The 'Yume no Tane Broadcasting Station Kobe Studio' (Nagata Ward, Kobe City), operated by Positive Happy Land (Representative: Norimasa Morisaki), will celebrate its first anniversary since opening in August 2025.

In the year since its opening, 100 personalities have been produced, with the youngest being a high school student and the oldest in their late 70s. People of a wide range of ages have shared their thoughts, dreams, and activities with the nation.

Nagata Ward in Kobe City, despite suffering significant damage from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, is a town where human connections and warm community ties still thrive.

The Kobe Studio was established in a traditional house in Nagata, utilizing the concept of 'connections, support, and contribution,' as a place where anyone can express their thoughts and where people can connect and support each other.

A Year Producing a Total of 100 Personalities

In recent years, with the spread of social media, it has become an era where anyone can easily share information.

However, it is by no means easy to articulate one's thoughts and dreams and to continue broadcasting them consistently.

Many people who participated in the Kobe Studio initially said things like, 'Someone like me on the radio?' 'I'm not good at speaking in front of people,' or 'I don't have enough experience to broadcast.'

Despite this, they took a courageous step forward and delivered their life experiences and thoughts about their activities as radio programs.

The total of 100 personalities born in the past year include business owners, sole proprietors, company employees, housewives, students, welfare workers, artists, and many others.

The Kobe Studio's aim has not been just to produce radio programs, but 'to create a community and a place where dreams can be shared and fulfilled.'

We believe that producing a total of 100 personalities is one tangible result of that philosophy.

New Connections Born from Radio

At the Kobe Studio, many connections are being made through appearances on the programs.

New businesses have been born from interactions between personalities, leading to the organization of community events, and there are numerous cases of development into volunteer and social contribution activities.

It is precisely because many personalities with diverse activities are affiliated that connections beyond imagination are being formed.

While broadcasting nationwide via the internet, it continues to grow as a community that values real-life connections.

The Kobe Studio is more than just a radio station; it will continue its activities as a local exchange hub that connects people.

1st Anniversary Party to Be Held

To express our gratitude for the first year since opening, we will hold a commemorative event bringing together personalities, listeners, and local businesses.

On the day, we will look back on the past year, express our gratitude to everyone who has supported us, and share our future vision for the Kobe Studio.

Kobe Studio Owner's Comment

Positive Happy Land Representative Norimasa Morisaki

"The Kobe Studio has been able to reach its first anniversary thanks to the support of many people.

From this place, born with the support of 257 people through crowdfunding, a total of 100 personalities have emerged in the past year.

From high school students to those in their late 70s, each person is sharing their dreams and thoughts in their own words.

Our goal is not to operate a radio station.

It is to create a community where each individual can be the protagonist, share their dreams, and support each other.

We believe that this ultimately contributes to the community and society.

In the past year, personalities and guests who have emerged through the Kobe Studio have expanded their scope of activities and taken on new challenges, inspired by the connections made through the studio.

I, who work alongside them, also receive good stimulation.

I'm sure the listeners of the programs are also excited.

Going forward, Yume no Tane Broadcasting Station Kobe Studio will continue to deliver the seeds of dreams from Kobe to the nation, cherishing 'connections, support, and contribution.'

Future Outlook

The Kobe Studio will continue to:

- Support the broadcasting activities of people active in the community

- Support the challenges of young people and students

- Strengthen collaboration with local events

- Disseminate information from Kobe to the nation

We aim to realize a 'media where anyone can be the protagonist.'
