newbie anime fans, and the reactions have been similarly joyful. Should you have time, and can find it, there's a live concert of CB music that is also fun--the audience energy is SO HYPE especially for this song.
Off to peep more of your channel!
eta: you knew Lalo. WOW.
I was so excited when I saw you did this one. Your face says everything.
Mate, that intro was nothing but truth and it's super refreshing to hear. Definitely got a sub out of me. Well said.
Just got Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack on Vinyl for Christmas and this song has been one of my favs for such a long time Cowboy bebop was the 1st anime I ever brought myself and it was the boxset on dvd back when i was still at school so had to save those dollars been a fav of mine for such a long time
you rock man love your reactions keep the good vibe and vids happy holidays
Watch the intro for Cowboy Bebop with this music playing and you'll get to appreciate it on a whole other level
There are a couple of videos on RUclips of the band playing this live
Tank! so absolutely encapsulates the spirit of Cowboy Bebop - a spacefaring mashup between James Bond and spaghetti westerns. You've got the old-school jazz from the earlier James Bond films fused with the 'narrative' ballads from the spaghetti westerns, with something of a Cuban flair for added zest. Not sure what the proper musical term is, but each 'segment' is like a scene from an epic tale; while a lot of music 'embraces the destination', Tank! 'embraces the journey' - Opening; Inciting Incident; Call to Action; Rising Stakes; Climax; Denouement. No specific narrative, but the overarching sense that you've experienced an entire story within a few minutes.
Cowboy bebop has been one of my top three animes for something like 20 years now, and hearing you talk about the amazing soundtrack is so refreshing. Your love of music is infectious sir.
It’s always interesting how relatively small things can make all the difference. This would be a good tune either way, but even though it’s the horns and bass leading it, it would be a very different tune without those bongos. (And for that matter the spoken intro - I’ve heard covers without it, and there’s something about it’s absence that really takes away from the whole.)
Tank! is one of my favorite songs. There is just so much going on, that you can listen to it several times and keep finding different, interesting things happening. I think that there might be value in watching, not for a video, but for yourself, the Tank! Virtual Session that The Seatbelts posted to their RUclips channel a couple of years ago.
Cono hondas, che! The opening credits this goes with is a visual feast and pure 70s
"Did I talk too much?" nah, man. that's what i'm hear for. if i wanted to, i could just listen to tank without the commentary for the millionth time. lol. great reaction. love your musical insight. especially about the percussion stuff. i don't think about the percussion often when listening to this track bc there's so much happening.
In highschool I was part of a music camp I was on the vocal half, the other half were jazz musicians. At the end of camp everyone partnered up and did solo riffs with eachother(singer+jazz player) me and my partner both loved this song and figured out the riff at the end as ours still a favorite
The rhythm section in this group is on point this is one of my favorite intros of all time
The band The Seatbelts were brought together by Yoko Kanno (the composer for Bebop and many very acclaimed TV, Movie, game and anime soundtracks). They're basically an international ensemble from myriad different genres. Which is reflected in Bebop's soundtrack, covering everything from Jazz and Bebop, classical orchestral pieces all the way to bubblegum pop. They still play today occasionally, a quarter of a century after Bebop released. Their members contain musicians from America, Japan, France, Georgia, and even some guests vocalist from relatively mainstream bands (Steve Conte who does a lot of the English vocal songs was the singer for the New York Dolls).
Great stuff.
if you wanna check it out, Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts did a live (remote) session of this song during the pandemic like a year or so ago, its worth a listen/watch.
Oh, Geebz, the music for this series goes hand in hand with the show in a way I've never seen before or after.
Each episode is founded on a different genre or subgenre of music which complements and sets the mood of the episode. It's bizarre and intensely creative.
You'd get a kick out of the whole soundtrack. The show too, really, to see how the music blended with - and inspired - the action.
I follow anime music since the '60s and videogame music ever since. You can't imagine the amount of great music in those sectors. It will be great for you to enjoy the exploration in those sectors.
I'm still here! Love the content!
Goosebumps... every... time.
If you listened Cowboy Beebop's Tank, you definitley have to listen another composition. From Samurai Champloo, called Shiki no Uta. Samurai Champloo is an anime series, made same person as Cowboy Beebop - Shinichirō Watanabe. He's absolute genius. Visuals in anime is perfect. The soundtrack of the Samurai Champloo is unique. Some of compositions made by Nujabes - beatmaker known as father of Lo-Fi hiphop music. A lot of talanted composers worked on that soundtrack.
I never noticed the bass response part during the sax solo; nice job picking out the ques! It's at 6:45 in the video, and I think at 2:10 in the original song.
