Announced on the 2022-10-31 Aqours stream, this event stars YYY (You, Yoshiko, and rubY), presumably with both a radio recording part and live performance part.

The full title is way too long, as usual for radio events: "Love Live! Sunshine!! Aqours Uranohoshi Jogakuin RADIO!!! JMA Shucchou Housoukyoku ~Babu Sotsu Daishuugou! Radio to Live de Waiwaiwai~". I pity whoever has to translate the main part of the title.
