RAINBOW GOBLINS STORY LIVE at Budokan 1981 NIJIDENSETSU

MASAYOSHI TAKANAKA

Japan Import Tri-Coloured Vinyl edition

Masayoshi Takanaka’s legendary RAINBOW GOBLINS STORY concert—performed at Nippon Budokan on March 10–11, 1981—is finally available as a standalone audio release. The first half featured a full live performance of the concept album Nijidennsetsu THE RAINBOW GOBLINS, inspired by Ul de Rico’s picture book, followed by a set of Takanaka’s hit songs.The show was known for its spectacular staging: a massive rainbow‑colored neon sign, cutting‑edge laser effects, and seven musicians dressed in goblin‑themed colors. Takanaka appeared in a yellow jumpsuit with rainbow‑dyed hair, playing his iconic rainbow‑metallic Yamaha SG.

To celebrate the concert’s 45th anniversary, the performance has been revived with high‑quality sound. The vinyl edition includes three clear‑colored LPs—lime yellow, red, and blue—evoking the rainbow guitar. A photo-filled booklet and mastering by Alex Wharton (Abbey Road Studios) complete the release, with liner notes by Masayoshi Kondo and Yoshinobu Maruyama.
