GLAY's official website has announced that TERU and JIRO will appear as guests on the radio program NACK5 "J-POP TALKIN'"!

Details

On December 16, 2026, TERU and JIRO will appear as guests on NACK5 "J-POP TALKIN'". The broadcast runs from 24:00 to 24:30, hosted by music critic Hideki Tanke.

As part of the same feature, TAKURO and HISASHI will appear as guests on the same program the previous week, on December 9. With members appearing on a weekly rotation, it's exciting that we'll get to hear from all four members within December alone.

Playback!

This isn't the first time GLAY has had a connection with "J-POP TALKIN'". In October 2024, to coincide with the release of the album 『Back To The Pops』, JIRO kicked things off on October 9, followed by TAKURO, HISASHI, and TERU appearing as guests on a weekly rotation.

Going back even further, Hideki Tanke's 2011 book 『J-POP列伝 音楽の中に君がいる2』includes a re-edited version of a lengthy GLAY interview that was originally conducted on a NACK5 program. Tanke and GLAY have a long history of discussing music together. We look forward to hearing what kind of conversation unfolds this time.

One More Thing

Being able to hear all four members' voices over two weeks—TAKURO and HISASHI on December 9, and TERU and JIRO on the 16th—is truly a luxurious treat.

We'll be sure to share any further updates about the broadcast on this site as well. It airs late at night, but let's look forward to enjoying the four members' talk!
