October 12, 2007, 16 years ago
MARTY FRIEDMAN's (ex-MEGADETH) website has issued the following update:
"For the second consecutive year, The Japan Iron and Steel Federation is featuring Marty in it's annual ad campaign. Starting October 15th, life size billboards will be up in 21 subway and train stations throughout the entire Tokyo area.'As previously reported, "Marty will appear on Beat Takeshi's hit prime time TV show Daredemo Picasso on Friday night October 19 at 10PM on TV Tokyo. This episode celebrates the 35 year career of Ishikawa Sayuri, and will have Marty on the panel of guests and also even feature Marty performing his own arrangement of one of her songs with the legendary Japanese singer in person. Marty was influenced by her music considerably, so if you are a fan of either, the show is not to be missed.
In other TV news, due to overwhelming demand, Marty's three month NHK TV series Jukebox Eikaiwa is being rebroadcast in reruns from the beginning of October through January every Monday night at 11:40 on NHK."
