St. GIGA

Satellite Digital Audio Broadcast Co., Ltd. , trading as St.GIGA , was a Japanese satellite radio company headquartered in Akasaka, Tokyo. The company was established on 2 April 1990 as a subsidiary of the television station provider WOWOW, achieving a cult following through its "Tide of Sound" nature sounds recording broadcasts and its nonstandard methodology. By 1994, St.GIGA was struggling financially due to Japan's economic stagnation affecting the demand for its ambient music, as consumers became reluctant to invest in satellite tuners.