Soon as I saw you were doing Tank! I knew you were gonna love it, it' has such an old-school feel to it.
I just started watching this show, 1 episode to go!
Great show, wish I got to it sooner.
1.5 minutes of this is used for the intro btw
Love the opening to this song. Finally watched the show recently. Lots of great music in the series.
Forgot to say, the full song is even better than just the chunk from the intro. Good stuff
Still here!
Some other great songs from the cowboy bebop OST are:
Call me, call me
Blue
Space Lion
Appreciate this vid
I'm still here ;) A pleasure as always, Geebz!
I’m so happy this wonderfully frenetic, energetic piece of pure joy, glorious introduction that it is to such a classic anime, has brought you so much pleasure. Anime in general has some of the most astounding soundtracks. If you’ve not heard any of the openers for Full Metal Alchemist (FMA) or Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood I highly recommend them. They change with each season, reflecting the mood and tone of the story. Every time I rewatch them, Rewrite by Asian Kung Fu Generation and Undo by Cool Joke haunt me for months.
The coolest show opening ever !
This is Yokko Kanno at her best!!! she moved to the states to learn jaz and she doesn't speak english. So dope!
Played this in highschool jazz band, loved the fast pace and excitement this song had
"Once upon a time, in New York City in 1941... at this club open to all comers to play, night after night, at a club named 'Minston's Play House' in Harlem, they play jazz sessions competing with each other. Young jazz men with a new sense are gathering. At last they created a new genre itself. They are sick and tired of the conventional fixed style jazz. They're eager to play jazz more freely as they wish then... in 2071 in the universe... The bounty hunters, who are gathering in the spaceship 'BEBOP', will play freely without fear of risky things. They must create new dreams and films by breaking traditional styles. The work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called... COWBOY BEBOP" --The opening credits of Cowboy Bebop
CB is a great show for old guys too. Give it a watch, you'll thank yourself.
Just watched the Mannix show’s theme and the imagery was incorporated for Cowboy Bebop’s theme. Definitely a Lalo inspired vibe.
It was great to see your reaction to this. I knew I was in for a great reaction.
You can feel that Bulitt theme. Awesome video.
I love enjoying your discoveries and how do you react so passionate about new things! Keep going!
If you like this you NEED to react to the Pepsiman theme. That song absolutely shreds. Unironically one of the best super hero themes
I love your reaction to Tank, but your Genuine personality and reaction really won me over to subscribe. Thank you!
I would also suggest doing The Real Folk Blues also from Cowboy Bebop, The Seatbelts, and Yoko Kanno.
Love the Lalo Schifrin tidbit brother!! I'm from Argentina lol
Welcome to the wonderful world of yoko kanno a legend in the biz. Also they are called the seatbelts because they played so passionately they would fall out their chairs so they wore seatbelts when they played. Well that's the story anyway.
Geebz, your joy at this music is a palpable thing. It's wonderful. Don't ever change.
I love that you pronounced MANGA and ANIME correctly… from an old geek to an old composer!
I know i' m late and i've known this anime for years but it just popped up in my mind. It's definitely Michel Legrand inspired, the french great soundtrack composer. Really
Now that you've done Tank! by The Seatbelts and Yoko Kanno from Cowboy Bebop, it would be great if you could react to Guns & Roses by Paradise Lunch (the intro to the anime series Baccano! - also nothing to do with the US rock band), and Paraiso by Soil & "Pimp" Sessions (the intro to the anime series Michiko & Hatchin).
Both Baccano! and Michiko & Hatchin are very different to the usual anime fare in that the first was set in the US in the 1920's/'30s, while the latter was overtly South American with many non-white characters.
Loved this so much! I love your energy in these videos and it genuinely makes my mood better.
If it isn’t much of a burden, I do have a request and it’d be to listen to some of the “Genshin Impact” OST, I highly suggest the Inazuma track or the Scaramouche boss fight. Honestly one of if not my most favourite modern orchestral music.
Whole soundtrack is fantastic. The show is worth a watch too, dubbed or subbed. Definitely more appreciated now that I'm pushing 30 and not still in school like when I first watched it.
Best anime EVER! with a very best soundtrack as well. Huge fan here! Also Samurai Champloo has a great soundtrack, different style of, but masterpiece. I just think everything Watanabe does simply makes it absolutely at its finest.
First time being exposed to this channel. Hands down the most genuine and wholesome music reaction channel I've ever seen. Can't wait to see more. Probably gonna binge watch the whole channel lol. Definitely earned my sub
