The All You Need Is Kill Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featuring music by composer Yasuhiro Maeda is now available on streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music.
“I didn’t write this soundtrack to tell a story, but to create sounds that enhance the visual experience,” Yasuhiro Maeda said in a press release. “Listening to the music on its own, I feel the album ended up having a much broader range than I originally expected.”

When the alien Mimics invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor called a Jacket and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to be reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On his 158th iteration, he gets a message from a mysterious ally—the female soldier known as the Full Metal Bitch. Is she the key to Keiji’s escape or his final death?
