Six years after its start, the soundtrack based "Godzilla Perfect Collection" is finally set to be complete next month (April 25th, 2010) with the sixth in the series. This last box in the set contains the soundtracks to: Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000), Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002), Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003), Godzilla: Final Wars (2004), and GODZILLA (1998) as a bonus. The set is a total of nine CDs in all, with the extra CDs being made up of three in total for Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) and two for GODZILLA (1998). Although more definitive details will have to wait until its released, a full track listing has been disclosed which does give an idea how these will stack up with previous releases. Below is translated listing of those, and some thoughts compared with the earlier CDs.

Couple of things to note here. First is that the "Newsreel" theme, M1, is finally present, complete with the original source and Michiru Oshima's version of it. Second is that cue M3 and M21 have each been broken in two after previously appearing as a two single tracks. The Akira Ifukube tracks from the Victor release (VICL-60613) have been added in, while all of the content from the DVD bonus CD (NCS-261) is present. The unused cues have been moved to the end of the CD, though, which is good as Toho Music had picked up a bad habit for the past two boxes of placing these with the used ones. M37 is gone here, but this was simply a repeat of cue M22.

This soundtrack got a better update than the previous one, although its harder to spot the new cues since the Tokuma CD (TKCA-72279) did not contain cue numbers. So one will have to compare running times to see what might be new. From doing that, it appears that M3, M6, M8, M11, M12, M14, M16, M23, and M24 are new. That's nine themes in total, although many are short. Oddly, the isolated themes for Godzilla and the Great Monster War March, both stock, are gone compared with the previous disc (probably because they appear elsewhere in Box 4). All of the bonus content on this set, which are demos and "edits", are new. Time will tell if that content is worthwhile or not.

Not much has changed here compared with the King Record CD (KICA-586). Cue M2 has been broken in two tracks. M5 + M6, M10 + M11, M16 + M17, M18 + M19, M20 + M21, M27 + M28, and M29 + M30 appear by themselves finally. Otherwise the early tracks are the same. The bonus tracks are... unclear on what they are. The first is a different edit, but the others are unmarked although a few do have different runtimes compared with the used tracks with the same names.

This CD is, like the one before it, similar to its King Record counterpart (KICA-620). It breaks up all the joined tracks, and breaks up M30. The disc has a few edits at the end too... but is otherwise unchanged. Sadly, Toho Music mixed the unused music with the material that was used in the film (M9, M11, M19, M20, M22, M28, and M36 do not appear in the movie). On the plus side, the "Send-Off Party BGM" will make its debut here.

Obviously, this film got the largest update to its soundtrack. Due to the fact that the previous release did not have cue numbers, one will have to guess with the runtimes what might be new. It would seem that the new cues include M2A (although this is from the Ending Titles), M5, M9, M16, M17, M20, M26B, M27, M29, M35, M36, and much more like the "We Love X" stuff. Other tracks were broken up, while edits of others are found and surround 5.1 channel material is also present. The changes are diverse and in the end will take hearing it to grasp what type of shape this three disc offering presents. Oddly enough, it seems that track four from the Victor release (VICP-62936) is in question if it is present, unless this is one of the demo tracks. The rest of the unique edits found on the earlier soundtrack appear to cover the early tracks of disc three as well. Oh, and if anyone was curious, no SUM41 song for the Zilla scene.

As a side note, it seems that one of these discs will be in the Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003) case, so that none of the cases will contain more than two discs.

This selection is identical to the two disc set that La-La Land Records released in 2007 (LLLCD-1058). Everything is unchanged, including the titles... well they did add cue numbers, which use a system that is unhelpful to more general consumers really. Regardless, this is a little disappointing, given that most English soundtrack fans probably already picked this up. Furthermore, it would have been nice if Toho Music had broken up some of the lengthier tracks so that there wasn't a lot of themes compiled together, like track 3 on disc 2. Regardless, anyone who missed the original, which is now out of print, has a second chance to pick up this wonderful release.

Update: Toho Music will be distributing a special DVD based on the recording sessions of Akira Ifukube with these box sets, although the exact details on how to get it are forthcoming. It sounds like they will be attempting to target consumers who purchased all six, though. The runtime of the DVD will be split in the following way:

- August 5th, 1983, Akira Ifukube Symphonic Fantasia - Hibiya [19:01 minutes]
- August 12th, 1986, Ostinato - King Records Recording Studio Otowa [24:33 minutes]
- September 2nd, 1992, Godzilla vs. Mothra - Toho Recording Studio [15:54 minutes]
- August 28th, 1995, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah - Toho Recording Studio [2:39 minutes]

No word on if people ordering the set outside of Japan might still be able to get the DVD. Ark Square, who will be selling the set internationally, is awaiting for Toho Music to hammer out the details and will begin accepting orders for the 6th box as soon as the bonus DVD aspect is finalized.

Update: Ark Square it seems will be giving out the DVD as well, under the following conditions which they posted: "The customers who already bought previous five box sets and to place a pre-order of this BOX 6, a bonus DVD will be shipped with BOX 6 (the additional postage of $2.40 will be applied). Please name all five serial numbers written on the previous each box sets on the comments field on your order form when placing a pre-order of BOX 6"
