It’s pretty common knowledge that Rivers Cuomo digs Asian women. We’ve all listened to “Buddy Holly,” we all spent time with Pinkerton. Yet for all the creepiness that comes with that territory…remember “Across The Sea?”…I never figured it would reach this point. The Weezer lead singer has gone full otaku and decided to record an album with Allister’s Scott Murphy mostly in Japanese. The duo make like Applemilk1988 in the above video, and again in the clip below.

As easy as it is to make fun of Cuomo for this, let’s be fair and admit it will probably just be really boring/goofy like everything else modern-day Weezer has churned out. Hurley what?
