ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Akira Ifukube

Akira Ifukube was a really smart man who loved music. He lived in Japan a long time ago and was famous for creating music for movies. This means he made sounds that you hear when you watch a movie. Sometimes the music he made was scary, like when a monster appeared in a movie. Other times, it was happy when something good happened.

Ifukube was interested in science too! He studied creatures that lived a long long time ago, like dinosaurs. He liked them so much that he even made music about them.

People all over the world loved Ifukube's music so much that they wanted to hear it all the time. Even though he is not here anymore, his music is still listened to by many people who love movies and science, just like Ifukube did.
