She has written scores for famous animated works, including "Macross Plus", "Turn A Gundam", "Cowboy Bebop", "The Vision of Escaflowne", "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex", "Wolf's Rain", and is the most trusted composer by veteran and new-wave directors such as Yoshiyuki Tomino, Shinichiro Watanabe and Shoji Kawamori. Kanno has also composed music for pop artists, the most notable being 坂本真綾 (Maaya Sakamoto) and 小泉今日子 (Kyōko Koizumi). She is also a skilled keyboardist, and is the frontwoman for シートベルツ (Seatbelts), who perform many of Kanno's compositions on the various original soundtracks for which she is responsible.

Some of her most famous soundtrack themes include "Voices" (Macross Plus), "The Real Folk Blues" (Cowboy Bebop), "Yakusoku wa Iranai" (Escaflowne), "Gravity" (Wolf's Rain), and "Inner Universe" (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex). She was the lead member of the project band called The Seatbelts, which regrouped in the year of 2004 to compose the soundtrack of the PlayStation 2 Cowboy Bebop video game, released in Japan in 2005.

Her early career includes her part in the jazz band てつ100％. She has composed for many Koei games released during the late 1980s to early 1990s and for Napple Tale, a Dreamcast game. Due to her close involvement in the Cowboy Bebop anime, the game released by Bandai also features her work.

Apart from anime and games, Kanno also composes for live-action films and television commercials. Some popular brands she has composed for are Canon, DoCoMo, Fuji Xerox, Seven-Eleven, Microsoft, Nissan, Toyota, Shiseido, Avon, and Master Card to name a few. Grand Funk Inc. is her recording studio of choice in producing for these two media. Contributions to films started in the 90s but only since 2002 has there been a trend towards the medium. Most of the latter were shown in international film festivals.

She has attended Otakon and Anime Expo in 1999, as well as Anime Expo New York in 2002. In 2010, she made a surprise appearance at Anime Expo.

Apart from anime and games, Kanno also composes for live-action films and CMs (television advertisements or commercials) for all sorts of brands. Grand Funk Inc. is her recording studio of choice in producing for these two media. Contributions to films started in the 90s but only since 2002 has there been a trend towards the medium. Most of the latter were shown in international film festivals.
In addition to Japanese, she speaks very little English and some French, but claims that her English is "poor" and she needs translation help to converse in French.

She was married to fellow composer Hajime Mizoguchi, with whom she collaborated on the soundtracks for Please Save My Earth and The Vision of Escaflowne. They divorced in 2007.

Gabriela Robin is a pseudonym that Kanno occasionally uses when she performs vocals. For a long time, the fact that Robin and Kanno were the same person was an unproven rumor. But, on July 7, 2009, Yoko Kanno performed as Gabriela Robin on her stage, proving the rumor to be true.

Besides music, Kanno also enjoys photography and writing. She has written a number of journals for Newtype magazine of which photos for illustrations are done by Kanno herself as well, and a selection of photos taken by Kanno of her protogé and former production partner Maaya Sakamoto were featured in the special event program for Sakamoto's 2010 thirtieth birthday concert at Nippon Budokan.

In 2011, Kanno expressed her support and wishes to the victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, composing a song titled "Kimi de Ite, Buji de Ite".

I close my eyes and I keep seeing things
Rainbow waterfalls
Sunny liquid dreams
Confusion creeps inside me raining doubt
Gotta get to you
But I don't know how
Call me call me
Let me know it's alright
Call me call me
Don't you think it's 'bout time
Please won't you call and
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind
What can I do
To get me to you

I had your number quite some time ago
Back when we were young
But I had to grow
Ten thousand years I've searched it seems and now
Gotta get to you
Won't you tell me how
Call me call me
Let me know you are there
Call me call me
I wanna know you still care
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to find you
Peace of mind

To get me to you
Come on now won't you
Ease my mind

Peace of mind
Reasons for livin my life
Ease my mind
Reasons for me to know you

In Session 1, Laughing Bull foretells of Spike's death being brought on by a woman.

Laughing Bull: Swimming bird will meet a woman. The bird will be hunted by this woman. And then death.
Spike: One more time.
Laughing Bull: What's that?
Spike: I was killed once before by a woman.

Spike is speaking of Julia. Losing her love was so painful as to be considered a form of death. He was left in a detached dream-like purgatory from that day on.

