R.I.P. Kenpachiro Satsuma 1947-2023 😢🕊

The little bits of Godzilla's theme song hit hard. Ifukube was one of the greatest composers who ever lived. He called the Godzilla Vs. Destroyah OST his magnum opus, I can't help but agree.

In Memory of Tomoyuki Tanaka (1910-1997) In Memory of Ishirō Honda (1911-1993) In Memory of Akira Ifukube (1914-2006) In Memory of Eiji Tsubaraya (1901-1970) In Memory of Harou Nakajima (1929-2017) In Memory of Akihiko Hirata (1927-1984) In Memory of Akira Takarada (1934-2022) In Memory of Momoko Kōchi (1932-1998) In Memory of Takashi Shimura (1905-1982)

My heart breaks, every time I hear this. I am a 56 year old man, and I cry. Godzilla is my friend. He has been all my life. When a friend dies, it hurts. Goodbye my friend. You will be in my heart til it stops beating.

Rest in peace Kenpachiro Satsuma (1947-2023). You truly were the best Godzilla suit actor alongside Haruo Nakajima. 😢😢😢

"Anyone Who Has Never Made A Mistake Has Never Tried Anything New." -- Albert Einstein

Hearing this when Junior defeated Gigan Rex was a whole mix of emotions.. Man..

The fact that this song makes you cry over a giant melting lizard shows just how good it is

I am on the verge of crying everytime I listen to this. So powerful, but it’s sad to see Godzilla meltdown at the end of the film. But nice to see Junior revived and mutated into a fully grown Godzilla.

Most people don't notice it, but the Heisei Era it's probably the best Godzilla Era out there. It was narratively understandable, relatable characters, funny plots and something almost impossible in recent movies: Balance between human drama and monster action. And it's also one of the few times when Godzilla was treated as if he was a human character. I still consider Godzilla vs Destoroyah to be the definitive Godzilla movie, alongside the 1954 film The Heisei Era had the best fitting ending in the saga, and that ain't repeating again, not very soon at least

Akira Ifukube is the best composer on the movie history between John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Hans Zimmer and Ennio Morricone!

Don’t worry, Godzilla never truly dies. Long live the king.

this is the only movie i ever cried over perfect ending to the heisei era rest in peace tomoyuki tanaka 1910-1997

“Goodbye, old friend” Dr. Ishiro Serizawa 2019

This had me in tears as a kid, and it still gets me to this day.

Kenpachiro Satsuma died today on December 16th, 2023. Rest in Peace. We will all miss you dearly.

Upon hearing of Takarada San's death, I stopped everything I was doing, played this, and saluted him. Thank You for the memories, Takarada San.

Rest in piece kenpachiro satsuma (1947-2023) The 2nd Godzilla From 1984-1995 😢😢😢😢😢

God I never forgot how much this scene impacted me when I was a young child 😢...This was my very first experience with Godzilla actually dying in the series and it crushed me to say the least, especially since I believed that Godzilla would never die...In a way it is true because of Junior having been revived in the end plus the series continued after this thankfully but man this scene was and still is a huge tearjerker for me to this day. Ifukube's powerful music and legacy will never be forgotten!

I’d actually love to have this song at my funeral. Really I would.

Clearly this is Ifukube's best composition out of all his composition's for the Gojira Franchise.

This song always makes me cry, this movie is by far my favorite heisei godzilla film, maybe my favorite of the godzilla series, it gives you those feels, plus introducing an epic final villain for this version of godzilla, this movie, will always be treasured by me

Rest in peace, Kenpachiro Satsuma the suit actor of Godzilla in the heisei era. 😞

Rest in Peace Kenpachiro Satsuma the best suits actor (1947-2023) ❤️

0:24-0:38 even the music is crying

RIP Kenpachiro Satsuma❤

when girls cried: Titanic When men cried: THIS SONG

This song makes me cry, especially while thinking of Godzilla's final moments

If Godzilla ended with this movie and not get continued this would be the perfect send off to the King

The most terrifying word to a G-fan: “Meltdown!”

RIP Kempachiro Satsuma

The monsterverse has to end like this. Godzilla has to fight Destoroyah, win and then die with this theme playing. Pays homage to the original

Holy shit, I just realized Bear McCreary took this bit 1:50 - 2:14 and incorporated it into Rebirth near the end

Rest in peace, Satsuma Kenpachiro.

very fiting for Akira Ifukube's final score ever for a godzilla film. What a send off not just to godzilla but to one of the best composers in history. Rest well Akira Ifukube.

R.I.P Kenpachiro Satsuma

The Most Beautiful Song Ever To Be Heard In The Heisei Series

I can't help but to cry when I hear this track, especially when it starts to crescendo near the start.

Dr. Kensaku Ijuin: Godzilla's gone. He's turned Tokyo into a ghost city. Yukari Yamane: It looks like we've paid for it at the end. Dr. Kensaku Ijuin: Paid for what? Yukari Yamane: *All of it. All that stupid use of nuclear energy.*

Stand at attention friends, the Great One passes.

