Night DJ
When I was a first grader of high school, I would occasionally listen to "Jetstream", the successfully long -term broadcasted radio program by a legendary navigator Tatsuya Jo, sponsored by Japan Airlines, on Tokyo FM. Midnight in early summer, I was half-sleeping in the futon, catching his extraordinarily dandy voice introducing musicians, telling tidbits on tunes through my earphone connected to the Sony's Walkman. Then, the pilot of the red-eye flight played another song. In a beautiful stream, it was gradually pulling at my heartstrings that, on the half way, I woke up completely, pressed the recording button for the cassette inside the audio gadget.
