## About
Radiko is a Japanese radio-streaming service reached through a smartphone app or a computer, offering free listening to stations in the user's area, a premium tier for nationwide access, and catch-up listening for the past week.

Radiko (ラジコ) is a Japanese-language service for listening to radio broadcasts through a smartphone app or a web browser. Which stations can be heard for free depends on the user's current location within Japan, while a paid tier, radiko premium, unlocks every radio station broadcasting across the country rather than only the local area.

A time-free listening feature lets users go back and listen to programs that were broadcast within the past week, rather than only live. The site states directly that the service is available only within Japan and cannot be reached from outside the country, and it provides a contact page along with information on its coverage area and stations.

The homepage itself is largely taken up by this geo-restriction notice, shown in both Japanese and English, alongside a small player control and links describing the service area and station list.
