posted on by Andrew Osmond
A website for Anime Radio UK, a new online radio station, announces that the station will start broadcast on September 7.
According to the site, 'Anime Radio UK is the only official radio station dedicated to bringing you the very best music from Japanese anime, video games, film, Jpop, Jrock and everything else inbetween... Anime Radio UK is the only radio station in the country that broadcasts only Japanese music so we take our responsibilities very seriously and support the global music industries. We work closely with licensing bodies and agencies both in the United Kingdom and Japan to ensure that artists and creators are fairly paid the royalties that they are due for their musical creations.'
The Station Manager Adam Hughes told ANN, 'The station will play Japanese music from a wide variety of genres. It's not just back to back music like most other online radio stations, Anime Radio UK will be broadcasting a variety of original and exclusive content, some being live and others pre-recorded. The program line-up will be expanding over the weeks and months after launch.'
The programmes currently listed on the site include a daily chat show and the Oricon Top 30 Singles Chart (the Japanese music chart). There will also be shows about new releases and 'indie and alternative Japan,' as well as an 'Album of the Week' program.
According to the contact page on the website, the station's office is in Colwyn Bay, with a Japanese office in Osaka.
The station has a twitter feed here and a facebook page here.
