Notes:
* The theme of the single is ‘PASSPO meets LA METAL’.
* The motif is ‘cabin attendants’; combined with LA metal this single will be ‘CA metal’ (cabin metal).
* An influential musician that everybody knows from a famous LA metal band will be recording for the single.
* 3 Swedish musicians worked on the song as composers(?). Peter Mansson, Anders Wikström and Jan Peter Borger (not sure if the link is him). Mats Leven might have been involved too.
* PASSPO has a new song out called ‘POCK☆STAR’, maybe that could be the b-side?
* PASSPO flew out of Japan to USA on April 23 (Japan time) to film their PV in LA.
Brendan Buckley is currently known for being the drummer in popstar Shakira’s band.
Grecco is a guitarist who has played for Shakira.
