When radio comes into play

It was after all, the Great East Japan Earthquake that the radio made its presence felt to its fullest extent and played a major role.

The power was cut off, we couldn't watch TV or surf the internet, and the only source of information we had was a battery-powered radio.

The radio was the only source of information about the earthquake.

It's really helpful to have a source of information that you can rely on when something is wrong.

I didn't have a radio at the time, but I was able to get some information from my neighbors, and I was able to get some idea of what the earthquake was really like.

After that, I bought a radio because it would be useful in case of a disaster.

It is a simple battery-operated radio, but I think it can be useful in times of disaster.

I usually use it to listen to the baseball game.

In fact, I can't hear the TV because I'm hard of hearing.

If I use the sound I can hear, it would disturb the neighbors, so I put on headphones and listen.

The radio also comes in handy for me because I can listen to it with my earphones.

It's a bit hard on my ear canals and other parts of my body, but it helps that I can hear the announcers and commentators properly.

I enjoy listening to professional baseball broadcasts because on the radio, they go into all the details and include commentary.

This is a great tool for me because I can't talk to people properly because I can't hear properly because of my hearing problems, and I can't hear the TV sound either.

During the professional baseball season, I listen to live broadcasts of professional baseball games with earphones on the radio while I work on my computer.

The radio I usually listen to is often such a sports broadcast.

I also listen to the news, but mostly I get my news from the Internet and newspapers.

The best thing about the radio is that it can be relied upon in an emergency or disaster.

The show I was listening to late at night, relieved

I loved the program "Radio Midnight Service" on NHK radio.

I always had a small radio by my bedside and used to listen to it when I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep.

Although it was an NHK program, it didn't have a formal image, but it was fun, with a soft-spoken interview with the announcer of the day and music.

When the end of the summer war anniversary was approaching, we listened to stories about the experiences of people who had actually fought in the war and those who had been evacuated.

There were stories that brought tears to my eyes as I listened to them.

As the program was late, I listened to the program from the beginning but never to the end.

I fell asleep while listening to the program, and when I woke up in the morning, the end of the program was on, and it was the first program of the morning.

The announcer who was in charge of the program seemed to know that not all listeners were listening to the program from the beginning to the end.

They said something like, "For those of you who are awake, please stay with us until we go to bed. If you're awake, please stay with us until the end of the program.

In other late-night programs on commercial radio, popular comedians and TV personalities were making a lively program, but this "midnight service" had a nice and calm atmosphere.

It didn't have a glamorous atmosphere, but there was a section titled "Soundscape" where they introduced festivals around the country, scenes of work such as rice planting, the sounds of rivers and towns, and so on.

I think the composition of the program was designed in such a way that you could listen to it while you were sulking, or you could listen to it while you were listening to the interesting stories.

It was a treat for those sleepless nights, but I can't listen to it now as I live out of the country.

I heard that you can listen to it on the Internet, but I liked the relaxed atmosphere of the programs that came directly from the radio when I couldn't sleep.

But I thought it was different to listen to the internet, so I haven't listened to it now.

Whenever I get a chance to listen to it when I'm back home, I think, "Oh, I'm so glad this show is still on. And I'm very happy.
