Queen members are very white "We are not rock stars..." first interview after the movie release NHK News Watch 9
The movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", featuring Queen's vocalist Freddie Mercury, became a big hit, with an audience of 3.9 million and sales exceeding 5.3 billion. Under such circumstances, NHK's "Newswatch 9" broadcasted on December 17, successful exclusive interviews with Queen Brian May and Roger Taylor, and attracted attention due to movie hits.
Newswatch 9, broadcasted on July 17, successfully interviewed Brian May (guitar), guitar of British rock band Queen, and Roger Taylor (drum). Queen is known as the pro-Japanese family. For that reason, Roger says, "The popularity in the United States and the United Kingdom was a little bit, and the popularity in Japan was overwhelming." In addition, as for the welcome of fans at Haneda Airport, "Fantastic! He also used the word "I'll never forget that day at Haneda Airport." Queen is a global band, but it is known that it has gained enthusiastic popularity from Female Fans in Japan and has spread around the world from there. The movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" has also been a hit all over the world, but in Japan, especially for the fourth week in a row, it has been a hit with a rise in the right shoulder, surpassing the previous week's box office. The enthusiastic support in Japan gave the band confidence and showed that they were able to move forward, and it was still about 30 years after Freddy's death, and it made me feel the relationship between Japan and Queen. In addition, there was an introduction of Queen's song "Teo Torriatte" which sings a part in Japanese in the program. Queen songs, including this song, can be heard on the official YouTube channel.

"British rock band #クイーン. The movie #ボヘミアン Rhapsody, which depicts their glory days, is a big hit. Two of the queen's members gave us an exclusive interview. It's been almost 30 years since the death of vocalist Freddie Mercury. Even now, Queen's music captures people's hearts. #nhk pic.twitter.com/mJQtxHwANr

In the show, there was a scene and a scene that touched the anguish of Freddy, who was born to Persian Indian parents and was gay. Brian commented, "We talked a lot about each of our pains," referring to the song "It's a Hard Life" that incorporates their emotions into the lyrics. There was also a scene where he emphasized the song's message, saying, "I live in a mansion and live a gorgeous life on the surface, but my heart is broken." Freddy, who was suffering, tried to overcome the anguish by connecting with the audience as a performer. As for Freddy, Roger stresses his personality in powerful words, saying, "It was all about connecting with people." Brian also said, "We wanted to be human, not rock stars."
People who watched the broadcast commented, "It was a short time, but I'm glad the content was thick" and "I was still a wonderful artist in the past and now." I am also resonated with the words that they have said at the end of what is happening in the United States, which wants to build bridges rather than walls. It was a short time, but I was drawing out the philosophy and anguish of the band Queen, and the message of the present age. By the way, we also decided to rebroadcast "Bohemian Rhapsody Murder" which was broadcast in 2002 and was popular in response to the hit of the movie. This program is a deep-content program that delves into the secrets of the hit of "Bohemian Rhapsody" from various angles, such as how to record opera parts and pv strategies that were revolutionary at the time. Nhk General will be broadcasting from 1:05 p.m. on Monday, December 24, 2018, so if you are interested, please watch it.
