ROCK LIFE ~NEED SOME FUN~ Begins Streaming

The show’s tagline is, “Make Life More ROCK.”

Here, “ROCK” doesn’t just refer to a music genre.

It means not being swayed by the opinions of others or current trends, but seeing things with your own eyes and enjoying them in your own way—whatever you personally find interesting.

Especially now, when we’re inundated with information and choices, let’s try to find our own unique “FUN”—not the “fun” that someone else has defined for us.

That’s the idea behind “NEED SOME FUN.”

■ Seriously searching for “Isn’t there something fun to do?”

There’s no set genre for the show’s themes.

Movies, music, ingredients and cuisine, culture, travel, things that catch our attention in the world, and sometimes even urban legends—

Including topics that might make you wonder, “Is that really something to talk about on a podcast?”—each episode branches out from a single point of interest.

At the heart of the conversation are AZ’s unique experiences—gained from years in the music and entertainment industries—and his perspective, which views things from a slightly different angle.

Combined with actress Shimbu Tachibana’s sensibilities and innocent questions, this creates a conversation that’s anything but predictable.

This show doesn’t aim to provide “the right answer.”

Through their conversation,

“I never thought of it that way,”

“That sounds kind of interesting,”

“I’ll try that myself sometime,”

—and for each listener to find their own small way to enjoy their daily life.

You don’t have to do anything extravagant—just by changing your perspective a little, your everyday life might become more interesting.

You get to decide for yourself how to enjoy life.

That’s what “NEED SOME FUN” means by a “ROCK life.”
