Bob Dylan arrives in Japan for concert tour

May 05, 1978 - Tokyo, Japan - Just off the plane at Tokyo's Haneda airport Bob Dylan and members of his band, who flew in from Los Angeles for their first ever concert-tour of Japan, found themselves the target of a large group of Japanese photographers, some of whom had braved the chilly winds on the airfield for several hours. Safely inside the waiting bus, Dylan and Co. paused for a smile - before heading to a press-conference at an airport hotel, which was jammed by more than 150 press people and journalists. Asked to define the term love, Dylan replied: The ability to reason'. He also stated that he might debut new song-material while in Japan and called his earlier protest-songs his most brilliant love songs. Bob Dylan is scheduled to give 10 concert appearances in Tokyo and Osaka
