In a wildly bizarre collaboration, rock icons KISS have joined forces with the Japanese pop group Momoiro Clover Z on a new single, to be released on January 28. The cover art alone is an experience to behold.
The track “Yume No Ukiyo Ni Saitemina” was written by KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley and Greg Collins, with lyrics written by Yuho Iwasato. Two versions of the song will be released, in which KISS provides background vocals and instrumentation as Momoiro Clover Z sings the song.
A music video for the track, featuring both bands, will follow. The KISS edition of “Yume No Ukiyo Ni Saitemina” will feature the title track as well as a song called ”Samurai Son,” in which KISS sings lead vocals over a variation of the “Yume” track. “Samurai Son” will also be made available on the upcoming Japanese compilation Best Of KISS 40, a retrospective on the band’s four-decade career and a DVD featuring three exclusive live performances.
