Bohemian Rhapsody feat. Matsumoto Reiji

Synopsis

In 2009 the legendary British rock band Queen collaborated with Matsumoto Leiji on the production of their first video using Japanese animation. The video combines Queen's signature song Bohemian Rhapsody with concepts from Out of Galaxy Koshika , a manga from Matsumoto and Sunsoft which started distribution through Nintendo Wii's Shopping Channel on April 14, 2009. The manga's story begins in Tokyo on September 9, 2099. A dimensional ship, under the command of a beautiful woman named Haguro You , launches into space to save Earth from imminent annihilation. A young boy named Umino Hajime finds himself coming aboard for the adventure that unfolds. Secrets are revealed about Hajime and a silver cat pendant with an unknown power. Part of the video was unveiled on 24 November, 2009 — the 18th anniversary of former Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury's passing — in special events in Tokyo and Osaka. The full video became available on Japanese mobile phone distribution sites on December 23.
