A power ballad titled Love Lives will reportedly be the first song Steven Tyler releases as a solo act.  The tune is said to be in line for the soundtrack to Space Battleship Yamoto, a Japanese sci-fi flick. Blabbermouth.net latched onto this story and a trailer clip from the movie, which the site says Tyler got inspired to write and record for the project after he got the chance to preview the climactic scene from the movie, which has its premier December 1.  The track is slated to go on sale in Japan Nov. 24.  This could be the week Tyler is gets confirmed as a judge on the upcoming season of American Idol, a prospect guitarist Joe Perry has said could spell the end for Aerosmith with Tyler out front.  Even heard through the foreign dialog gibberish in the feature clip the song sounds as derivative of I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, the pop hit Tyler sang in Armegeddon, as this film probably is of that one.  Between his interest in the Idol gig and the sound of this song, Aerosmith is becoming a distant blip on Tyler's radar.  Hear what you can of the song here.
