Welcome back to #IHEARTJROCK. This episode was recorded live at the Valley Free Radio studios on March 8th 2025. We started with some female performers to kick off Women's History Month. We also had birthday celebrations to SixTONES member Yugo Kochi. Thanks for leaving birthday wishes on the IHEARTJROCK Birthday wishes page.
We also had a short block for Atsushi Sakurai. He sadly passed a few years back. His birthday was March 7th. If you haven't visited IHEARTJROCK's Atsushi's memorial page. The link is below.
