Japanator Radio 100

Daa da da DAAA!

Here we are. We made it! 100 of these damn things. Who would have thought? Not me at least. I figured this whole enterprise was going to be an utter failure soon after the first show two years ago, but go figure, here we are 99 shows later and bigger than ever.

My very rough and totally one-sided estimations put Japanator Radio right around a couple thousand listeners a week at the high-end. I have no real idea how many of these are regular listeners and how many are curious new visitors or just random bots. I'd like to think that they are all real, awesome people who like awesome music and are awesome. You are all awesome. 

In a feeble and rather unworthy attempt to show my humble gratitude, both this week 'sand next week 's shows will be 100% listener-generated from the comments. I had asked to hear everyone's list of favorite Japanese songs and bands and I received a huge number of suggestions. It was cool to see so many people who had very similar interests to myself, as well as a lot of new things I wasn't familiar with. That really represents the spirit of Japanator Radio at its best, I think. I always want to play music that I think is worthwhile and cool, but I am always looking for the same sort of sharing from other people. No one knows everything, and it's only by sharing our love of music that we will all be able to find new favorites.

OK. Blah blah, you dontt need to hear this. You already know it. Here's the show. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks everyone!
