Hiroe and Rieko. Hiroe and her daugher Haruna. After waiting about 30 minutes trying to catch a ride back home, I heard a voice in the distance that seemed to be calling out, but I couldn't see anyone. I walked further up the side of the road in the direction of the traffic and I saw two ladies in a parking lot who seemed to be waiting for me. I walked up to one of them and she asked me where I wanted to go. Their names are Hiroe and Rieko and are both FM radio station announcers. The driver, Hiroe, said that she would be on the air the next day at 10AM, and so I set my schedule alarm to turn in to her broadcast. The first thing Hiroe talked about was picking an American hitchhiker by the name of James! See another photo of Hiroe on the radio station's web page. (Japanese) Hiroe's daughter Haruna was with her.
