The Beatles perfomed 5 shows in the Nippon Budokon Hall, in Tokyo, one on June 30, 1966 and two shows each on July 1 and July 2, 1966. The opening show on June 30 and the first show on July 1 were videotaped. Both of these shows are still circulating. The dark suits were worn for the June 30 evening perfomance, and the light gray suits were worn for the early show on July 1st.

After this stop in Japan the tour continued to the Philippines. I don't remember what they wore their but I think their wardrobe was the last thing on their minds in the Philippines.

Agree with the above. There is a clip in the Documentary " The Complete Beatles " of this concert with them playing " Nowhere Man & If I needed Someone " .
