On the October 25, 2020 (Sun) broadcast of the TOKYO FM radio program “Sugisaki Hana’s Flower TOKYO” (every Sunday from 8:00 to 8:30).
Listener email: (Omitted) I didn’t have much of a habit of listening to the radio, but before I knew it, I was listening to Sugisaki’s voice every week,
and the music selected by Hana is very pleasant to listen to, so I enjoy listening to it.
You know so many genres of music even though you’re young, and I’m impressed that you know so much,
and I take notes of artists’ names and other information so that I can buy the CDs of music that I find pleasant to listen to.
How and where do you get information about various songs even though you’re busy with work?
When I set my sights on an artist I like, I end up listening to that artist’s songs all the time, so I don’t listen to many different genres of music.
I’ve been into Michael Buble for the past few years. Among them, “Home” is a song I want to listen to when I’m feeling a bit homesick and want to go back to my parents’ house.
Please give it a listen if you like. I’ll be listening to the radio from now on.
Sugisaki Hana: Thank you. I’m really happy to receive such a thoughtful message.
I like to surf the internet a lot when it comes to music, and I think there are a lot of music apps out there, and they’re like, “This is also recommended for you who listen to this,” so I’m like, “Oh, I’m a bit interested, so I’ll give it a listen.” (laughs)
I have a lot of friends around me who like music, and we send each other songs that we think are great, and they introduce me to some songs, and I also really like songs that are used in movies and commercials, and if I think of a song, I’ll look it up right away.
But I understand that if you have a favorite artist, you’ll just listen to that person’s songs. I do that every day too (laughs).
I listen to the same song about 50 times, really about 50 times. It’s almost annoying (laughs).
Let’s start off by asking Radio Name Poke’s “Starting Song Request.”
“Home” by Michael Buble.
