Weezer came back to the chart as their Japanese version of the record released in the chart week. Siam Shade Tribute at #5 is quite interesting. SiamShade was a hard-rock-influenced band, that broke up in 2002. They had some hit singles released in the end of 1990s and was a mid-sized band. I don't know how the album came about. Why now in this way? But, anyway, hard rock luminaries such as Sebastian Batch (ex Skid Row) and Eric Martin (Mr. Big) cover the band's hit songs for the album. You can see who are on on the special website here. And here is the original version of "1/3 no junjou na kanjou (1/3の純情な感情)"



They were a great band by the way. Finally, it's my favourite song "Passion" from a-male-only gig called "Otokogi".
