  • Happy Christmas (War Is Over!)

    Happy Christmas (War Is Over!)

    HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER!) On March 20th 1969 John Lennon married Yoko Ono. Knowing their marriage would be a huge press event, John and Yoko decided to use the publicity to promote world peace. They spent their honeymoon in the presidential suite (Room 902) at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel for a week between March 25 and 31, inviting the world's press into their hotel room every day between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. It was their non-violent way of protesting against wars and promoting peace. Their second Bed-In took place in Montreal, Canada on May 26th 1969. During their seven-day stay, they sang the peace anthem "Give Peace a Chance", and recorded it in the hotel room on June 1st. On December 15th 1969 John and Yoko spread their messages of peace with billboards reading "WAR IS OVER! If You Want It - Happy Christmas From John and Yoko". These billboards went up in twelve major world cities : New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Rome, Athens, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Helsinki. Although “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” was apparently about the Vietnam War, it proved a universal message understood worldwide. VOCABULAIRE : 1.

Figure 6 Yokoo Tadanori, War Is Over!: A Christmas Party for Love and Peace Called for by John and Yoko Lennon, 1969. Poster, approx. 48.5 x 34 cm. Courtesy Yokoo Tadanori 72 REVIEW OF JAPANESE CULTURE AND SOCIETY DECEMBER 2005 War Is Over!: John and Yoko’s Christmas Eve Happening, Tokyo, 1969 Kevin Concannon On December 15, 1969, news organizations around the globe announced that John Lennon and Yoko Ono had “purchased billboard space in 11 major cities of the world to display their Christmas message for peace.”1 In the language of each city, the billboards (as well as posters, print advertisements, and postcards) read: “War Is Over! If You Want It. Happy Christmas from John & Yoko” (Figs. 7–8).2 Reports listed the cities as London, New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto, Paris, Rome, West Berlin, Amsterdam, Athens, and Tokyo. In a New York Times report the following day, however, Tokyo was conspicu- ously absent from the list, although all other cities were duly mentioned.3 In the thirty-six years since, no documentation has emerged to suggest that the omission of Tokyo was an oversight of the New York Times. Indeed, no War Is Over! billboard appeared in Tokyo that Christmas.4 Nonetheless, the War Is Over! campaign reached the city, as a major demonstration and poster campaign. This article will explore the Tokyo manifestation of War Is Over! in the context of Lennon and Ono’s broader Peace Campaign as well as the international antiwar movement of which it was an important part.

    TUNESAT Lennon Ono PR 6-4-12

    John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Lenono Music & Ono Music Select TuneSat to Monitor Songs on Television and the Internet June 4, 2012 – Lenono Music and Ono Music, the publishing companies that control the solo material of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, are using TuneSat to monitor the use of their iconic songs on broadcast TV stations and websites around the world. TuneSat’s proprietary technology will fingerprint all of the works from these catalogs and track their use on hundreds of broadcast channels in 13 countries as well as streaming audio, video, podcasts, flash, and other multimedia files on millions of websites. They will then be able to view detections in real time via TuneSat’s secure web portal, providing them with full transparency and accountability of when and where their music is used in each instance. “John and I were both extremely detailed artists that put a lot of thought into not only how our music sounded but also how it was presented,” said Yoko Ono. “With the sheer number of broadcast TV stations and websites popping up around the world, it’s impossible to keep track of where and how our music is being used without the use of technology, which means it is often used in ways we don’t support. Now with TuneSat, I will be able to monitor the use of our tracks no matter where they’re played and make sure they are represented in the proper way.” “John Lennon and Yoko Ono are true legends. It’s a privilege to work with them at TuneSat,” said Scott Schreer, CEO and founder of TuneSat.
