A talk program where different 'language professionals' engage in one-on-one, in-depth conversations.

The program title 'Ai-gake' is inspired by the concept of enjoying 'different flavors in one dish,' much like curry served with two types of rice. Guests include essayists, actors, and voice actors—individuals from professions different from announcer Shinsaku Kitamura, yet united by their shared dedication to handling language with care. Through their distinct approaches to language honed in their respective fields, the show deeply explores what it means to 'communicate' and to 'express oneself fully' in rich, intimate dialogues.

[Episode 2 (July 17)] Guest: Mana Motoami (Actor, Narrator)

The second episode features Mana Motoami, an actor and narrator raised in Osaka and now based in Kyoto. She joins Kitamura, who also grew up in Kyoto, for a heartfelt conversation.

They discuss the everyday life of Kyoto not found in guidebooks—the subtle scenery and seasonal changes visible only to those who live there. Building on the famous line from the popular drama 'One Vote in the Galaxy,' where Motoami played a deceased mother saying, 'When you're lost, go toward the brighter path,' they share their personal 'nameless walking paths.'

Tune in to experience this unique 'ai-gake' of language professionals on the radio.
