They are widely regarded as the most influential band of all time and were integral to the development of 1960s counterculture and the recognition of popular music as an art form. (Wikipedia)
Matsuzaki-sensei didn't specify what song she likes the most, so I added the most famous songs from The Beatles to our Spotify playlist called "Sensei Jam"

Favorite and famous place in Japan 日本で大好きな有名な所
京都
Kyoto（京都, きょうと） served as Japan's capital and the emperor's residence from 794 until 1868. It is one of the country's ten largest cities with 1.5 million inhabitants and a modern face.
Over the centuries, Kyoto was destroyed by many wars and fires, but due to its exceptional historic value, the city was dropped from the list of target cities for the atomic bomb and escaped destruction during World War II. Countless temples, shrines and other historically priceless structures survive in the city today.
