@@simpleviewer1334 Supposedly, I have no confirmation of this and only saw it pointed out once in a comment so it's like it's false, but if you change the speed the 2014 theme plays at it sounds like the original theme, like what Battlefield 3 did for the Battlefield theme. I'm pretty sure it's false but who knows.
Back then in Japan composer’s had very little time to actually write a score for a movie so the fact that this theme was made in only a few days and is still so iconic just shows you how talented ikufube was.
Kinda like how Nobuo Uematsu was given a very short time to add one more song for Final Fantasy. The result being one of the most iconic songs in gaming history.
I am in my shop working on my 1974 Mechagodzilla cosplay and listening to this- :) When 2:13 hit- I started grinning like an idiot, and almost rocking out like Bevis and Butthead. I had forgotten that part of the theme, so good to hear again, especially while gluing spines on my own suit! Thank you for posting this!
I honestly did not expect to hear any classic Godzilla music in King of the Monsters since this wasn't Toho making it so it was a very welcome surprise to hear it in theaters.
As Godzilla tore through the defense line in Tokyo bay, we kept filming. As he walked through 30,000 volts of electricity, we kept filming. As he turned the city of Tokyo, Japan into a smoldering pile of fire and ash, we kept filming, As he came up to Tokyo Tower, and we could feel the heat from his breath, We Kept Filming.... -Some piece of Godzilla media
Why Godzilla ll: King of The Monsters is realeased in May 31, 2019? Cause It's The Birthday of our Great God of Composers Akira Ifukube Rest in Peace Akira Ifukube May 31, 1914 - February 6, 2006 You will Be In Our Hearts Akira. Keep Playing Godzilla Themes in Heaven!
when you first see Godzilla bust out of the ice and his them starts blasting in the Theaters while panning up to Godzilla's face, you cant help but be in aww of such magnificents
there are aliens, there are predators, there are terminators. and there is freddie, and there is jason, and there is king kong. but godzilla is truly the king of the monsters.
Luke Fraczek I’m a major Godzilla fan and I wish I could say Godzilla is invincible but he’s not, Goku from Dragon Ball Z has the power to end the universe whenever he wants (I think. I’m not an anime fan, I’ve only watched Godzilla anime).
@Byron Kelly As much I as hate to admit it, there are many other fictional characters beyond god level that can easily defeat Godzilla. But one thing is for sure though, in this continuity that we're talking here, Godzilla will always be the King of the Monsters in not only fiction but cinema history and he will forever hold that crown from then on.
@Byron Kelly Lol yea and it gets absolutely ridiculous once you actually think about, Superman One Million, Galactus, Beyonder, One Above All, Beerus, and need I go on? Personally though if we look at all his feats Godzilla has done (examples: taking on a black hole, killing Greek Gods, surviving Hell, surviving a volcano, swim under the Earth's mantle, destroying a asteroid/meteor, lifting several monsters weighing much more his size, surviving his own weakness to the Oxygen Destroyer, getting dropped from the Troposphere, and etc) I would say he's right in the middle somewhere.
14:13 has to always be my favorite out of the bunch. Rest in piece Akira Ifukube, as well as the original two comic writers of the Godzilla franchise. You did a fantastic job with this. I’ll always treasure it.
It has a sense of finality to it. Given the context of the film, Akira really put his all into the music. It sounds the strongest out of all of the films he composed for.
I wish Godzilla vs Kong had that theme. the entire soundtrack of KOTM trumps Godzilla vs Kong. sad that the person that did 2019 isn't back to do the new up and coming Godzilla vs Kong same with the director..
I smile knowing that Akira Ifukube is happy with us listening to his masterpiece. R.I.P Mr. Ikufube. You will be forever remembered in the hearts of us and Godzilla fans.
