Weird coincidence, since I knew an anime/manga fan who was into Weezer.

Laughing You learn something new everyday! It's nice to see when a band, or artist has some relation, or knowledge of anime. Of course, Kanye West, and Lupe Fiasco are two others who've incorperated anime into their music before. So it's pretty cool to see Weezer being a part of it all as well.

Perhaps if "Go-On!" is made to an anime, Weezer's songs will be the soundtrack Anime smile.

That'd be interesting. They could do what The Pillows did for FLCL.

Just another way for a band to make some profits I am sure, but at least bands are braching out.

I would agree to this, but Mr West's mentioning reminds me that the results aren't universally pleasing.
Fire away.

Yeah, the next thing we know, they'd branch out to OPs and EDs of anime shows just to make a buck! Laughing

I never post here, but I had to post this. One of the Japanese bonus tracks on Weezer's new album is a cover of a J-pop tune. You can find the original on YouTube and sample the Weezer version here:

Merri Kuri - BoA

Enjoy
