The radio show/podcast #iheartjrock was created at the Valley Free Radio studios in Feb of 2017. It was on Saturdays 12AM EST until 2 AM. A lot of music was played on air for a year then moved to Saturdays at 10PM. DJ Sakura666 was all alone until 2019 when DJ Silent came onboard with music from the 80s. #iheartjrock moved to 3 hours in 2023.

This year there were tons new requests from music from Japan. A lot of it was Japanese Pop, and not so much japanese rock, but we played what we could and also kept up with classic jrock bands, vk bands.

We held a poll asking about favorite things of 2023. Thank you very much for taking time out of your day to look at it and spread your opinion. It is very helpful. We will discuss this on #iheartjrock 12/30. We especially look forward to knowing favorite movies, anime and video games.

Spinitron also have a log of all the songs DJ Sakura666 spun this year. We will have a countdown and also play 3 of your favorite songs for each of the following bands
#SixTONES (releases from 2023)
#WEST.(formerly JohnnysWEST) (releases from 2023)
#KingandPrince(releases from 2022, and below)
