Former MEGADETH guitarist MARTY FRIEDMAN has posted the following brief update:

"Wait 'til you guys hear it! I wrote the theme song to the new Kamen Rider movie, and performed it with none other than Ayanocozey (the "A" in the FANTA band). I`m super happy with the song, and on top of that, for the B-side of the single I recorded an instrumental version, basically just playing my ass off... kinda like TJ2."

Friedman previously stated about the recording: "It was a rare time when I actually worked out the entire solo - little did I know that the movie people would have me change the whole song's key three times by the time we did the actual tracking. That made the already unorthodox solo even stranger, thankfully, and just by luck, in a very good way. I am stoked!

One thing I have learned over time is that ALWAYS when you do additional work to accommodate the "big picture", that seems unnecessary at the time, your music comes out better for it. ALWAYS. You heard it here first, friends!"
