If the Showa era in Japan continues, this year marks the centenary of the Showa period. Let's look back on that era while enjoying nostalgic songs from the 1960s to the 1990s. 'Showa 100' is broadcast on the first Thursday of every month.

Showa 100 is a new music segment hosted by Jason Jones, aka JJ, who is a lecturer at Monash University during the day and turns into a radio host in the night.
