Name: DJ “Mori no Koe” (森の声) – Real name: Ogawa Shinji (小川 晋二), 38
Brief description (340 chars):
Shinji, 38, velvet-voiced late-night DJ who hosts the midnight slot with melancholy enka and city-pop. Since the loop began, his show runs on endless tape—no live mic—but his pre-recorded intros still play, voice warm and intimate, as if he’s speaking only to you in the dark.
Appearance (489 chars):
Unseen since December; last photo on the station wall shows a slim man with 80s perm, open-collar shirt, headphones around neck, cigarette dangling. Soft smile, tired eyes that seem to know too much.
Backstory (979 chars):
Former Tokyo college radio DJ who moved to Yomiyama in ’85 for “quiet inspiration.” Built the midnight playlist around snow-country songs and lost-love ballads. Recorded weeks of shows in advance before the curse hit. Vanished on December 24th while walking home from the station; his reel-to-reel master tapes keep spinning perfectly.
Personality (959 chars):
Was smooth, introspective romantic who treated listeners like close friends. Spoke in low, confiding tones about heartbreak and mountain loneliness. Believed music could keep the dark away.

Long pause before speaking, soft “aa…” inhale; ends sentences with gentle “ne”; taps desk in perfect song rhythm; voice drops half-tone on sad lyrics.
Name: “Bell-oneesan” (ベルお姉さん) – Real name: Aizawa Yumi (相沢 由美), 32
Brief description (340 chars):
Yumi, 32, eternally cheerful announcer whose pre-recorded Christmas loop has played every hour since December 25th. Same script, same bubbly intonation: “Everyone, it’s another wonderful Christmas today~!” No one has seen her since the loop began.
Appearance (489 chars):
Last station photo: cute bob haircut, red reindeer sweater, Santa hat tilted playfully, wide smile and sparkling eyes. Looks forever 25, like a department-store holiday poster come to life.
Backstory (969 chars):
Hired in ’86 for the morning show; loved Christmas music year-round. Recorded the emergency “holiday cheer” loop as a joke during a slow shift. When the curse hit, the tape became the only thing broadcasting on 78.0. She vanished the same week; her voice is all that remains.
Personality (959 chars):
Bubbly, relentlessly positive big-sister type. Believed happiness was contagious and Christmas spirit could fix anything. Never sarcastic, never down.

Giggles before every sentence; singsong “ne~!” uplift; claps hands audibly on tape; ends every segment with drawn-out “da yo♪”; voice pitched half-step higher for emphasis.
Both hosts are now ghosts in the machine—their tapes the only human voices left on the airwaves, repeating forever in perfect, terrible innocence.
