Kamiya Hiroshi
DJ K is a DJ that focuses on talking while grief on this world, where the main protagonist Memenpu and Gaganbar clash with each other. As he has a mysterious role, where he might be involved in the main story or not… but the order from the staff is “Please be like a fake DJ in this FM”, so I will be doing this while over-exaggerating the impression of my FM!
Suwa Masaru
Even when the normal times have become abnormal and when we are doing the abnormal normal routine, you will able to hear this light-hearted DJ’s voice when you match the frequency. This year will be my 25th year as a composer for FM, but I had written this radio to give an impression that this FM’s DJ doesn’t exist. So, please listen to DJ K’s “Good morning K”!
