サイモンから、Ac.Queenのお客様宛のメッセージが届きました。翻訳は後日アップしますが、取り急ぎメッセージをそのまま掲載します。

To play these shows in Japan was for me, a total joy !

I was, along with Yohei, UK & Gaku were blown away with the warmth & support we received from Japanese Queen fans.

I know how special the music of Queen is to Japan.... & to get such a great reaction from the Japanese public was a great thrill to me....

So to the Japanese people, I say a HUGE THANK-YOU !!

& to the other members of AC Queen, YOU ARE AWESOME !!!
LET'S DO IT AGAIN !!!! SOON !!!

Cheers, Simon Croft

6月17日・18日のAc.Queenライブへのご来場、ありがとうございました。この週末はあいにく天気にも恵まれず、また18日はワールドカップの日本・クロアチア戦も開催されるという状況の中、またAc.Queen初のライブであったにも関わらず、多くの皆様にご来場頂きメンバー・スタッフ一同感謝致します。既にこのブログやAnnanのブログにもご感想を頂いておりますが、好評のうちに終わる事ができ、ほっとしています。また来年早々ぐらいまでには、Ac.Queenとしての次の活動もできそうな感じになりそうです。ご期待下さい。来週末はKUROSAWA ROCK FESTIVALです。23日にはサイモンが、24日にはKWEENが出演します。こちらもお楽しみに!

Thank you very much for coming to Ac.Queen live on 17 and 18 June. Despite the bad weather and despite the situation in which Japan - Croatia soccer game is scheduled on 18, many people came and enjoyed the gig. On behalf of Ac.Queen member and staffs, I would like to thank you all for supporting us. Already, we have started receiving impression from the audience here at this blog and ANNAN blog etc. Most of them are favourable response and we are delighted about it. It seems like Ac.Queen will not be the band for this "single event". Ac.Queen's next activities are likely to happen by very early next year. Please look forward to it. KUROSAWA ROCK FESTIVAL will be on 23 and 24 June. On 23, Simon will do the demo performance of Brian May guitars and on 24, Kween will do an hour show. BE THERE and enjoy!
