Jet Jaguar Takes Action - Riichiro Manabe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Riichirō Manabe (真鍋理一郎, Manabe Riichirō?) (born November 9, 1924) is a Japanese composer who wrote the scores for numerous science fiction, horror, and kaiju films from 1956 to 1979. Among fans of these genre films, his music is has gained a less-than-positive reputation. His scores draw from jazz and dissonant modernism. For instance, Manabe's score for Godzilla vs. Hedorah has been described as "atrocious". The same source calls Godzilla vs. Megalon's score "more competent" but at the same time, "none pleasant to listen to".
