Godzilla Legend Live in Concert 2014

Right now Godzilla is back and has made quite a sensation all over the world.

This year is truly special - the 60th anniversary of the first movie, and the centennial of Ikukube Akira's birth. Mr. Ifukube is one of the greatest composer in post-WWII Japan and gave us a lot of beautiful music including the splendid soundtrack of the original Godzilla.

Naturally, there must be some commemorations.

Godzilla Legend is a solo project of Inoue Makoto. Inoue is a man of many faces - an original member of Hikashu, a devotee of Japanese kaiju movie, a diligent historian of Japanese underground theatre movement in 1960-70s, and the authority of the works by Ifukube Akira, who has been his esteem since childhood.

So Godzilla Legend is back as well. And the line-up is a killer. All the members of Hikashu is there. Two drums, three keyboards, a full horn section, and the charanpo sisters as cute little pixies. The concert of orchestral Godzilla Legend is the first time since mid 80s. This is a precious opportunity, and must be a beautiful evening. An absolute must-see.
