Japanese all-female vocal group Paradi-Soul recently released the above video of them performing an interesting a cappella version of Kiss’ 1979 song “I Was Made For Lovin’ You.”
Perhaps the ladies caught the “Kiss craze” after the fairly recent Japan appearance and concerts Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley did as Kiss, along with the two guys they hired to fill the true roles of Peter Criss and Ace Frehley.
The ladies and the characters they’re made up as are (left to right): Akko (Spaceman Ace Frehley), Yu-ko (Starchild Paul Stanley), Kaila (Catman Peter Criss), and Asuka (Demon Gene Simmons). See and hear more of them at their official website, Youtube channel, and if you read Japanese (or even if you don’t) they’re on Twitter.
