German power metal legends and longtime HardRadio friends HELLOWEEN are gearing up to release their new album Giants & Monsters on August 29 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Leading the charge is the album's first single, "This Is Tokyo", accompanied by a visual homage to Japan. The powerful, four-minute anthem features vocalists Andi Deris and Michael Kiske and delivers a chorus designed for stadium sing-alongs. The song holds personal significance for Deris: "I've always wanted to write this song. Japan plays a special role in my life because I had my first big successes there. I wanted to create a tribute to Japan for a while now and finally found the right lyrics. Because 'Tokyo' sounds better than 'Japan', the city stands for a whole country that is very important to me." Watch below:
