"Radio Star" is a nonstop entertainment drama set in Noto, depicting how ordinary citizens become stars. The cast includes Masahiro Kohmoto, Kiyohiko Shibukawa, Shoma Kai, Kaito Oyagi, Shunsuke Kazama Kazama, Tsutomu Tamura, Takako Tokiwa Tokiwa, and Manami Ono from the idol group "Hinatazaka46". The theme song is "Fune Ippai no Sachi wo" (A Boat Full of Happiness), written and composed by Yumi Matsutoya and sung by MISIA.
In the second episode, Matsumoto (Masahiro Kohmoto) had prepared a public bathhouse, Suzunoyu, as a place for Kanade (Fukuchi) to live. After the earthquake, Michiyo (Mako Beni) was feeling down, so her grandson Rikuto (Shoma Kai) was running it in her place. Rikuto reluctantly vacates the room for Kanade, but shows no interest in radio. The townspeople are also skeptical of radio.
Matsumoto and Kanade, hoping to increase their membership, begin handing out flyers with Tada (Kaito Ooyagi), who has offered to help.
