Los Angeles Town

Legendary guitarist Marty Friedman has been an inspirational figure to musicians since his 10 year tenure as lead guitarist in the heavy metal group Megadeth, but Friedman's accomplishments do not end there. He has lived in Japan since 2003 and speaks fluent Japanese, which he learned mostly through self-study. In Japan, alongside his musical career, Friedman also has hosted and appeared in hundreds of Japanese television programs, ranging from music, variety, comedy, politics, education and even to cooking.

 

Marty Friedman's mastery of the Japanese language has unlocked many opportunities for him in his professional career and has inspired students of Japanese all over the world. On January 26th, 2015, we will have the rare opportunity to hear Marty Friedman discuss his relationship with Japan, how mastering a foreign language can lead to new opportunities that would otherwise not exist, and answer any and all questions you may have about the mysteries of actually living and thriving in a country so different from your own anywhere else in the world.
