Compilation of Theme and Insert Songs from the Godzilla Series Through the Years (21–30)

Prayer of MiyarabiBerubera Rīn

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla: “Prayer of Miyarabi”
Prayer of MiyarabiBerubera Rīn

One of the theme songs from Godzilla vs.

Mechagodzilla, the 14th film in the Godzilla series released in 1974, sung by Bervera Lin.

Its melody and lyrics were steeped in the Showa-era kayō (pop) mood, quite different from the atmosphere of a kaiju special-effects film.

The lyrics were by Jun Fukuda, and the music and arrangement were by Masaru Sato.

Godzilla vs. Mothra Theme SongIfukube Akira

This is the main theme song from the 1992 film Godzilla vs.

Mothra.

The series in which Mothra appears has a somewhat melancholy atmosphere, unlike the others.

Personally, I liked Mothra, so I always hoped Godzilla would refrain from his usual rampaging.

Give it back! The sun.Mari Keiko

Give It Back! The Sun (Godzilla vs. Hedorah Main Title)
Give it back! The sun.Mari Keiko

This is the theme song of Godzilla vs.

Hedorah, the 11th film in the Godzilla series, released in July 1971.

The lyrics were written by Yoshimitsu Sakano, the music was composed by Riichiro Manabe, and it was performed by Keiko Mari with the Honey Knights & Moondrops.

The work addresses pollution, which was a major social issue at the time, and the song “Return! The Sun” conveys criticism of the smoke from factories that had dirtied the sky.

In conclusion

We’ve introduced the theme songs and insert tracks used in Godzilla films and anime so far.
