KISS And Japanese Pop Group MOMORIO CLOVER Z: Press Conference Video Footage

KISS has collaborated with the Japanese pop group MOMORIO CLOVER Z on a new single, which was released on January 28. The track “Yume No Ukiyo Ni Saitemina” was composed by KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley and Greg Collins, with lyrics written by Yuho Iwasato. MOMOIRO CLOVER Z performs the song, with KISS providing background vocals and instruments. It was released in two versions — “Momoclo Edition” and “KISS Edition” — via iTunes in 120 countries. A music video for the track, featuring both bands, was shot in Las Vegas.

An eight-minute video containing footage of the KISS–MOMORIO CLOVER Z joint press conference in Japan promoting the new single and the two bands’ upcoming show in Tokyo can be seen below.

Both the “Momoclo Edition” and “KISS Edition” of “Yume No Ukiyo Ni Saitemina” feature the title track and one same coupling song, but the “KISS Edition” will include the track titled “Samurai Son”, which was made using “Yume No Ukiyo Ni Saitemina” as its base. It is sung by KISS while MOMORIO CLOVER Z members participate on vocals. The “Momoclo Edition” comes with a Blu-ray disc which contains the music video for the title track instead.

“Samurai Son” will also be made available on KISS‘s upcoming Japanese compilation “Best Of KISS 40”, alongside 19 tracks spanning the band’s four-decade career and a DVD featuring three exclusive live performances.

MOMORIO CLOVER Z will open for KISS on March 3 at the Tokyo Dome.
