I don't know about any of you fans but for me as a guitarist the coolest thing about Godzilla is the connection between beast and music, not only in amazing movie scores but Godzilla itself. I worry about the trailer I did see for the sound of Godzilla but also I'm gonna be really bummed if I don't hear any classic Ifukube compositions in the new Godzilla. They need to at least put in his friggin theme. Any how here's a medley I made of the 1954 Godzilla themes. I hope you like it it makes me miss Ifukube. RIP Akira! if you like akira ifukube check out this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Uje0HF4y8

As much as I respect Ifukube and enjoy his themes, I think it's time to let them go and move on. We have 50 years of Ifukube's music in the series. It dominated the 1960s and nearly beat Godzilla's theme into the ground. Then that same theme (including Godzilla's march from the first film) was used in almost every Heisei movie and the first three Millennium flicks. The most annoying part is it would often play without variation or deviation from how it was arranged 50-60 years ago... No, let Alexandre Desplat do his own thing. I'm looking forward to a new theme for a new generation of Godzilla. I can't wait to hear what Desplat has come up with.

i will miss akira for sure god rest his soul he made the best music for the godzilla films and nothing can compare to him on monster music akira ifukube was the man when it came to godzilla films or any monster film for that matter and as far as this movie goes it must use the main godzilla theme it is a part of godzilla just like his signature atomic breath attack i can not say i will like for someone else to make a godzilla film without the theme i do not want another zilla 98 film all over again the movie wasnt to bad but the fact that it was not godzilla made everything suck i wanted to see godzilla not a damn iguana on the loose laying eggs i could have seen that in a damn zoo or on the discovery channel for crying out loud but any way they have to use at least godzillas theme for this movie if not oh well i can say i will hate it if they dont but from the trailer i saw and from everything i have read this film is going to rule regardless of akiras music not being in it i would love for them to but we will have to wait and watch the film when it comes out
