'She is very much a part of the club scene already, particularly among the gay community, and she looks amazing.' 'She is the ideal icon that appeals to both Japanese and Western people' says Tei. Tei then shared that her vocal contributions was one of the things he's 'happiest' about the album. 'GBI' then made its appearance on Tei's second studio album Sound Museum (1997), while 'Sometime Samurai' was later re-recorded by Kylie in 2003 and appeared on Tei's fifth album Flash (2005).

The outputs from the session were 'GBI (German Bold Italic)' and a demo of ' Sometime Samurai'.

She then came to perform in Japan and met Tei, they tried to make some songs for her album at Sangenjaya. In 1996, coming back to a studio in Sangenjaya, Setagaya, Japan after going for drinks, Towa Tei received a hand-written fax that had 'a picture of some sort' on it that said: 'Music with you! Kylie. The song was later added to Tei's first greatest hits album called Best (2001), and was later re-worked for inclusion on his eleventh studio album EMO (2017). It features scenes of Kylie dressing as a geisha throughout New York City streets.

The song's music video was directed by French director Stéphane Sednaoui and inspired by a mutual appreciation of Japanese culture between him and Kylie. However, it was said to be a minor hit in Tei's home country, Japan. It peaked at number 50 in Australia and failed to reach top 50 in the United Kingdom with number 63. Commercially, the song was one of her least successful track on the charts. Many critics praises the song for its distinctiveness from Kylie's catalogue, with others notice the track as one of the important artistic moves that define her musical career. The song is a 'minimalist' house-techno track with lyrics portrayed Kylie as a typeface called 'German Bold Italic,' with her vocals performed in a tongue-in-cheek style. It is the lead single from Tei's second studio album Sound Museum (1997), released by Arthrob in the United Kingdom. ' GBI: German Bold Italic' is a song by Japanese American music producer Towa Tei, featuring Kylie Minogue.
