Yoshiki said this about the collaboration:
“Josh brought extraordinary emotion and depth to ‘Forever Love. Hearing him sing the song in perfect Japanese was deeply moving. This music has connected with people in Japan for many years, and I hope our performance carries its message of love to people around the world.”
