30 Minutes on a Summer Night, Transcending Genre, Era, and Borders
A quiet Sunday evening, a moment of pure bliss for adults, with your own time flowing gently alongside exquisite music. Delivering such rich moments is the radio program "TOKYO MOON" by DJToshio Matsuura—. Each Sunday, he broadcasts a selection of wonderful music from around the world and topics to stimulate intellectual curiosity for adults, from 7 PM on Inter FM 76.1MHz. Here, we present the program as it airs each week. This week, we offered a Balearic selection, ranging from emerging artists to established legends, and from rock to folk and jazz.

Cool Down a Tropical Night with Balearic Music
Based in Los Angeles, a city that has consistently garnered attention from the global music scene for the past few years, Flying Lotus continues to release cutting-edge electronic music.Flying Lotus. We begin with the fusion sound of the 21st century, arguably the defining album of 2011 from his label "Brainfeeder," which launched the career of bassist Thundercat. Then, we introduce a mellow classic from the mid-1970s by the venerable George Duke, who stands at the origin of this sound. Additionally, I attempted to dissipate the heat of midsummer nights with Balearic music—a mix of rock, folk, and jazz from Atlanta, London, and Uruguay. How did you find it?
