Japanese label called Pony Cannon released a Rainbow tribute album on September 18th, 1998. Two ex-Rainbow members appear as guests on the album, namely Joe Lynn Turner (vocals) on two tracks and David Rosenthal (keyboards, synthesizer programming) also on two tracks. The CD was produced by Akira Kajiyama and Yukio Morikawa.

This album is dedicated to the memory of Cozy Powell (RIP).

This Japanese Rainbow-tribute band recorded this, their self-titled debut CD, on Pony Canyon Records. The name of the band, Niji-Densetsu, actually means "Legends of Rainbow." David played on 2 songs, "Spotlight Kid" and "Gates of Babylon." "Gates of Babylon" features a new, extended keyboard introduction called "Road to Babylon" which was written by David. The album also features performances by ex-Rainbow vocalist Joe Lynn Turner.
