Risk is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Megadeth, released on August 31, 1999 by Capitol Records, the band's last album to be released by the label. The first Megadeth album since 1990 to feature a lineup change, Risk marks the studio debut of drummer Jimmy DeGrasso with the band, as well as the final appearance of longtime guitarist Marty Friedman, who announced his departure a year later. Meant to be a breakthrough on alternative rock radio, Risk received a mixed response because of the great deviation from the band's traditional sound. The backlash ultimately resulted with the band returning towards a heavier sound with its next album.
Cacophony was an American heavy metal band formed in 1986 by guitarists Marty Friedman and Jason Becker, and signed to Shrapnel Records. They released two studio albums and remained active until 1989, after which both guitarists forged their own solo careers and joined other bands.
Martin Adam "Marty" Friedman is an American guitarist, known for his tenure as the lead guitarist for heavy metal band Megadeth which spanned nearly the full decade of the 1990s. He is also known for playing alongside Jason Becker in Cacophony until 1989, as well as his 13 solo albums and tours. Friedman has resided in Tokyo, Japan since 2003, where he has appeared on over 700 Japanese television programs such as Rock Fujiyama, Hebimeta-san, Kouhaku uta gassen and Jukebox English. He has released albums with several record labels, including Avex Trax, Universal, EMI, Prosthetic and Shrapnel Records.
Jason Eli Becker is an American musician, songwriter and composer. At the age of 16, he became part of the Shrapnel Records-produced duo Cacophony with his friend Marty Friedman. They released the albums Speed Metal Symphony in 1987 and Go Off! in 1988. Cacophony broke up in 1989 and Becker began doing solo work, having released his first album Perpetual Burn in 1988, also through Shrapnel. He later joined David Lee Roth's band and recorded one album with him, A Little Ain't Enough.
Dragon's Kiss is the first studio album by guitarist Marty Friedman, released on August 8, 1988 through Shrapnel Records and Roadrunner Records (Europe).
Scenes is the second studio album by guitarist Marty Friedman, released on November 17, 1992 through Shrapnel Records and Roadrunner Records (Europe). It is a notable stylistic departure from Friedman's first album, Dragon's Kiss (1988), as well as his heavier work with Cacophony and Megadeth, in that it predominantly features mellow, clean-tone playing instead of his usual distortion. The final track, "Triumph", is a remake of "Thunder March" from Dragon's Kiss. The album also features then-Megadeth bandmate Nick Menza on drums.
Introduction is the third studio album by guitarist Marty Friedman, released on November 8, 1994 through Shrapnel Records and Roadrunner Records (Europe), one week after his band Megadeth released Youthanasia. It is also the second album to feature Megadeth bandmate Nick Menza on drums. It was also a family affair, with Nick's father Don Menza playing shakuhachi.
Go Off! is the second and final studio album by heavy metal band Cacophony, released in 1988 through Shrapnel Records. About two years after the album's release, guitarist Jason Becker was diagnosed with ALS, rendering him paralyzed and completely unable to play to this day. Also two years later, guitarist Marty Friedman joined the band Megadeth.
Yutaka Ozaki was a popular Japanese musician. He is ranked at No. 23 in a list of Japan's top 100 musicians by HMV.
Loud, Wild and Heavy is the sophomore release by the United States speed metal band Hawaii.
"Polyrhythm" is a song by Perfume, released as the second single from their second album Game and 10th overall, as well as the first track on their third compilation album Love the World. Appropriately, the song's bridge is polyrhythmic, incorporating 5/8, 6/8 in the vocals, common time (4/4) and 3/2 in the drums. Tokuma Japan Communications originally requested for the bridge of the song to be removed for its atypical nature; a concession was reached by including a radio edit known as the "Extra Short Edit" on the single, which removes the bridge while the vocoded backing vocal on the near-end of the song is half-distorted. The song was used for the Kankyō Recycle Campaign by NHK. The single has 2 editions: a CD only version and CD+DVD version. The only difference between the CD and CD+DVD version is that the CD+DVD version has the music video of Polyrhythm.
Future Addict is the eighth studio album by the American guitarist Marty Friedman. The album is a collection of reworked, reconstructed and completely remade versions of songs spanning Marty's entire career, including a few songs from his Megadeth years. In addition, there are also 3 new songs on the record: "Barbie", "Tears Of An Angel" and the first single "Simple Mystery".
"Tsunami" is a song by the Southern All Stars, released as their forty-fourth single on January 26, 2000.
"Yuki no Hana" is the 10th single by Mika Nakashima. It was used as the Meiji boda advertisement song, as well as the Meiji galbo advertisement song. It peaked on the Oricon weekly charts at #3 and sold roughly 248,000 copies. The song "Yuki no Hana" was composed by Ryouki Matsumoto, and the lyric was written by Satomi.
"Tsume Tsume Tsume/"F"" is a double A-side maxi single by Japanese metal band Maximum the Hormone, released on July 9, 2008. The single reached number 2 on the Oricon Singles Chart and was certified gold by the RIAJ. The tracks "Tsume Tsume Tsume" and "F" were included on 2013's Yoshū Fukushū, released five years later.

Inferno is a studio album by guitarist Marty Friedman, released in 2014 through Prosthetic Records.
Onward to Freedom is a solo album by Tourniquet drummer, Ted Kirkpatrick. Originally announced as a side project to be released as The Tourniquet Ark, Kirkpatrick made the decision to release it under the Tourniquet name with himself listed as the primary artist. This has led to confusion in the fan community, and the erroneous classification of the album as an actual Tourniquet release. This has been exacerbated by Kirkpatrick choosing to refer to it as part of the Tourniquet catalog in stead of as a part of his solo catalog. The album features many musicians, such as Marty Friedman and Chris Poland of Megadeth, Mattie Montgomery of For Today and Michael Sweet of Stryper. The album was released on November 11, 2014 via Tourniquet's own label, Pathogenic Records.
Wall of Sound is the fourteenth studio album by the American guitarist Marty Friedman, released on August 4, 2017, through Prosthetic Records.
