one-of-a-kind voice. For approximately four years, beginning in the fall of 1997, she hosted J-WAVE’s late-night Sunday program “CAPYBARA RESTAURANT,” where she gained enduring popularity. Now, this legendary program will be making a one-day limited comeback in a special collaboration with a popular program currently airing. Collaborations will be held with “SAISON CARD TOKIO HOT 100” hosted by Chris Peppler (every Sunday, 1:00 PM – 4:54 PM), “SARAYA ENJOY! NATURAL STYLE” hosted by chef and food director Yuri Nomura (every Sunday, 6:00 AM – 9:00 AM, part of “EARLY GLORY”), and more. The event will center around a public recording of “CAPYBARA RESTAURANT,” a show that UA previously hosted, but will also feature appearances from hosts from each show. While it will be a single event, it will also be a public recording for each show. In addition, footage recorded at the event will be aired on each program at a later date. Each program will be uniquely edited, delivering a different perspective to listeners. On “SAISON CARD TOKIO HOT 100,” Chris Peppler will delve into UA’s 30th anniversary and musical activities, and on “SARAYA ENJOY! NATURAL STYLE,” there will be a special conversation with Yuri Nomura, a close friend of UA. In addition to the open recording, UA’s live performance will also be performed acoustically. We’re sure to bring you a special moment, lit up by the autumn air.
