Funami FM (Japanese: フナミFM) is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto 2. It is hosted by Teriyaki-chan (voiced by Saiko Yoshida) and plays experimental drum and bass and acid techno.
Description[]
Funami can only be heard in the Downtown District of Anywhere City, which is also the location of their main headquarters. It is hosted by Teriyaki-chan, often screaming hysterically in Japanese (with a few phrases in English), with her voice often being sped up and slowed down. The imaging voice of the station is a man who speaks English with a Japanese accent.
The station plays drum and bass/breaks often featuring the Roland TB-303, known for its acid sound. As such, this genre can be called acid drum and bass. Some tracks however are slower in tempo, lack breakbeats and are more techno-oriented. Teriyaki-chan mentions that Funami FM recently switched to playing this type of music and asks for her listeners' feedback on it.
"Funami" (usually written as 船見 or 舟見) is a common family surname or town name.
Funami is the preferred station of the Yakuza gang.

During the intro of "Flymutha" by Toys Are Real[]
"This is me from Funami FM, somehow I'm here, Teriyaki-chan! Oh, it makes me feel sick, it's irritating, isn't it? This bad weather, bad traffic and bad crime! Stop fooling around, who do you think we are?! And you can't never tell if a Yakuza is friend or foe, really... Astonishing?! Johnny Zoo and Danny Zoo have both become car-criminals, this computer game is starting to become shitty... Is this really fun at all?!"[1]
Towards the end of "Flymutha" by Toys Are Real[]
"So, I will play a new record now! It's such a pleasant day, really... it is quite hot though, now! Pull up the song next!"[1]

"Stop fooling around, who do you think we are?! Who knows whether a Yakuza gangster is a friend or a foe?! Good song next one!"[1]