In Session 26, Julia is shot in front of Spike. White doves fly by in slow motion. Horror, shock, and agony are expressed in Spike's left eye. He screams her name, drops his weapon, and runs to her. He takes her in his arms. Hears her last words, which are inaudible to the audience.

Spike looks down at his lost love and then up to the sky. The camera is now focused on Spike's right eye, which is shaking in a disturbing manner. The camera zooms into Spike's pupil and everything fades to black.

The next scene is of Laughing Bull predicting Spike's imminent death.

Holding Julia's coat, Vicious speaks of Spike.

Vicious: A beast that has lost his place. He has nowhere to return to now. He will come.

Vicious is both right and wrong. Spike will come, but he does have somewhere to return to one last time.

Two rose petals are shown blowing away in the wind.

Spike returns to the Bebop and tells Jet a story. An allegory about his life which he uses to explain why he will never return.

Spike: There once was a tiger striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived and lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he didn't really care for. The cat wasn't afraid to die. Then one day the cat became a stray cat, which meant he was free. He met a white female cat, and the two of them spent their days together happily. Well, years passed, and the white cat grew weak and died of old age. The tiger striped cat cried a million times, and then he died too. Except this time, he didn't come back to life.

Jet is keenly aware that Spike's death looms in the horizon. He is wary of the tale's implications.

When Spike gets up to leave, Jet asks him one last question.

Jet: Is it for the girl?
Spike: [beat] She's dead. There's nothing I can do for her now.

This is true. Julia is dead. There is nothing Spike can do for her. This does not lessen the impact she has on the events that are about to unfold. Jet understands this. Upon hearing of Julia's death, he has a resigned if devastated reaction. He knows exactly what this means for Spike.

Faye confronts Spike while holding him at gunpoint. She knows that he is marching towards his death.

Faye: Where are you going? Why, are you going? You told me once, to forget the past, ‘cause it doesn’t matter, but you’re the one still tied to the past, Spike!

Spike does not deny this. Instead, he explains the truth about his eyes. The camera spans from his left eye to his right eye.

Spike: Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake because I lost it in an accident. Since then, I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other. So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture.
Faye: Don’t tell me things like that; you’ve never told me anything about yourself, so don’t tell me now!
Spike: I felt like I was watching a dream I could never wake up from. Before I knew it, the dream was all over.

This is not the first time Spike has expressed this sentiment. One of his most revelatory quotes was said in the teaser for Ballad of Fallen Angels.

Spike: The music box is broken, or is it? It starts to play, and a haunting tune fills the air. I wake suddenly from my dream. There is no music box! And yet there it is. A tiny one nestled in my hand. And I awaken from my dream again. As if I were peeling an onion. It’s a dream no matter how far I go. I can never reach reality. Trapped in an endless nightmare.

Spike is so affected by the loss of the woman he loves that even an item she once possessed haunts him. It is her death that has finally woken him from his detached dream-like state.

Faye shares with Spike that her memory has returned. She explains that there was nowhere for her to go back to. She pleads with him to stay.

Spike ignores her please and instead leaves her with these parting words.

Spike: I’m not going there to die; I’m going to find out if I’m really alive. I have to do it, Faye.

Faye is not comforted by this statement. The audience should not be comforted either. Spike's words eerily echo what Jet said to him in session 25.

Jet: Men only think about the past right before their death, as if they were searching frantically for proof that they were alive.

Faye cries and shoots off her gun. An act reminiscent of the 21-gun salute that is used in the military to honor the fallen.

Spike walks away from Faye without looking back. He is never shown thinking about anyone from the Bebop again.

The song "See You Space Cowboy" plays as Spike leaves the Bebop.

"Everything is already over",
You say with closed ears
The words only flow
Towards a tomorrow without peace
"There's nothing that won't change"
Even if my life ends
This love will not disappear
It's something that will live forever
Even if dreams are hidden in darkness
I got a rainbow
Rainbow in your hands...

The camera zooms in on Spike's left eye. The eye that sees Spike's past. The lyrics begin as Spike is recalling romantic memories of Julia. He thinks of the first time he saw Julia and was captivated by her beauty. He thinks of a time when he made love to Julia and she cradled him in her arms.

Given that Spike confided to Jet just the previous session that Julia was a part of him, the image shows a moment in Spike's life when he felt whole.

