-Title: The Rainbow Goblins -Artist: Masayoshi Takanaka Masayoshi Takanaka's "The Rainbow Goblins" is a concept album based on the picture book "The Rainbow Goblins" by Italian painter Ul de Rico. The 12 songs unfold along the story of "goblins who eat rainbows," and as the tagline "raindrops of the rainbow became sound" suggests, it is a fantastical and grand work where narration and music are integrated. The album depicts the story of goblins who steal colors from nature and transform cities, and the tale of regaining the lost colors. It is a masterpiece that can be considered a pioneer of media mix, as the worldview can be more deeply enjoyed by listening while looking at the picture book. Album Overview Concept: To express the world of the Italian painter Ul de Rico's picture book "THE RAINBOW GOBLINS" (Japanese title "Niji Densetsu") through music. Story: Seven goblins who eat rainbows steal colors from the natural world, causing the world to lose its colors. Eventually, the story is about restoring peace to the natural world. Structure: Songs corresponding to each page of the picture book (12 pages in total) are arranged, and the story progresses with narration (by Roy Garner) between the songs. Features: Instrumental music and narration are fused, allowing listeners to re-experience the story while listening to the music. Representative Songs: Many masterpieces were born, such as "THE SUNSET VALLEY."