Fun fact! Originally This theme *wasn't* intended for Godzilla. In the original movie, it was the theme of the self defense forces and emergency workers who were desperately trying to save Tokyo from Godzilla. The rapid and orderly nature of the theme was meant to convey how they heroically did their duty despite near certain death. The next time this theme was played was Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975). This was the 15th and last Showa era film for Godzilla and by this point the character had become a fully fledged hero, so the heroic nature of the theme was passed on to Godzilla to convey his own heroic resistance against Mechagodzilla, Titanosaurus, and the Blackhole Aliens. By the time the Heisei movies came about, the theme was resurrected because Toho felt that the films would do better if some of the original creators of Godzilla contributed to their making. This included Akira Ifukube, the original composer for the Godzilla series, who's theme is obviously what you're hearing now. By this point, Godzilla was the anti-hero, a ferocious beast of nature, so Ifukube created a new version of the theme that was more 'brutal' for Heisei Godzilla. By this point, in the heisei films, as well as the later Millenium and Legendary/ Reiwa films, this particular theme had become synonymous with Godzilla. Just as he embodies various different roles from hero, villain, or anti-hero, so to does the theme embody these roles, evolving right along with him.
Taking into account that the name Gojíra, comes from the Japanese words 鯨 Kujira and ゴリラ Gorira, which translates as Whale and Gorilla, the original translated name would be ''Gohale''.
All are good, but you gotta hand it to Bear McCreary; he did a magnificent job with an iconic theme and upgraded it to something even more bombastic and awe inspiring. Good job, sir!
1954 - 2019 Godzilla remained as one of the greatest characters in cinematic history. His monstrous Glory has remained unchanged for 65 years. Glory to the King. Glory to the monsters of the past. I hope more monsters from the old films will be in 2021. Edit: WOAH WOAH SINCE WHEN DID THIS GET SO MANY LIKES
54’ Will never get old. 75’ justice of humanity. 89’ battle against the humanized-plant. 91’ battle of the prehistoric. 92’ battle against the protectors of the city. 93’ the resurrection. 95’ the final march.
Heisei has the best music IMO. Better audio quality than Showa, with all of the same classic tracks returning along with new and equally fantastic themes.
More than 70 years after the first movie Godzilla (1954) this theme still brings me some good feelings. Luckily like 90% of Heisei, Showa and Millennium movies are dubbed in my mother tongue, spanish, so I was able to watch them in the 90s being a kid. Just... SUPERB.
This is the best compilations of Godzilla melody's that I've ever heard, I didn't know that there were so many variations, Wow Rebirth at 16:53 is unforgettable.
It’s crazy to think that Godzilla is still a popular fiction monster today and he was made before any other big fictional characters were around that I know of
I've been a Godzilla fan literally my whole life, the only way to placate my crying as an infant was to put a Godzilla movie on, but unfortunately I never got my Godzilla movie moment to hear his theme on the big screen. I saw Godzilla 2000 in theaters but they had given that new theme and you only heard it just before the credits rolled. Then, in 2019, alone at an early showing in a almost empty theater on opening day of KOTM, when I heard the original roar followed by this as the big king made his way into Boston........ I started to laugh, smile, cry, cheer and applauded all at once. 30 years of waiting and I got my moment all thanks to Mr. McCreary, and I'll forever be grateful for that moment.
Godzilla and Kong are 2 of the most famous Giant-monsters in cinematic history and i really like them. I'm not sure who would winn. Godzilla is creative, mighty, he can breath fire and is called king of the Monsters. Kong is an angry, cold-blood monky and he can use weapons
