Favorite non ifukube kaiju composers?

I mean, they all tend to be pretty great.

Michuru Oshima might be my favorite. She isn’t just a fantastic composer, but also a wonderfully sweet person too. I’m in the planning stages of making a whole video about her music and how brilliant it is. I mean, just listen to it. 

Masuru Sato’s scores are part of what make Fukuda’s Godzilla movies so wonderful. Take Son of Godzilla for example. Mechagodzilla too.

I think Sugiyama is retired and he probably doesn’t ever have to work again because of all those Dragon Quest dollars, but I really wish he did more kaiju movies. His score is just as unique and exciting as Godzilla vs. Biollante itself. Asuka’s theme and the Super X theme are just perfect.

Y’all thought I’d sleep on Gamera with this post? Nah, son. Otani’s G3 score is especially powerful. Oh yeah, I guess he did a Godzilla movie too.

And how could I not mention Sagisu? The lack of music in many scenes is part of what gives Shin Godzilla its signature sterile, almost documentary-like feeling, but every track he wrote for that film is masterful. The guy is on another level. 

Oh, I should mention Love & Peace too. You need to watch Love & Peace. おまえを忘れない。
