Beatles "1" DVD release day around the world, part 1

The huge displays in Japan remind us of the good ol' days when record stores (Tower Records, for one) would go nuts on days like this.

Three Beatles "1" DVD promo videos from Japan

The first two of these three Japanese promo videos, :30 and :15 seconds long respectively, have Japanese announcers saying "The Beatles!" and talking about the new release in their native language. The third one is the longest, 1:50, but does not have any Japanese announcers, just video clips with music. You can order the Japanese "1" releases at this link.
