They made their record debut in 1962 and are said to have effectively disbanded in 1970, yet their popularity shows no signs of fading.
In their early years, they enjoyed idol-like fame, but they gradually elevated their musical standing and came to be highly esteemed by fellow musicians as well.
When they first visited Japan in 1966, they performed live at the Budokan.
It’s said that their show was the first rock concert ever held at that venue.

Mr. MoonlightThe Beatles
This song was released in 1962 by R&B singer Piano Red.
It became widely known after the Beatles included it on their 1964 album Beatles for Sale.
The narrator, who encounters Mr.
Moonlight on a summer night, wishes for him to come again—but perhaps the season we’re thinking of is autumn.

Happy BirthdayThe Beatles
The Beatles are singing Happy Birthday.
I didn’t know footage like this existed.
If you play this song, it might end up being a birthday where the parents are even more excited than the kids—like, “It’s the Beatles!”
Greatest Stars On 45The Beatles
This is a medley collection of the Beatles, who reigned at the pinnacle of the music world and still have a major influence on rock today.
I think this will satisfy everyone from beginners to hardcore Beatles fans.
There are plenty of upbeat tracks, so it’s sure to liven things up even when listened to by a large group.
Sun KingThe Beatles
A Beatles piece whose opening insect chirps evoke a distinctly autumnal feeling.
Appreciating the sounds of insects is said to be a uniquely Japanese custom, and perhaps Yoko Ono’s influence played a part here.
It seems like something that could help you sleep soundly if you listen to it before bed.
Real LoveThe Beatles
It’s the final single released in 1996, after the Beatles’ breakup and John’s death.
Using a demo tape of a song by John Lennon that Yoko Ono had kept, the other members added their touches to complete the track, resulting in a characteristically John-like, simple and beautiful love song.
Abbey RoadThe Beatles
The Beatles—legends who need no introduction.
They’re the icons of rock and pop music who produced countless timeless songs and classic albums that are still sung today.
In Japan, they were also pioneers, being the first to use the Budokan for a concert and opening doors for later artists.
You could say every one of their albums is a masterpiece.
My recommendation is Abbey Road.
The crosswalk photo on the cover is so famous that fans still flock to the location to take commemorative photos.
As for the music, the final three tracks—Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End—flow together with such beauty that even now, just listening to them can bring me to tears.
