THERE ARE FEW FOREIGN BANDS that whip Japan’s famously stoic audiences into a frenzy the way that English rockers Queen traditionally have.
Every April 17 is Queen Day there, with a slate of events to celebrate the day that the band first arrived in the country, back in 1975.
While the global pandemic has changed the celebration of Queen Day, it hasn’t blunted the intensity of Japanese fans’ love of the band.
