Typically directors have a go-to person for this kind of thing: Spielberg to Williams. Nolan to Zimmer. In the Godzilla realm: Honda to Ifukube. Kaneko to Otani. Tezuka to Oshima.
It's not a rule, but more often than not directors stick to their previous composers. So who are the consistant composers for Anno and Higuchi? Well...
Anno's composer for his anime material has largely just been Shiro Sagisu. The thing is he doesn't always, and arguably rarely, use Sagisu for live-action stuff. Sagisu is mostly known for scoring everything Evangelion. Here's a good example of his work:
Now the because Sagisu has mostly been limited to anime by Anno, I didn't think he'd have a huge chance of scoring Godzilla '16.
Then I discovered that Higuchi's composer for the Attack on Titan movies is Shiro Sagisu!
Considering that both directors have worked with this guy, I feel like he's a shoe-in for Godzilla '16. This isn't confirmation, but I feel 65-70% sure this will be our guy.
If not, who would you like to score it? I wouldn't exactly cry if Otani or Oshima returned, but they've had their go at it. I think I want to hear something new. Personally, I'd like to hear the composer of the Attack on Titan anime have a crack at it, Hiroyuki Swano!
^I mean come on!
