    55-year-old Japanese composer Naoki Satō had his proper international breakthrough with GODZILLA MINUS ONE last year – a fine score within a Goldenthal-ian spirit, but not the “Second Coming” that people made it out to be.

    Personally, I discovered him in 2012 with his excellent score for UNMEI NO HITO, especially with that wild, beefed-up classical pastiche main theme. Three other recommendations since then are MORIBITO: GUARDIAN OF THE SPIRIT (2016), KYOJO (2020) and MASQUERADE NIGHT (2021).

    Not been that thrilled with his last few scores, but I’m constantly exploring his work — even all these years later. So any recommendations would be welcome.

    Never heard of him before GODZILLA. The scores was okay in the movie but it didn’t grab me at all.
