The first half recreated the album in full. A huge rainbow neon arch lit up in time with the music, a state-of-the-art laser show played across a mountain of gear, and the seven-piece band wore costumes in their goblins' colors. Takanaka himself performed in a yellow jumpsuit with rainbow-dyed hair, playing a rainbow-metallic Yamaha SG. The second half switched to his hits, from \"Blue Lagoon\" to \"Kurofune.\" Long known only from video, the show has become a touchstone for the worldwide audience that has found Takanaka through the city pop and fusion revival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrologue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOnce Upon a Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeven Goblins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Sunset Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Moon Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThunderstorm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRising Arch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlumed Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYou Can Never Come to This Place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtched side, no music\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide E\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue Lagoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRainy Day Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide F\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEarly Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReady to Fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKurofune (黒船)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eMusicians\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMasayoshi Takanaka (guitar), Masahiro Miyazaki (drums), Akihiro Tanaka (bass), Izumi Kobayashi (keyboards), Kiyosumi Ishikawa (keyboards), Makoto Kimura (percussion), Koji Satsuma (sax) and Yuki Sugawara (percussion).\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eRelease details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMasayoshi Takanaka (高中正義)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRainbow Goblins Story Live at Budokan 1981 ~Niji Densetsu~ Special Edition (虹伝説)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal Music Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalog No.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPJY-9567\/9\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4988031870235\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 × 12\" LP (clear lime yellow, clear red, clear blue), etched side D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhoto booklet with liner notes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMastering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlex Wharton, Abbey Road Studios\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNippon Budokan, Tokyo, March 10–11, 1981\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJapan (import)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeptember 30, 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz-Fusion, City Pop, Live\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n                       \u003cp\u003eThe studio version of \"EARLY BIRD\": \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stokyoworld.com\/products\/masayoshi-takanaka-t-wave-clear-orange-vinyl-upjy-9522\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eT-WAVE\u003c\/em\u003e (180g clear orange vinyl)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from STOKYO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTOKYO is run by DJs and vinyl heads, and we've been importing Japanese records and analog gear since 2004.
