Gensokyo Radio

Out of 88 entries in Japan, this one ranks 9. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The directory counts 30 opens against this stream. That is well above Japan's median and it is the reason the station sits where it does on the country list, since the ordering is the count and nothing else.

Gensokyo Radio broadcasts in English from Japan, one of seven stations there that do. The country's dial is mostly Japanese, so these seven entries are a minority language cluster inside a national listing rather than the listing itself.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

256 kbps against Japan's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 65% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.
