The band performed the whole soundtrack of the Anime series ''Cowboy Bebop'' and produced a total of seven albums and one live DVD. Their style is very diverse and ranges from a straightforward Big Band jazz to more refined rock 'n roll ballads. Since the band is focused mostly on instrumental work, The Seatbelts have no lead singer. But Steve Conte (from The Contes and Crown Jewels ) and Mai Yamane participate and sing in many of their songs. The lyrics of these songs are written mainly by Tim Jensen and Yoko Kanno herself. Singers Soichiro Otsuka and Gabriela Robin are responsible for the back vocals on songs such as "Blue". After a few years in hibernation, The Seatbelts have regrouped in 2004 to compose the soundtrack of the Cowboy Bebop game, scheduled for an early 2006 release. Many of the members of The Seatbelts have also worked with Kanno and with each other on other projects, as well, and some have even gone on to compose their own work. For example, guitarist '' and '' Wolf's Rain '' (both of which were composed by Kanno), as well as composing the soundtracks for '' Trigun '' and '' Gungrave ''.
