Luxurious Guests Share "Encounters That Changed Their Lives"

The program will be hosted by Osamu Suzuki, representative of the to C fund "Startup Factory," and Jin, leader of the popular dance and vocal group THE RAMPAGE. Each week, they will welcome distinguished guests to delve deeply into the "encounters" that marked turning points in their lives.

Additionally, listener experiences will be solicited via social media platforms like X and Instagram, as well as email! The program will focus not just on the success stories of distant individuals, but also on the "importance of encounters" that are close to our everyday lives.

The first guest will be Miyuki Oshima of Morisanchu. She will share the joys and sorrows of a life dramatically changed by encounters, starting with her meeting with the members of Morisanchu, her marriage to Osamu Suzuki, and her experiences raising her 10-year-old son, Shofuku.

Guest Comments

Osamu Suzuki (Representative of Startup Factory)

Podcasts are interesting because the guests, unlike live radio shows, can let their guard down a bit (laughs). I feel like we can create something quite fascinating as a program that delves into "life" without worrying about time, exploring things we haven't talked about elsewhere. Please look forward to it!
