Weezer

In August 2000, Weezer took the stage at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan, right in the midst of touring for their album 'The Green Album,' which was released earlier that year. This marked a significant comeback for the band, as they had taken a hiatus after their highly acclaimed 'Pinkerton' in 1996. Fans who gathered in Fuji-Yoshida were treated to a mix of new tracks alongside beloved classics, capturing the band's signature power-pop sound with an edge. The excitement of seeing them live at such a pivotal moment in their career reflects not only the band's resurgence but also their growing international appeal. Interestingly, this show showcased their evolution, illustrating how they shifted from the raw emotional intensity of earlier albums to a more polished, radio-friendly style, while still holding onto the charm that endeared them to fans worldwide.
