The Cowboy Bebop Boxed Set includes four regular size CDs, one bonus 80 mm CD, and a 52-page booklet (in Japanese). The booklet includes interesting trivia, track listing, interviews, and lyrics. Disks 1, 2 and 3 contain new and previously released tracks from the series, performed by The Seatbelts. Disk 4 contains live tracks from The Seatbelts on tour, as well as some unreleased movie tracks. The dialogue tracks are not songs, rather, they are vocal samples taken directly from the Japanese version of the series. This boxed set is currently out of production.

All dialogue tracks are credited as follows:

Script: Shinichiro Watanabe, Dai Sato
Translation: Agnes S. Kaku

Tracks in bold are exclusive to this boxed set.
