The Rainbow Goblins (album)

The Rainbow Goblins (虹伝説, Niji Densetsu; lit. "Legend of the Rainbow") is the ninth studio album by Japanese musician, producer, and composer Masayoshi Takanaka, released by Kitty Records on 10 March 1981. Inspired by the picture book of the same name by Italian artist Ul de Rico, Takanaka set out to create a fully realized concept album. Influenced by progressive rock bands like King Crimson and Pink Floyd, he blended his signature guitar work with layered arrangements and vivid soundscapes to match the book's visual and narrative depth.
