Shmupradio

Shmupradio is deep in Japan's listing, at 87 of 88. Down here the ordering barely orders anything: the difference between one position and the next is often a single recorded open, so treat the neighbours below as a shelf rather than as a ranking.

The directory records no opens at all for Shmupradio. That is a fact about the directory rather than about the station: a stream nobody has opened through radio-browser can be perfectly healthy and well listened to on its own site or on a radio. It does mean this page is where the station's directory history starts.

The directory records no language for Shmupradio. 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.

The stream is encoded at 320 kbps, more than twice the 128 kbps median for Japan. Bitrate is the one quality figure the public directory carries, and on this entry it is unambiguous.

Shmupradio streams from stream.shmupradio.com. No other station in Japan is served from that address, and across the whole directory it appears one time in total.
