Sixty Years Since The Beatles' Japan Concert: Behind the Scenes, as Told by the Organizer Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting
Published
The world-famous band The Beatles performed their only concert in Japan sixty years ago this year. The "legendary Japan concert" was organized by Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting (CBC), based in Nagoya.
In 1966, The Beatles visited Japan and held a concert at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. At the time, large overseas bands rarely came to Japan. For this reason, many people were involved in preparing the event, and considerable effort was required for venue management, securing safety, and other matters.
CBC continues to share valuable accounts of the preparations for the concert and of the day itself. For fans, it remains one of the unforgettable memories. It is said that there were also events behind the scenes of the concert that are not widely known.
The Beatles' Japan concert is an important event not only for the history of music but also for the history of Japanese culture and broadcasting. Now, on the sixtieth anniversary, records from that time and testimonies from those involved are once again drawing attention.
