Watch Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo Sing in Japanese for a Uniqlo Ad

Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo and Scott Murphy of pop punk band Allister have filmed a Japanese commercial together for Uniqlo’s Steteco campaign. The ad features the musicians dressed for summer in Uniqlo menswear as they perform a Japanese folk song in front of a camper. This isn’t the first time Rivers and Scott have worked together in Japanese. They’ve released two LPs — 2013’s Scott & Rivers and this year’s Sony Music Japan release, ニマイメ— with lyrics almost entirely in the language.

Watch the Uniqlo ad below and check out Pitchfork’s Sunday Review of Weezer’s Blue Album.
