Early on during the session, the Beatles were visited by two members of the Japanese media, Koh Hasebe and Rumiko Hoshika. While the Beatles began rehearsing The Fool On The Hill, Koh took photographs and Rumiko recorded brief interviews with each member of the group.

"I knew I wouldn't have much time with them. But then it turned out they were super welcoming — they'd never met Japanese people before. The Beatles had already broken in the U.S., but they weren't well known in the East. So they were glad when the invitation came from Music Life magazine. They said we could take as many photos as we like. Film stars don't usually open up very much. But the Beatles were really friendly, and curious about us. They were like a new type of creature in the celebrity world. Their approach was different — and the same phenomenon was happening in Japan, where there was a group called the Three Funkies. So my first impression of them was really positive." —Koh Hasebe
