Listen to Yukiko Tsutsui, host of Japanese Musiquest, talk about what life is like in northern Japan right now and how people are coming together in the face of the recent earthquake and tsunami. Tune in to Kootenay Co-op Radio in Nelson, BC on Tuesday, March 15 from 1-1:30pm PT for a special show.

Here's how Yukiko described her show for last year's Community Radio Awards:

"Before Japanese Musiquest began, there was no Japanese radio show in Kootenay area. Since this area is a very historical place to Japanese internment camps during the Second World War, the programmer desired to present authentic Japanese culture to listeners to enrich their understanding about Japan. The programmer believed that the music and language are the best ways to get to know the different culture. As she fell in love with North America through those ways, she hopes listeners are more interested in Japan."
