Yoko Kanno Returns as Composer for Live-Action Cowboy Bebop

By

It was announced during Netflix’s Geeked Week online special that the original composer for the Cowboy Bebop anime, Yoko Kanno, would be returned to write the OST for their live-action adaptation!

Netflix summarizes the live-action series as follows:

Based on the worldwide phenomenon from Sunrise Inc., Cowboy Bebop is the jazz-inspired, genre-bending story of Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Radical Ed: a rag-tag crew of bounty hunters on the run from their pasts as they hunt down the solar system’s most dangerous criminals. They’ll even save the world…for the right price.
