An "image album" is an LP created specifically for Japanese animations, to give a sense of characters' personalities. In Japan, sound is as important as visuals. Characters in every film and animation, even inanimate objects or feelings, have their own songs created for them. Protagonists have entire albums created for them. These audio impressions are equally as important as visual and tangible physical elements. What results is a multi-sensory experience. The "image" album soundtrack is when the composer is presented with early graphics/imagery to the film and creates a unique soundscape based on the images that will turn into the film. The songs are based on the image/atmosphere of the original comics. They are created before OST or film itself.
Vocal: U-MI, Sizzle Ohtaka, Tsunehiko Kamijo, Mosieur Kamayatsu, RIKKI
