A masterpiece that shines brilliantly in the history of Japanese progressive rock, expressing a grand story that transcends time and space through music. Other concept albums based on science fiction novels produced by Sense of Wonder around the same time include the 1984 release “Green Requiem” (based on the novel by Motoko Arai) and \"The Whale Who Sang in the Galactic Network\" (original work by Mariko Ohara), released in 1985. While both have been reissued on paper-sleeve CDs, a paper-sleeve release of this work—which most strongly embodies the progressive rock spirit—had long been eagerly anticipated.\n\nFor Sense of Wonder, whose career spanned mostly as a keyboard trio, this is the only work from their twin-keyboard, four-member era featuring Rei Atsumi (then known as Rei Atsumi), who later led progressive bands such as Moon Dancer and Tachyon and went on to become a member of VOWWOW.\n\nThe record jacket, insert (GENMA visual sheet), and enclosed poster—all created by Noriyoshi Ikura, an internationally acclaimed illustrator known for his work on the \"Star Wars\" movie posters—have been faithfully reproduced.\n\n2026 Remaster.
