Aerosmith

In January 2002, when Aerosmith performed “What It Takes” live in Japan, they were in the midst of their resurgence following a series of successful albums in the late 1990s. The band had released *Just Push Play* in 2001, which included hit singles like “Jaded” and showcased their continued relevance in the rock scene. This period marked a significant comeback as they were enjoying increased mainstream visibility, partly due to their enduring hits and high-profile collaborations. Interestingly, Aerosmith's live performances during this era were characterized by high energy and connection with their audience, further solidifying their reputation as one of America's premier rock bands. This particular performance in Japan is notable not just for its musicality but also as a testament to the band's international appeal and their ability to engage with fans worldwide.
