(Mon-Wed, 11:30-13:00). 2025.05.21
The personality is singer-songwriter LOVE.
It's a program that doesn't usually have guests, but on that day's broadcast, fellow singer-songwriter Takaya Kawasaki appeared.
*****
LOVE: Being a singer-songwriter, well, you know, it's based on human activity, isn't it?
It's based on human activity.
Kawasaki: That's right, no doubt about it.

For radio listeners, weekday strip programs (broadcast daily or several days a week) can become a part of life and daily routine. They are a part of my life, too.
One personality refers to weekday morning and afternoon strip programs as electricity, gas, water, and live radio; or trains, buses, and live radio.
Especially on FM radio, which is close to music, singer-songwriters often serve as personalities. I thought this was natural, not only because radio and music are closely related and have high affinity, but also because the idea of it being based on human activity and a job of singing about life has a high affinity with radio, which becomes a part of daily life.
Personally, it was a discovery of a phrase.
Thank you for reading.
