Ginza Sony Park is holding its 13th experimental program, #013 QUEEN IN THE PARK:
Experience Music with Queen, starting from January 22, 2020 (Wed). The program is timed tocoincide with a Japanese tour by Queen, the legendary rock band which has thrilled generationsof fans with its innovative sounds.

During the #013 QUEEN IN THE PARK: Experience Music with Queen program, the whole park will
be filled with 'playful' experiential exhibits themed around world-famous and much-loved Queenclassics such as 'We Will Rock You,' 'We are the Champions' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody.'
The program offers a variety of activities that go beyond just listening to songs. Visitors will beable to immerse themselves fully in the world of Queen's music through a wide range ofexperiences including one that allows them to feel like members of the band and anotherfeaturing the 'Fragment Shadow' multi-projection system that lets them overlap their shadowswith the members' silhouettes in 3D format.
The Bohemian Rhapsody - Sound VR exhibit uses Sonic Surf VR, a spatial audio technology thatuses proprietary sound field synthesis algorithms developed by Sony to place sound anywhere ina given space. The sounds move, slip away and resonate differently based on where listeners
stand, creating a new and exciting acoustic experience. The event also has original speakerarrangements that have never been tried before.
Furthermore, the park is filled with 'QUEEN IN THE PARK Objet' artwork, specially-made neonsigns and other features designed to create a stimulating atmosphere where visitors canexperience Queen's music to their hearts' content.
Through this program, both long-time fans of Queen and new listeners will be able to experience
the thrills and surprises offered by a new musical experience that allows visitors to go from merely
listening to sounds to actually living in the music.

■Comments from Queen members ahead of the program's launchComment from Brian May, guitarist
Japan has a special place in our hearts for having helped Queen rise to popularity. I was surprised
to hear that they had created park in the middle of Ginza, which is such a symbolic city inJapan—even more that it had been dedicated to our band. This fusion of entertainment andtechnology at Ginza Sony Park is sure to be full of fun and a new kind of musical experience for all
the visitors—including us. It may even lead to uncovering new aspects of our music. We, too, arelooking forward to having fun at QUEEN IN THE PARK and immersing ourselves in the music.

Comment from Roger Taylor, drummer
As Brian said, this sort of program is a first for us. I don’t think anyone other than Ginza Sony Park
could have made this possible, considering their successes in creating many exciting programs inthe past. I hope the experience of ‘not just listening’ to music at this Queen-themed park will
provide an opportunity for many people to enjoy our songs.
