On a Friday night, time spent leisurely with quality music is a moment of bliss for adults. Delivering such rich moments is the radio program "TOKYO MOON" by DJ, selector, and broadcaster Toshio Matsuura. Each Friday, he broadcasts his curated selection of intellectually stimulating music and topics for adults worldwide, simultaneously on InterFM and London's online jazz radio, One Jazz. Here, we present the playlist from the latest broadcast each week.

This time, we feature a tribute mix for Tadashi Yabe of U.F.O., who passed away on July 25th at the young age of 59. I met him in December 1986 at "Bohemia," a jazz club in Nishi-Azabu where people came to dance. He was a comrade with whom I walked uncharted paths through Club King and U.F.O. My deepest condolences to the departed soul.
This time, a tribute mix to U.F.O.'s Yabe Tadashi, who passed away on 25th July at the age of 59. I first met him at the jazz club 'Bohemia' in Tokyo, back in December 1986, where people came to dance. Later, he became a comrade, journeying alongside Club King and U.F.O. on the road less travelled. I wish him peace in his final rest.
