On 2 July , 2005 , a Live 8 concert was held at Makuhari Messe , Chiba , Japan . The event is also referred to as "Live 8 Tokyo" or '''"Live 8 Japan"''' The concert was the first Live 8 show to start, because of Japan's earlier time zone. Attendance for the concert was low, with only 10,000 people attending the show in the 20,000 capacity Makuhari Messe venue. (Note: Only 10,000 tickets were given out via lottery) Japan's lineup for the Live 8 event was announced only a week before the concert, and failed to attract the same kind of buzz that counterpart concerts in London and Philadelphia did. Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks was asked to perform in the concert, but they had to turn it down because of band's touring schedule and a short notice. Japan is the only Asian country in the G8, and the only Asian country that took part in Live 8. LINEUP In order of appearance:
