Oshima follows up her amazing score for Godzilla
Against Mechagodzilla (2002) with this impressive
offering for the film's sequel. For this soundtrack,
Oshima presents up a number of great themes, including
"The Miracle on Campus", "The Diet
Building" and the incredible "Main Title".
The problem with this score, though, is that it tends
to retread a little too much ground from the soundtrack
for the 2002 film, owing some of its best cues to
reworked themes from the previous picture. It's nothing
too severe, and the themes that do reappear, such
as the Godzilla and Kiryu themes, are outstanding
enough that repetition is never a concern. As for
the film's version of "Mothra's Song", done
here by actress Masami Nagasawa, it's not bad, although
certainly not as pleasant as the original that was
sung by Emi Ito and Yumi Ito or the Heisei series
rendering of it by Sayaka Osawa and Keiko Imamura.
In terms of the added material, this CD comes with
two "Unused Music" tracks that cover seven
cues that didn't make it into the final film. The
other bonuses include four tracks dedicated to the
movie's sound effects, and then a more pop oriented
version of "Mothra's Song", once again done
by Masami Nagasawa.
