Description

This is a preorder. Estimated shipping date: Q4 2026(October)

The Rainbow Goblins Story captures Masayoshi Takanaka at his most imaginative and theatrical - soaring guitar lines, vibrant fusion grooves and a live concept brought fully to life on stage. Recorded at Nippon Budokan in March 1981, just as The Rainbow Goblins was released, the performance unfolds in two parts: a full-stage recreation of the album inspired by Ul de Rico, followed by a set of Takanaka’s signature tracks, all delivered with that same colorful, high-energy spirit.

With a massive neon rainbow arch, synchronized lighting, early laser effects and musicians in vivid costumes, the show builds a surreal, almost cinematic world around the music. Now presented as a complete audio release for the first time, this 3LP edition on clear lime yellow, red and blue vinyl mirrors the visual spectacle, paired with a photo-rich booklet and mastering by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios, making it a standout piece for fans of Japanese fusion and ambitious live recordings alike.
