• Illustration — Logo, as of 2020. The name of the band, according to the fictional description given in their first album Cowboy Bebop, derives from how the performers wear seatbelts to be safe while they play hardcore jam sessions. The band performed the entire soundtrack of the anime series Cowboy Bebop and produced a total of seven albums (three new songs in Cowboy Bebop Tank! THE! BEST!) and one live DVD. The band performed virtually in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to participate in new projects. In collaboration with Funimation, Sunrise, and composer Mason Lieberman, the band rerecorded the ending theme of Cowboy Bebop, "The Real Folk Blues", to raise proceeds for COVID-19 relief. In addition, the band began the Session Starducks project on a newly founded YouTube channel in April 2020. In collaboration with different musicians as well as with the original members of the band, the project recorded new interpretations of various compositions. These include songs from Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Macross Frontier. It was confirmed in April 2020 that Kanno would be returning to compose the upcoming live-action adaption of Cowboy Bebop for Netflix. It was later confirmed in November 2021 that the Seatbelts were to perform the music for the new adaptation.
