"NHK Radio Calisthenics." Every summer morning, parks across Japan fill with children, parents, and elderly residents performing Radio Calisthenics (ラジγ‚ͺ体操) together. The exercises have been broadcast for nearly a century, and many Japanese people can perform them from memory. For some, it's one of the first routines they repeat every day.
