Welcome back to IHEARTJROCK! This amazing episode was recorded live in the Valley Free Radio studios on July 6th, right in the midst of the month-long celebration following Independence Day on July 4th. The atmosphere was filled with joy, with cities and neighbors joining in the festivities. In this episode, we had a blast celebrating birthdays! Mo Metal, Gackt, and Akihide all marked their special days this month. Not to mention the exciting new jrock and jpop releases, along with the 80s, 90s, and Silent Time segments. It was an absolutely fantastic time!