R.I.P Akira Ifukube, you’re music has led a nation of greatness and has led kaiju to where they are now popularity wise. Without you, I don’t think the cinematic world would be as great as it is today without the big G, and Japan would not have such a great kaiju to become what is essentially its national icon. Long live the King.
"Nothing can defy the impossible, only the legends can. And they make the impossible, possible." -Me R.I.P. Akira Ifukube ( Our highest honor is in your hands Master Ifukube, may your pride live along with you. )
hes is now a legend for the godzilla fanbase and is likely in eternal peace knowing that his music gave people so much joy and happiness. glory to this madman a true legend if his time.
I watched all his movies since I was little and I was excited about this soundtrack ... and when I heard it on KING of the Monsters I cried a little because 20 years later all my childhood passed through my eyes in that movie theater
Same! Since I was a kid I've watched all the godzilla movies....when this came out on KOTM when Godzilla came from under the ocean and this came on..i got goosebumps and teared up a little...😢
The thing that I like about the traditional Godzilla theme is that it sounds like an impending disaster waiting to happen. There is nothing stopping Godzilla from destroying everything in his path and we as humans can do nothing but watch. But Bear Mcreary was able to do something special and new to it. While still keeping elements of that danger present in his theme, he also included chanting and has a more faster tone. It sounds a lot more heroic than previous versions which is fitting for the Monsterverse Godzilla. It presents Godzilla in a way to be looked upon in awe and more as a natural disaster than an impending doom. I hope they bring Bear Mcreary back for the future films.
I love the music used in the Godzilla movies. They have menacing power, dread, and yet something heroic/of magnitude. Also really cool illustration of the monsters involved in this video
I'd say the first is the best because, damn, that's the foundation for everything, isn't it? But my _favorite_ would be the 'King of the Monsters' version because it makes you *feel* the power and enormity of Godzilla in an all new way
While I enjoy the background changes with each new theme, I'm glad to see you included the posters as well. The Heisei series posters are some of the greatest of all time. In my opinion.
The God of Destruction" "The King of the Monsters" "The King" "Anti-Hero" "The King of Kaijus" "Son of the sea" "Emperor of the Titans" "The death of the one who is many" "The King Kaiju" "A God Incarnate" "Her king"
Godzilla has one of the most iconic themes in movie history, So when I went to see KOTM, imagen my surprise and utter glee when I heard a familiar tune play as Godzilla was rising up from the water. Long. Live. The King!
My god.. listening through all of them... all the memories... feel like they have been gathering up to the 2019 one.... Awesome experience to listen to this evolution... and at the end i feel we get THE best version of them all... the moment it started i got such huge goose bumps.... Truly Legendary Piece of art this is :) Long Live The King!...
Got to love that this amazing theme as withstood the test of time. Thank you Mr. Ifukube! Also love Bear McCreary's rendition. We need to get that guy more work from this to God of War/Ragnorak the guy is amazing.
I was so pumped hearing the original Akira Ifukube theme in Terror of Mechagodzilla on my first time watchthrough of the Showa series a couple of months ago
The nostalgia is real. Grew up watching these (even tho I’m only 15) and I always have a soft spot for these themes. I can remember watching the film that came out in 2014 and being so excited because it was the first time I had seen Godzilla in theaters. Ah, the memories.
It is truly inspiring how a character can withstand 65 years and STILL be one of (if not the most) recognizable characters in cinema history.
Because godzilla has had so many different variations meanwhile kong is just big monke

