Haruki Murakami to play anti-war songs on his radio show in response to Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

In case you weren’t aware, Haruki Murakami has had his own radio show in Japan for awhile, in which he regularly takes listeners on a tour of his extensive record collection. This Friday (11pm Tokyo time), he’s going to devote his hour-long show to pro-peace/anti-war songs. As Murakami tells The Japan News:

In Ukraine, a war no one wants has begun. Can music stop war? Probably not.But I believe music can certainly stir up listeners into thinking they’ve got to stop the war.

Murakami will also be providing listeners with Japanese translations of iconic English-language protest songs.
