Announcing their Rhapsody Tour of Japan Roger Taylor said: "Japan has always been such a special place for Queen and we can't wait to return with our new show." 

Adam Lambert said:  “It feels like too long since we were last in Japan, but I have such fond memories of our time there, and I am so thrilled to go again with a whole new show.”

Says Brian May: “The fond relationship between Queen and the Japanese people is legendary. Over the years the bond has strengthened, and in recent months the success of the Bohemian Rhapsody film in Japan has become an unprecedented phenomenon.  It will be the greatest thrill for us to return in January to the country that first recognised Queen music nearly 50 years ago.  Subarashi desu!!!”

 “Bohemian Rhapsody” has topped the cinema box office in more than 35 countries around the world since its late October release, drawing worldwide box office receipts approaching $900 million. In Japan “Bohemian Rhapsody” provided the second highest global gross outside North America having achieved to date close on $114 million and becoming the No.1 box office film of 2018. “Bohemian Rhapsody” won four Oscar awards including best actor as well as the best actor and best film awards at the Golden Globes in Los Angeles. 

The excitement the film inspired also saw Queen propelled back on to the music charts, where they hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Artist 100 Chart, reminding fans why they loved them and dazzling the previously-uninitiated. ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is officially the world’s most-streamed song from the 20th Century.  In addition, Queen received this year’s Japan Gold Disc Award given by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. Queen won Artist of the Year in the western music category for selling more CDs, videos and Internet downloads than any other artists last year.

Queen also won Album Of The Year and Soundtrack Album Of The Year for “Bohemian Rhapsody (The Original Soundtrack)”. Across the soundtrack album and the Queen catalogue the band’s CD, DVD and digital sales since October last year has exceeded over 1.35 million in Japan.
