This Japanese cover band’s one and only album was called Please Please Me . You know, like The Beatles’ first album?
The Beatles released their first album in 1963, and not long after, Beatlemania took over. Japan was no exception, as evidenced by this obscure but enthusiastic imitation band called the Tokyo Beatles.

Like The Beatles, the band emulated the signature British hairstyles. Costumes, however, were more makeshift.

The Tokyo Beatles released just one album in 1964 called Please Please Me. This is the art for the re-release 30 years later in 1994.
