TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese rock fans flocked to Tokyo's Live 8 concert on Saturday, but it was Icelandic singer Bjork more than the more serious message about poverty that seemed to be the main draw. 

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to turn up to 10 concerts across four continents in what is billed as the greatest live music show ever staged. Whether they come for the music, the message, or both, remains to be seen.
