SKE48 Idols to Host New FM AICHI Radio Program
A fresh wave of idol charm is set to sweep across the airwaves as popular Japanese idol group SKE48 launches a brand new radio show, “FUJIMAKI GROUP presents SKE48 no F&C Music.” Starting January 2nd, 2026, the program will air every Friday from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM on FM AICHI (Nagoya FM80.7MHz / Toyohashi FM81.3MHz), promising to infuse Friday nights with a delightful musical experience.
This exciting new venture sees four members from SKE48 – Honoka Aikawa, Natsuki Kamata, Yuka Asai, and Yua Kawamura – taking the helm. They are joined by Shuhei Fujimaki, Representative Director and CEO of F&C Holdings Inc., who continues his role as a personality from the show’s predecessor. The program inherits the baton from “TEAM SHACHI no F&C Music,” which concluded at the end of December following TEAM SHACHI’s disbandment, bringing a new dynamic to the beloved time slot.
A Glimpse into the Idols’ World and Music Trends
“FUJIMAKI GROUP presents SKE48 no F&C Music” is designed to be a captivating 30-minute journey through the latest music trends and hit songs. The show will feature various music artists as guests, engaging in lively discussions with the hosts. Listeners can anticipate not only insights into the guest artists’ appeal but also “never-before-seen” glimpses into the true personalities of the SKE48 members and their personal thoughts on music.
The initial episodes in January will focus on introducing the new personalities, allowing listeners to get acquainted with Honoka Aikawa, Natsuki Kamata, Yuka Asai, Yua Kawamura, and Shuhei Fujimaki as they delve into their individual backgrounds and perspectives.
Fujimaki Shuhei, CEO of F&C Holdings Inc. and co-host, expressed the show’s core mission: to deliver “a musical experience that colors Friday nights enjoyably,” a sentiment sure to resonate with listeners. Fans eager to catch the show have multiple listening options. Beyond traditional radio, the program can be replayed for free within one week of broadcast using the popular Japanese smartphone app “radiko.” Additionally, the FUJIMAKI GROUP’s official YouTube channel will continuously update archives of the show’s talk segments, offering another way to enjoy the content.