Spike: She was a piece of me I had lost. She is my other half that I had longed for.

The song continues to play as Spike attacks the syndicate. It is a ballad of undying love alluding to lovers being reunited in the afterlife.

When Spike faces off against his hated rival, Vicious makes a proclamation.

Vicious: So, you're finally awake. I told you before, Spike. I'm the only one who can kill you and set you free.

Spike does not deny this. But makes a proclamation of his own.

Spike: Those words apply to you as well, Vicious.

During their fight, there comes a moment where the two disarm each other by swapping weapons. Vicious getting Spike's gun and Spike getting Vicious's katana. It is at this moment that Spike makes a statement of great significance to both men.

Spike: Julia passed away. Let's end it all.
Vicious: If that's your wish.

The rivals return their weapons. Spike shoots Vicious but gets sliced across the abdomen.

Vicious's death comes quickly, while Spike lingers as was foreshadowed.

Vicious: Don't forget, a snake's venom poisons slowly after the bite.

Spike watches Vicious's body fall to the ground, spends but a few of seconds looking at him, then looks up to the night's sky. The camera is focused on Spike's right eye. Now calm.

Spike sees Julia. This is the first time in the entire series that Spike is shown seeing Julia with his right eye.

In session 13, during an auditory flashback, Spike and Julia discuss his eyes.

Spike: My left eye sees the past.
Julia: What about your right eye?

We do not hear his response.

In the penultimate scene of the series, we are specifically shown what Spike sees with his eye that sees his present. He sees her.

In Spike's vision, Julia is cast in a white light. She says her last words to Spike, this time they are audible to the audience. Spike is shown reflected back in Julia's eye. He glumly concurs with her. Spike is then completely engulfed by a blinding white light. The scene fades to white. This light is reminiscent of the divine light that is cast upon a soul that is ready to ascend to heaven.

Julia: It's all a dream.
Spike: Yeah. Just a bad dream.

From white we transition to the final scene of the series. It is now day. A white light is now cast over the entire syndicate.

Spike smiles, points a finger gun at the remaining syndicate goons and says "bang".

This is a callback to Wen from session 6. As Wen was dying he asked Spike if he understood the relief that came with one's own death. In response, Spike threw Wen's harmonica up in the air, pretended to shoot it while saying "bang", but then said "as if". When Spike says "bang" this time he is acknowledging that he now understands that relief.

Spike falls to the ground. He is never shown moving again. White doves are shown flying over Spike's body. White doves also flew by Julia when she died.

The camera follows an ascension into the heavens, while the song "Blue" plays. The song's lyrics allude to a soul ascending to heaven.

Free
Wanna be free
Gonna be free
And move among the stars
You know, they really aren't so far
Feels so free
Gotta know free
Please
Don't wake me from the dream
It's really everything it seems
I'm so free
No black and white in the blue
Everything is clearer now
Life is just a dream, you know
That's never-ending
I'm ascending

At the end of the credits a star goes out but never falls.

In session 13, Laughing Bull informs the audience to what a falling star truly is.

Laughing Bull: The tear of a warrior. A lost soul who has finished his battle. A pitiful soul who could not find his way to the lofty realm. Where the great spirit awaits us all.

Given that the star we are shown does not fall, it is reasonable to infer that the soul the star belonged to did make its way to the great spirit that awaits us all.

That soul has broken away from the cycle of death and rebirth and is never coming back. As was foreshadowed to happen to Spike in the fable of the tiger striped cat, who followed his love into death and never returned.

I once heard a reviewer state why this anime sticks with so many people:

"Most anime plots revolve around young people finding themselves or coming of age. Cowboy Bebop is specifically about what comes after that."

Michael Lorah

4y↑251

I'd say it's a bit more complicated than that. It's a story about a man who desperately wants to prove to himself that he's still alive inside, and finds his answer all too late.

The beauty of this song is that it represents the great divide between Spike and everyone he knows. Not just Julia, but also Vicious, Faye, Jet, and Ed. He struggles to find peace, but realizes that it has a cost since we can't expect what we desire.

What alot of people fail to understand, is that Spike was dead before the series started, he knew this, and his entire existence in the show was his final lesson, to, above all else, pursue that which makes you feel real, because if you dont, you will fade away and spend your whole life in lost memories, spike was too late, his life was gone when he joined the syndicate, so he spent the whole series back tracking to find piece, but you and I, we have today, we have now, theres still time to live, and find happiness, pursue what makes you feel real, the things that make you happy and dont leave things in the fridge or you'll carry that weight, learn spikes lesson to all of us.

