Released to the world as the opening theme of Cowboy Bebop, "TANK!" has remained an enduring classic-frequently featured in commercials and visual works, and loved across generations.
Now, a quarter century later, the iconic track receives a major update.
Premiered at Montreux Jazz Festival Japan 2024 and performed exclusively live ever since, "TANK! Extended" takes the original to an entirely new dimension. Performed, of course, by the original members of SEATBELTS, this super-long version lets listeners immerse themselves in Yoko Kanno's musical vocabulary like never before.
A new "TANK!" that redefines the original.

Yoko Kannoの他のリリース
SEATBELTS
A legendary superband led by composer, arranger, and music producer Yoko Kanno, known to occasionally descend upon Earth. They are best known for performing the theme "Tank!" from the anime COWBOY BEBOP. Although their activities date back to the late 19th century, they are highly elusive, and sightings are rare. The band name comes from the fact that, despite being hardcore session musicians, they wear seatbelts for safety when traveling through space. The lineup is fluid and often features some of Japan's top musicians, including a dog. Their next concert is planned for the 22nd century.
