Takayuki Hattori
It has been 18 years since "Godzilla 2000 Millennium. I am honestly happy to be back in the new Godzilla world opened up by "Shin Godzilla. This is the first animated film depicting Godzilla in its 63-year history, and I feel that it is a very big mission, but at the same time I am excited to be able to take on this challenge. I believe that this will be a Godzilla movie that you probably can't even imagine. I have tried to express the thoughts and feelings of the characters driven by directors Shizuno and Seshita, and the overwhelming presence of Godzilla, in my own way, through the music.
