Ex-MEGADETH guitarist MARTY FRIEDMAN's new album, Tokyo Jukebox 2, will be released on September 14th via Avex in Japan.

An update from Marty: "Here's the tracklist, friends! Also about the cover shot - it was NOT photoshopped - I had to put that kabuki makeup on again!! Made me really appreciate what KISS did thousands of times, a MAJOR pain in the ass!! Serious props to all the people who made it work, it was quite a task matching the TJ1 cover."

Tokyo Jukebox 2 picks up where 2009's Tokyo Jukebox left off, with even more adventurous arrangements of Friedman's favorite Japanese songs. Recorded at The Village Recorder in L.A., the album features Jason Bittner (SHADOWS FALL) on drums.

Tokyo Jukebox 2 stretches the boundaries of guitar interpretation beyond anything Marty has released to date.
