Rock band X Japan has just announced an unlikely collaboration. The group has teamed up with Sanrio for a special version of the popular character Hello Kitty. This is the first time in Kitty's 35-year history that it has been paired up with a real-life band.

The visual-kei style Kitty sports a black outfit, purple eye shadow, and partially dyed hair. An illustration has been posted on the band's official website.
