is a 1967 American made-for-television promotional documentary for the release of the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice featuring clips from the four earlier 007 movies.
The feature stars Lois Maxwell and Desmond Llewelyn in character as Miss Moneypenny and Q respectively as well as Kate O'Mara as Miss Moneypenny's unnamed assistant. They all reflect on James Bond's previous adventures in Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger and Thunderball through the use of archival footage. In addition they speculate on Bond's current and future assignments, showing preview clips of You Only Live Twice.
A subplot is included about a woman (who is never directly shown, akin to Ernst Stavro Blofeld) who is obsessed with becoming Bond's next lover. She is seen holding a Pan paperback copy of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, possibly as a teaser to the audience that it would be the next novel to be adapted into a film (which it was).

Promotional documentary to coincide with the release of the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice (1967) featuring clips from the earlier 007 movies. Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond (1967) directed by Daniel Davis • Reviews, film + cast • Letterboxd
The "new" framing footage featuring "Miss Moneypenny" and "Q" is poorly written fluff delivered with inept line readings. Today's all-Kardashian, all-the-time TV is somewhat depressing, but WELCOME TO JAPAN MR. BOND proves that television actually has IMPROVED in the past 47 years!
