AWA, a subscription-based music streaming service operated by AWA Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akio Togashi), will launch the official program “Tokyo Girls’ Style Pyramid Memories” in which Tokyo Girls’ Style and Hiroaki Terada explore the “pillars” of idol songs in the online space “Lounge,” which anyone can join for free, from 10:00 p.m. on Monday, June 3, 2024.
This new program is a music program where Tokyo Girls’ Style learns about the behind-the-scenes of songs and music culture, mainly idol songs. Each time, the program will feature a different theme, such as artists, events, and movements, and the MC will provide commentary on the songs, while the program will delve deeper into the songs and announce the songs that Tokyo Girls’ Style recognizes as “monumental” from the perspective of active idols. We will deliver a program unique to the “lounge” where listeners can have interactive interactions and can freely play official sound sources. The program MC will be Hiroaki Terada, a solo comedian who has advanced to the finals of the “R-1 Grand Prix” for four consecutive years since 2021 and is also known as an idol fan. Hiroaki Terada, who visits 222 idol events a year, will provide a sharp perspective and bring out a new side of Tokyo Girls’ Style. Anyone can join the AWA Lounge for free from the AWA app or WEB, and listeners can interact with artists through chat.
