Abstract
The vol.1 of this report overviewed how Japan’s transcribed broadcasts were launched during the war and developed along with the war, and analyzed Byoin Sen [hospital boat] that was broadcast in May 1941 to see its completion level as a transcribed program.In the vol.2, the author first listens to a radio program Honkon Koryakusen [attack on Hong Kong]. Programs recorded by staff dispatched to battle fields were called “front-line recording.” Among such programs, Honkon Koryakusen was the first to have solid “structure.” As the Japanese troops continued to advance victoriously, this new method, “structure,” seemed to have unlimited potential towards the bright future.However, the evolution of transcribed programs during the war was not eternal. Before long, it lost its luster and turned to merely propaganda programs.
