NEW RELEASE:
REBIRTH OF MOTHRA - ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK LP
When an ancient monster is accidentally released from its underground prison, there's only one kaiju you can count on to defend us all: Mothra!
Directed by Okihiro Yoneda, with a story by the great GODZILLA creator Tomoyuki Tanaka, REBIRTH OF MOTHRA sees the legendary lepidopteran protect the human race from Belvera, the evil sister of Mothra's twin priestesses. She wants to destroy the world with the superspace demon beast Desghidorah, a three-headed extraterrestrial dragon. But Belvera and her monster aren't counting on the larva of Mothra joining the fight. Enter Mothra Leo!
Toshiyuki Watanabe was brought in to score REBIRTH OF MOTHRA, son of the great tokusatsu and anime composer Michiaki Watanabe (YOKAI MONSTERS: 100 MONSTERS, MAZINGER Z), living up to his legacy by supplying a bold and thrilling orchestral score. Watanabe's music is full of ethereal beauty, with a fantastic opening title cue, replete with a glorious female choir to celebrate Earth's greatest defender and full-blooded brass magnificence as Mothra and son fight against the evil Belvera and Desghidora.
And of course, it wouldn't be complete without Yuji Koseki's classic Mothra's Song: Over time, over sea, like a wave - our guardian angel! (Charlie Brigden)
