Two days earlier, more than a thousand fans had flooded Haneda Airport to greet them — a welcome the band never forgot. I was inside the Nippon Budokan that night, and this bag was bought in the hall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI was only a primary-school kid, and most of the show itself has faded from memory. What I do remember is the era: glossy vinyl bags like this one were everywhere in Japan in the mid-'70s, and this was the one you carried home from Queen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor fifty years it lay forgotten at my family home. When I found it again, it was dusty and worn by time. I washed it gently by hand with mild detergent, and the print came back clean. This is not a tired relic — it is still a usable bag, and it displays beautifully. Now I'd like it to go to someone who knows what that night meant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack vinyl (PVC) bag, white screen-printed live photo with \"Queen On Tour\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 35 × 43 cm (W × H, open)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBought inside the Nippon Budokan, Tokyo, April 19, 1975 — first owner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint clean overall; slight fading to the lower edge of the word \"Tour\" (see close-up)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFold crease across the middle and some waviness in the vinyl, consistent with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe vinyl has the faint natural tackiness typical of 1970s PVC — not residue or grime, just the material itself.
