Tokai On Air’s MUSHINAGAKU reveals “Behind the Scenes of the Broadcasting Department,” “The Future of the Group,” and “Marriage and Family” as Tokai On Air Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

I’ve been doing radio for over three years on my personal channel, but it was embarrassing to look back at old letters. I was 26 years old when I started, so I was afraid to check the transcripts to see if they were saying the same things I am saying now.

says Magnifying Glass, 30, a member of Tokai On Air, a You Tuber based in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. While working for the popular group, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with about 6.9 million channel subscribers, he also runs a personal channel called “Mushin Kagaku no Hoso Bu” (Mushin Kagaku’s Broadcasting Club). Every Monday and Thursday, he broadcasts a radio program in which he answers listener letters.

On June 2, a book that compiles the contents of this radio channel, “Tokai On Air’s Videos Become 6.4 Times More Fun: The Extreme Magnifying Glass’s Broadcasting Club Edition,” was published. We asked him about the behind-the-scenes production of the book and the future of Tokai On Air.

I was interviewed about the book’s production and the future of Tokai On Air. I did the words, but half of the book is based on letters from viewers. If I had said, ‘This is the one I want you to use,’ I felt that I would only choose the ones that I felt comfortable with, so I asked a third party, the editor, to make the selections for me.

The first video of “Magnifying Glass’s Broadcasting Club” was posted on September 23, 2006. Does Mr. Magnifying Glass remember his past letters?

I recall the contents when I read them back,” she said. “I found my answers to them interesting. For example, in a letter that said, ‘I broke up with my boyfriend because he drank and drove,’ I not only said, ‘Drunk driving is wrong,’ but I went as far as to say, ‘You still have the option to love your boyfriend. Now I would say something roundabout out of concern for public opinion, but I thought I was facing it right in the past.

Getting serious letters is also a difficult part of my channel. It’s not that I want to be an expert at listening to your problems. I just want to make interesting videos, so it’s fine if I read only the light-hearted letters. Even so, there are people who send me letters that say things like, ‘I’m seriously putting my life on the line.

He says he started radio as a personal channel in the first place partly out of an impure motive: “If I get mail from listeners, I don’t have to think about what to record every day. However, in the corner of his mind was “SCHOOL OF LOCK!” (TOKYO FM), which he listened to while studying in junior high and high school. (TOKYO FM), which he listened to while studying in junior high and high school. The image of “Principal Yamashige” facing his students, sometimes on the verge of tears, remained in his mind, according to Magnifying Glass.

In the book alone, we received such earnest concerns as “He was preparing to propose to me, but he has been restructured” and “I want to do something about my father who denies me what I like. How in the world did they come to receive such serious concerns from listeners?
