Hi, Marty. Thanks for the great music. Love the Megadeth stuff, and now you've really got me hooked on Aikawa Nanase. I've now been hooked on all things Japanese for the past six months! I read that you are self taught...how long did you study? Learning the language seems like such a difficult task, with the hiragana and katakana. I'm taking it slow, learning what I can and when I can. Do you have any advice or words of encouragement for the Japanese novice? Thanks, and have a great tour with Nanase, I'd give anything to jam on stage with her and the band! Ai No Uta is amazing.

My tip is get thru hiragana and katakana as quick as you can and get into Kanji asap! That is where the challenge and the fun is. Read, write and speak as much as you possibly can.
I'm looking forward to the Aikawa tour too~tons of new songs!!
