The 102nd episode of JFN's national FM program MUSIC TOURIST, hosted by producer Ryo'LEFTY'Miyata, welcomes singer-songwriter Daiki Ueno, a former Japan national soccer team candidate. The pair discuss Ueno's digitally released single 'Natsu ga Kirai,' out August 5, and its coupling track 'Oyasumi, Kimi ni.' In the 'My Philosophy' segment, Ueno explains his rule of keeping no fixed routines in daily life to preserve his sensibilities.
The episode airs from September 12, 2026. Ueno, born in 1996 in Ube, Yamaguchi Prefecture, saw his 2020 track 'Love Song' spread by word of mouth before a major debut on cutting edge in April 2023. His 2024 song 'Nuime' opened the Kantele and Fuji TV drama 'Anmett: Aru Nougeka no Nikki,' and he later wrote the theme for NHK's 'Aozora Beer' and the 40th anniversary song for FM Yamaguchi. The program closes with the coupling track 'Oyasumi, Kimi ni' and its production story.
