Synopsis

From the radio drifted the sounds of Ugaminshoran, Hagee – the language of Amami Oshima Island. This issue finds its focus at a small FM station nestled on the island in Kagoshima Prefecture. Islanders appear on air, and many programs are hosted by everyday people. The news is often read in the island dialect by individuals in their seventies and eighties. Spend three days listening to the radio and observing the rhythm of life on the island.
