In Japan, radio programs are not so attractive as amusement, because
the number of stations is small, and programs are alike each other.
So, I think, most of Japanese do not pay their attention to radio
programs.

Several years ago, a new FM station called "FM Japan" (or "J-Wave",
81.3MHz around Kanto area) came up with programs that are slightly
different from others, and got very popular for its uniqueness. But,
soon, other stations followed after J-Wave's style, thus J-Wave is
not a unique one anymore, because there are many stations that have
programs in same style.

If we were tired of those similar radio programs, we can't help but
to do other than hear music from cassette tape or something such
like that. I guess that is the reason why there are so many Radio-
Cassette products (which have cassette-player/recorder, and radio
receiver in same box) in Japan.

In my opinion, Pocket-Radio (which is small receiver capable of
putting into your shirt-pocket) is only in demand, because they are
convenient to catch the news program in train on which we are moving
for attending office, but other radio receivers are not popular.

Of cource, there are larger radio receiver products, but they are
sold in separate (maybe smaller) counter apart from those for
radio-cassette products, or, even worse, there may be no such
counter for them (radio receivers) at all. So, you might have to
see the catalogue and order them giving a clerk a specific model
number, if you want to buy one.
