"Yume no Ukiyo ni Saite Mi na" (夢の浮世に咲いてみな, Try to Bloom in a Dream about the Floating World) is a single by the Japanese idol group Momoiro Clover Z and American rock band Kiss, credited to "Momoiro Clover Z vs. Kiss". It was released physically in Japan on January 28, 2015.[1]

Background

Part of the title is Ukiyo-e which refers to the "Floating World"–style of Japanese classical art.

Before the collaboration, the members of Kiss watched the concert videos of Momoiro Clover Z. Later, Paul Stanley gave his impressions in an interview:

Spectacular show! Great choreography! Music like we never heard before. We said, "this is something we can do!" Somebody said, "Kiss, why are you doing it?" "Because we can!" It's two worlds getting together, doing something unbelievable. Music power rocks the world.[2]

The guitar solo on the single's B-side, a cover of "Rock and Roll All Nite", was performed by Shinji Wajima of Ningen Isu.[3]

A commercial success, it peaked at number one on Japan's Oricon daily singles chart, and at number two on its weekly singles chart.

Music video

The music video features live action and animated footage of both bands. Momoiro Clover Z are dressed as female ninjas who travel in a floating world. There, they encounter Kiss, who empower them with black samurai armor. The video ends with Kanako Momota and Paul Stanley shaking hands.
