I am an old man who grew up in a world of Godzilla and all the wonderful films that followed because of its success and popularity. So, please don't blame me for not only being emotionally moved by this beautiful performance, but being brought to tears just a bit too.
I cried too. Godzilla is something I’ve loved for the longest. I played the game as a kid years ago and I watched a lot of the Godzilla movies growing up and I still do. To hear the theme, brings back memories and moves me to tears as well
Is anyone else completely blown away by the fact that Japanese film composers in the day (and in some cases STILL) only have 4 days to compose the music for the entire film? Ifukube wrote some of our favorite pieces in 4 days. 4! American film composers have closer to 4-6 months to compose depending on how quickly filming wraps and goes into post production. Ifukube, you're a legend forever man.
+Shadow07Warrior1989 I didn´t know that and I can hardly imagine the flights of fantasy, inspiration and creative outbursts needed to be able to pull this off.This is plainly INSANE! All the more respect to the genius of these composers. Just amazing!
Really, I didn't know this about Ifukube's work! There is (sorry, was) another movie composer who had only few days to compose a score for a hit scifi fantasy movie-James Horner.

Goosebumps hearing this live version..minus one hell of a movie..and this godly original soundtrack..wow..a masterpiece and i think it embrace all of the past gojira movies..epic epic movie
I grew up with all these toho Godzilla's movies . My grandma used to take me to the cinema to watch them all....greetings from Mexico for all Godzilla fans.
What I read in old newspaper articles - the Japanese were squeamish about Godzilla's attack on Tokyo, with his fire breath. It brought back memories of the fire bombing by American Bombers during WW2. The original movie came out in 1954.
My father once thought that Godzilla is for kids so he bought the 1954 version for me when I was only 5 year old lol. To me Godizlla is a threath (Only Japanese version but Hollywood is something else) JSDF is the real hero. But yeah everytime I hear this performance, I always see the JSDF trying to kill Godzilla but never success.
Godzilla’s Monster March, they always seem to use this theme when the humans get the advantage over Godzilla or in some cases foil the aliens (usually Xiliens) plans.
***** If the studio who made Godzilla managed to get the rights to King Ghidora, Mothra, and Rodan, than I don't see them having a problem getting the rights to a 3 minute song.
Evan Snoes ask him to put it in? although the company would have to buy the licensing to use the song in the next godzilla movie, it would be awesome if they put it in there.
Not only did Akira Ifukube create the unforgettable theme music for Toho's kaiju films, but he also created Gojira's unmistakable roar and his powerful footsteps. All with instruments. Brilliant man.
It would have matched the scene to. The scene where the US army was marching into battle in Godzilla 2019 film was epic. Especially the fighter jets and the B-52 Bombers flying into action with Godzilla. Wish they done that for Godzilla Final War especially when he was about to face Kaizer. Then later became Kaizer Ghidorah. And I thought Death-Ghidorah was ugly whoo-boy Kaizer Ghidorah took the cake. And probably most strongest Ghidorah Godzilla ever faced.
Something else that's amazing is how the first piece become known as the "Godzilla March" when it originally in the 54' movie was not meant to symbolize Godzilla, but was actually intended to be representative of the Japanese Defense Force against Godzilla. Ifukube admitted to this in the interviews of the Gojira Criterion Collection blu-ray special features. Kind of funny in retrospect, actually.
Shadow07Warrior1989 Ah yeah I think most people caught that but it felt like their struggle against Gojira so therefore still a theme for it. Excellent piece plus out of context it feels imposing in a manner more fitting of Gojira.
Ifukube Akira - *Godzilla* Alan Silvestri - Avengers, Back To The Future John Williams - Star Wars, Jurassic Park John Ottman - X Men Hans Zimmer - Dark Knight Trilogy Danny Elfman - Spiderman, Batman Steve Jablonsky - Transformers
Revisiting this masterpiece after Godzilla Minus One. Great use of the original pieces in the new movie without being too overbearing, overused, or over-indulgent on nostalgia and tradition like in Shin Godzilla
1:47 Fun fact: this music was apparently originally used in Ifukube's soundtrack for 1951 "Tale of Genji" film produced by Daiei. A piano version of the melody plays as Genji rides his horse up to the northern hills where he meets Murasaki.
Hearing this playing when Godzilla Minus One won their first Oscar brought so much tears to me, Long live the King and Thank You to the Godzilla Minus One team y’all deserved it!
Dinobot2468 Where did Gareth say that? The soundtrack pre-order is on Amazon, I didn't see anything that suggest this theme. I was disappointed. Still hoping for a miracle though.
