Will Chu Ishikawa be doing the music for this?


I would assume so, as he's done the music for almost all of Tsukamoto's films, and is most famous for his work on the original Tetsuo(s), but I thought I'd ask if anyone can confirm this anyway. If so, I can't wait to hear what he'll come up with! I'm a huge fan of his scores.

It looks like Ishikawa is doing it, according to the Variety.com review. I think I also read that Ishikawa just released a CD of his soundtracks for the first two Tetsuo films in preparation for Bulletman's release.

Sweet! Thanks so much for the news. Is the Variety review linked here on imbd? Whatever, I'll find it. Interesting to hear that Ishikawa is releasing the soundtracks to the first two again...it's already been released 3 times that I know of. It's the only score of his that's been successful outside of Japan, as far as I can tell, so maybe it's smart to capitalize on another opportunity to get it out there. For anyone interested, I got most of my copies of his various releases via the Japanese Amazon site, but a few are really, really hard to find now. Well worth the effort, though!

EDIT: Just saw that he's now credited on the main page for this here, so this thread is pointless. Thanks again for tipping me off. =)

Actually, according to a recent Pitchfork article, Trent Reznor is doing the music to the new Tetsuo film. You can hear one of the tracks online, as well as read a brief bit about the movie.

The music's already done, since the film has been done for a while. Trent's song is replacing the end credit song that was already there.
