On November 28, the Radio Committee of the National Association of Commercial Broadcasters in Japan announced the launch of the unified commercial radio campaign "Radio is Coming!" as part of its "Radio Revitalization Project." Program staff from all 100 private radio stations will visit elementary, junior high, high schools, vocational schools, and universities nationwide. Activities include on-campus broadcasts by program personalities, workshops on radio production by directors, and public recordings of popular programs. Footage from these school visits will be broadcast by each radio station, centered around "Private Radio Day" on March 3 next year.
Prior to the visits, radio stations nationwide will recruit participating schools via broadcasts starting December 1st. Applications will be accepted on a dedicated website (until December 31st).
