Thanks for getting in touch. You might be surprised by what pops up, but you would be most likely to hear music from anime from time to time in our weekly screen sounds program.ab.co/2KOfkOH

You're very welcome. How did they go with this problem of the WASO concert recording links cutting out at 2.5 hrs, any luck? The old links have expired, so hopefully there are new links...

Hi David - the audio was corrected, however we are only able to keep audio available for 30 days after broadcast for rights reasons, and so this concert audio expired some time ago. Our apologies if this expired before you were able to listen to it.
