ex-MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman to speak and perform at Japan Heritage Symposium Feb 13th
looks like former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman is quite the celebrity in Japan … he was named Japan Heritage ambassador in 2016 and is now set to speak and perform at the Japan Heritage Symposium on Monday, February 13.
marty posted on facebook : “It’s a great honor to be an Ambassador of Japan Heritage. Occasionally I will be requested to speak or perform at events related to Japan Heritage. I’ll be doing both of those things at the Japan Heritage Symposium on Feb. 13.
“The date, ‘February 13’, if you translate it to numeric Japanese, would be ni (2) I (1) san (3). This becomes a play on words as ‘ni’ is short for ‘Nihon’ which is the Japanese word for Japan and ‘isan’ which is the Japanese word for heritage, hence the Japan Heritage event taking place on that day each year.
“Of all the places I get to play guitar, this has got to be the farthest from what I envisioned as a little kid!”
Marty’s latest album, “Tokyo Jukebox 3”, came out in April 2021
