The music for Gunbuster was created by the famous Kohei Tanaka. Vocal singers include Noriko Sakai, Noriko Hidaka (the voice of Noriko Takaya), and Rei Sakuma (the voice of Kazumi Amano).
The Sound Collection of Gunbuster is the best source for Gunbuster music. It has all the music used in the movies, promotional ads, etc. Gunbuster - Top o Narae! "Victor Manga Golden Special" has some good Gunbuster music, but is not as good as others.
