Right, Rainbow and My Story were high-res *CDs* (a CD with 5.1 audio), which very few players can actually play back. That's a "standard" that never caught on.

I was primarily talking about 5.1 DVD and Blu-ray discs; Ayu has a significant number of concert releases in 5.1 - but no more. That's what I was pointing out.
