is a song by Queen from their 1976 album ''A Day at the Races''. Written by guitarist Brian May, it is the closing track on the album. The song is notable for having two choruses sung entirely in Japanese, and it was released as a single exclusively in Japan, reaching #49 on the charts.〔(A Day at the Races album info )〕 (The B-side was "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy".) This song features a plastic piano and harmonium, both which are played by May. They brought in a local choir to sing the chorus at the end. On the album, the song is concluded by a one-minute instrumental intro featuring a Shepard tone melody, which is actually a reprise of the beginning of "Tie Your Mother Down": this was intended to create a "circle" in the album, typical, for example, of Pink Floyd's albums. It was performed live in Tokyo during the Jazz tour in 1979 and again when the band visited Japan during The Game and Hot Space tours in 1981 and 1982 respectively. "Teo Torriatte" was covered by Japanese singer Kokia on her 2008 Christmas album ''Christmas Gift'', and by Mêlée in 2010 and can be found on the Japanese version of their album ''The Masquerade'' released in Japan on 18 August 2010. Andre Matos (former Angra singer) covered the song on the Japanese Edition of his 2010 effort ''Mentalize''. Queen's version is also one of 38 songs included on the benefit album, ''Songs for Japan'' (compiled in response to the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Tōhoku), released on 25 March 2011. ==References to the song== *Japanese video game director Yasumi Matsuno is a fan of Queen, and named the classic strategy game ''Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together'' as a tribute to this song.〔http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-01-18-tactics-ogre-let-us-cling-together-hands-on〕 *"Teo Torriatte" was later referenced by Queen in a line ("we'll sing to you in Japanese") from the song "Let Me Entertain You", featured on their 1978 album ''Jazz''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
