Lost in Talking
It's 2027. Born in 2007, the main character K has no girlfriend and is part of a cultural minority with few friends. In a paperless age with no books, magazines and newspapers, K collects the old media of the 20th century. His little dream is to "make a book" with his friend 21LO! But it goes against the law to make books in the age when the distribution or even printing is impossible and severely restricted without an official government emblem...
EPISODE 41
Forgetting the main point of the radio show, the 2 of us turned into talking heads. Recording soon began our routine work. We are like on top of the world as we aren't not used to be praised.
The radio show is very popular on the other side of the earth as well. We even got support emails from Brazil. Appreciated. Thanks to the development of translating equipment and technology. Our radio show has been received better and better. We are pretty busy everyday like in a movie.
Are people fascinated by a sort of “back side” of the illegal radio show? Chatting with 21LO things like that, first of all, we are not so cool about putting them together in one word “people”.
We're just enjoying the fact that the radio is becoming more and more popular.
In the speed of light, the radio show and our voices were delivered. There were high school girls talking about us on the train. It came out at work finally, and I became a kind of popular guy, I even scribbled my signature for my colleague. A record sampled our voice was released and it made a minor hit. We were surprised, enjoyed and laughed so much. We immediately used it as theme music for the radio show.
