REVIEW

February 18, 2023

Bukimisha commemorates the 30th Anniversary of "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah" (1991) with an amazing a capella recording of the film's soundtrack. As with all of their previous work, they capture the sound and mood of each cue with their unique vocal arrangements. While all of the basic themes in this film have appeared in earlier Ifukube scores (and other Bukimisha recordings), the group takes great care in conveying how they were adapted for this particular movie.

Bukimisha CDs are available to non-Japanese buyers through BOOTH (The International Indie Art Marketplace) by using a proxy service or other intermediary: https://bukimisya-maal.booth.pm/
