"'''カリフォルニア'''" (''California'') is a song initially released as a standalone single by [[Scott & Rivers]] on iTunes in December of [[2014]].

A new recording of the original Japanese song later appeared as "'''カリフォルニア サンシャイン'''" (''California Sunshine'') on the second Scott & Rivers album, [[ニマイメ]], in [[2017]]. | |||

"California Kids" was the only song kept from a group of 235 demos that Cuomo and producer [[Jake Sinclair]] listened to in early [[2015]] when beginning work on what would become ''The White Album'' [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Wannabeezer], and it was the inspiration for the album's "beach/nautical theme." The lyrics feature a "pack of heroic slackers," according the the album's iTunes description. The song was accidentally made available for streaming on Apple Music in the US on [[February 25]], [[2016]] and shared among the fan community before it was taken down again by Apple. | |||
