Introducing the band and the band members.
The Silver Beats debuted in 2002 at The Cavern Club Tokyo, since then they've been playing nightly from 7:30 PM until 2:00 AM. The Cavern Club Tokyo in Roppongi is the most well known Beatles Live House in Japan that has been vastly popular to old and young for the past 24 years. Our repertory consists of 160 Beatles songs that covers the whole career of the Beatles from early tunes to the late ones. The member consist of Tadaaki Naganuma (B, Vo), Eric Mabuchi (G, Vo, Key), Hajime Kubo (G, Vo), Yukinobu Kabe (Dr). Of note here is Eric, who is a dead ringer of John Lennon, not only for his appearance, but for his movements and voice. One feels the ghost of John on stage when Eric sings. As an anecdote, Tadaaki sang "Yesterday" for more times than Sir Paul!?
