This is the original soundtrack to the 1983 anime adaptation of Toho’s “Rainbowman” show from the 70s. Apparently Toho wasn’t involved in the anime’s production in any way whatsoever—I don’t know if that may be one of the reasons why the anime has never seen a home release of some sort, but who knows…

The music itself is interesting, if I may add. A lot of the BGM tracks are rather simplistic in the sense that not many instruments are used, but despite that, they’re still really good! I like the very first BGM cue simply because it gives off an eerie vibe—I can see it being used in a scene to represent a town or city of some sort that probably used to be very populated at some point, but now it’s just empty and vacant…several BGM cues also have a singer in them—dunno if it could be considered scat singing but if you guys like that kind of stuff (especially the ones who are into Kazuko Kawashima’s works) then you’ll for sure like them. Seems like the composer also might’ve been a fan of the organ since a good amount of music in this album utilizes it. It’s not really a favorite instrument of mine but the way he used it in the music is actually well done.

Obviously some BGM is missing, but I’m more than satisfied with the amount we got in this album.

Enjoy!!
