Actress Momoko Fukuchi stars in the NHK nighttime drama "Radio Star" (NHK General, Monday-Thursday 10:45 PM). In the 24th episode on May 7th, the radio station faces a crisis of survival due to funding problems.
"Radio Star" is a nonstop entertainment drama set in Noto, depicting how an ordinary citizen becomes a star. The theme song is "A Boat Full of Happiness," written and composed by Yumi Matsutoya and sung by MISIA.
In episode 24, Kanade (Fukuchi) successfully returns to being a radio star. Just when it seemed that the broadcast would continue smoothly, the equipment used for broadcasting malfunctions.
Matsumoto (Masahiro Kohmoto) and his team are struggling financially and don't have the money to repair their radio show, but one day, 1 million yen is deposited into their account. Not knowing whose money it is, they discuss what to do with the funds and the idea of crowdfunding comes up. Matsumoto, the founder of Radio Star, is troubled about what he should do.
