* 99th anniversary of the birth of Watanabe Spaceaki

This CD commemorates the 99th anniversary of the birth of Hiroaki Watanabe with an audio drama-style composition that intersects various time-spaces.
The CD contains songs that have remained unreleased, songs that have been composed but not filmed, and other works that have been left behind for a variety of reasons!
And the 99th birthday live concert, which was never held in real life, has been realized as a CD!
The jacket, newly drawn by Daiki Kaneko, who is now a popular nostalgic illustrator, is also noteworthy!

* Daisuke Ban sings and shouts Kikaider & Inazuman!

Daisuke Ban, starring actor of Kikaider and Inazuman, sings not only Kikaider, but also Inazuman and Inazuman F, which have been on air for 50 years!
An original script reminiscent of those days, written by Takeyuki Tanokura, will color the songs.

* Jiro Takano's exquisite singing, inherited from Masato Shimon's singing method.

Six previously unreleased songs by Jiro Takano's exquisite singing are included on the CD.
The theme song “Irodou no Gundan” and the insert song “99 Giant Lines” from the unfinished and unproduced omnibus tokusatsu “Irodou no Gundan”.
The theme song for “The Bodyguard,” and “Burning Action!” which was written for the ending but was never used. The Ballad of Otoko no Ballad”.
Payapaya Den Ace 9,” which was written at the request of his assistant, Takeyuki Tanokura, before his death.
New Atom Boy,” which is a present-day renewal of ‘Atom Boy,’ for which both the score and recordings have been scattered.
In addition, we recorded other familiar pieces using karaoke and melo-oke from the Three Shells CD.
Using Melo Oke and other music from the 90th birthday concert, a virtual live performance of Jiro Takano singing Denziman, Spider-Man, Kikaider 01, Prince of Monsters, etc., which were never held in real life, were realized on CD in the 99th year of his birth.
