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. Said Cuomo, "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 2015.
