Japan was the first place where they became really huge stars. Its a core market to Queen till today.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Remarkable isn't it? (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

They actually learned to speak Japanese and Freddie was a collector of Japanese art

[@i8granola]

Its the last song on the Day at the Races album. They toured Japan many times. This tour was after the album came out.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Amazing stuff !! World wide stars. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@sharonhalliday3180]

This wasn't their first trip here. They made 7 trips plus Freddie did a lot of shopping for Garden Lodge. They taught themselves the language, and flew their interpreter to London to make sure they had the correct words and meaning according to one of the books. The Japanese were their biggest fans.

[@betseyclark2832]

Freddie wrote a song in Japanese too. He loved the culture. It's called La Japonaise, and is on the Barcelona album. Montserrat Caballe sings it with him and it is really beautiful. He also sang some in Spanish with her in that album : Ensueno, the song that came out of Exercises in Free Love.

[@pauliusnepo6195]

You wrong not Freddie wrote a song , Brian may in 1976

[@nataliebagshaw2773]

I love that song 1 of my favourites of the Barcelona album

[@celticpoet21]

Such a beautiful gesture of love and gratitude! In 1975, they first went on tour in Japan and (no kidding) it was like Beatlemania- they were greeted at the airport by tons of fans, got lots of gifts, etc. Basically Japan was the first country to fully embrace and acknowledge Queen as the Rock Gods they still are. Basically Queen really knows how to show love, respect and gratitude to fans. Before the whole lockdown took place, Queen and Adam Lambert managed to perform in Asia, New Zealand and Australia earlier this year and Brian May sang this song while in Japan and the crowds went just as nuts as ever! While its gorgeous live, they never sang the whole song through. The studio lyric version is also worth a listen, its beautiful!

Queen truly appreciated and loved their fans. There is a video from their time in Budapest showing Freddie and Brian learning a Hungarian folk song to perform in concert. Freddie had to write the words on his hand to remember them. Classic.

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

I see Teo Torriatte and over I cruise! Freddie's vocals are so nice and sharp. Brian's written & plays a lovely song here for us and for Queen's fans in Japan. They LOVED Japan. And were Loved back.

[@flyingcloud6776]

I love those recordings from the Japan tours, because it's so sweet how these fans are literally going crazy. Freddie had severe voice problems in the Japan shows 1979, it was the end of a long tour. In this song he's sounding only a bit hoarse here and there, but in other songs he's really struggling. Anyway, his voice recovered after that, and we have wonderful recordings like those from Montreal 1981.

[@jacobinghoy3551]

Montreal 81 is overdubbed

[@debbiebush5887]

Hey my brother not only they sang in Japanese also when Queen went to Budapest Freddie sang a folk song in Hungarian back to the audience and you should watch that. I think that Queen leaves every other band in the dust. Thank you for your reaction.

[@adinafarkas769]

Thank you Debbie! I am Hungarian so this means a world to me! I’ve seen every possible video about this- from him rehearsing in the hotel to him singing at the concert. I will leave the link for Hap here in case he wants to check out.

It was a Hungarian folk song, they rehearsed it in the hotel in Budapest before the concert. He learned the first verse and went on with la la la in the following verses letting the crowd fill in the blanks!

[@maximebriochain5567]

Every where they went they tried to show how much they appreciate their fans and spectators in concert. That's true Japan was special for them. Watch the video they made to thank the Japanese for that.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

I'll try. Thanks Maxime. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@rockledgeln]

Another great reaction. I'm so glad you liked it. It's one of my favorites. Queen loved their Japanese fans. I recall telling you that Japan changed everything for Queen when they first toured there. On November 24, 1991, a million million tears were shed in Japan (and a billion billion around the world) which continue to today when Brian sings Teo Torriatte to the old and young fans in the Japanese audiences who still sing their hearts out with this song. The words were prophetic.

[@deboraclark5791]

They released a single of the song in Japan before they toured. Great reaction 🙂

[@camh5036]

They had their version of Beatle mania in Japan lol it was crazy for them Check out Queen Japan 1975.

[@sherryheim5504]

Roger twirls his sticks to keep time and he does it all the time, it is like a pianist lifting up their hand during a musical rest. Brian wrote this song, I have always thought he fell in love with someone in Japan, kind of an instant attraction but knowing he would need to be moving on to be with his family and his life in his home of England. Brian did say he loved Japan. The song was on the album Day At The Races which came out in 1976. I love this song, it is so beautiful and the Japanese fans treated Queen like huge celebrities before any other country reacted to them in that way.

