When The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake struck the Kansai area of Western Japan in 1995, many foreign residents were left in a state of confusion because of a lack of emergen-cy information in any langauage other than Japanese. As a result, licenses for new radio stations broadcasting in foreign languages, particularly in the event of emergencies, were allotted in both Osaka and Tokyo, and InterFM started broadcasting in Tokyo in April 1996. Only Kanto FM station has a Kanto wide area license. Became a special member of the National FM Broadcasting Council from September 1, 2020.
April 2022, "Find Your Colors" is our new statement. In the age of diversity, "Find Your Colors" expresses the encounter with "information and wisdom" that enriches our lives and "music" that enriches our hearts, aiming to bring us closer to a society that recognizes diversity and each individual's differences. As the word "inter" implies, "interfm" has been delivering a variety of languages and music from a high-level perspective, and we will continue to propose even more diverse cultures, lifestyles, and ways to enjoy them to you.
