{{
Matthew Sweet (born 6 October 1964) is a Nebraska-born [[Power Pop]] musician who gained some success with the [[Alternative Rock]] boom early in [[The Nineties]], tapered off, and instead settled into recording and touring for a devoted fanbase.
Line 12:
Sweet has a ''huge'' following in [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|Japan]], which can be attributed to the fact that he is [[One of Us]]: the videos for "Girlfriend" and "I've Been Waiting" used clips from ''[[Space Adventure Cobra]]'' and ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' before anime became really popular Stateside. ''Kimi Ga Suki'' was originally a Japan-only release as a "thank you" for his fanbase there before unexpected popularity also brought it to the USA.
