Marty returns to Japan after S.A. workshop and mini-live tour
After a very successful trip all over South America, Marty is on his way back to Japan to resume his touring with Aikawa Nanase and Sera Masanori.
All events were completely sold out and after the performances Marty made every effort to take pictures with and sign autographs for the thousands of fans who attended.
In many of these events, Marty invited the top guitarists of the various countries to get up on stage and jam with him.
"I was way impressed by the level of players down there.", says Marty. "First of all to have the balls, or 'cajones' I should say, to come up and jam with me in front of so many people. But on top of that, their playing was really fabulous. You will be hearing more from South American guitarists, trust me."
A big thanks goes out to Ibanez Guitars for making it happen. Plenty of new pix from the tour to be up on the site soon. If you have any, send them in!!
In other news, Marty will appear on the nationwide broadcast of "Music Fair" in Japan. This popular program is also available on many satellite systems around the world. Marty will tape his segment on 11/11, and the broadcast date will be November 22 at 6:30 on Fuji TV. This is Marty's first ever appearance on "Music Fair" so see it if you can!!
Also-Marty's 10/19 show with Aikawa Nanase is at an Osaka all girls college. It is a limited capacity show of 2,500 and only students of this college can attend. As Marty would say, "hmm..."

Those of you in Japan, do not forget to look out for Aikawa Nanase's upcoming single, "Ai no Uta" coming out this winter. This is probably the hardest rocking track in her collection, it's no coincidence that Marty laid down walls of guitars for this tune. Marty and Nanase will appear on NHK's "POP JAM" playing this song live this winter. Marty got to meet his idol, "Tsunku" during the taping of this show!!
