On July 30, Japanese radio station Kiryu FM will air another special edition of its Music Forever program dedicated to the work of Dimash Qudaibergen, the People’s Artist of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. One of the highlights of the broadcast will be the first-ever airing of Dimash’s new song “Aqerke” on Kiryu FM.

Kiryu FM has been introducing Japanese audiences to Dimash’s music for six years, since 2020. During that time, the station has featured all of his new releases in regular rotation and has repeatedly devoted special programs to his music.

The upcoming Dimash Special will feature members of the Dimash Japan Fan Club. In addition to Aqerke, the program will include Love’s Not Over Yet, Kieli Meken, Love of Tired Swans, Daididau, Omir, and Olimpico.

Music Forever is produced in the city of Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture, by Kazuji Kato and Kyoko Yamamoto. The program airs on the first and third Thursday of each month from 7:06 p.m. to 7:59 p.m. (JST), with a repeat broadcast the following day at 11:06 a.m. Whenever a month includes a fifth Thursday, the team presents a special music program.
