We Are the Champions: Final Live in Japan is a live concert video of English rock band Queen's performance at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, Tokyo on 11 May 1985 as part of the Japanese leg of The Works Tour.[1]

The film's title is inaccurate, as Queen actually performed two more shows in Japan (in Nagoya on 13 May, and in Osaka on the 15th). However, this was the band's final show in Tokyo. The 90-minute film is not the full concert, leaving out Brian May's guitar solo, the Brighton Rock finale and Dragon Attack. The video is also edited for time by cutting away setup waits between songs.

Only officially released in Japan, it first appeared as a video release in 1992, then as a laserdisc and VHS release, before a DVD release in 2004 with new artwork. It was also re-released on Blu-ray in 2018. The video mix has the guitar track lowered in volume, with the synth playing at a louder volume.
