On February 15, Cinema-kan announced their latest CD releases. Both are killer scores from films featuring a world of assassins!
The first of the two is The Hitman/The Hitman's Key Original Soundtracks (CINK-49). This release will feature the scores to Daiei's "The Hitman" and "The Hitman's Key" (1967), composed by Hajime Kaburagi. The films follow a former soldier (Raizo Ichikawa) who doubles as a restaurant worker and a contract killer for the yakuza. Only a handful of cues from the first film have been released. Now, both scores are getting their definitive releases on one disc.
The second release is Age of Assassins Original Soundtrack (CINK-50). It will feature the score to Toho's "Age of Assassins" (1967), composed by Masaru Sato. The film is about the events of a college instructor (Tatsuya Nakadai), who finds himself at the hands of an assassin. Only a handful of cues from this film have been released in the past. This will be the premier release of the complete score.
These albums will be released on April 11, 2018 and are available to pre-order at Amazon Japan. Retail information can be found below.
UPDATE 04/10/18: Both albums are now available! Also, I have added additional album information and track lists (in Japanese and English) for both albums.
