  2. Amazon Japan only: "mega jacket" releases

    "Profiteering" means jacking up prices on essential items unethically, especially in times of crisis, like what is happening with hand sanitizer and masks in some parts of the world during the COVID-19 crisis. Profite...

  3. Amazon Japan only: "mega jacket" releases

    I don't think "profiteering" is the word you're looking for. But are Amazon/Queen looking to profit? Sure. But they will only profit if the consumer decides they want this product at this price, which is basically abo...

  4. Amazon Japan only: "mega jacket" releases

    Here's an example of a deka/mega-jacket from another artist: http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EE0s-tvU4AA8d8m.jpg If you're wondering why people would buy this, I think anyone who has held a vinyl album in their hands and a...

  5. Amazon Japan only: "mega jacket" releases

    If you want to give Queen and Amazon more of your money, Amazon Japan will be releasing Queen SHM-CDs, Blu-rays, and DVDs in an exclusive "mega jacket" packaging. The "mega jacket" (usually called "deka jacket".. not...

  6. Garden Lodge story from Greatest Hits in Japan

    Thanks everyone. This story from the liner notes is actually an excerpt from a larger piece from the official book "Queen in Japan" which was released at the same as Greatest Hits in Japan back in January. I was criti...

  7. Garden Lodge story from Greatest Hits in Japan

    I translated a story about Garden Lodge's Japanese garden that was in the liner notes for Greatest Hits in Japan: Garden Lodge, the mansion that Freddie called home in London, was built in the early 1900s for artist C...

  9. Out Of This World: Brian May's Journey Into Space CD

    February 7th came and went, but this disc was pulled from various Amazon sites, unavailable for pre-order. It's available again now, with a February 28th release, but still no cover image.

  12. May - Descending Further Into The Abyss

    It's a fox mask, not a cat mask. They can be decorative, but yes, they can also be worn. Fox masks are not uncommon in Japan, and for a Japanese audience, it wouldn't look weird to see Brian wearing it as a nod to the...

  13. Out Of This World: Brian May's Journey Into Space CD

    Oh wow, that's a lot. A few thoughts.. - it's listed as a one disc release everywhere else at this point, so this information is new - Tower Records has this filed under the composer Brian May (RIP), but with New Hori...

  14. Out Of This World: Brian May's Journey Into Space CD

    Okay, a bit more information trickling in. On at least three sites selling the CD (including Amazon Japan and importcds), there's the following product description: "2020 release. Random cover Includes 104 page photob...

  15. Out Of This World: Brian May's Journey Into Space CD

    Here's someone doing Also Sprach Zarathustra (the 2001 theme) on the Red Special: http://youtu.be/dvwZIBLLrCc?t=12 I'm picturing something like this for The Planets (this one is for Mars): http://youtu.be/BHANdi0IbPY?...

  16. Out Of This World: Brian May's Journey Into Space CD

    I think I may have found a clue about this album, which is supposedly out in a couple of weeks. On this Barnes and Noble product listing page for the CD, if you scroll down and click on "Album Credits" you will find "...

  18. Question on Greatest Video Hits

    It wasn't just Innuendo, but all of the videos from the Innuendo album that weren't included (Headlong, Days, Mad, The Show). My guess is that they were saving the videos from that era for an eventual Greatest Video H...

  19. Queen Greatest Hits Japan 2020

  20. Queen Greatest Hits Japan 2020

    On Amazon.co.jp, the CD+DVD+calendar combo for Greatest Hits Japan is the #1 seller for the Music>Rock category. The combo without the calendar is #4, and the CD+calendar combo is #11, so it seems to be selling well....
