In between Marty's solo activities and TV and radio responsibilities in Japan, he is also making news in Asia outside of Japan collaborating with one of Asia's brightest superstars, A-MEI.
A-Mei and Marty made national breaking news in Taiwan with their performances at the Taipei Arena.
The news clip below was filmed at the beginning of the concert and was broadcast while the nearly four-hour long show was still in progress. Marty appears towards the middle of the clip.
Both March 19th and March 20th shows were sold out months in advance and were both filmed for a live DVD for release later this year."
