Three songs from the 1971 Godzila Vs. The Smog Monster. This was an early enviro-thriller (the tagline was "Our environment is doomed!") with the big guy in the rubber suit saving Tokyo. By Godzilla standards, it's a pretty weird film. (Disclamer: This is based on a late-night TV viewing around 25 years ago. As there may have been substances involved, pretty much anything would have seemed weird.)
Oh, the music. Spooky organs, marching bands, faux rock and roll. The three cuts offered are pretty swingin'. We can't tell you anything about the song titles or the performers, as they are written in Kanji. Anyway, enjoy.

After consulting with the world's leading authority on Godzilla, the translations of these tracks are:
They are bonus tracks not heard in the film.
"Give Back the Sun" (or, "Return, The Sun!") was written by Banno Yoshimitsu (lyrics) and Manabe Riichiro (music), with vocals by Fujiyama Miki (a/k/a Mari Keiko). Its translated lyrics go something like this:
Islands... fish... where've you gone?
Dragonflies... butterflies... where've you gone?
Mercury cobalt cadmium
Lead sulfuric-acid oxidants
Cyanogen manganese vanadium
Chromium potassium strontium
Filthy polluted sea, filthy polluted air
Living things will no longer exist
Fields... mountains...
Become silent
On The Earth there is nobody
Nobody around who can cry
Return! Return! Return! Return!
Green... blue skies... return!
Return! Return! Return!
Blue seas... return! Return!
Return! Return! Return! Return!
Life... The Sun... Return!
Return! Return! Return! Return! Return!
