Stay Home Radio Special

May 22, 2020

Japanese literary icon Haruki Murakami hosts a two-hour Stay Home Special radio show on Tokyo FM 80.0, from 10 to 11:55 P.M. (two to 3:55 P.M. G.M.T.). “I’m hoping that the power of music can do a little to blow away some of the corona-related blues that have been piling up,” the music enthusiast wrote of his upcoming D.J. set, in which he’ll spin tunes from his 10,000-or-so-record collection of vinyl. Murakami achieved international superstardom with, among others, Norwegian Wood and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. In 2018 he released his latest novel, Killing Commendatore, and wrote the liner notes for the 20th anniversary reissue of fellow Japanese icon Ryuichi Sakamoto’s BTTB album.
