It was my birthday when Queen + Paul Rodgers Japan Tour was announced. It was like a big birthday present for me. I finally got an oppotunity to meet Jamie again after long seven years of our first encounter. The band arrived in Japan on 24th October, and the first show was on the 26th in Saitama (near to Tokyo). But I had to work that week so that I saw him again on the 29th in Yokohama. Jamie kindly gave me and my friends aftershow passes for Yokohama 2 days, Nagoya and Fukuoka. So we could see him and the band almost everyday while they were in Japan. I was very happy with that I could see them so many times. Especially, I was so thrilled with the first moment I met Jamie again in Yokohama, because I waited for the moment impatiently for seven years! The show was extremely great. I did have fun 200%, not only the Queen songs but also Paul's songs. I loved the guitar solo in 'Can't Get Enough' very much. Jamie played it so happily with Brian and it made me very happy, too. Jamie was so sweet, he wore my gift Japanese patterned bandanna at the show in Nagoya. The band left Japan early in the morning on 4th November. I saw off them with my friends at the hotel in Fukuoka. It was a lot of fun to travel from Yokohama to Fukuoka with my friends, with following the band. And it's very sad that both Queen + PR Japan tour and our happy crazy dream tour were all over, and I have to go back to my boring life. I should have a hope to see Jamie sometime again to carry on.
