MARTY FRIEDMAN Appears On Japan's 'J-Melo Awards'

February 6, 2009

Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman made an appearance last week on the NHK World broadcast of the 2008 "J-Melo Awards".

"J-Melo Awards" recognize and celebrate Japanese artists based entirely on requests from fans all over the world.

Rebroadcast dates and times vary depending on what country you are in, so if you have access to NHK World, be sure to check your local listings.

Shooting wrapped up this week for Marty's special NHK program "Paphoo!" in which Marty took a band of Osaka high school girls on location into Los Angeles' most prestigious studio, The Village Recorder (THE ROLLING STONES, BOB DYLAN) and produced their original song. It will be broadcast in March.

After that was completed, Marty was back in Japan to give a lecture at Sapporo's Academy of Fine Arts.

In related news, due to popular demand, Marty's "The Power of Presidential Speeches" was rebroadcast on NHK in Japan.
