Miku Radio

Miku Radio sits at 33 of 88 in Japan's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

The directory records no language for Miku Radio. That gap is common and it is upstream of this site: broadcasters fill the field or they do not, and roughly a third of the stations with pages here have left it empty. It means the station appears on its country hub and not on any language shelf, which is the one place the omission costs it.

An OGG stream on a MP3 dial. The public directory records the format as the server reports it, and formats this far off the beaten track usually indicate somebody running their own encoder rather than a hosted service.

Its audio comes straight from miku.fm, an address unique to this entry in Japan's listing. That is the simplest case there is, and it is the one where pressing play tells you the whole truth about whether the station is on air.

Their address is miku.fm. A .fm address says the broadcaster wanted a radio sounding domain, not that the station is in Micronesia, which is where that domain actually comes from.
