The Shin Godzilla Original Soundtrack (catalog number KICS-3400), also officially labeled as the Shin Godzilla Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on July 29, 2016, with original music by Shirō Sagisu, as well as music he created for the Evangelion franchise. It also contains stock pieces from several Godzilla movies composed by Akira Ifukube.

As with the releases of Shirō Sagisu's Rebuild of Evangelion scores, two editions were released. The complete soundtrack was released in Japan, while the American release features the music as edited for the film itself and as such does not include the bonus tracks.

Trivia[]

  • The North American release of the soundtrack erroneously mislabels Main Title - Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II - Finale Part 4 as "Main Title - (From Invasion of the Astro Monster), Pt. 2", and in turn labels the previous track before it as "Pt. 1" rather than "Part 3", despite the theme of Pt. 2 being from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, and not Invasion of the Astro Monster.
  • Several tracks are reimagined or remixed versions of tracks previously written by Shiro Sagisu:
    • The tracks labelled "EM20" are rhythmic edits of the track =EM20= "Bataille Décisive" from EVANGELION 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone
    • The track Black Angels is a redux of the Bleach track called What Can You See In Their Eyes.
    • GZM14_SS103_GZM is a reprise of "Famously..." from the soundtrack of EVANGELION 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo, without the vocalist recital.
  • Sagisu attempted to 'remaster' the tracks taken directly from previous Godzilla scores into stereo by recording new orchestral overlays. This is most noticeable in the track Godzilla Appears. However, these versions were not used in the film or the North American release.
    • Godzilla Appears has both the original recording, and the version overlaid with the stereo recording.
  • Unlike most composers, Sagisu uses English vocals throughout the score, to make it seem unsettling and ambient.
  • Prototype versions of several tracks in Shin Godzilla appear on the album Evangelion Infinity
