Military Suite | GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (Soundtrack by Kow Otani)

The Military Suite from Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), composed by Kow Otani, adopts a somber, almost reverential tone that reflects humanity confronting its own historical guilt. Low brass, slow martial rhythms, and restrained percussion portray the Self-Defense Forces as disciplined but spiritually burdened. The music avoids heroic gestures, emphasizing defense, evacuation, and reluctant engagement. Otani’s themes often feel weighed down, underscoring the sense that military action cannot atone for past atrocities embodied by Godzilla. By the film’s end, the suite frames armed resistance as necessary but morally insufficient against a force driven by vengeance. 0:00 - The Menacing Claw Mark 0:41 - Cruiser Aizu 1:08 - Dark Vision 1:27 - Attack Preparation 2:05 - A Tense Moment 3:10 - God of the Sky: King Ghidorah 3:24 - D-03 Missile Salvo 4:00 - Determined to Protect the Future 7:47 - A Salute to the Spirits of the War Dead Music rights belongs to Kow Otani and the movie belongs to © Toho Co., Ltd.
