In a way, Akira Ifukube's Kaiju scores are metaphors for Japan's anguish and difficulty in coming to terms with losing WW2. This can actually be a good thing. Their Kaiju almost always come back from apparent death.
Requiem is the definition of death.. i remember reading long ago that akira ifukube said that he composed this track, like if he is composing his own death.. and it shows..
There are threads in Ifukube's music that can be found in Howard Shore's scores. It's clear that Shore admired this music and emulated some of the themes found in these selectons. Silence Of The Lambs was released in 1991 as was Gozillasaurus' Death. The coincidences are too close to be random. Regardless of which came first they are both about monsters.
why not include some music from the concerts and other music that were not from a movie or even some music that were before he became a a movie composer, don't get me wrong his movie scores are fantastic but i would prefer more variety in the music since ifukube was not just a movie composer.

Akira Ifukube is the best composer on the movie history between John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith and Hans Zimmer!
I love Shore’s music. While I personally haven’t noticed the connection, I’ve also never listened for it. So it could very well be there.
actually when i slowed down the theme from shindo's death scene, its tone was quite similar to that of silence of the lambs.
God dam one Hour! I'll probably watch this later tonight in full then.
godzilla 154 it's some good music right here
Long Live to the King
HAPPY Birthday
Personally I would have put Devastated Tokyo at #2, but I completely understand why you picked this one.
Wait, I’m confused. Did The Burmese Harp come out in 1954 or 1956?
