On Wednesday morning, June 21, WPVR New York City Platinum Vibes Radio continued its excellence in global broadcasting as it presented the “J-POP FEST II”, a four-hour celebration of its select playlist spotlighting the best in J-POP music.
The J-POP FEST II is the second edition of the original program which aired in May as a part of the station’s 4th anniversary programming last month. Seeing how much the program resonated with listeners, WPVR decided to air another broadcast this month and they are extremely excited to get started on the upcoming third edition on Wednesday morning, July 28.
WPVR Program Director and playlist curator Kevin James explains the strategy behind the song selection for the program:
We aim to present a balanced mix of the most popular J-POP songs and artists that our listeners hear on a daily basis while also introducing tracks and acts that we’ve never aired before. For example, in this latest broadcast, we debuted music from popular Japanese acts such as Naniwa Danshi, Mrs. GREEN APPLE and Johnny’s West to name a few.
Overall, the J-POP Fest II featured sixty songs over a four-hour period by 37 different acts. It truly was a J-POP bonanza and each rendition is a thrill for the station as well as its global audience which tuned in across 33 countries, including of course Japan and other countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, the United States and France which topped the rankings of listenership.
Below is a complete list of the 60 songs played during the J-POP FEST, listed in alphabetical order by artist/group. Also, further below the track listing is a short form you can submit any suggestions or requests for J-POP III. Thank you!
