From Shonan! Radio and web collaboration "Double Planet"
Double Planet
Episode 0: Greetings
Jun Furuta & Yota Kanda (Radio Shonan Personalities)
Nice to meet you. My name is Furuta Jun.
This time, let me introduce myself in preparation for the new series that will start next month.
First of all, who exactly are we?
I usually run a theater company and work as a scriptwriter and director.
And through a fortunate coincidence, I now work as a radio personality with musician Kanda Yota (Bluestone) on a radio station in Kanagawa Prefecture.
The program in question is the music variety show "Love & Music," which airs every Saturday from 5 p.m. on Fujisawa City's community FM station, Radio Shonan FM 83.1.
This year marks the 16th year since the program began.
That's right, thanks to you it's actually a fairly long-running program.
The chemical reaction between the sensibilities of Kanda Yota and Furuta Jun has resulted in many radio-originated "songs" and "radio dramas" being born as the two forward-thinking people create something from nothing.
In addition, to mark the 20th anniversary of Radio Shonan's launch, they launched the "Shonan Sound Connection (SSC)" event to enliven Shonan through music, the region, and connections with people. Radio Shonan, which continues to broadcast from the very heart of Shonan, and Bluestone teamed up, and Bluestone held Vol. 0 in November 2016.
After the inaugural performance, which ended with great success, SSC has involved many artists and has grown into an increasingly larger event with each passing year.
Kanda was the vocalist for the Radio Shonan Band, which he formed with station personality Kyoko Tomita (formerly of Princess Princess) and Hideyuki Kadono (TUBE). Furuta was in charge of the script and direction for Vol.3 and Vol.EX.
The event is currently running up to Vol.5 and is still ongoing.
On the other hand, people from a variety of genres have appeared as guests on our show.
Kyoko Tomita (formerly Princess Princess)
Hideyuki Kadono (TUBE)
Reiji Matsumoto (TUBE)
Teruhisa Kitahara
Ryuichi Kawakami (Big Japan Pro Wrestling) and others
Additionally, the following people appear in the interview audio by Kanda Yota:

*Titles omitted. In no particular order.
In addition, as a program that brings together various artists from various fields, we have delivered everything from trivial conversations to deep discussions related to expression.
This time, we thought we could do a series that would be unique to us, so we are starting this project.
Titled
"Double Planet" is a serialized novel linked to the radio program "Love & Music."
Yes, novel style.
The main characters of this story are Aono Satoru, a male first-year high school student who lives in Kanagawa Prefecture and aspires to a career in music, and Tamaru Luka, a female first-year high school student who aspires to a career in acting.
The two are unaware of each other's existence, attend different high schools, and struggle with how to express themselves.
One Saturday evening, the two of them listen to the radio broadcast of "Love & Music," and a new development begins between them.
A new series that mixes fiction with reality.
We plan to link the program with the newly launched Facebook page .
A mixed project of radio and serialized columns set in Kanagawa.
Stay tuned!
