OnlyHits Japan

Out of 88 entries in Japan, this one ranks 17. 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.

OnlyHits Japan broadcasts in Japanese, which is the language most of Japan's stations in the directory use. The country's listing records four languages in total, so the Japanese stations are the body of the dial rather than the whole of it.

OnlyHits Japan 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.

Its audio comes straight from j.onlyhit.us, 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.

OnlyHits Japan publishes at j.onlyhit.us. The domain's country code is not the country the directory files the station under, which happens often enough with hosted stations and diaspora broadcasters to be unremarkable, and is still a difference this page will point out rather than hide.
