J-Pop Christmas

In Japan's ordering this is number 49 of 88, which is the middle of the list. The stations either side of it are a better guide to what the country sounds like than the head of the list is, because the head is the same few famous streams in every country.

Japanese is the station's language and the country's commonest, one of four Japan's listing records.

J-Pop Christmas is the only station in Japan whose first tag is christmas, out of 88 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Japan does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only christmas station.

J-Pop Christmas streams at 128 kbps, which is exactly where Japan's dial sits: the country's median is 128 kbps. Being unremarkable on this axis is the normal case and it is fine. 65% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps or better.

The stream is served from cast3.torontocast.com:1170, which no other entry in Japan uses in this snapshot. Nothing else in the listing shares its fate: if this address stops answering it is this broadcaster's own outage, and if it plays, it plays.