[@nanaprn7809]

Thanks for this. One of my favorites. Would you please do a reaction to Brian May singing with his band after Freddie,s death. most wonderful songs Back To The Light and Another World. And do a reaction on Freddie and Brian singing Is This The World We Created?

[@yvrkid7070]

Love, love , love this song. The studio version sounds like a choir. You have to listen to it! When Queen first toured Japan after the Sheer Heart Attack album in April 1975 apparently over 3,000 fans showed up at the airport. Freddie loved everything Japanese (except raw fish) and collected Japanese art. This is a thank you to their fans written by Brian. This is just one example of how much Queen loved their fans. There is some great footage on youtube of interviews in Tokyo. This is 1979 and the song was released in 1976 on the Day At the Races album and was only sung in concert in Japan. Brian is very good at languages but they had a Japanese translator take Brian's chorus and translate it. Let Us Cling Together is the English translation. Check out their Budapest concert and you will see Brian and Freddie with Mary Austin learning a Hungarian folk song for their fans.

[@nevinelwan]

OMG you have to listen to [ Love of my life - Queen in Tokyo Japan ] Freddie loved the way the Japaneses people sing in sync and actually they were great singing it with him

[@juttapopp1869]

A wonderful Tribute to their fans. And a lovely song... I've loved it since the seventies. It's on "a day At the races" so not just published shortly before the concert.

[@valerielansford565]

They so loved their fans. While they were in Budapest, Freddie learned a Hungarian Folk Song (in Hungarian) to sing together with the people at the show. If and when you get to documentaries, Hungarian Rhapsody gives great insight in to the first band to tour behind the Iron Curtain.

[@sally-anncloete7637]

The title means Let us cling together. I do believe that it was covered by a Japanese singer named Kokia which appeared on her 2008 Christmas album. Great reaction, thanks again!

Such a beautiful song. Loved your reaction! I love it when Roger flips the drum sticks. If you will notice he does it on almost every video..Queen has a huge fan base in Japan. In an interview they said the first time they toured Japan they were met at the airport with a crowd “similar to what the Beatles had when they first arrived in America”. They were stunned but loved it!

[@theresasutherland2380]

Beautiful song!!!! Freddie was a lover of all japanese. He has another japanese song in his solo album Barcelona called La Japonaise. You should try it. Very different, operatic style.

[@kevinapplegate2759]

Always released an album then toured to promote the album that's why they knew the lyrics

[@pattiebraymanskelly954]

He has sang in Japanese, Arabic, and Hungarian. I think it's either he or Brian that sings in Spanish. Brian speaks French beautifully. They know these lyrics because the album came out before the tour.

[@pattiebraymanskelly954]

P.s. now Brian sings it in concert when they're in Japan

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

They made a song especially dedicated to their loyal Japanese fans. What a statement. 🤯 (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@dianefowler8779]

I thought he was singing in Farsi rather than Arabic. I could be wrong, but in Iran the language is Farsi. Did Freddie not also sing a song in Hungarian during their tour there? There is also a video of Freddie and Brian rehearsing it.

[@pattiebraymanskelly954]

Diane, I was thinking of "Mustafa " in Arabic, if it's Farsi, I apologize. Then, yes, when they were in Hungary. Freddie learned & sang a Hungarian folk song. The documentary called Hungarian Rhapsody shows it. Then there's "Las Palabres" ( I might be wrong on that spelling) I'm forgetting right now, but there might be more.... I'll look and let you know

[@heatherqualy9143]

HAP3SPEAKZ DEFNITELY worth watching the Roger cam from Wembley...though, I don’t know of any other concerts that had a dedicated Rogercam set up. They had cameras set up to show him, but you never see him more than a few measures at a time. The Wembley concert used more than one camera to KEEP the focus on Roger, and intercut shots of him like usual for the final film, but they also released 20 minutes of ENTIRE songs just from Roger’s drum kit. That’s what makes it stand out.

[@davidbowiewowie9275]

7:15 the song had been out for about 3 years on their album "A Day At The Races" for the general public. It's even easier for them to learn the lyrics too, since it is in Japanese.

[@HelenaDax]

To be fair, lots of people can sing in a foreign language.... I mean, how many people can sing songs in English without being a native speaker? One thing that astonishes me, though, is the fact that he sang Ensueño un Spanish (it's the final version of Exercises in free love) and his accent is practically flawless. Except for one little moment, you would never say he isn't a native speaker. Also, it's beautiful to see the audience singing along, but the studio version is so rich too. You can hear there a lot of Japanese musical touches. Oh, in Mustapha Freddie sings a bit in Arabic (and makes up his own language too 😃)
