I was in a karaoke video in 1991, for a song called ’Sukiyaki ’ which is a very famous Japanese song, and I’ve actually heard from people that they’ve been in bars in Asia where they’ve seen me come up in the ’Sukiyaki’ video that they play behind you. I’m in that. I’m in a karaoke video.

Weatherly recounts an early, quirky brush with on-screen visibility: appearing in a karaoke background video for “Sukiyaki,” a song widely recognized in Japan and across Asia. The humor lies in the mismatch between celebrity and anonymity—his image circulates internationally in a context where viewers may not know who he is, and where the “performance” is incidental to someone else’s singing. The anecdote also gestures to the odd afterlives of media: a small gig from 1991 can resurface decades later in bars and karaoke rooms, creating a kind of accidental, global cameo that predates his later fame.
