Godzilla: Final Wars - Music from the Motion Picture is the film score to the 2004 film Godzilla: Final Wars composed by Keith Emerson, Nobuhiko Morino, and Daisuke Yano. The soundtrack was released on December 22, 2004 through Victor Records. In 2010, Toho Music released a 3-disc expansion of the soundtrack (as part of their 50th Anniversary Godzilla Soundtrack Perfect Collection Box Set) which included material not featured in the Victor Records release such as demos, extensions, remasters, complete compositions, and rejected tracks.

Production

Director Ryuhei Kitamura approached Keith Emerson to do the music for the film because he was a fan of Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Progressive Rock.^[1] Emerson was only given two weeks to write the film's music and wrote more tracks than what was used in the final cut.^[2] Nobuhiko Morino and Daisuke Yano contributed additional music to the soundtrack, however, Emerson did not collaborate with them.^[3]

The song We're All to Blame by Sum 41 is featured in the film during the battle between Godzilla and Zilla.
