MDN: Statue of late Queen vocalist Freddy Mercury erected in Shinjuku
A statue of Freddy Mercury, the late lead singer of the English rock group Queen, has been placed in a theater in Tokyo's Shinjuku-ku. The statue, which stands 3 meters high, was placed in the Shinjuku Koma Theater in Shinjuku-ku's Kabukicho entertainment district by the Kabukicho Renaissance promotion council on Sunday. The council is working to improve Kabukicho's image. Shinjuku-ku officials have praised the musical, saying the image of a stirring song is perfect as momentum is gained in the crackdown on adult entertainment stores in the district.
