Well, he ain't got the feeling really, but still kind of a thing to applaude don't you think. I realized when they told about it on Music Station a few weeks ago. I think this guy has or used to have a Japanese girlfriend, and wanted to practice his Japanese but doing a thing like this. :-)

Well I love weezer because they influenced one of my all time favorite bands, ozma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well anyways, I really really needed that. His japanese makes my japanese seem native But just the fact that he covered a japanese song is good enough for me. More geek rockers should cover j-pop songs, Geek rock come save me from my horrible life.

Well I think that the song was recorded like a youtube cover, quickly and on a whim, so I'm not going to be too harsh on his singing, but just happy that he tried enough to learn the words, even if they are pronounced wrong.

I think it's obvious.

that was the worst cover ever. the vocals are horrible, especially if you've ever heard the original.

Even with reduced posting I can still beat you to some posts!

I don't know any of BoA's Japanese stuff. I only know some of her Korean works. I'm not too impressed.

HOOOOOLY SHIT
I TOTALLY just realized what that lyric means!

Never related the "your eyes are slit" to the "half-japanese girls" line in El Scorcho. I always thought your eyes are slit meant she got punched and her eye swelled shut so they had to cut it (ala Rocky) =P But now it all makes sense!

I'm through the looking glass, people. Thanx Maou! :lol;
