First of all, I`d like to say hello to all visitors. My name is Moai (Contact E-mail), living in Tokyo, Japan.
I have been a "life-time" Beatles enthusiast for more than 15 years, loved their music since I was just a little kid.
As same as Japanese traditional music, I love some pop music delivered from UK, such as XTC, Led Zeppelin and Elvis Costello. I think, most of what I feel "pop" seems to be derived from Beatles and UK music.
The music of Beatles have also given a strong impact on Japanese musicians. As many of you may know, Beatles live at Budokan (in Tokyo, 1966) was truly a "big-event" at that age, for it was the first time they played in Japan.
