      From: reaperg@aol.com              1914: AKIRA IFUKUBE is born in Kushiro, Hokkaido. He provided the scores for       twelve Godzilla movies: "Godzilla, King of the Monsters", "King Kong vs.       Godzilla", "Godzilla vs. the Thing", "Ghidrah -- the Three-Headed Monster",       "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero",        "Destroy All Monsters", "Godzilla on Monster Island", "Terror of       Mechagodzilla", "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah", "Godzilla vs. Mothra: The Battle       for Earth", "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla", and "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah", with       his themes included in "Godzilla        Fantasia", "Godzilla vs. Biollante", "Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla", "Godzilla       2000", "Godzilla vs. Megaguirus", "Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant       Monsters All-Out Attack", "Godzilla: Final Wars", and the video game "Super       Godzilla", as well as "       Rodan", "The Mysterians", "Varan the Unbelievable", "Battle in Outer Space",       "The Whale God", "Atragon" (reprised in the "Sazer-X" movie), "The Little       Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon", "Frankenstein Conquers the World", "War       of the Gargantuas", the        Daimajin trilogy, "King Kong Escapes", "Latitude Zero", and "Yog -- Monster       from Space".
