Tired of SexWeezer25rank/position

Tired of Sex By: Weezer

With exhilarating, blaring guitars and tear-jerking melodies that belt out raw emotions that aren’t exactly “cool,” Weezer blew a hole in the alternative rock scene of the 1990s.

The band’s central figure, Rivers Cuomo, has never run dry as a songwriter even past the 2020s, and the group remains a popular, active force today.

Their second album, Pinkerton, released in 1996, received higher acclaim in Japan than in their home country of the United States, thanks in part to its Japanese-inspired cover art and the band’s affinity for Japan.

Opening that album, this track is a masterpiece: lyrics that walk a fine line between sincerity and twisted irony, a melody that absolutely weeps, guitars that explode out of feedback noise, and a thick, thunderous bass line—simply the best.

Why Bother?Weezer26rank/position

Why Bother?

Weezer, a power pop band emblematic of the 1990s.

“Why Bother?” is included on their 1996 album Pinkerton.

The song captivates with lyrics that express the pain of a man who’s been rejected and a rock sound that’s energetic and full of drive.

The band has had a major impact on Japan’s rock scene as well.

If you listen to Weezer before heading to a summer festival, you might catch a glimpse of that power in the performances of Japanese band members.

You Might ThinkWeezer27rank/position

Weezer – You Might Think (From Disney/Pixar’s CARS 2)

A song by the American alternative rock band Weezer.

It’s used as an insert song in the movie Cars 2 during the scene where they fly from the United States to Japan.

It’s a pop track that heightens the sense of excitement and makes you feel thrilled too.

The scenes set in Japan are also portrayed in a very fun way and are a must-see.

Merry XmasWeezer28rank/position

Weezer Merry Christmas / Weezer Merikuri

It’s an unexpected cover of BoA’s classic “Meri Kuri” by Rivers Cuomo, the vocalist of Weezer, who’s famous for being a huge Japanophile.

It’s surprising enough that Weezer, a globally popular American power-pop band, covered J-pop, but it’s even more astonishing that he sang the entire song in Japanese.

How about taking on a cover of this love-filled cover yourself?
