You stay up late to watch anime on your TV hoping your parents don&rsquo;t hear. Next thing you know, you hear the iconic intro to&nbsp;<em>Cowboy Bebop<\/em>&nbsp;play, and all is well in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese band Seatbelts &mdash; which performed&nbsp;<em>Cowboy Bebop<\/em>&rsquo;s opening theme, &ldquo;Tank!&rdquo; &mdash; grouped up recently to assemble an&nbsp;at-home performance&nbsp;for fans. The performance is every bit as fast-paced and energetic as the song itself, with the video edited to quickly cut between various band members, almost replicating the vibe and tone of the anime&rsquo;s intro.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Cowboy Bebop&nbsp;<\/em>opening animation&nbsp;is less than two minutes long. Fortunately, the Seatbelts played the full version of &ldquo;Tank!,&rdquo; lasting closer to four minutes long.<\/p>\n<p>Often regarded as one of many &ldquo;gateway series&rdquo; for people interested in getting into anime,&nbsp;<em>Cowboy Bebop<\/em>&nbsp;originally debuted in Japan in April 1998. The anime would later receive an English dub and air on Cartoon Network&rsquo;s Adult Swim block in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>In late 2018,&nbsp;Netflix announced&nbsp;it was making a live-action version of&nbsp;<em>Cowboy Bebop<\/em>, with&nbsp;John Cho set to play Spike Spiegel, the main character in the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tldr\/2020\/5\/14\/21258585\/cowboy-bebop-theme-song-live-performance-seatbelts\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tldr\/2020\/5\/14\/21258585\/cowboy-bebop-theme-song-live-performance-seatbelts<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/> Taylor Lyles<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/artificial-intelligence-newswire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Artificial Intelligence Newswire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p> Taylor Lyles<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&rsquo;s the early 2000s.
