[Limited Release] (limited to 5,000 copies)

One of my most often played CDs is the score for "Ultraman Great: Towards the Future," the Australian filmed series composed by Shinsuke Kazato. For the second animated Ultraman adventure (made by Hanna-Barbera, creators of "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons") produced a year earlier than the live series, Kazato-san works his musical magic once again. The genesis of many of his "Ultraman Great" themes can be found here, including the main title, which was actually composed first for this film. Shinichi Ishihara and Yuu Aku provide the theme song.
