O.S.T./SUNSHUKE KIKUCHI – HURRICANE POLYMAR

Shunsuke Kikuchi is one of the best-known composers of background music for Japanese television and film soundtracks. Active since the early 1960s, he is largely associated with anime and tokusatsu films. The Hurricane Polymar series of action anime was initiated in 1974, the plot concerning a crime fighter with a special suit that allows him to change shape while wearing it. This soundtrack album is drawn from the original series, with tense music for fight scenes, heroic fanfares saluting our hero and other semi-electronic interludes, showing the allure of Kikuchi’s atmospheric compositions.
