From the publisher
さくらラジオは米国内にのみ放送しているインターネットラジオです。ラジオは著作権等の法規の問題で地域をアメリカに限定しております。このポッドキャストは日本はもちろん、全世界の皆さんが聞けるようにオープンしました。 Sakura Radio is a new platform through internet radio to Japanese communities. Unlike localized newspapers and other media, Sakura Radio covers all of the U.S., giving our listeners access to lifestyles, local events, and customs specific to each American region. While other Japanese internet radio stations in the US are just a little more than podcasts with many music playlists, more than 90% of Sakura Radio's airing time is packed with original programs. We are the first TRUE Japanese internet radio station in the US with 24/7 coverage throughout the United States. 世界・日本・アメリカ各地のニュースはもちろん、実用的な生活情報、イベント、人材情報、緊急情報や、その他幅広い分野の番組を用意しました。ご家庭向けの健康レシピ、子育て相談、健康アワーから、ビジネス向けの法律相談やビジネス談話など、また娯楽面では文化・芸能・著名人の生インタビューや、日本やアメリカの音楽、クラシックなど、様々な音楽も取り入れております。日本人の皆さんだけでなく、日本語を第二外国語として、あるいは現在お勉強中の方にも楽しんでいただけたらと考えております。
