Minako Honda 本田美奈子. - The Cross (with Brian May 1986)

In a remote broadcast from London during the Fall of 1986, Minako Honda and Brian May are interviewed about her visit to that city. The interview conducted by Hiroshi Sekiguchi and Yu Hayami (who did the interpretation), is followed by Minako singing "The Cross (Cross of Love)" composed by Gary Moore. It is one of Honda Minako's most beautiful performances of the song. The recording was released on September 3, 1986.

RIP to a wonderful soul and brilliant artist. This footage of Hondo with May is so heartwarming, it’s so cool to know that her and Queen were good friends!

美奈子ちゃんは勿論素晴らしい❤
ゆうちゃんの悠長な英語もまた素晴らしい🎉

ブライアン・メイとインタビューしてるのに歌うのがゲイリー・ムーアのThe cross～愛の十字架～っていう何かチグハグな映像だけど、懐かしいですなぁ。ありがとうございます。

[@bigmanmountain6058]

この時期はクイーンにとってフレディが参加した最後のライブを終えて少し経った頃かな
ブライアンは多分この頃フレディの病状知らなかったから日本に来る予定があるかって質問ににこやかに答えている様子だけど、フレディ自身はこの頃もう病が体を蝕んでたんだろうなぁ
そんでもってクイーンファンとしてはこの動画にたどり着いて本田美奈子という人物を知れたのはかなりの収穫

[@みーちゃん-s8v]

この頃の本田美奈子さんとブライアンメイさんの髪型がそっくりですね。美奈子さんも今生きていたらどんな歌手になっていたのかな？ただただ悔やまれます。

It reminds me of his song "Sail Away Sweet Sister". RIP little Minako.

OMG Brian May is soooooo cute😢😭

[@vneo42]

Cool footage, I never knew about this collaboration! Brian May is so polite and well-spoken, an English Gentleman.

[@metallica-fan]

1:57 “Brian, any plans on coming to Japan?” 🥲
Brian says he hopes so, but sadly, The Magic Tour in 1986 would be the last time Queen toured with the four boys. Fred, Bri, Rog and John. The last time they visited Japan was back in 1985, 10 years after they visited the country for the first time during the band’s Sheer Heart Attack Tour in 1975.

[@menmentantan5591]

ブライアンメイさんって　回顧録とか描いたらすごいだろうね。
この人って実は家柄も頭も良くて、アーチスト活動と並行して、天文学を勉強していて、10年くらい前に博士号取っているよね。最終的には（英国の貴族階級の理想：　営利を追求しないで文化活動に寄与）を実現しているところが凄いですね。
フレデイーとかメチャクチャで破滅的な天才と波長が同期できたのも、懐の深さなんだろうね。
