Legendary live video “LIVE IN JAPAN” revived with the highest quality ever. In this work, QUEEN is a band that has continued to publish ambitious works not only in albums but also in images, but this work is a live video that they first released to the public. It was selected as a memorable honor in Japan, and it is a multi camera camera shot containing the performance “November 3, 1982: Seibu baseball stadium” which was also the final performance of “HOT SPACE TOUR 1982”. This image was released only in Japan. Although it was recurred several times with VHS and laser disc, it was not announced globally. In 2004, I realized the DVD as a bonus image of “QUEEN ON FIRE – LIVE AT THE BOWL”, but it was also halfway sort of six net songs. It is a legendary image that has captured the envy of eyes from overseas maniacs.
In this work, I used the mint quality board that Coremania treasured even in that Japanese disc laser disc. We entrusted it to a special manufacturer of overseas analog images and made it into a DVD in a high-end environment of professional specifications. That picture is exactly the highest peak ever. Although the laser disk is different from the scan line standard with VHS, furthermore the image beauty spreading all over the screen is no running distortion which is the fate of the magnetic tape and no distortion of the screen. Moreover, digitization by a professional manufacturer has pulled out all of the information dormitory which the laser disc had, and it is much more glossy than the memory which was familiar in consumer machines. Even in the reprint series so far, I’ve gotten a big reputation “I am beautiful than my laser,” but you can taste the quality of the highest grade among its collections.
The appearance of young QUEEN drawn with such quality is filled with glaring eyes. To be honest, there is only a final performance of “HOT SPACE TOUR 1982” which lasts for seven months, so I can not hide the tiredness of the tour (which may be why I can not hope for a massive DVD). Freddie Mercury, especially in Friday Mercury, can not be said to be in perfect condition in a cold outdoor performance in November, but it is awesome to wield the voice that does not come out, and the power of performance that bounces off the cover is amazing. The feeling of the fissure like a rush was felt also in the audience recording and the like, but the performance which makes full use of the body of 36 years old approaches Vivid by the image. You can witness it at the highest ever Official Proshot ever (Anyway, to officially release without replacing ….).
Also, the set list is delicious. The shortened size of about 1 hour is far from the full set but still firmly records “Love of My Life” which did not do in other countries and “Teo Torriatte” unique to Japan. Even though I botherly did not remove the songs that I played only in Japan, their feelings that I felt special in Japan seemed transparent. As a matter of fact, there was a mistake in the middle of “Teo Torriatte” at the work site, but in this work the official repaired by editing. It is a natural finish. In these songs, a big chorus with female voice fans as a main thing rises up, but the singing voice unique to Japan is very moving. Songs such as “Teo Torriatte”, “Flash’s Theme / The Hero”, “Put Out The Fire”, “Save Me” are also the last performances for Freddie this day. It is the first live work and the last melody is close to the chest.

QUEEN who always thought Japan exceptionally. Unfortunately it did not qualify, but still she chose Japan for her first live work and showed a passionate passionate response. A monument in which officials engrave their appearance, the singing voice of the Japanese who they loved. A video work envied by the world mania. The highest quality quality record ever. Go to your hand who continues to love QUEEN still this weekend.
伝説的のライヴビデオ『LIVE IN JAPAN』が史上最高峰クオリティで蘇りました。本作は、QUEENはアルバムだけでなく、映像でも意欲的な作品を発表し続けたバンドですが、本作はそんな彼らが初めて世に出したライヴ映像。その記念すべき栄誉に選ばれたのは日本で、“HOT SPACE TOUR 1982”の最終公演ともなった「1982年11月3日:西武球場」公演を収めたマルチカメラ・プロショットです。この映像は日本だけでリリースされたもの。幾度かVHSとレーザーディスクで再発されましたが、全世界的には発表されなかった。2004年には『QUEEN ON FIRE – LIVE AT THE BOWL』のボーナス映像としてDVD化も実現しましたが、それも正味6曲分という中途半端なもの。海外のマニアから羨望の眼差しを集めてきた伝説映像なのです。
本作では、その日本盤レーザーディスクでもコアマニアが秘蔵していたミント・クオリティ盤を使用。それを海外のアナログ映像の専門メーカーに委託し、プロ仕様のハイエンド環境でDVD化いたしました。その映像は、まさに史上最高峰。レーザーディスクは、VHSとは走査線規格から違うわけですが、さらに磁気テープの宿命である走行ヨレや画面の歪みも一切ない映像美が画面いっぱいに広がる。しかも、専門メーカーによるデジタル化は、レーザーディスクが持っていた情報寮のすべてを引き出し尽くしており、民生機で見慣れていた記憶よりも遙かに艶やか。これまでの復刻シリーズでも「ウチのレーザーよりも綺麗だ」と大評判を頂いてきましたが、そのコレクションの中でも特級のクオリティが味わえるのです。
