THE SPELLBOUND × BOOM BOOM SATELLITES take on "KICK IT OUT" for THE FIRST TAKE, with Michiyuki Kawashima's voice folded in as a sample. The track turned 20 this year, and the anniversary frame is doing real work around it: a July 29 reprise single, a memorial tour marking a decade since Kawashima's death, and a birthday show on August 24 at Cine City Square in Shinjuku. The single-take video premieres Friday at 10:00 PM JST.
