Dark Shadow Magazine says, “When it comes to music of this genre, Joint One Radio and Record Pool is the pipeline to all of Japan. When you think of where the heartbeat of American music is today, thoughts of Los Angeles or New York may cross your mind. At the very least, we may think that our radio stations should be playing the most current music in the industry.
Think twice because most likely, these same songs were first aired on InterFM 76. 1 Tokyo. “�
