Listening to Japanese radio stations through an international radio app is such a trip. The talk show hosts all talk a mile per minute. Music choices range from American punk to the latest J-pop (and the occasional traditional ballad). The weirdest station was one in rural Hokkaido that was nothing but religious talks about kami-Sama (God). Japan isn't a religious country, so that one really stood out.

@Soramee_I use Radiogarden! Aside from Japanese stations it’s a lot of fun finding stations in remote places. I found a station in a remote Alaskan island with less than 500 people just yesterday.
@efaardvarkI should’ve been a bit more specific. I was surprised to find a Christian station since the majority of Japanese people are either into Shinto or Buddhism. I’ve encountered my fair share of religious stations, especially when I lived in rural Oregon.

@Neb Yes, a Christian-specific station would be a bit rare. The "other" category (in terms of religion) in Japan after Shinto and Buddhism is somewhat less than 10% and Christianity specifically is maybe 1-2% overall.
