Have you ever heard of Rajio taiso? In Japan, it is an institution.
Rajio Taiso (ラジオ 体操), which means "the radio gymnastics" is a rhythmic music played on the radio and television to encourage the Japanese to do their morning exercises.
The "Rajio taiso" (exercise radio) on NHK in 1928, created by the postal insurance system "Kampo" with the help of experts to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Hirohito, known posthumously as Emperor Showa.
This exercise program six minutes takes place in Japan twice a day: in the morning and again at 15:00 the music is played on the radio. School students, workers in factories and offices, and people in the parks stop practicing. The government hopes that this will help people have more energy, be healthier and feel more in tune with each other.
After Japan's defeat in 1945, radio was banned by the occupation, because of their natural faculties too militaristic.
