Kato is the sidekick of The Green Hornet, played by Bruce Lee in the Green Hornet television series. Maybe Morrissey is a fan of the show and Sam was feeling bored.
its a cryptic message The Smiths are reforming !
Nah! We've had the 'Unsmith' cowboy photo, then Moz's face glued onto the covers of 'This Charming Man' and 'The World Won't Listen'. The message is obvious. Morrissey is going to re-release the Smiths back catalogue, only with Marr, Rourke and Joyce's contributions taken out of the mix, and replaced by newly recorded instrumental backing tracks by Jesse and co. Also, Gustavo will sing a random verse in each song in Spanish.
These new 'Smiths: Redux' version will allow Morrissey to sell 'Smiths' records without Mike Joyce earning any royalties.
You may think I am joking, but artists re-recording/re-dubbing old classic albums in order to either cut musicians or old record labels out of royalties has been done quite a number of times.

All joking aside, I think Marr would have to grant his permission as co-writer for the songs to be re-recorded. Somehow I don't see them releasing a single of re-recorded versions of "Golden Lights" and "Work Is A Four-Letter Word." Or at least I fervently hope not.

I don't think you need anyone's permission to record a cover version of a song. You can just do it, so long as royalties are paid. Morrissey has already done his own version of There Is A Light and released it as a single.
Not that I think re-recording Smiths albums is likely. For one thing, he would need a recording contract.
