Unique Reading Experience with Music: 音楽絵本幸福の王子 ポケット Review
音楽絵本幸福の王子 ポケット is an educational and reference app designed for iPhone users. Developed by takeshi sainen, this app provides a distinctive reading experience by combining music and exquisite illustrations. Based on Oscar Wilde's timeless masterpiece, the app presents 11 captivating songs and 30 nostalgic illustrations, immersing users in the world of the Happy Prince. By creating an ambiance with dimmed lights and using headphones or earphones, readers can enjoy a cinematic reading experience.
The narrative follows the Happy Prince, who once lived joyfully in the beautiful Paradise palace and passed away with contentment. Transformed into a statue overlooking the city, the prince becomes aware of the town's ugliness, sorrow, and poverty. This awareness sets the stage for the prince and a swallow to explore the true essence of beauty. The app's music, composed by ZABADAK, renowned for blending Celtic and Nordic influences into their guitar-driven tunes, along with illustrations by painter Tomomasa Tanimura, known for his evocative and exotic artwork, delivers a truly enchanting reading journey.
