"When the 2nd iron curtain will fall, I think they’ll [Russian Bands] show the world what they can do."  -Cache from the Russian rock band Slot 
With The Sochi Olympics now taking place, we are reminded of some Russian musical artists we've previously featured on our show -- due to the proximity between Russia and Japan, there have been examples of collaboration and mutual inspiration between Japanese and Russian musical artists.  This show will include an exclusive radio interview with the rock band Slot.  Having previously toured with Linkin Park, Slot will discuss topics such as media censorship and other challenges in Russia along with their unique connection to Japan.
