A strange feeling as if you've heard it somewhere before, gorgeous strings, playful vocals, beautiful melodies, cute and avant-garde beats, soft rock, jazz, bossa nova, harmonies, rare groove... A masterpiece of children's entertainment that brings together the best of Uno's magic, a mix of poison and allure. The program was broadcast on the CX network in 1971 as "Calpis Manga Theater" and remains a popular work as a fantastic comedy featuring Chianti and Zucco. All the music was written by Seiichiro Uno, and the songs, including the theme, "Chianti's Song," and "Zucco's Song," are all masterpieces overflowing with the experimental and emotional qualities unique to anime. This time, single tracks not included in the original album and four bonus tracks from the theatrical version have been added, and it has finally been released as a complete 2-disc CD set! Supervision and commentary by Takashi Hamada Amazon review This is the complete soundtrack album for the TV anime "Andersen's Fairy Tales," composed by Seiichiro Uno, known for his music for children's programs in the 1960s, including "Hyokkori Hyotan Island." Produced by Mushi Production and broadcast for one year in 1971, this work was an unusual series that used Andersen's fairy tales as its basis and employed a method of changing the direction of each episode. The music by Seiichiro Uno inserted throughout the main story was also created in a variety of styles to match this. While all the songs are enjoyable and beautiful, the way Seiichiro Uno employs diverse techniques to evoke a sense of dark humor or a slightly sexy image is truly characteristic of his work. In particular, the groove of tracks like <14> "Chris and Ellen" and <19> "The Song for When Gangsters Rob a Robbery" on Disc 1 is noteworthy. (Shogo Yasukawa)
