Do people in the Kootenays know Japanese music? Do they know the difference between China and Japan? Do you think we see Samurai walking down the street?

OK, that's enough. It's time to have the first show to introduce Japan to the Kootenays, in Canada!

From Traditional to Rock, Pop, R&B, and even independent music, you can listen to a variety of Japanese music on this show!

Not only music, we will also talk about Japanese culture with weekly guests. To help you learn about Japan, we will introduce useful Japanese phrases. By the time this 16 week show ends, you will be 50% fluent in Japanese!!
