Kenshi is a fan of Hideaki’s and was looking forward to “Shin Ultraman”, so when the opportunity to the do the theme song was offered to him, he was pleasantly surprised, saying it was something he could have never dreamed of.

“M87” will come in three editions. The Ultra Edition will come in a reflective package with a mini laser. The Video Edition will come in a silver package with a DVD. The Regular Edition will come in a paper package and contain just a CD. The covers for all three editions features Shin Ultraman drawn by Kenshi,
