The Beatles in Japan rare video released after years of court battles over censorship

Silent black-and-white 1966 footage of the British band’s only visit to the country shows them wearing kimonos and performing to a rapturous audience in Tokyo

All the faces of everyone except the Beatles have been pixelated for privacy reasons, and pleas from freedom-of-information advocates were rejected by the court

Beatles fans have hailed the release of never-before-seen footage showing the Fab Four on tour in Japan, following a fierce court battle over the 35-minute video.

The silent black-and-white footage of the British band’s only visit to the country in 1966 was recorded by police as a security measure.

It shows the musicians descending from a plane in matching kimonos and performing to a rapturous crowd at the Budokan arena in Tokyo, as well as behind-the-scenes police operations.

The footage has a noticeable quirk, however: the faces of everyone except the Beatles – from crying admirers to officers facing off with right-wingers protesting the tour – have been pixelated for privacy reasons.

Never-before-seen Beatles footage released in Japan:


This had been a key sticking point for fans and freedom-of-information advocates, who fought a long and winding battle demanding that the footage remain uncensored.

They took their case all the way to Japan’s Supreme Court, arguing that the video was a “historical document” and pleading for authorities to simply let it be.

However, the top court rejected the case in 2018, and the footage was released late last month after four painstaking years of pixelation work, said Satoshi Shinkai, head of the civic group that fought the legal battle with authorities.

“The film has come to light for the first time ever … I’m sure Beatles scholars and fans across the world will pay close attention to it,” Shinkai, himself a Beatles fan, said on Monday.

The Beatles remain hugely popular in Japan but toured the country only once, playing five concerts, and were trailed by legions of screaming fans.

Police provided the heavily edited clips to Shinkai’s group, which campaigns for freer information disclosure and has posted the footage publicly on YouTube.

The group had argued that it was almost impossible to identify people in the footage more than 50 years on.

The face pixelation points to Japan’s “backwards mindset” regarding information disclosure and its “hidebound views on culture”, said Shinkai, who is also a lawyer.

Good upscaled work...

A scan of the Pop Movies LTD 'The Beatles Triumphant Appearance In The USA' silent 8mm newsreel. This newsreel was part of a three part series of films that were available for purchase in the early 60s.

This film features The Beatles playing 'From Me To You' at the Washington Coliseum in 1964. This is followed by some press interview shots, at the end.

Obscurities II: Relics (Demos, Rehearsals and Radio Skits)...

Disc 2, Relics, consists of rough demos, a couple rehearsals and some radio sketches and talking pieces. Highlights include a Cavern Club rehearsal for I Saw Her Standing There, a very rare acoustic version of Helter Skelter, a demo recorded with Donovan, a song John wrote when Brian Epstein died, a 20 minute chat with The Beatles and many more. Side one is songs, and side two is skits and talking pieces. Enjoy!
