Poison's old guitarist Richie Kotzen, along with a group called ZxR, is set to release an album of covers of famous Gundam songs. Presumably the songs have been reworked a bit and the album will include such hot artists as Cyndi Lauper. The album, entitled Ai Senshi, will be on store shelves March 22nd and the live tour (that's right) will also begin this March.

You'll have to forgive my sarcasm about this whole thing, but I stand fiem in my assertation that there is no meter for social taboos in Japan. As if the anime inspired musicals weren't proof of this… Of course, you have to appreciate that the guy has expanded out to other places and themes. Also, who doesn't just lie awake at night wishing for a Cyndi Lauper comeback… I mean… come on! That's all they really want. Some fun. When the working day is done… girls… they wanna have fun. Oh, girls just wanna have fun.
