The Beatles - the never-ending spirit of rock 'n' roll
Characters so hot they're put in middle school English textbooks!
It's a name that belongs to youth and legend - The Beatles!

On March 31, the RJ Jazz Big Band will bring you a live performance that will blow your mind!
Let's heat up the theatre and have a Beatles night!

When "Hey jude ~" comes on, romantic, tender notes fill the stage, this song was originally written for children, "No matter what life is like, you have to face it positively, you have to face reality bravely". When the song rises again on stage, it will bring back memories and tears from many times.

"If my records were on fire and I could only put one out, I would choose The Beatles. "

Do you ever think of the person you were as a teenager today
A Walkman, an old cassette tape
English lyrics that you couldn't understand, melodies that were all you had to offer
But it made you dream a million unattainable dreams in your head
The music that irrigated your every unpredictable hope

Their work 'Across the Universe'
was sent into space by NASA as a gift from Earthlings communicating with alien civilisations.
sent into space by NASA.
They injected ideas into rock music and
They sent the 60s into a frenzy.
And with their long hair.
With their music, they infused "love, beauty and courage"
They infused generations of young people with their music.
They were - The Beatles
