#it's a symphonic band of mostly upper middle-aged people in rural norway. yes cowboy bebop counts as obscure in that setting

my sister plays in a fairly high-level concert band and mentioned off-hand their new conductor wants them to play a number "with such a weird title, 'tank-cowboy... be-bop'?" so i was like "oh my god, you're gonna play 'tank!' from cowboy bebop??" and i explained what it was and played it for her, and then after she went to rehearsal she told me she'd impressed everyone with her superior pop cultural knowledge

i have no qualms aiding my sister in her anime stolen valour 🫡
