K28G-7388: KUJAKUŌ Ikusenoku no Kira

[RomanticScent]

The romanized names are from already known band members of various heavy rock and metal bands of the time, who got together for this release.
Some already have profiles in here, but they are linked to other bands (LAZY for example). So I only added the info here of the bands where they are referenced in the album.

Vocals:
Masayuki Tanaka (田中昌之) / from "Crystal King"
Kyan Marie (喜屋武マリー) / from "MARIE with MEDUSA"

Guitars: Hisato Takenaka / from "Char"
Tsuyoshi Ujiki / from "KODOMO BAND"
Hiroaki Matsuzawa (松沢浩明) / MAKE-UP (it is teh same has "松澤 浩明" but he is credited with that kanji, and it says he is the guitar from MAKE-UP)
Terutsugu Hirayama (平山照継) / from "TERU'S SYMPHONIA"

Drums:
Munetaka Higuchi / from "LOUDNESS"

Percussions: Takuro Konno (今野多久郎) / From "KUWATA BAND"

浜田麻里 = Mari Hamada

Wikipedia should be enough to source romanization as she's so famous.

The song on this album, "LAST SCENE" is from her 4th album "RAINBOW DREAM" (1985). I've check the booklet; indeed it is written 松沢浩明 for Hiroaki Matsuzawa as well...

One question, RomanticScent, is Risa Yuuki romanized like that in this album?

[RomanticScent]

No. That is how her name is in here.

There was some forgotten about the music (composition) in some tracks.

Track 5 is also composed by Munetaka Higuchi.
Track 7 is also composed by Takuro Konno.
Track 9 is also composed by Hisato Takenaka.

I don't have scanner, i could put some photos with my phone, but i found a picture on the web:

http://media.vgm.io/albums/26/52562/...1479947825.jpg

This is the top part of the insert about the credits (it is identical in format CD and vinyl).

For the other artists (vocalists and musicians), I kept the same order of presentation than in my folder in the notes.
I added too infos about producer, supervisor, special thanks, etc...

About the release, I don't see really why the vinyl would be released 10 days after the CD, and more during the year 1988, so I changed the release date. It should be 5th October 1988 for the 3 prints (vinyl/tape/CD), it's a matter of logic.

[Phonograph]

nobody noticed the album subtitle is wrong?
it's not 幾千年の煌 but 幾千億の煌(きら) and romaji for it is Ikusen'oku no Kira (' isn't mandatory on display title tho)

[depa]

Have been confirmed track 5 of CD version is longer than vinyl and cassette?
in this case we should dechild the cd version

[Phonograph]

it's not a matter of confirmation, the vinyl scan with tracklist clearly states that the cd version of this album has a longer version
so, the cd ver is different from vinyl and cassette (since only cd is mentioned, not cassette)

(I said that to illidan yesterday)

[depa]

I lost something? It says 5:25 on the vinyl label

[Phonograph]

the problem is that CDのみ「ロング・ヴァージョン」 can't be a typo
there are 2 possibilities:
either originally it was planned to have two different versions and finally the long version is on all format but without correcting the booklet info
or the lp version has really the shortest one and the time on the vinyl is wrong

it could be checked only if some own the vinyl and/or the cd

[depa]

or probably they forgot to correct the time on the label

[anisonfan]

About the duration of the LP version I've got it from the ".wav" rip.

The label reports "CD only (Long Version)" because can be an invitation to buy the CD also

About the title I don't have noticed where "image album" is written

The more natural title is "孔雀王 幾千億の煌(きら)／中島優貴". It is written everwhere

[Illidan]

One thing for sure: you shouldn't put the Japanese title as display in any case. We also generally don't include the composer name in the album title, although we do with vocalists.

I own the original CD. The duration of the tracks is not written anywhere, nor in the folder or on the disc. According to the players on computer, it is displayed 5'26 or 5'27 for the track 5 (and it can vary from one second for the duration of other tracks too).

[depa]

so they forgot to correct the track lenght on vinyl label, if anisonfan confirms he has a genuine vinyl rip the case is closed.
Would be interesting know if the additional 1:20 of this instrumental track have new parts or they simple cut some repeated parts.

[anisonfan]

I can share the track extracted from vinyl rip if you want to compare with the cd rip.
The length (vinyl) is 4:02...just re-verified
