ZxR Ai Senshi update

Richie Kotzen, former guitarist for Poison and Mr. Big, has produced a Gundam Cover Album with several other artists, including bassist Billy Sheehan. Originally Cyndi Lauper was officially reported to be collaborating on the title song, "Ai Senshi" (Soldier of Sorrow), however she is no longer attached to the project.

A live tour of Japan will be launched in March to support the project. Kotzen's work with Mr. Big and Poison, as well as his solo material, is especially popular in Japan. With Mr. Big, Kotzen provided theme music for the Hellsing TV series.

Songs on the album will include:

Kimi Ga Matteiru Kara (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation - Heirs to the Stars- )
Metamorphoze (Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation - Heirs to the Stars- )