そんなクオリティで描かれる若きQUEENの姿は、目にも眩しい輝きに満ちている。正直なところ、7ヶ月に及ぶ“HOT SPACE TOUR 1982”の最終公演だけあってツアー疲れは隠しきれない(だからこそ大々的なDVD化が望めないのかも知れません)。11月の寒い野外公演にノドを痛めたのか、特にフレディ・マーキュリーはお世辞にも絶好調とは言えないわけですが、出ない声を振り絞る気迫、その分をカバーを跳ね返すパフォーマンスの迫力が凄い。押し寄せるような裂帛の気合いはオーディエンス録音などでも感じられましたが、36歳の肉体を駆使するパフォーマンスは映像なればこそビビッドに迫る。それを史上最高峰のオフィシャル・プロショットで目撃できるのです(それにしても、差し替えずに公式リリースするとは……)。
また、セットリストも美味しい。約1時間の短縮サイズはフルセットとはほど遠いわけですが、それでも他国ではやらなかった「Love of My Life」や日本ならではの「Teo Torriatte」もしっかり収録。わざわざ日本でのみ演奏した曲を外さなかったところにも、日本を特別に感じていた彼らの想いが透けるようです。実のところ、現場では「Teo Torriatte」の中盤にミスがあったのですが、本作ではオフィシャルが編集でリペア。自然な仕上がりになっています。こうした曲では、女声ファンをメインとした大合唱が沸き起こるのですが、その日本ならではの歌声がなんとも感動的です。その「Teo Torriatte」を始め、「Flash’s Theme/The Hero」や「Put Out The Fire」「Save Me」といった曲は、この日がフレディにとってのラスト・パフォーマンスでもある。初のライヴ作品にして最後のメロディが胸に迫る曲たちなのです。

常に日本を特別に想っていたQUEEN。残念ながら本調子とはいかないものの、それでも初めてのライヴ作品に日本を選び、不調を気迫で押し返す熱演を見せてくれた。そんな彼らの姿を、彼らが愛した日本人の歌声をオフィシャルが刻んだ記念碑です。世界のマニアが羨んだ映像作品。その史上最高峰クオリティ盤。今週末、今なおQUEENを愛し続けるあなたのお手元へ。

QUEEN chose the place of the first live work “November 3, 1982: Seibu baseball staging performance”. This press DVD is a decision board that reprints official images through which their thoughts pass through at the highest quality ever. However, although the quality was ultimate, it was an excerpt of the show chosen by the official side. Therefore, we prepared a full collection audience album packed in vacuum with the truth of the on-site concert seated from the audience seat.
Such a work was released once as press 2CD “SPACE BOOGIE”, and it revived the record which became the sold out waste with the latest remaster. Directly digitized from the cassette directly received from the recordingist himself, it is completely original recording. Of course, since it is full recording, it is also complete “We Will Rock You (fast)” “Action This Day” “Calling All Girls, Get Down” “Body Language” “Fat Bottomed Girls” “Another One Bites The Dust” It is recording.
As you can see from press & sold out, this work is a popular name recording. The secret of its popularity lies beyond the splendor of unrecorded songs and sounds. It is terribly realistic realism. I was picking up a lot of conversation at the audience seats and it seems as if they were present at the very place. Of course, the main part of the recording is a performance, so the content of the conversation is not worrisome while playing, but the conversation between the songs is very straightforward and the feelings of those days come back. For a moment, there is only “(dissolution)” There is no communication bad “” No more no wonder the outdoors of November, it will never come even if it is cold! Whatever comes up will not come! “” It is also cold Rosai “” I am hungry “and so on. In “Body Language”, I will talk with each other somewhat (I will repeat, but I’m talking about the conversation being played) but it is a big pleasure to have a conversation disappearing in the final rush of the representative song. In exchange, I hear voices of big chorus and crazy. For the last “We Are The Champions” and “God Save The Queen” are “@% & ¥: *;` ‘”$ +? It is! It is a great crazy aside from writing it. What kind of direct response it is (laugh). It is no longer heard only in Hiragana, “Yeah!” “Ankouru! Ansho!” Was also a time of being wild in Western music boom.
Meanwhile, “Teo Torriatte” stands out that documentary feeling stands out. Although it changes to English → Japanese in rust, Brian plays a code of A melody even though Roger is putting a texture of okazu at that point, and song progression is great confusion. Freddie Freddie is sneaking “Ah” and a suitable melody to cover the spot. The audience switches to Japanese properly and sings, but also suddenly a big mistake burst into laughter. I can listen to the voice of “that ??? (laugh)” firmly. After that, regaining progress and rising with rust in Japanese, the singing voice of the audience singing it seems fun to be somewhat fun. It seems that you can see the smiling smile of QUEEN who has done it, not smile or sneering. Although I mentioned in the commentary on the main press DVD, in fact it is edited in this scene, the official video, and it has become as if I had never made a mistake. That is full of beauty as a work with it, but on the other hand the feelings of the audience who warmly enjoy the warm moment of mistake are not transmitted. If ordinary, this song is valuable valuable exception although it is something that you would like to say “sorry about you” just by disturbing the audience singing voice and conversation. It would be fun if the audience responded, I’m happy and I can be moved.
