Reply To: Favorite Scores From Akira Ifukube’s Filmography
He retired from film work. He was somewhat forced back as he was dissatisfied with the treatment of his material for “Godzilla VS Biollante” (1989). When “Godzilla VS King Ghidorah” (1991) came around, his daughter suggested he score it. That way, he’d have greater control of his music. After scoring three additional Godzilla films and two documentaries, he went back into retirement in 1995. That’s the gist of it.
