Additional Notes:

The film is also known as "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II".

The retail price listed is the original price when the album was in-print, though adjusted for the recently implemented 10% consumption tax. I actually managed to purchase this album for more or less its original retail price, not adjusting for inflation.

I'm not sure if the score numbers on disc 1 are supposed to be the same as the material numbers on disc 2. If so, then there are some discrepancies between the two. I plan on looking into this matter, and I will update this post accordingly if I find anything. Also, I was planning on including the DB (Dubbing) numbers for disc two, but I didn't want to the cue numbers to be overcrowded. They are provided on the disc 2 track list pages, which I included in the Photo Gallery portion of this post.

My copy of the album was still sealed at the time of purchase. The only blemish is some fading throughout the spine portion of the obi.

The score was written on August 24 - 27, 1993 (not including the pre-scoring version of "Music of an Ancient Plant") and recorded on August 28 and 29, 1993. It was edited and mixed between November 5 and 10, 1993.
