Concept
Music allows us to connect ourselves to the passion of others
The concept is to connect to various music and passion at any place for the purpose of the interaction. The passion from the music, which is easily available to us in the form of such as the concert, broadcast, DJING created with the support of digital and network, permeates into the daily lives of listeners through the convergence media and provides them with a new type of lifestyle. We can share the emotion and communicate through the music and the new environment of BBC radio 2 & 6 music.

The music, maybe passion in other words, enables the listeners to even change profoundly their own atmosphere at the present moment, as well as permeating into their heart and communicate with them the minute they access the music at any place irrespective of who they are. The enthusiasm of others and musicians transforms into their own creative inspiration, together with their own enthusiasm.
