Description

[Machine Translation] Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, voted the most important song of the millennium by the British, was also the subject of a blockbuster movie in 2018, and its nearly six-minute length, innovative multiple recordings, and then-unusual promotional video are just a few of its unique aspects. The list is endless. The song's most distinctive feature, however, is its mysterious lyrics. It is far more enigmatic than, for example, "Imagine" or "Hey Jude," both of which are also world-famous songs. What kind of cry or prayer did Freddie put into this "strange song"? Or does it have no meaning at all? A film researcher who is a fan of Western music researched a vast amount of literature and embarked on an adventure to explore the mysteries left behind by Freddie.

Description in Japanese

「ボヘミアン・ラプソディ」の謎を解く “カミングアウト・ソング”説の真相 (光文社新書) / 菅原裕子/著

イギリス人が選ぶ「1000年で最も重要な曲」第1位、Queenの「ボヘミアン・ラプソディ」。2018年には同楽曲をタイトルに冠した映画も大ヒットとなった。6分近くある曲の長さや革新的な多重録音、当時珍しかったプロモーションビデオなど、そのユニークさをあげるとキリがない。ただ、この曲最大の特徴は不可思議な歌詞だろう。例えば同じく世界的な曲である「イマジン」や「ヘイ・ジュード」と比べても、圧倒的に謎めいている。この“異形の曲”にフレディはどのような叫び、祈りを込めたのか。あるいは意味なんて何もないのか―?洋楽ファンの映画研究者が膨大な文献をリサーチし、フレディの残した謎をめぐる冒険の旅に出る。