Why is Godzilla’s theme so heroic despite two thirds of the movies he’s in he’s the antagonist?
He is always heroic but he is on nature's side not humans. That's y.
Theres a reason why "godzilla March" is used more often in those movies
He's mostly in the grey zone switching from anti hero to anti villain from time to time

It's even better.
I love the background changing and the outros into the other songs
I have great respect for Akira Ifukube but from 19:27 to the end Bear McCreary is LEGIT!
So many memories with this soundtrack. This is one of those songs that you just can't mistake with another.
Kong: *"Why do I hear boss music?"*
Godzilla: Omae wa mou shinderu. **Godzilla theme plays in the background**
Kong: Nani?!
XD
Godzilla:because you are about to die

R.I.P Akira Ifukube, you’re music has led a nation of greatness and has led kaiju to where they are now popularity wise. Without you, I don’t think the cinematic world would be as great as it is today without the big G, and Japan would not have such a great kaiju to become what is essentially its national icon. Long live the King.

May u Time with toho and godzilla be with you thank you for everything rest in peace
I still get goosebumps. I'm 53 and still love this theme. Long live GODZILLA
I watched all his movies since I was little and I was excited about this soundtrack ... and when I heard it on KING of the Monsters I cried a little because 20 years later all my childhood passed through my eyes in that movie theater
Same! Since I was a kid I've watched all the godzilla movies....when this came out on KOTM when Godzilla came from under the ocean and this came on..i got goosebumps and teared up a little...😢
The thing that I like about the traditional Godzilla theme is that it sounds like an impending disaster waiting to happen. There is nothing stopping Godzilla from destroying everything in his path and we as humans can do nothing but watch. But Bear Mcreary was able to do something special and new to it. While still keeping elements of that danger present in his theme, he also included chanting and has a more faster tone. It sounds a lot more heroic than previous versions which is fitting for the Monsterverse Godzilla. It presents Godzilla in a way to be looked upon in awe and more as a natural disaster than an impending doom. I hope they bring Bear Mcreary back for the future films.
How many legends still here listening to these masterpieces

What.
I love the music used in the Godzilla movies. They have menacing power, dread, and yet something heroic/of magnitude.
Also really cool illustration of the monsters involved in this video
God dam rest in peace Akira you will be missed this theme you created cannot be topped
I'd say the first is the best because, damn, that's the foundation for everything, isn't it?
But my _favorite_ would be the 'King of the Monsters' version because it makes you *feel* the power and enormity of Godzilla in an all new way
These themes take me back 5 years ago when I come home from school and binge watch all the heisei Godzilla movies every night
While I enjoy the background changes with each new theme, I'm glad to see you included the posters as well. The Heisei series posters are some of the greatest of all time. In my opinion.
16:50, that gave me chills. A wonderful recreation of Akira Ifukube's original theme.
Monsterverse: MCU, you’re next.
I should be making this comment on my other account, but damn this comment was short but cool.
remenber that godzilla himself have made a 1vs 50 with the MCU earth heroes and eaven dwarfen thor in raw streingth
this actually happened in a comic back when marvel owned the rights to Godzilla
Toho built Godzilla. I think it’s toho
Avengers theme is epic too though... i like kotm theme and avengers

Godzilla has one of the most iconic themes in movie history, So when I went to see KOTM, imagen my surprise and utter glee when I heard a familiar tune play as Godzilla was rising up from the water. Long. Live. The King!
Every kaiju:why do we hear boss music
Godzilla:hmmmm I wonder why
And now, with Minus One, we have another (3 versions) of the amazing theme.
One of the most classic themes in history!
Can't wait for a re-upload with the new ones.
The Final wars theme actually used to be my least favorite rendition of the classic theme, but over the years, I've actually come to really like it.
My god.. listening through all of them... all the memories... feel like they have been gathering up to the 2019 one.... Awesome experience to listen to this evolution... and at the end i feel we get THE best version of them all... the moment it started i got such huge goose bumps.... Truly Legendary Piece of art this is :) Long Live The King!...
The best version was the end credits in Godzilla vs destoroyah, 2019 is like 6th or 5th place
Man, I can't get over how epic Godzilla's theme is.
It's powerful, moving, and just so darn cool!
Long live the king!
"Now how iconic do you want this song to be" "yes"

“What do you think he’s listening to?”
“Probably Heavy Metal or Hard Rock.”
*What he is listening to:*
facts
probably me when going for a walking exercise
I was left sobbing watching kotm they literally added the music that I live for is a kid and make it a masterpiece
Ifukube was a frickin genius, creating the most iconic theme in movie history. HAIL!
Got to love that this amazing theme as withstood the test of time. Thank you Mr. Ifukube! Also love Bear McCreary's rendition. We need to get that guy more work from this to God of War/Ragnorak the guy is amazing.
When you make a good argument with your parents and win:
R.I.P. Akira Ifukube you will be remembered for your godly work on these movies' scores
If you want to prepare properly for watching Godzilla Minus One, this is it!
Up to this point I've seen 25 of these films mostly through VHS and etc. Nothing can top this
I was so pumped hearing the original Akira Ifukube theme in Terror of Mechagodzilla on my first time watchthrough of the Showa series a couple of months ago
I can't believe they have managed to create this Wonderful Piece of music back in 1954.

The nostalgia is real. Grew up watching these (even tho I’m only 15) and I always have a soft spot for these themes. I can remember watching the film that came out in 2014 and being so excited because it was the first time I had seen Godzilla in theaters. Ah, the memories.
RIP Akira Ifukube. I loved the themes Akira they were very good.
*Salutes*
The 1954 Godzilla theme was so AMAZING from my childhood a really love that theme
