Comments
The first soundtrack release for the 1997 Mothra film is a nice collection of music from the feature. Composer Toshiyuki Watanabe delivers a very pleasant score here that manages to host both very soothing and more action oriented cues. Watanabe's work also manages to capture the more carefree and kid oriented feeling of the production, as tracks like "At the Cape" work very well to express the more lighthearted nature of the proceedings. The standout track, though, is really Dagahra's theme, "Dagahra Arrives", which is a nicely constructed cue effectively utilizing drum work to express the mass and power of the creature. Overall, this disc is a good sampler of the music from the film and contains most of the feature's best themes; however, it's a very short CD at a runtime of only a little under 33 minutes and is missing a large amount of music from the movie that would later appear on the two disc set from the company.

It should be noted that this disc is identical to the later ADV release in terms of music selection and running time. The only difference between the two is that the US version contains more tracks as 7 and 9 have been split into smaller pieces. Given this fact, it's hard to suggest picking up this release as the ADV one is far cheaper while the selection on this CD is also inferior to the two disc edition by PolyGram.
