In this episode, I snuck in a secret featured artist set by including not one, but two musical projects headed up by Enon Kawatani. Good news, though, both projects sound completely different, kind of like all the music in this episode. Have you got an itch to hear some Visual Kei? Are you jonesing for a hit of that good, good J-Pop? Want to hear a husky voice get excited about the Korean rice dish known as bibimbap? Good news, it’s all here!

Have you got a request? Hit me up on Twitter and let me know what you want to hear! And if you’re a fan of the show, please consider leaving a comment on Apple Podcasts. It would really help getting Nihongaku Radio to more listeners. Thanks!
