They had been scheduled to perform at the Budokan in Tokyo for several shows beginning from Valentine's Day 1973. However, in January that year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that due to drug possession, the Stones would be banned from entering Japan. And as you pointed out, they wouldn't perform for the first time until Valentine's Day 1990.<br /><br />Strangely enough, because of the cancellation of the 1973 concerts, a song titled "Rolling Stones wa Konakatta" (The Rolling Stones Didn't Come) was recorded by Teruhiko Saigo for a June 1973 release.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-5018632639298584502021-08-25T19:17:48.046-04:002021-08-25T19:17:48.046-04:00Hello, Brian.

However, there is the deeper side of me that would think: "Probably the stiff anti-drug laws in Japan". Paul McCartney found that out the hard way. :)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
