Articles written in a chain

Hello, I am 【Ochirashisan】 staff member Shimada.
Since this is a period where I am personally in a lull between theater visits, and there are no particular topics I can expand upon, I have decided to write down whatever comes to mind and then write a chain of articles based on the words that emerge from that process.

First, we will start with 【Ochirashisan】 which appeared in the previous section.
(Words enclosed in 【】 are the themes for the next section.)

【Ochirashisan】
As I have already mentioned in note articles and on Twitter, I served as a substitute personality for Ochirashisan 【Radio】.
Although the tone was a bit different from the usual Ochirashisan Radio, it was a rare episode, so I hope you enjoy it.

I have written about my encounter with radio in a past note, so please take a look if you would like.

【Radio】
Because of that, I have been listening to a lot of radio this season (from April 2022).
My beloved TBS Radio program 'Hikaru Ijuin to Radio to' ended in March, but since I also love Panther Mukai, who hosts the successor program 'Panther Mukai no #Flat', I am ultimately consuming the same amount of radio in the same time slot.

At Nippon Cultural Broadcasting, the morning wide program 'Otonari-san' has started.
Since there are many days hosted by personalities I love, I am consuming it daily along with TBS Radio while using the radiko time-free function.

Among them, my recommendation for this season is 【Takeshi Washizaki no Hima kara Botamochi】, which is broadcast every Sunday from 14:00 to 16:00 on Nippon Cultural Broadcasting.

【Takeshi Washizaki no Hima kara Botamochi】
It has been about 20 years since I started listening to Washizaki-san's radio.
I have been influenced by Washizaki-san in many ways, including pre-90s culture, Japanese literature, rakugo, blues, guitar, and walking. It is no exaggeration to say he is one of the most important people in my life, to the point where I made a high-amount investment in his crowdfunding for a one-man live concert, and in my student days, I even copied his mannerisms and way of speaking entirely.

His witty way of speaking, his broad knowledge and vocabulary (though he himself says, 'I just remember what I like and what I want to remember'), and the balance between when to play around and when to be serious—Washizaki-san's talk is very pleasant to listen to.

I have listened to Washizaki-san's programs in the evening, at night, and late at night, but this is my first time listening to a daytime terrestrial broadcast. (I wonder if it's his first time in his career too? If there are any hardcore fans out there, please let me know.)
He is a personality I have been listening to for a long time, but because it is a different time slot than before, I started listening to this program with great anticipation.

『Ken no Engawa』 is a guest corner where you can hear stories from various people every week, and in the corner called 『Takescription Sunday Masterpiece Collection』, you can hear music selections unique to Washizaki-san that you can't hear anywhere else. (By the way, previous features have included 'Italian Kids Songs' and 'Soba'.)

As an aside, I bought the haiku collection by the free-verse haiku unit Hidarikiki Club, who were guests on the second episode of 'Ken no Engawa', immediately after listening to the radio.
I fully push the people I like and the content involved with the people I like with all my might. (I'm sure many of you are the same, aren't you?)

I am enjoying it immensely every week, but what is the impression of those who learned about Washizaki-san for the first time through this program? Is anyone listening?

I could keep going, but since I started from a place where there was no particular content to write about, I will take my leave here for now. (In terms of character count, it seems I ended up writing nearly four sheets of manuscript paper...)

I will prepare to write about something 'this is it!' next time...
