In 2005, Karl Koch of weezer.com informed us that the 2005-12-22 - Shinkiba Studio Coast #3 - Tokyo, Japan was professionally filmed for what was supposed to be the release of a LIVE DVD. Since then we were informed that this was placed on the back burner like many other Weezer projects.
Recently however, this video surfaced on YouTube. After speculation about the origin of the video took place on YouTube and the forums, albumsix user terbremlap contacted the author of the video, who replied:
“im an editor in hollywood and that weezer stuff was a job i did for thier japanese tour. We where told by the label that the piece (as well as 4-5 other ‘bumpers’ - havent posted those…) where to be included between performances from that japanese tour in a DVD. Ive never seen the final product as i dont live in japan
The other ‘bumpers’ included a meet and greet with the fans, a q&a with reporters and couple of them just hanging out at various locals in tokyo.”
Some fans are now wondering if this DVD is circulating somewhere in Japan, or if this video editor is misinformed. To discuss this recent confusion, head over to the albumsix forums.
