"Segodon (TV Drama)" Original Soundtrack II (Music by Harumi Fuuki)Tatsuya Shimono (con), NHK Symphony Orchestra, Anna Sato, Sarah Alainn, Dai Hirai, Minami Kizuki,Yosuke Yamashita, et al.Magpie music (mix of styles)
Excellent TV drama soundtrack series from Harumi Fuuki continues. Vol 2 is even better, with a stronger mix of styles. More compositions inspired by traditional Japanese music too, which to my ignorant ears sounds fresh and exciting. With albums like this, where I haven't seen the show the music was written for, the score is left to conjure images and ideas on its own. I have no idea what Segodon is about, but I like to imagine it's a Butterfly Effect-type story about a foolish time traveler who finds himself back in various eras of Japan's history, meeting historical figures and mucking up the timeline, then coming back to present day Japan to see how history has been altered.

"Godzilla Minus One (Godzilla-1.0)" (Movie) Original SoundtrackOriginal Soundtrack (Music by Naoki Sato)Godzilla Minus One CD Soundtrack!
Absolutely great film! It deserves an "Academy Award" (or equivalent) for Best Picture of the Year! My purchase of this CD soundtrack to this stunning film, re-making of Godzilla's origin after 70 Years of film history, is fantastic. "Godzilla-1.0" is an exceptionally filmed and complete story. Beautiful cinematography, an inspiring story of people, and wonderful music and SFX. I've loved Godzilla since I first saw the 1954 film when I was four year old, almost 59 years ago! I am in awe... I feel priveledged to still be around to enjoy this emotional and creative story, in such a thrilling artistic rendition! Domo Arigatogozaimasu CDJapan!

"Godzilla Minus One (Godzilla-1.0)" (Movie) Original SoundtrackOriginal Soundtrack (Music by Naoki Sato)Beautiful, Surreal and Reflective
Naoki Sato does a powerful and moving take on the King of the Monsters. Including a few traditional themes from Godzilla movie's past, Sato offers mostly surreal, atmospheric pieces that cause you to reflect on the horror or emotion taking place. - and this is reflected even in the track names. The Godzilla suites are excellent and pieces such as Hope, Last and Pray will have you thinking about the situations long after seeing this movie. In some ways, it is not easiest Godzilla soundtrack to listen to, but you will be emotionally moved. Recommended for the Godzilla fan or those who reflective or horrific, fantastical ambience.

"Godzilla Minus One (Godzilla-1.0)" (Movie) Original SoundtrackOriginal Soundtrack (Music by Naoki Sato)Sato does it again
Naoki Sato's score for Godzilla Minus One starkly shows the different approaches between Japan and Hollywood when it comes to film scoring. Compare this boldly minimalist, richly-textured, quietly brooding, drone-infused score with the hyper bombast of Tom Holkenborg's Godzilla Vs Kong. It's night and day. While I like some of Holkenborg's score, in a battle of Sato vs Holkenborg, Sato easily wins. Stomps on him, in fact. I say that because Holkenborg said in an interview that he thought Akira Ifukube's original Godzilla theme was laughable, and was surprised it was so highly regarded. Blasphemy! Tom, the original Godzilla theme, lovingly included here in a respectful homage, is iconic, memorable and enduring, which are three words no one will ever use to describe your very boring score for Godzilla Vs Kong. Show some respect for the giant whose shoulders you're standing on. Sato demonstrates that respect in his fascinating, multi-layered score for Godzilla Minus One.

"Mary and the Witch's Flower (Animated Feature)" Original SoundtrackOriginal Soundtrack (Music by Takatsugu Muramatsu)Total delight from start to finish
A superb soundtrack composed by Takatsugu Muramatsu (When Marnie Was There). Highly recommended if you like Joe Hisaishi's wonderful scores for Hayao Miyazaki's films, as this is very much in that tradition. Lovely melodies to transport you to another world.

Once Upon A Time In HollywoodOriginal SoundtrackTurn it up, play it LOUD!!
Like the movie this will require repeated plays...like heavy rotation. Get in with your crowd, your buds from way back & pop in the slot. From the very first time to closing time you'll get it..some tracks are better than others but none are bad. Most very good. Sound quality is strictly high- fidelity not great but good enough. Sounds good in the car or home...have a beer or two and travel back in time... P.S. If you haven't seen the movie do so now.

Omoide no Marnie (When Marnie Was There) Santora Ongaku ShuOriginal Soundtrack (Music by Takatsugu Muramatsu)Gorgeous music for Ghibli film
This two-disc album of Takatsugu Muramatsu's score for the Ghibli film When Marnie Was There contains the image album on Disc 1 and the film score on Disc 2. The film score is lovely and worthwhile, but the fairly short (22 min) Image album is worth the price alone. The five tracks (not including a piano reprise of "Anna") are utterly sublime. Muramatsu has composed sumptuous, grand, emotional music that recalls Joe Hisaishi at his finest.

Shinkansen DaibakuhaSoundtrackBullet Train
I remember seeing the heavy edited (and poorly dubbed) version of this movie way back when and was always impressed by the score. Back then you couldn't find the soundtrack anywhere for love or money, which was a pity. 2017, I'm in my Osaka hotel room and on the TV comes Shinkansen! Awesome. Next day I'm off to hit all of the music retailers to see if I can get the soundtrack. Most said it was deleted try the second-hand dealers. No joy. 2022 I'm browsing through CDJapan's quite comprehensive soundtrack section and lo and behold, there it is! A knock-out soundtrack to a knock-out film that has just gotten better with age.
