Rainbow is a collaborative album between Japanese experimental doom band Boris and psychedelic guitarist Michio Kurihara. This album in particular is somewhat quiet and upbeat in sound, almost lounge-like in some parts. Wata contributes vocals to the title song, which has a music video made for it by Foodunited. Oddly, a couple of songs have another vocalist backing Takeshi. Either it could be Takeshi doing overdubs or Atsuo or Michio performing backing vocals. This could be possible, despite what the liner notes state, as Boris have mislabeled personnel before (Most notably on Vein.).

The album's initial release was done by Pedal Records, with liner notes in Portuguese. There will be a limited 2LP release (Presumably with extended or extra tracks, based upon the length of the album), and an unlimited LP release on Inoxia Records in 2007. The label Drag City is also releasing this album in the United States on May 15th, 2007 with a different 9th track and possibly on LP.
