Scott & Rivers (Japanese: スコット と リバース, Sukotto to Ribāsu) is the eponymous debut album by pop/rock duo Scott & Rivers. It was released in Japan on March 20, 2013.
Overview
Rivers Cuomo first mentioned his intent to release a Japanese-language solo album in 2009, when he uploaded in-progress demos of a song written with songwriter Shusui to the website Indaba Music, offering $208 for somebody to produce a better demo of the music[1] (Cuomo, at this time, had recently suffered cracked ribs and internal bleeding following a bus accident).[2][3] Cuomo indicated that this song (which later became "Homely Girl") was intended for a solo project tentatively titled The Kumamoto Kid (Japanese: ザ クマモトキッド, named for the city of Kumamoto, where Cuomo's wife, Kyoko, was born).
Some time later, Cuomo was joined by musician Scott Murphy. He later explains in a Riverpedia entry: "Somebody at Weezer's record company introduced us after I told them that I was looking for a Japanese speaking gaijin collaborator."[4]
Two physical versions of the album were released: a standard CD, and a deluxe edition which included a bonus DVD. A follow-up album, Nimaime, was released in 2017.
