Best known for his
work on the Ultraman series, Kunio Miyauchi
actually trained not to be a composer initially,
but a trumpet player. Unfortunately, due to Tuberculosis,
Miyauchi was unable to pursue this dream and
instead shifted his focus toward a career as a
composer. His early work was primarily in radio
before he moved on to film scoring in 1960. His
first two scores were for the Toho movies Submission
to the President's Glorious Wife and The
Human Vapour. He continued scoring films
up until the mid-1960's, when Miyauchi made the
shift toward television with the show Ultra
Q. From that point on Miyauchi would primarily
stay in the realm of television and movies related
to those characters, only briefly returning to
do a full score for Toho's All
Monsters Attack (1969). |
