The radio program "Michi no Radio," produced by Japan FM Network Co., Ltd. (JFNC), will begin broadcasting on April 3rd. (Fridays, 20:00-20:55, though broadcast times vary by station.)

From unique programs produced by radio stations across the country to legendary personalities... We will uncover the charm of "unknown" (michi) radio through the distinct atmosphere of each region!

The navigator is comedian and Pikotaro producer, Kosaka Daimaou!

"Radio is actually gaining global attention right now! For instance, Hermès launched a program called 'Radio Hermès.' ...Radio is interesting precisely because you can't see all the information..."

Kosaka Daimaou began listening to local radio in the fourth grade, became a dedicated listener who sent in postcards, and started appearing on local radio in the sixth grade. Once he starts talking about radio, he can't be stopped!

Just as the once-unknown Pikotaro soared to global fame, could a similar "Big Bang" happen in radio? With that hope in mind, the first episode will focus on FM Aomori, in Kosaka's home prefecture.

With radiko in hand, please join us for the unique "Michi no Radio"!
