Samurai guitarist MIYAVI has just been announced as the special guest on the new song, “Like It’s Her Birthday“, from the American band, GOOD CHARLOTTE.

The American band has just transferred labels to Capitol Records, and their first album with the new label, “CARDIOLOGY“, will have the track with MIYAVI.  “Like It’s Her Birthday” will be released on the new album on November 27th in Japan; prior to its release in America.

GOOD CHARLOTTE’s Madden Brothers are actually quite respected in Japan and this is definitely a cool collaboration to have between artists.  GOOD CHARLOTTE’s staff actually saw MIYAVI at his performance in New York City and recommended him to the brothers.

MIYAVI met up with the band in Tokyo on August 26th to begin work.  The members already had a lot of positive things to day about the guitarist.  Benji Madden said, “When we were recording ‘Like It’s Her Birthday’, I heard MIYAVI’s guitar and I liked it instantly.  It was the best.  I thought that it was the sound I wanted for the new album and got so many ideas.”

MIYAVI has already been preparing for his new album, “WHAT’S MY NAME?“, and it’s due to come out on October 13th.  It will contain album versions of “SURVIVE” and “SUPER HERO.”  It will also have his new single “TORTURE,” bringing the track number up to 14 songs total.  The producer will be Yoshioka Toshikazu.
