Episode 622. The Magic is Back! Alain Bellicha Releases ANOTHER Book… KISS at BUDOKAN!

50 years ago, KISS debuted in Japan with the release of Dressed to Kill on Victor Music. KISS’s success spread like wildfire. In March 1977, their first tour shook Japan to its core. KISS played four shows at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan in 1977, five a year later, and came back in 1988, ten years later, for two more Budokan shows, and again in 1995. That was 30 years ago this year.

KISS at Budokan is a one-of-a kind photo album: 160 pages, featuring KISS photos from the mighty Shinko Music archives as well as other Japanese photo archives –many that have never been published… until NOW! Published, produced and curated by long-time KISS fan Alain Bellicha, this photo album is the ultimate tribute to “KISS at Budokan”: 1977, 1978, 1988, and 1995. Celebrating the ‘classic’ line-ups of KISS: the originals -of course-, but also the 80’s KISS, with Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick, and the Revenge era with Eric Singer. All four tours celebrated and a brief history of the past five decades — all compiled into 160 pages of Klassik KISS!