My theory is that when "The real folks blues" started playing when he took off in the swordfish it was time for his death, the theory is because we saw the SAME exact scene of him taking off in the swordfish various times when his life was in serious trouble, ex: Mad Mad Perriot.

there is something so incredibly psychological that Shinichiro Watanabe does with this episode that most of us miss (yes i teared up big time too). But, Faye was the only one that really figured it out. Your past will always be YOUR PAST. You can't go back to it; it's knowing that our future can be better than our beginning once we embrace it. (forgive me if I'm reading to much into this).

Agree 100%, but that doesn't make it that easy to discard your past. Which is why it ends with "You are going to carry that weight". It will always weigh on you, no matter how much you carry on.

This song reminds me of a girl I loved during high school. We talked about how after we graduated we'd both rent an apartment making ends meat while trying to enjoy life (we were both terrible at school). I moved away and when the phone at my new home was set up I tried to call her only to find out it her's was disconnected. Now I'm just a guy living in an apartment barely making ends meat and reminiscing on the life I could've had. I don't know what happened to her, but I hope she's happy.

If while you hear this song, theres great pain in your heart. You're not alone, we are with you now, tomorrow and always. You know who you are and we know who we are. The ones who stay awake at night finding things so they can feel. Crying alone because it feels somewhat better. You are good also, you will find happiness and fulfillment. You are loved and cherished, and if no one has said this to you today, I love you and you matter to me.

This song has such a strong effect when Ed leaves, she finally found what she was looking for and whilst I was sad to see her leave I was so happy she found her father.
I'm a person who's made several wrong decisions in life that has led me to lose contact with a person I cared very deeply about, I haven't spoken to her in so long. This song really resonates with me because of that. I wish I could have a reunion because its been so many years..

I’ve never had a show break my heart and keep it together at the same time like Cowboy Bebop. It’s such a one of a kind show that deserves even more praise than it already gets. It’s such an amazing experience and it really effected me and motivated me to move on from the past.

+DeusExMachina10001 no, the saddest part is when faye find her home and draw her bed in the sand. as someone who live in a foregin country, that part made my cry. i can identify with her really easily, i'm 23 too, far from home, kinda alone with financial problems and i even look like her :'D (sorry for the bad english)

in its own way I love this song every bit as much as blue.....when this song came on during the show and just following the story unfold in front of your eyes....you really could see that everything was spiralling into the end......that end you just didn't want to come.....one of the most amazing shows I ever watched through from beginning to end and toe to toe with anything else as the most depressing as you headed into the last leg of episodes...

I've never found a movie or television show that had a more profound impact on me than Cowboy Bebop. The cast has is so vibrant, yet almost human-like whilst the music creates an ambiance that compliments the oft rugged, melancholic atmosphere these characters reside in. Imperfect personas trying to lead perfect lives. Cowboy Bebop is more than just a cult classic... it is perfection.

Has any other work been THIS perfect? I don't think I will ever see another show with a story this compelling, characters I care about this much, music this amazing, or art this good. This was it. One of the first animes I ever watched set an unreachable bar for every other piece of media I will ever experience.

Jo Rap

JUST got to this one. It really really picks up around mid season (on episode 16 as of now). Very slice of life in some parts. A mature anime that doesn't take itself too seriously, and the absurdity of it all is the driving factor for character development. No heroes, no anti-heroes. Nothing but the emphasis of consequence on all of your choices...even to the extent of leaving a lobster in a space fridge for over a year lol (which in my opinion might be an ultimate foreshadowing of how all of this will play out). If there's any pretentious, philosophical term I would attach to this anime, it would be naturalism.

Can't believe how timeless this anime this is and it's only 20 years old. Awesome story, characters, script (both English & Japanese), soundtrack, & etc. This & Samurai Champloo both are the perfect animes.

Tyler Randolph

Cowboy BeBop was one of the most beautifully tragic hero stories that was aired as a cartoon on US television in the 2000's. Fantastic narrative, stunning scenes, flawless animation and a real passion put into it by the producers to making the story one worth telling.

