Help finding a piece of Toho movie music!

Hey guys, I really really love the piece of music featured in the Japanese Dogora trailer. Specifically the piece that runs from about :33-:49. Does anyone know the name of the piece, or what movie it was used in originally?

That's Ifukube's Plan to Transport King Kong theme from King Kong vs. Godzilla. It's the mono re-recording, if I am not mistaken.
I can more or less identify every piece used in that trailer:

Battle in Outer Space
Opening (M1) - 0:00/0:03 - 0:24/0:32
Brainwashing (M10) - 0:04/0:17
Great War in Space (M32) - 0:55/1:17
Iwomura and the SPIP (M20) - 1:17/1:39

King Kong vs. Godzilla
The Plan to Transport King Kong (M27) - 0:34/0:49

Atragon
Main Title (M3) - 1:52/2:11

Good job Space Hunter M, I'm impressed!

Yeah tracking the origin of music in trailers can be quite interesting. The stuff in Dogora is actually more what I would consider "normal choices", compared with using Samurai Saga for Atragon's trailer or The Adventure of Taklamkan for Godzilla vs. Megalon's trailer. Some of the music can be quite obscure in terms of it's choice, for example I have never been able to determine what source was used for the earlier "meteorite" teaser trailer for SpaceGodzilla that uses the poster art.

This is probably the best place to post this....

Does anyone know the music piece used in the trailer for GFW, or the person who did it?
I ask because one, I like it, but more importantly two, because the same piece was used in an episode of ULTRAMAN MAX, which caught me completely off guard.

There was a lot of music used in the trailers... but I imagine you are probably talking about this theme:

It's called Redrum and is done by Immediate Music, a company that makes music with the specific idea that it will be used in trailers. So Redrum has been used in a variety of places, even outside of trailers as well as it was used during the beginning of the third 20th Century Boys from Toho.

Does anybody know what :29-:39 is, or if it is even a music cue?