I don't know why but not having seen this movie for quite some time the music to it recently popped up in my head, so I went exploring and found this. Only one word describes. Brilliant.
RIP Nakajima-San. Long live the King. Without you, my life wouldn't have known the same joy and love of the fantastic. So many times I tried to emulate the creatures you brought to life. So many smiles you gave to so many children like me, who wanted to grow up and be some strange beast. May you find yet another city to destroy and swim in peace. Give Tsuburaya-San a hug from all of us.
As a 35 year old man in the u.s i remember my black and white godzilla movies and how i use to make believe i was godzilla kicking my toy cars and make-believe box buildings ...i cry with happines and nostalgia wen i listen to this tune godzilla is eternal the unstoppable force of nature
My Father saw the first Godzilla in 1954 at the age of 25. I took him to see "godzilla 2014 " at the age of 84. He loved it. Just saw the new godzilla yesterday. Was awesome.
Akria Ifukabe would so proud of King of Monsters.. his music being shown to a new generation to actually hear Godzilla’s most iconic theme in a American theater for the first time in years..
Godzilla was such a huge part of my childhood and this music is forever BURNED into my brain the same way star war's theme is. its an absolute masterclass theme for a very important and poignant film in the industry.
My favorite the RODAN! thyme with the the tubas bassoons horns and low register pulsating piano keys, that is so beautifully ominous wicked and powerful,then the solum sensitive ending in volcano scene, so great!
This theme will always send chills and excitement racing through my body. I've been watching Godzilla since I was a kid and it will never not be thrilling to hear. Any movie or show he's been in outside of his universe, you hear this and you know IMMEDIATELY what's about to happen.
To think this man produced the marches for the Japanese Military in World War 2. Example is in this video. 1:45 this song was originally created by Mr.Akira for the Japanese Military in the 1940’s
not gonna lie in king of the monsters when he come out of the water and the theme is playing i was the only one excited because i was the only one who knew what the song was, I got chills
I can just imagine every epic scene from Godzilla, from Godzilla's showdown with the JSDF and its tanks in the original, to Godzilla blasting a hole down to Hollow Earth, and from scenes as goofy as Minilla fighting Gabara, to Shin Godzilla just collapsing and apartment, even taking down several bombs and bombers, along with the prime minister's helicopter. Akira Ifukube is legendary and brilliant.
Some of the greatest music in movie history... Wonderful models of landscapes and cities... Fun, imaginative special effects... And a group of people that worked really hard bringing to life something that really captured our imaginations. That's what Godzilla movies are to me.
@@greendecepticon6148 I came here upon detractors' comment. I can say that this one is good nonetheless. It is hard to say, even from a big McCreary fan.
Godzilla is one fun emotional monster movie. ignore the critics. It's a monster movie what do they expect. the 2014 Godzilla movie they were complaining that Godzilla did not have enough screen time, this theme and the sound track in DTS X atmos Digital surround sound is amazing, the composer McCREARY and sound designers for this film are talented people
This will never get old.... Ah, the memories. I wonder if they shall make an even more badass remix of this in the 2014 movie? Or put this somewhere in the movie. Either way, if this song just appears int the movie for just one second...I think I will die a happy death. Maybe that's just me.
Akira Ifukube is one the best film composers of all. He stands among the greats such as Alan Silvestri, Basil Poldouris, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, Henry Mancini, Max Steiner, Shirley Walker even John Carpenter.
I love all the Godzilla movies he is one of my favourites I'm glad that made the old Godzilla in Japan that all did a good job on Godzilla thank you some think about Godzilla I liked. See my favourite number one I'm a Godzilla fan.❤️❤️💙💙
Ifukube was one of the masters. His scores for the GODZILLA movies are, to me classic, but his work on other films are just as superb. One particular favorite score is for THE MYSTERIANS, especially the battle music. I have both LPs and CDs of his works and listen to them periodically.
I started showing interest in the Gojira movies about 3 months ago and my first movie watched was Vs Hedorah, then KOTM, then GvK, Godzilla (2014), Shin Godzilla, Final Wars, and then Singular Point
I see the Godzilla, and Superman (John Williams orchestrated version), themes as the best. Godzilla's has that opening danger to it, but sounds a little more heroic as the theme progresses. Superman's theme starts out quiet, grows, swells, and the heroic comes out. Both these themes, I find, are invigorating.

