We attended 'Beatlemania' in Tokyo at a hotel contracted out to the American government.
The boys came with us so we could spend the night, swim, and just enjoy being downtown.
Each of the tables were decorated with black and/or white plastic hats, reflective sunglasses with the peace symbol on them, neon bracelets/necklaces, balloons and plastic records with a Beatle hit on it. There was a full buffet line with soups, bread, cheeses, salads, seafood, prime rib, various potatoes, rices, and veggies and of course, desserts. We sat with our friends from base and a couple that they knew.
There's a video so you can here the band. We were told that we were lucky this year b/c this band spoke English beyond the words of the songs and would talk in between some of the songs. Last year, the band spoke no English beyond knowing how to sing the songs.
(The video upload is really bad, but you'll get the idea.)
Oh, and the hotel we stayed at each of the suites have a state's name. The OHIO one was across the hall from us and we could not resist taking the picture. (yes, it would have been really cool if that had been suite but it was the first time we had seen so it was still fun).

The next day before we headed home we went and checked out the park by the hotel.
