Here's an unknown Japanese combo doing a medley of Queen's greatest hits. I did my best to edit this together from the video snippets that appeared on this page, but there are inexplicable gaps and abrupt transitions. No matter: there are far too many syllables in the Japanese translations of Bohemian Rhapsody and Bicycle Race, and that's what really counts: download MP3
Chances are this is "JOOUSAMA" (lit. "Queen"). This guy was releasing "direct translation covers" of Queen tracks around 1995 and did most of their popular catalog. Being a direct translation, this is meant to be tacky and ironic, and succeeds pretty well.

And just in case people haven't seen it enough, Kween on YouTube. This one isn't meant to be tacky and ironic. I think.
