Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

When it comes to Western rock bands that are most widely known in Japan and enjoy enduring popularity across generations, Queen is the first name that comes to mind.

In the 1970s, they were even more explosively popular in Japan than in their home country of the UK, which even led to the creation of songs that incorporated Japanese lyrics.

Though Queen came to an end with the death of their absolute frontman, Freddie Mercury, they are now, in the 2020s, energetically active with the exceptionally talented singer Adam Lambert.

Thanks in part to the biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody, they have many younger fans as well.

No Synthesizers

On Queen’s early albums, the phrase “No Synthesizers” was printed to emphasize that, despite producing those remarkable sounds, they did not use any synthesizers at all. According to Freddie, it also served to highlight that Queen had an outstanding guitarist in Brian May, who could create sounds with his guitar that were almost like a synthesizer.
