AKIRAIFUKUBE.ORG is the official English language website devoted to the great Japanese composer, Akira Ifukube.
AKIRA
IFUKUBE
Akira Ifukube was a pre-eminent Japanese composer. His vast oeuvre includes such concert masterpieces as Japanese Rhapsody (1935), Ballata Sinfonica (1943) and Sinfonia Tapkaara (1954, revised 1979). However, Ifukube is perhaps best known as a composer of music for the cinema. He composed nearly 300 film scores, including most of those from the classic Godzilla series. Many consider his music for Godzilla (1954) to be one of the most important film scores of all time.
Website Improvements Underway! AKIRAIFUKUBE.ORG has existed since April 2006. Since then, the site has experienced several changes and, hopefully, each time it has changed it has gotten better. I am yet again changing the look of the website and simplifying/consolidating its layout and content. Perhaps the biggest improvement to come will be an expanded, more comprehensive biography of the composer. I kindly ask that visitors to this site be patient during the upgrade process, which will take months. If you notice that some pages look different than others, please know that this is only temporary! If you have any questions about the changes coming to this site, please feel free to contact me. - Erik C. Homenick, Webmaster VISITOR
