Soundtrack for the 1980 film Virus (Japanese title: Fukkatsu no hi, lit. Day of Resurrection). This is the missing orchestral music from the "OST" (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/virus-fukkatsu-no-hi-1980-teo-macero-85290/#post2478852). But what's missing here is the main theme sung by Janis Ian. Also, track 2, 11 are identical :S.

On the cover only Teo Macero is credited as the composer. In the booklet (and opening/ending film credits) he is credited as the "Music Producer", and Kentarō Haneda is credited as the composer:S. I just tagged them both as the composer. I don't really like this much, but hopefully this reaches those searching for the missing score.


Does anybody in Japan care about Teo Macero, though? At the time, Haneda was a superstar (to the extent that any film composer could be, anyway) in the late 1970s. "Kentaro Haneda" emblazoned across an LP cover would have sold more records than "Teo Macero" I think.

That leaves me to suspect that his credit as "composer and conductor" is either a genuine mistake, or is accurate. It is possible Haneda contributed themes and Macero composed the score based upon them. Macero was an insanely talented composer and conductor, let's not forget.

It's probably safe to say his credit as "conductor" is accurate - the score being performed by the London Philharmonic makes it almost a certainty that an English-speaking conductor would have been sought. (Incidentally, the Discogs credit for the album reveals that the orchestral pieces were arranged by Homer Denison, who is more famous for his work as Howard Shore's orchestrator on "The Fly". These guys, they get around, eh? :)

thanks Salat

thanks ! :)

Very very thanks for this!!

Thank you! :)

Wow! Thank you!!!!

Superb! Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Herr Salat, that was not the first and only thing happening in hiding the real composer.
Dirty Pair Flash 3 ost booklet does not credit Junichi Kanezaki as composer, but it credits ONLY Junko Miyagi. And that is a lie, as a Kanezaki sucker, you know very well which track was composed by Kanezaki and which is Junko Miyagi, plus, the fact that Junko is the synths player in the soundtrack makes it easier to notice, as I am familiar with Junko synths from her band projects, its her sound, her signature. Plus they are both credited in the OVA. This is the most "WTF?" fused with "What the Hell?" I have ever seen.
It's sad and stupid, and I do not understand these kind of issues.

Thanks for this share. I will give a listen just for Haneda sake.

Thanks.

Salat, just occurred to me. Might Kentaroh Haneda be the arranger for this album, and Macero produces it?

Consider this:

The movie exists in two versions - the original 156 minute Japanese version and the slice and dice-chopped to bits-this thing doesn't make sense 103 minute American version.

According to the Japanese Movie Database �����̓� (http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/1980/dd001950.htm) (translated with Google Translate) music is by Kentaro Haneda, music director is Suzuki Kiyoshi, and theme song by Janis Ian.

Since the album is called a symphonic suite, I suggest Haneda wrote the score and Maceo compiled (rather than composed) the suite. Track 1 (Prelude - Opening) is identical to the opening music of the original movie and not the US version.

stupid japanese with no proper true information. Everyone knows they are bad in english.... but the guy who wrote on the covers was that bad that confused composed with compiled? >_<

The Japanese scores often use the "Symphonic Suite" label, even though it's just the film cues. That's why I crossed it in the opening post: Compiling isn't enough. The score would need to be re-worked into movements like classical works.

Macero produced the Miles Davis album Kind of Blue, so maybe because of his fame, his name is on the cover. ?

His name is there to help sale the cd.
Akira Symphonic Suite is the soundtrack indeed of the movie, and with missing tracks. 2 cues from the movie were never released. And it's one of my favorite soundtracks.

His name is there to help sale the cd.

When I try to download the soundtrack, it says that it's no longer available. Herr Salat, do you think you could find a way to re-download it or update it? Thanks. :D By the way, 'Virus' is just about my favorite movie.
