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? 🙂

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.
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.

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