TOKYO MX's First Regular Podcast Program, 'Life is Made of Encounters' Presented by Osamu Suzuki x Jin (THE RAMPAGE), Begins Distribution!

Tokyo Metropolitan Television Co., Ltd. (TOKYO MX) will begin distribution of a new talk program on podcast, 'IBJ presents Life is Made of Encounters,' starting Friday, April 3, 2026. This will be TOKYO MX's first regular podcast program.

With the concept 'Encounters become the switch of life,' this talk program teams up Osamu Suzuki, representative of the to C fund 'Startup Factory,' and Jin (THE RAMPAGE). With the cooperation of IBJ Inc., which handles the most 'successful marriages' in Japan, the program will invite diverse guests such as entrepreneurs and cultural figures, and unravel 'encounters that became turning points in life' through Osamu Suzuki's in-depth questioning and Jin's talk. We will deliver a time every Friday that accelerates your 'next step' and changes your 'perspective on encounters' after listening.

The program will solicit listener experiences via social media such as X and Instagram, and email! We will focus not on the success stories of distant people, but on the 'importance of encounters' that are right next to your daily life.

The first guest will be Osamu Suzuki's wife, Miyuki Oshima of the comedy trio Morisan-chu! From her encounters with the members of Morisan-chu, to her marriage with Osamu Suzuki, and even stories about raising their 10-year-old son, Showa-kun, she will talk about the joys and sorrows of a life that drastically changed due to encounters. Please look forward to it!

Podcasts are interesting because the guests, unlike live radio shows, can be a bit more relaxed (laughs). I'm looking forward to talking about things I haven't discussed elsewhere.