This episode was just on Adult Swim. This was the second episode I saw and then I watched it again online and expected this. I forgot about it this time and....cried. I couldn't help myself. The song, Ed leaving, and (SPOLIER) thinking of the last episode where Spike died. ★Cowboy Bebop. BEST ANIME EVER!!!★

Chris Schultz

Many associate this song with Spike, which is well and good. But I find myself associating it more with Faye. This song starts in episode 24 with the view of the broken lion's head fountain, which is one of the first memories Faye has of her lost past. Now lying on the ground where her bed once was in the ruins of where she once lived, Faye has reached a dead end. She has to rely on someone calling out to her who can fill in the missing pieces, like the mysterious person who sent her the video of her as a child. Some one needs to call her and ease her mind. But the song goes so well with all of the characters.

its a shame something like this only comes around once in a lifetime.there will never be another anime like this EVER. the music,the story, and they made you care about the characters, in my opinion I hope they don't make a live action movie. years from now they will still talk about the greatest anime to ever grace the television screen. -you're gonna carry that weight-

I simply could not agree more. I am in absolute love with everything Bebop. So many positives. And never forget: Bang!

hutchb25

I used to listen to this song laying in bed at night and think about her, and feel like I was dying by some sort of venom pounding through my veins. Now, even if I think hard, I can barely even brush the border of sadness. And somehow that makes me feel even more empty inside.

I'm happily married now, but for some reason, I miss being able to miss that girl. When I was a teenager she captivated my hopes, my imagination, and had an iron grip on my love. Losing her stuck with me for almost a decade before I recovered, so it's almost like losing a piece of myself to lose the sadness.

As a die-hard Firefly fan I can honestly say that I love both of these series equally. Both have amazing characters, plots, acting, dialogue, hell even the action scenes in both scenes are spectacular. I will tip in Bebop's favor in one respect and that is what you said-the music. Both series are amazing but this one definitely has better music.

Extraordinaria historia en Anime, al igual que toda la músicalisación!!
Se lleva 5 ☆☆☆☆☆.

Frank The Tank

the feelings invoked by this song reflect the whole gang's past and what they went thru in the course of the show. I think it reflects very much how we go about in our own lives. Not everyone gets handed a silver plate whether it be in financial or social terms. We're all in this journey to something unstoppable and inevitable that it's almost a gift or a curse depending on how you look at it. Many walk around with heavy hearts and trudge on while other just simply don't, its what happened in the past that have us molded and conditioned into what we will be in the future. We have this heavy responsibility yet most of us don't understand how alone we all really are in the grand scheme of things. All we can do is hope to leave a speck of memory in other people's hearts and minds. Just like what the great Jet Black said, "Everything has a beginning and an end, life is a series of starts and stops. There are ends we don't like but are inevitable, that's what being human is all about". That statement really stuck with me after seeing the end of this masterpiece oh so long ago. Let's all be kind to each other and remember though we are fundamentally alone in our own personal journey wherever or whenever it maybe, YOU are not alone.

Maybe because Firefly is very, very good. It has great plotlines, wonderful acting, and sharp, witty dialogue that makes it very popular. Firefly is also much more accessible to the casual viewer as it is a live action, American show where anime is still unknown waters for most viewers. Both shows are great examples of what great science fiction can be and use different mediums to establish themselves as some of the best shows in recent history.

agreed, children would be bored with it. teens would think the action parts are cool but not "get" it. 25ish is the perfect age imo. enough life experience to understand most of what the characters feel, but not too old to be completely closed minded to animation.

Such a beautifully sad sounding song. I have a hard time thinking of an anime series that had such perfect music to go along with is as Cowboy Bebop did.

I first found Cowboy Bebop when I first got into anime. Like way back when adult swim still showed Brak and Sealab constantly, (as a reference point), so I wasn't sure if endings like this were the norm. But now, this many years later...I still have yet to find an anime where the ending touches me like Cowboy Bebop did. And I don't think any will.

Lyns

Awesome vid, the editing is well done. This song is so nostalgic to me. I am not into anime, but I really do love CB. I have seen other anime here and there and I have to agree with others, it's a masterpiece in its own right, not just for anime fans. I fell hard for the show's characters and its existential deepness. Other shows people have recommended to me before (anime-wise) end up being a disappointment. Maybe it's just wistful yearning but IMHO they're nothing like this. It's like a needle in a haystack.
