My radio adaptation of

The Mermaid Has Fled on NHK FM's Seishun Adventure

begins its two-week broadcast today.


Michiko Aoyama's original novel creates a gentle, slightly mysterious world,

where chance and inevitability are quietly intertwined.

I hope you enjoy experiencing it as an audio drama.

December 22 (Mon)–26 (Fri), 2025, 9:30–9:45 p.m. (Episodes 6–10)
