About Japan-A-Radio
Japan's Best Music Mix Since 2000
Japan-A-Radio has been bringing the best Japanese music, anime soundtracks, and J-Pop to listeners worldwide for over two decades. Founded by Shon Elliott (DJ Masa), our station has grown from a small passion project into a beloved community hub for fans of Japanese culture.
After a brief hiatus in 2023, we're excited to announce our return in 2025 with enhanced streaming quality, expanded programming, and the same dedication to Japanese music that has defined us from the beginning.
