Music, art, culture...a variety of information is rushing in from all over the world to the cosmopolis, TOKIO. In this city which instantly reflects the current 'on going' aspects of Japan and the world, J-WAVE is sending off the latest movements to our listening audience with our own selection of quality music and updated information to help to create a vivid city life. We are a music station interfused in the city through music. We are the center of the media as a key station transmitting the pulse of TOKIO. This is how J-WAVE defines itself as an FM station.
J Wave is a radio station broadcasting from its headquarters in trendy
