Paul McCartney

I have been a fan of the Beatles for about 40 years.

This was my first time to see Paul McCartney live on stage.

The show started at about 7:15 PM on 25 April 2015 at Tokyo Dome.

When he appeared on the stage, it took me a short while to take in that Paul was really there to sing for us.

I felt restless during the first few songs.

"Eight Days A Week"

This was a surprise opening song, because it is sung by John Lennon on the album.

I had a feeling that John was there singing with Paul.

"The Long And Winding Road"

Paul struck a chord in my heart.

And I found myself singing along.

Back in my college days in USA, I painted a picture with the song in mind.

It was on display at a college exhibition.

"Blackbird"

It was thrilling for me to hear him singing the song live.

And I could not resist to sing along.

In a hostel in Liverpool in December 1994, I played the song on a guitar.

An Aussie guy then showed me how to play it in another way.

"Here Today"

The song touches me, because I believe it is a candid expression of Paul's feelings for John.

It was a special moment for me to see and hear Paul singing the song.

The show lasted for about 3 hours.

But I felt like 30 minutes.

I enjoyed every minute of it and was impressed with his professionalism.

Thank you very much for the great time, Paul.

I hope to see you again soon.

I am sure John would be happy about your success in his second home country he loved.
