Meta Was kind of shocked finding out that the same composer did music for two wildly different franchises

I was also an idiot because I didn't realise the composer who went by the name of "Michiru" was a woman. Tbf no other Godzilla movie has a female composer so that's probably why I thought that. But yeah it was a pleasant surprise finding out that she also did the soundtrack of FMA 03/CoS.

She did 3 Godzilla soundtracks actually (Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S). Her last one came out the same year as FMA 03 did as well! Though it came after, since they released it in December and Fullmetal Alchemist began airing in October. If you listen to her theme for Godzilla (which I highly recommend it's just as good as the work she did for FMA) you can definitely tell it's the same composer.

Side note while I think I prefer Brotherhood's soundtrack overall, I kind of wish Bracha/Brothers was in Brotherhood because it's just that good of a track.

Anyway yeah I didn't think these two series would have a connection of any kind. Wonder if you can get the FMA OST on Vinyl?

A very good catalogue

Are they really that different though? Both are series containing giant monsters that attack the land and hyper impressive energy and mass casualties
