Notes:
Bullet Train (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2022 film of the same name, directed by David Leitch and featured an ensemble cast starring Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Bad Bunny, and Sandra Bullock. The album was released by Arista Records on August 3, 2022, featuring a collection of incorporated songs, mostly using Japanese music for the film to suit the film's setting in Japan. Dominic Lewis composed the film score, who worked for nearly a year during the COVID-19 pandemic. He used multiple instruments and also performed solo vocals, for few of the score cues. The score consisted of Japanese music, incorporated with rock, pop, metal and EDM. The score was released under a separate album Bullet Train (Original Motion Picture Score) by Milan Records on August 5. The music received praise from critics, as an "integral part of the film's storyline".

Even before the release of the soundtrack, it was highly anticipated by fans, with The A.V. Club calling it as a "kick-ass" soundtrack. Critical reviews praised the music and its integration into the screenplay, and editing. Cezary Jan Strusiewicz of Tokyo Weekender, reports that unlike most of Leitch's filmography, "music plays a big part in the film, with a lot of the players and the action moving to the beat of the soundtrack," and compares it to the 2021 Western film The Harder They Fall with "everything occasionally feeling like a big-budget music video." The Quad wrote that the soundtrack "gives depth to the fantastic fight scenes". Critic Jake Fritzelgard had said "A massive strong point of Bullet Train is in its music, a unique score coupled with a soundtrack that has everything from a Japanese cover of Bonnie Tyler to an end credits track that sounds like Greta Van Fleet taking on Industrial metal."
Filmtracks.com praised Lewis' score, saying "Don't expect these melodies to carry any semblance of a satisfying narrative in Bullet Train, for the structures here are of minimal importance compared to the style of performance and the distortion of the final mix. Anyone seeking a sane listening experience should be careful with this unruly romp. Ideally, the album presentation would place the songs and score in chronological order to recreate the film's extremely unique use of music. Lewis clearly had a ton of fun with this movie, and the score demands an equally irreverent mood to appreciate out of context."[14] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood called the score as "sharp", while Hagan Osborne of The Curb had stated "The film finds buzzing energy in Dominic Lewis’ score, with the notable stand-out piece occurring in one tense reveal feeling straight out of a Mario Kart course.
