News update, more TV, magazines, DVD and PS2
Marty`s fans will not want to miss a special episode of `Hebimetasan` this Tuesday night(8/23) when one of Marty`s idols, Japanese living legend Yashiro Aki joins him for a performance and more. For those of you outside of Japan who don`t know who Yashiro Aki is, she is a singer of `Enka` music, and Marty was very influenced by her voice in his formative years as a guitarist. Some of the `exotic` sound in Marty`s playing can be traced to her vocal style.

Also, Marty will make an appearance on Nippon Television`s ?gMina no Terebi?h which is Japan`s equivalent to England`s ?gTop Of The Pops?h. This nationwide broadcast will air at 8PM this Wednesday night(8/24).
There is a full color spread on Marty in the September issue of `Ongaku to Hito`, as well as `Young Animal`, `Young Jump`, `Telepal` (Japan`s TV guide) and `Continue`, `Fool`s Mate`(with current live shots with Kirito), `DMS` and many more to come. Also an interview and contest to meet Marty will be in the next `Pia` magazine (Japan`s equivalent to `People` magazine).
More info in the Japanese section of this site.
Marty and Aikawa Nanase have a song in the upcoming Sony Playstation 2 game ?gHeavy Metal Thunder?h. (release date 9/1) The song is called ?gLove Terrorist?h and marks the first songwriting collaboration between the two. The game and the hype revolving around it is a big part of the current heavy metal boom in Japan. The elaborate game is about 2 years in the making and will doubtlessly be the representative of Rock/Metal in the gaming world. The soundtrack CD which includes ?gLove Terrorist?h as well as contributions by Sex Machine Guns, Michael Schenker, Rolly and more will be released by Toshiba EMI in September.
Marty is currently on tour with Kirito, in between touring dates he is in the studio continuing recording tracks for his next solo album. The 2nd Tokyo show (8/28) will be filmed for a live DVD.
In other DVD news, ?gThe Essential Marty Friedman?h which was originally released only on VHS will be available on DVD this fall.
