On the 2020/6/28 (Sun) broadcast of the TOKYO FM radio program “Sugisaki Hana’s Flower TOKYO” (every Sunday from 8:00 to 8:30).
Sugisaki Hana talked about her thoughts on “music” and “memories” from “requested songs” and “listener messages”.
Sugisaki Hana: I received this wonderful email.
Hyogo Prefecture, 25 years old, radio name “Kaze de Aonori Totteta”.
Listener email: Ohana-chan, good morning.
Sugisaki Hana: Good morning.
Listener email: I’m making a playlist of songs selected by Ohana-chan and songs recommended by listeners, so I’m looking forward to seeing it grow every week.
Listeners have all kinds of “thoughts” and “memories”, so it’s very pleasant to listen to the songs after hearing their stories. After playing the selected songs, I’m happy to hear Ohana-chan’s interpretations and “thoughts” on the songs, which is “only possible on radio”.
I’m also soothed by O-hana’s casual stories and laughter.
I love the peaceful times on this show.
Sugisaki Hana: I’m so happy…thank you.
I’m probably grinning from ear to ear (laughs).
I’m a little curious about the “green laver flew away” part…is that the thing? Did the green laver that you “bought” fly away, or did the green laver that was “attached” fly away (laughs).
Green laver tends to stick to things, doesn’t it…maybe it was the one you bought?
…Oh man. So you’ve made a playlist.
I wonder what you’ll name the playlist…I’m so happy.
But I really feel warm inside every time I read listeners’ messages and listen to songs, and while the “sound that flows through the airwaves” is probably the same whether it’s a listener’s request or a song I selected myself, I think that each person’s “feelings,” “scenery,” “smell,” and other things are added to that one song, and the “music heard through that person’s filter” sounds original to each person. It’s a lot of fun to play and listen to songs while imagining that, and it makes me think how wonderful it is that music remains cherished in people’s hearts like that.
I look forward to continuing to listen to various songs along with your precious memories.
Thank you everyone for your requests.
