ABSTRACT
This chapter examines a few key events in the other members' solo careers connected to Japan, focuses on trips made by Paul McCartney and George Harrison, which show how the Beatles' fame in Japan has been maintained over the decades after their break-up. The group arrived in two groups: the band crew and backing musicians flew to Japan from London, while the McCartney and family came from New York. For Harrison, the Japan tour would be his first major solo performance since his North American Dark Horse tour in 1974, which played to scathing reviews. As Harrison was extremely nervous about performing live, the Japanese fans might have seemed a safe and supportive audience for his return to the stage. In an interview with Japan Sony Music in 1991, Harrison and Clapton sit side by side and say how they are looking forward to the trip, juxtaposed with clips from their 1987 performance for the Prince's Trust.
