Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler continues to walk his own way. Aside from the not yet officially confirmed gig as a judge on American Idol, Tyler is also going solo on record.

Tyler is singing the theme song for the live-action film version of the Space Battleship Yamato anime franchise. Tyler wrote the “Love Lives” song specifically for the film, and the single will go on sale in Japan on November 24. It is Tyler’s first solo single.

After his agent received the official offer from the Yamato production staff, Tyler looked over an English translation of the script and production materials. He responded to the Yamato’s theme of “I want to protect the ones I love” and agreed to write a song.
