DESTOROYAAAAAAAAAHH!!!
Thank you guys for your interest in the soundtracks for the Heisei series! Enjoy!
All credits go to Akira Ifukube (the Best). Really one of his best scores as well as one of the best Godzilla movies ever. Let us have a minute of silence for the King of all Monsters.

Rest in peace, Satsuma Kenpachiro.

[@Minillus]

Most people don't notice it, but the Heisei Era it's probably the best Godzilla Era out there. It was narratively understandable, relatable characters, funny plots and something almost impossible in recent movies: Balance between human drama and monster action. And it's also one of the few times when Godzilla was treated as if he was a human character. I still consider Godzilla vs Destoroyah to be the definitive Godzilla movie, alongside the 1954 film The Heisei Era had the best fitting ending in the saga, and that ain't repeating again, not very soon at least

[@Guyverman01]

For whoever is reading this, I want to tell you something. We are all guilty of sin, we have made many trespasses against God, and the wages of sin are death. We deserved to die, yet Jesus died in our place. He loves his life without sin, and took our punishment for us. Jesus isn’t dead anyway, he has been resurrected, and is in heaven with god. Jesus is the son of God, and God allowed him to live and die for us, so that whoever believes may have eternal life instead of death. I hop you gain faith, you can be baptized for the remission of sins, and too accept God and Jesus into your life. God bless you.
