It has been announced that the documentary program "Yoshida Takuro Radio Dream ~Thank you Radio I will continue to be by your side~," which follows singer-songwriter Yoshida Takuro, will be broadcast and streamed on WOWOW on November 30th.

In parallel with his activities as an artist, Yoshida has been in charge of regular programs under the name All Night Nippon in each decade from the 1970s after his debut to the 2020s. In 2022, he released his last original album "ah-Omoshirokatta," and the program "Yoshida Takuro's All Night Nippon GOLD," in which he was the personality, aired its final episode in December of the same year.

Yoshida, who says that "radio was my youth," expressed his hope for a project album themed on radio and late-night broadcasts as Nippon Broadcasting System celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, with gratitude to the station. Hoping to make this project a reality, the station cooperated and Yoshida returned to "All Night Nippon" for a limited time.

WOWOW's "Takuro Yoshida's Dream of Radio - Thank you, radio, I'll always be by your side" sees Yoshida gather in a recording studio with some of Japan's best musicians and arrangers to express his "youth with radio" in the form of a concept album. The 60-minute documentary program follows the recording studio and behind the scenes of radio recordings, as they create songs while bouncing ideas off each other, and follow the process to complete the new album, which contains five songs.
