Internet radio show [link]

Eufonius hosts an Internet radio show called Frequency-e which had its first broadcast on May 30, 2005. The broadcasts are hosted by Riya and Hajime Kikuchi, and are available for download at Eufonius' official website.^[2] Eufonius had originally planned to put out a new broadcast once a month, but due to being busy, they only release two or three a year in irregular intervals. As of May 24, 2011, there have been 11 broadcasts. The show primarily consists of Eufonius' members conversing, responding to listener's messages, or giving updates or general information on releases by the band. The name of the show comes from the name of the band's official website.