Finally “This burned out!” “This clip that ends with a conversation such as” I applaud it’s amazing (everyone gets stopped) (laugh) “. It is a document / album that can inhale the air like the autumn festival as much as the chest, as well as those who brought legs to the venue, as well as those who do not. I wanted to talk to himself “QUEEN, was not it fun?” Queen who was happy and our warm record. Please enjoy with the beautiful image of the official.
QUEENが最初のライヴ作品の地に選んだ「1982年11月3日:西武球場公演」。本編プレスDVDは、その想いが透けるオフィシャル映像を史上最高峰クオリティで復刻した決定盤です。しかし、クオリティは究極的ではあっても、公式サイドが選んだショウの抜粋でした。そこで、ボーナスには現場コンサートの真実を客席視点で真空パックしたフル収録のオーディエンス・アルバムを用意いたしました。
そんな本作は、かつてプレス2CD『SPACE BOOGIE』としてリリースされ、完売廃盤となった録音を最新リマスターで蘇らせたもの。録音家本人から直接譲り受けたカセットからダイレクトにデジタル化した、完全オリジナル録音です。もちろん、フル録音ですから公式では見られない「We Will Rock You (fast) 」「Action This Day」「Calling All Girls、Get Down」「Body Language」「Fat Bottomed Girls」「Another One Bites The Dust」も完全収録しています。
プレス化&完売ということからも分かる通り、本作は大人気を博した名録音。その人気の秘密は、公式未収録の曲やサウンドの素晴らしささえも超えたところにある。それは、恐ろしくリアルな臨場感です。客席の会話もたっぷり拾っていて、まさにその場に居合わせているかのよう。もちろん、あくまで録音のメインは演奏なので、演奏中には会話の内容は気になりませんが、曲間の会話はとても素直で、当時の気持ちが蘇ってくる。ちょっと挙げると「(解散)しかないんじゃない? コミュニケーション悪いしさ」「もういやだ。11月の野外なんて絶対来ない。寒くって! 何があっても来ない!」「やってる方も寒いんだろうねえ」「腹減っちゃって」などなど。「Body Language」では、曲そっちのけで話し込んだりもする(繰り返しますが、演奏中の会話は話してるかな?程度です)のですが、終盤の代表曲ラッシュでは会話もなくなって大喜び。代わって大合唱や狂喜の声が聞こえる。ラストの「We Are The Champions」「God Save The Queen」に至っては「@%&¥:*;`’”$+?!」とでも書くしかない大狂喜です。なんという素直な反応なんでしょうか(笑)。もはや平仮名にしか聞こえない「いぇー!」「あんこーる!あんこーる!」も、洋楽ブームに沸いていた時代、丸出しです。
そんな中、ドキュメンタリー感がひときわ際立つのが「Teo Torriatte」。サビでは英語→日本語に替わるわけですが、そのポイントでロジャーがキメのオカズを入れているにも関わらず、ブライアンがAメロのコードを弾きだしてしまい、曲進行が大混乱。慌てるフレディが「アー」と適当なメロディを歌ってその場を取り繕う始末です。観客は正確に日本語に切り替えて歌い出すも、突然の大ミスに爆笑。「あれ?あれ?(笑)」の声もしっかり聴けます。その後、進行を取り戻して日本語のサビで盛り上がるのですが、それを歌う観客の歌声は、なんだか楽しそう。やらかしてしまったQUEENに対して苦笑や冷笑ではなく、親しみたっぷりに微笑んでいる顔が見えるようです。本編プレスDVDの解説でも触れましたが、実はこのシーン、オフィシャル映像では編集され、まるでミスなどなかったかのようになっています。それはそれで作品としての美しさを湛えているのですが、その一方で大ボケのミスも暖かく楽しむ観客の気持ちが伝わってこない。普通であれば、観客の歌声や会話は邪魔になるだけで「お前ら黙れよ」と言いたくなるものですが、本作は貴重な貴重な例外。観客たちの反応があればこそ楽しいし、嬉しいし、感動できるのです。
最後に「燃え尽きたーっ!」「拍手すごいのに(客電が)付いた途端にみんなパッと止めるね(笑)」といった会話と共に終わる本作。会場まで脚を運ばれた方はもちろん、そうでない方でも、まるで秋祭りのような空気を胸いっぱいに吸い込めるドキュメント・アルバムです。思わず「QUEEN、楽しかったよね」と話しかけたくなる1本。幸せだったQUEENと私たちの暖かい記録。どうぞ、オフィシャルの美映像と共に、存分にお楽しみください。