Same here! It was beautiful
Poor Akiko. The movie was great!
I died when it came on
Absolutely Stunning
just saw the film yesterday it was epic!!! the music was great!!!!
Akira Ifukube will always be remembered for the Toho Godzilla movies. It's like what John Williams is for Star Wars. Both brilliant composers.
Michael Björk or John Barry with James Bond.

70 years later and it feels as fresh as ever!
Of course! Even Bear McCreary saluted the Maestro and his music as the longest running musical cue in movies

Really they played in an Oscars?
If the Japanese military ever got into a war, they should blast this music from their attack helicopters!
bigart1993 No Jp military. SDF (Self Defense Force) 8-)
I know this. "Millitary" is a generic term for armed forces.
Right. No Jp army, but *military
I just pictured that in my head..... YEEEEEEES!!!!

Probably the greatest goddamned song ever made.
You're God damn right!
One of a few 😜
Damned by nuclear war :(
Maybe the Pride fc theme song.
Absolutely..
1:47 when this played in shin godzilla I was so hyped I almost spilt my soda
Buongiorno too bad I hated the design of that Godzilla
Godzilla’s Monster March, they always seem to use this theme when the humans get the advantage over Godzilla or in some cases foil the aliens (usually Xiliens) plans.
I love Shin Godzilla - that is HOW American Legendary Godzilla should look like...
Yeah shin Godzilla design was kinda bad.
Hahahaha
I just got back from watching minus one. If this music doesn't send chills down your spine then YOU are a monster!
My wife told me her schools “anthem” was written by Ifukube Akire.
Wow Really!
(I do Really Care about it)
cool!
cool
I'm really hoping that this theme is in Godzilla 2 now :)
It won't be.

Invasion of astro monster theme song!!!! Yea Boiii
1:46 This attractive march is used in several movies. I like to call it "Frigate March", suitable for the Japanese Defense Force.
It’s in Shin Godzilla.

that is really interesting though
Very interesting trivia, thank you for that!
I don't know if this theme was played during an Oscar ceremony before, but hearing it when they announced that Godzilla Minus One won was beautiful.

Avengers, pfff...
only KING OF THE MONSTERS theme since 1954,
and also The Imperial March and Star Wars main theme!

Akira Ifukube was an absolute genius :). The second soundtrack they performed should be used as the official military theme in our world.

Ah, the memories. I wonder if they shall make an even more badass remix of this in the 2014 movie? Or put this somewhere in the movie. Either way, if this song just appears int the movie for just one second...I think I will die a happy death.
Maybe that's just me.
I hope so...they probably will. I think they're trying their best to avoid the mistakes of the last American Godzilla.
Fred Brown Let's hope so!
I'm hoping this plays over the last shot and leads into the credits. I'd stand up and cheer if that happened.
Hopefully in the end credits
If I hear this song in the 2014 remake, I can be totally sure that I will cry xD
It's weird, but despite not having known about this theme, I feel some strong nostalgic feelings, as if I've heard it before
Akira Ifukube is one the best film composers of all. He stands among the greats such as Alan Silvestri, Basil Poldouris, John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, Henry Mancini, Max Steiner, Shirley Walker even John Carpenter.
do not Forget Howard Shore
composer of the music of The Lord of the Rings
I love all the Godzilla movies he is one of my favourites I'm glad that made the old Godzilla in Japan that all did a good job on Godzilla thank you some think about Godzilla I liked. See my favourite number one I'm a Godzilla fan.❤️❤️💙💙
This is simply BEAUTIFUL!!
Long Live the King!!
Ifukube was one of the masters. His scores for the GODZILLA movies are, to me classic, but his work on other films are just as superb. One particular favorite score is for THE MYSTERIANS, especially the battle music. I have both LPs and CDs of his works and listen to them periodically.
I started showing interest in the Gojira movies about 3 months ago and my first movie watched was Vs Hedorah, then KOTM, then GvK, Godzilla (2014), Shin Godzilla, Final Wars, and then Singular Point
I see the Godzilla, and Superman (John Williams orchestrated version), themes as the best.
Godzilla's has that opening danger to it, but sounds a little more heroic as the theme progresses.
Superman's theme starts out quiet, grows, swells, and the heroic comes out.
Both these themes, I find, are invigorating.
