3:54 That march always gives me goosebumps. Even if it was just the piano it gives me the same effect. It has to be the rhythm, the motif and its chord progression. It is so addictive to listen to. I didn't no much about Akira Ifukube until recently I heard some of his compositions. His such a genius and a legend.
I’m my opinion the three movies represented here are the pinnacle of Toho Kaiju movies. Everything came together, great special effects, good stories and acting and of course Ifukube’s best scores.
