For a year and a half from 1973 to 1975, John and Yoko lived separately. During that time, May Pan, a Chinese American, supported John as his lover in both public and private life.
Journalist Fuyuki Aizawa reviews the documentary “John Lennon’s Lost Weekend”, in which May Pan himself tells this unknown love story!

Because at that time, the relationship between my wife and I was very cold. I even had an affair. Then my wife asked me another woman. Well, they have a relationship, right? Then I fell in love with that woman…and that’s how that long “weekend” began. Escape from his wife.
I wonder if John would say this after watching the film. To put it plainly, this is a love triangle story. However, it is a very large one.
The former Beatle John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono are great celebrities in the world of music. Mei Pan, another party involved and the couple’s personal assistant, talks about their relationship. Even if I don’t like this, I am very interested.

“Yoko’s official master” to prevent her from cheating
Speaking of John and Yoko, they were husband and wife, companions, and had a strong bond, famous for their anti-Vietnam War performance “Bed In.”
However, because of his behavior, John was seen as an enemy by the US Nixon administration at the time and became mentally unstable. There was a rift between the couple, and Yoko even saw John cheating on her.
Therefore, the thought “My husband has a relationship with a woman close to me so that he does not cheat on me with another woman” is a feeling that would be inconceivable to a normal person, but because it is believable. Yoko, it might be something like that.

The highlight was the reunion with Paul McCartney.
It is well known that although she and John produced most of the Beatles’ songs, their relationship gradually deteriorated due to Yoko’s appearance, leading to their breakup.