When Godzilla had a meltdown, the lady said "my work with Godzilla is done" i felt her sadness because she has been working with his baby and also him. This song will never be forgotten.

RIP Kenpachiro Satsuma 1947-2023

If the last day of earth had a song. This would be it

Akira Ifukube was one of the greatest Godzilla creator. This was like his death's music! Everyone wants this to be in their Fenural right? I WILL TOO HONESTLY! Even if I die. His theme will be in my graveyard. Long Live The True King! Legendary Godzilla is never the king! Heisei is! Long live Heisei!

He can´t got the Requiem, but he goes to the Heaven.

In Memory of Godzilla 1954-1995

The King is dead. Long live the King

I want this to play in my funeral

“Monsters are tragic beings; they are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, they are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy.” - Ishiro Honda The First Director of the series

1:53 - 2:14 I cried by this scene

Rest in peace Akira takarada

The best and saddest godzilla mivie

In memoriam 1984-1995 Goodbye, old friend

Akira Takarada, legendary star of the very first Godzilla film from 1954, as well as Mothra vs Godzilla, Invasion of Astro Monster, Ebirah: Horror of the Deep, Godzilla & Mothra: Battle for Earth & Godzilla: Final Wars has passed away. Saraba, tomoyo~

So, just realized this. The monster verse has to end like this, I would be crying so much

This music WILL play at my funeral

Godzilla has never friends all he knows is pain and suffering

0:56 The Most Beautiful Part

Listening to this after hearing of Kenpachiro Satsuma’s passing.

...Long Live The King (Junior)

R.i.p Godzilla go to the best heaven you it my good heroes all the time

That start is terrifying ngl

Some say this song works on anything- No. This song only works on the saddest scene in film history.

1:08 very beautiful choir

One of the saddest scenes of the entire Godzilla franchise (other than seeing Plot Armor beat the s**t out of King Ghidorah). One of the only Godzilla movies where Godzilla dies (excluding the ones where Godzilla is an antagonist). I remember crying until I fell asleep lol. I can’t believe that this was actually going to be the very last Godzilla movie ever made. It’s a fitting ending for a final movie. But then the people wanted more so they were given more. #Godzilla4Life!

1200°C MELTDOWN Kenkichi: Meltdown. 0:00 Kuroki: Fire at will! Super XIII Pilot #1: ULT lasers, maximum power. Fire 1. (Fire 1) Super XIII Pilot #2: Fire 2. Maximum power. (Fire 2) (Freezer weapons throw everything they got at Godzilla) (Radiation levels skyrockets) Kuroki: The radiation's off the charts! (Godzilla sets off a death roar while melting in a blinding flash of light) Kensaku: Godzilla's gone. He's turned Tokyo into a ghost city. Yukari: Looks like we paid for it in the end. Kensaku: Paid for what? Yukari: All of it. All that stupid waste of nuclear energy. Miki: My job is done now, Godzilla.😢 3:50 (Kenichi sees the radiation on the monitor declining rapidly) Kenkichi: The radiation's disappearing, sir.

Not a single dislike, all is good with the world

People that were in the 1990s probably said their final goodbyes to Gojira or Godzilla

That one dislike is probably from DESUTROYAAAAAAAAHHHH

1:42 The King’s Downfall.

Where girls cried: Titanic Where men cried: Godzilla Vs. Destroyah When future teenagers will cry: *Monsterverse Godzilla Vs. Destroyah when Godzilla melts down with this song*

In Loving Memory of Kevin Conroy (1955-2022)

At this moment… all G-fans were silent and still. As we all watched our hero slowly slump away and melt to mush. Some were silent, some cried… we knew that Godzilla was finished. But there’s always a shimmer of hope in the end.

The Three best movie scores out there Have got to be The LionKing, Jurassic Park & Godzilla vs Destoroyah!!!!

I'd listen to this music when I'm dying

2019 Listening to Sad Songs Everywhere

So good

Actually one of Ifukube's best! It doesn't have the problems I have with his music for the series, and it's great!!

I had recently been through a lot of pain, I can not imagine what he went through. It makes me feel weak.

Best moment 0:57

This is the song of my funeral

Long live the king *sobs uncontrollably *

😯😑😖😢😭😭😳🙁😌 I think thats all I need to describe this

Ich muss jedes mal heulen wen ich das höre.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Uma verdadeira obra de arte.

This is what I'll be playing in my mind if Rexy gets killed off in Jurassic World Dominion.

One of the most saddest songs in the franchise😔😔😔😔😔

😔 sad song rip 🪦 Godzilla

Why i....m cry-ing?......😭

My cremation song in my will

The death of ash theme Pokémon armada season 23 episode 69

My eyes have gotten sweaty for some reason.

I think I know what happened when this film was being made.

When I think of this, I see Titanus Gojira and Titanus Mosura being reunited for the first time in years, since the "Battle in Boston"

rest in peace godzilla junior you will be missed

0:55

This is what I hear for the end of Godzilla 1:53

1974~2023 RIP really Heisei godzilla
