Description:

A milestone in the history of animation and Japanese cinema! The soundtrack of "Lupin III: Cagliostro's Castle" (original story: Monkey Punch, music: Yuji Ohno), released in 1979, is now available as a SACD/CD hybrid! The music of this masterpiece animation film, one of the most popular works in the series and a worldwide favorite, has been revived in high quality sound! (Original: 1983 /Nippon Columbia /CX-7090-AX) (Stereo Sound Planning Co., Ltd., with the full cooperation of Nippon Columbia, Inc.) The music was taken back to the original analog master tapes and mastered at Nippon Columbia's Minami-Azabu Studio! The SACD layer and CD layer were mastered separately, each breaking new ground in their own unique way for a new sound experience! Audiophiles will be able to fully demonstrate the power of their favorite systems! The subtitle "for Audiophile" is true to its potential value and possibilities! (The CD layer can be played on a CD player.) The elite You & Explosion Band, led by Yuji Ohno, delivers an ultimately beautiful, delicate, sharp and dynamic jazz-funk sound. The album also includes the theme song "Flame Takaramono" (sung by Bobby), a famous ballad composed and arranged by Yuji Ohno. The peak of the "Yuji Ohno Sound" is here. Bonus tracks include "Lupin the Third Theme" ("Lupin the Third Theme '78" single version), which features the band sound before the lines were mixed, "Hold Me, Lupin I MISS YOU BABE(,YES,I DO)" (sung by Sandy A. Horn), "Lovin' You (Lovin' You)" (sung by Bobby), "Lovin' You (Lovin' You)" (sung by Bobby), and "Lovin' You (Lovin' You)" (sung by Sandy A. Horn).
