Creator of 'Yakuza' game series pivots to... radio?

Toshihiro Nagoshi, creator of the long-standing Yakuza series and former creative figurehead at Sega, has his sights set on the next challenge — hosting a weekly radio show in Japan, through Tokyo FM. Nagoshi, together with Ami Kikuchi, another Japanese radio personality, will congregate every Thursday for a talk show that will emphasize wide-ranging discussions between the hosts and weekly guest appearances.

As reported by Famitsu, the name of the show will be “Future Lounge,” and it is the result of a partnership between Nagoshi’s new development studio, Nagoshi Studio, and the aforementioned Tokyo FM radio station. Both hosts will sit down with guests as they attempt to “dig deep into their commitment to creativity, their influenced works, and their outlook on life.”
