Although the "fanfare" portion of the late Akira Ifukube's Godzilla Theme has made numerous appearances in the first eight episodes of Godzilla Singular Point, his famous march has yet to make its debut. Supposedly recorded before the Japan-only Youtube premiere of Singular Point, a clip of Godzilla's March has been making its rounds online. You can listen below:
Though it has not been confirmed that this piece is from Singular Point, the music matches rumors of the rendition including chanting.
Godzilla's March by Akira Ifukube was first heard in the main titles for the original 1954 film. It has since been used to underscore Godzilla in ten other films, including stock music in Shin Godzilla and a rendition by Bear McCreary for Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Ifukube's march is considered so iconic it was also heard in non-Godzilla films, including Always: Sunset on Third Street 2 and Ready Player One.
The latest version of Ifukube's march comes from series composer Kan Sawada. Sawada's score for Godzilla Singular Point is expected to be released July 21st, 2021.
Godzilla Singular Point will hit Netflix in North America, and the rest of the world, on Thursday, June 24th. It's currently airing in Japan on broadcast television and Netlfix.
In the year 2030, Yun Arikawa of the Otaki Factory, and grad student Mei Kamino, investigate mysterious signals that open up a new world of monsters.
Their alternate paths of research lead them to a mysterious substance founded by a missing scientist which could be the answer to, "the hopeless future" personified as Godzilla.
