Yes, and the theme music comes off Yoshimitsu Banno's _Birth of the Japanese
Islands_.  Banno is under contract to direct three films for Toho before he
can be a freelance director, but he prefers writing and assistant directing,
so he's done a lot of animation scripts, including the 1982 _The Wizard of
Oz_, and they never required him to, just made it a stipulation for going
elsewhere.
