    Is it just me or Shiorin's design looks like Mako from Kill la Kill?


    There's also Reni who resembles Satsuki despite the smile :D

    Ever since watching the series I thought Akarin looks like Lady Satsuki, those glorious eyebrows are too much alike :))

    All this videos really hyped me for the release. At first I didn't know what to expect but now I know I'll like it.

    Gene is such an unlikable seeming man. Somehow I don't think this was an artistic decision for them.



    We idol people should be careful about pointing fingers at commercialism...

    I know nothing about KISS, but Gene sounds like he has been learning Japanese, and the marketing guy was excited (duh). Everybody except their manager seemed nice.

    Also Reni took to him, so that's fine by me ^^

    gene himself said KISS = KABUKI it's clear which one is bad .... , Great Intro , deffinetly would like to hear the new song but the only thing i don't like is THERE IS KISS THERE :( ..... shouldn't have collab live or in PV, better if they send the music from LA than the girls record their part in japan and not the girls comming to LA (just like mouretsu emperor the girls never met with ingwy but still they make great music collab)

    I agree. Let's be honest. This collaboration was probably never really about making an artistic statement. It was about selling merchandise and increasing brand awareness on both sides. Despite the obvious marketing intentions, there seems to be a mutual respect for each other's styles and cultures as well as a genuine desire from both sets of acts to create great music. You can't ask for much more than that. I like what I've heard so far and I think it will be better than people think. If this was Metallica or Black Sabbath collaborating with the group, I'd say no way but this is the most commercialized group in Rock History. As I've said in the past, this group has a lot of potential and they have a lot of desire to be bigger than Japanese idols, this KISS collaboration could be the catalyst.

    I wouldn't be too worried about labeling KISS as a commercialized band......they practically invented the idea, lol.

    And they're very self-aware of it too, which is one of the reasons they are disliked

    Speaking of which, these videos further reinforced my impressions of them...

    Gene is the savvy business guy with great work ethic, but is first and foremost an a-hole (and I think he relishes in this fact too)
    Eric and Tommy are both chill dudes that I'd want to have a drink with.
    I was lukewarm towards Paul at first, but he definitely knows his stuff, and I appreciate the fact that he actually went through the trouble of doing his research on Momoclo's music, lyrics, and imagery before writing anything. This is something I value in musicians a lot, so he's good in my book.

    It does sound short, but I thinks it's because Paul from Kiss is the one who composed the song. American music tends to be much shorter than what Momoclo usually does. I wish it were longer :(

    I don't think it's full. I think there's probably another minute or so of the song. Since it's secondary title is 2 Chorus ver., it only plays through to the 2nd chorus of the song.

    I believe they play the full song on this video. The song is about 5 minutes and 40 second long. Also don't mind them talking while they play it.

    Skip to 33:00

    The only good I can see out of this is more potential English/American exposure for Momoclo.

    What I'm really worried about is I know KISS is going to do some kind of appearance in one of Momoclo's concerts. Just as Marty Friedman did in 2012 for the first all-out live performance of Mugen no Ai.

    Actually, it's the girls appearing at the KISS concert at Tokyo Dome March 3rd. I don't think KISS will appear at a MomoClo Live unless management actually discussed the possibilities

    Yeah, I don't think KISS would fly to Japan just to do 1-2 Momoclo concerts where they're only a guest. Since they are already scheduled to do their own Tokyo Dome concert, it makes sense for them financially to have Momoclo as a guest at theirs. Marty Friedman lives in Japan and he's a fan of Momoclo, so it's easier logistically to arrange for him to be a guest.

    I feel like the song needs a climax. At the end it feels like they are building up to something but then nothing.

    The song is nice but I guess that's the downside of hype, I expected it to blow my mind. Waiting for the single to come out to be able to hear a top quality version and appreciate it more.

    I guess it should't be long until they release the PV.
