Marty Friedman lands daily column in Tokyo Sport

Thanks to  martyfriedman.com for the following article:
Starting in June, Marty will have his own daily column in Tokyo Sport (“To-Spo”). The column will feature his outlook on his music, TV, and experiences in Japan as well as around the world. Tokyo Sport is the highest circulated sports/entertainment newspaper in Japan.

In other related news, The Yomiuri Shimbun will be doing a full feature on Marty in July. If we can get a translation of this, we will try our best to get it on the site.

The TV show, `hebimetasan` which features Marty each week as a regular is a smash hit! The premise of the high energy show is to introduce, explain and have fun with (as well as make fun of) heavy metal/hard rock music to the mainstream, for people who would otherwise have no contact with the genre, such as the show`s host, idol/model Yoko Kumada. (think discussing the merits of the likes of Velvet Revolver, Soilwork and Andrew W.K. to Cindy Crawford or Anna Kournikova) Each week in Marty`s `Metal Spirit in Japan` Marty exposes the unlikely links between Japanese folk music and heavy metal hits. The overwhelming response to the show has put Marty and Japan`s top television production company into talks of an exclusive contract. More news here as it develops.
