Considering they're only an hour and a half apart by car (the 4/29 show was even labelled as Shizuoka for years, seeing as it's in Shizuoka Prefecture) I'd say one show just replaced the other, probably due to a scheduling conflict. Perhaps this image helps to identify the city. My English is a mess, but my Japanese is worse to understand what he says. I don't think identifying the city a problem. The original schedule had them playing at the Sunpukaikan in Shizuoka City (in Shizuoka Prefecture) on April 21, but that was cancelled, and likely rescheduled to the Tsumagoi Exhibition Hall in Kakegawa (also in Shizuoka Prefecture) on April 29. The planned sponsor for the April 21 show was TV Shizuoka, but it's World Leisure for April 29, so maybe something fell through there.

Hi, first of all, thank you very much for putting this together, it's super interesting!
I stumbled over this photo (only information is that it's from 1975) and was wondering if this was taken during the Japan tour as well? Brian's rainbow scarf can be seen in the April 24 photos, and Freddie's wearing the same jacket as on the day of their arrival.

Thanks! I have four other Tour Diary threads in the 1970s and 1980s sections, so you may find those interesting, too. I can't say for sure, but I don't think that mini golf pic is from Japan. Here's another shot, presumably from the same day: Take a look at Roger's clothes in this shot (Music Life magazine, May 1975 issue, photographer uncredited): You can see Roger's coat from the mini golf photos on top of the suitcase next to him. His Queen t-shirt is clearly visible underneath his denim top, and in the mini golf picture, you can see the "E" from that t-shirt under the denim shirt. John is seen wearing the same shirt and jeans, and the accompanying photos of Freddie and Brian (not posted here) also show them wearing the same outfits, except Freddie's coat is different. He has an open suitcase, though. The photos with the red chairs were posted in the "Queen in Pictures" thread a while back, and we were trying to identify where and when they were taken. I can now say that these photos are from when Music Life flew out to Chicago to catch their March 8, 1975 show. Actually, it was the director of Warner Pioneer Japan who flew out to catch the show and write a report for Music Life, prior to their arrival in Japan. So, because all four are wearing the same outfits, the mini golf photos were likely from March 1975 in Chicago. Of course, they were travelling with the same clothes in their suitcases, so it's not for certain.
