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

The King Ghidorah Suite from Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001), composed by Kow Otani, reinvents the iconic villain with a heroic twist, as this version of Ghidorah serves as one of Earth’s guardian monsters. Otani trades the usual ominous, militaristic tone for a more uplifting, noble orchestration, using bright brass fanfares and soaring strings to suggest valor rather than malevolence. The music still carries a sense of power and majesty, but its harmonies are warmer and more resolute, reflecting Ghidorah’s role as a protector. Percussion is used sparingly, supporting rather than dominating the theme, allowing the brass to shine in a triumphant, almost knightly manner. This bold reinterpretation turns the space dragon into a mythic champion without sacrificing his grandeur. 0:00 - King Ghidorah’s Roar 0:02 - Village Spirits 0:18 - Protection: The Legendary Sacred Beasts 0:31 - Premonition 0:48 - The Mysterious Old Man 3:06 - Cries of Sorrow 3:20 - The Arcane Stone 3:49 - The Sleeping Three-Headed Dragon 4:29 - Revived Legend 5:17 - Signs of Revival 5:27 - God of the Sea: Mothra 6:12 - Unleashed Spirits of the War Dead 7:07 - God of the Sky: King Ghidorah 8:24 - Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah 8:46 - Godzilla’s Rage Music rights belongs to Kow Otani and King Ghidorah, and the movie, belongs to © Toho Co., Ltd.
