Spring is a time when people's movements become active through relocation, career changes, and moving to the city. Since March 16th, the J-WAVE campaign 'MY STORY TOKYO' has been re-examining the 'reasons for being in Tokyo' with its listeners, focusing on themselves in the present. This campaign, which has shared real attachments and feelings about Tokyo that cannot be described by convenience and glamour alone, is nearing its finale on May 10th. This special program, serving as the climax, will delve deeper into the charms of Tokyo through diverse voices and rediscover new values for the city. The navigators are Ryoh Fukawa, a familiar face on J-WAVE, and Saya Ichikawa, the Tuesday navigator for the daytime wide program 'MIDDAY LOUNGE'. Through their perspectives and words, they will unravel the 'reasons for being here' and depict the current state of Tokyo. [Luxurious Guests Appearing One After Another!] During the campaign period, J-WAVE navigators have published essays on the theme 'Reasons for Being in Tokyo' on the official J-WAVE note page.
