Deep Purple rocks Japanese PM's office

Legendary British rock band Deep Purple have returned to Japan, a country they first toured more than half a century ago.

A drummer during her student days, Takaichi previously even invited South Korea’s president for an impromptu duo session. Morgan Ayre has more.
