Maybe the first question is less important than the second one. The randomness of it really does make it seem like a cash grab or a ploy for publicity. She just had a milestone anniversary and I would have loved to see this story, since she clearly wants to tell it, in the light of a broader retrospective on her earlier career.
Bohemian Rhapsody was a huge hit in Japan - I think it was 13 weeks in top 5 chart. I agree that the book wasn't as hyped, but maybe this is just testing the waters.

They are probably banking on the TV adaptation.
