Visuals:

Startup: The logo starts with a drawing of several buildings at night, with the signs of the buidings illuminating. The sky then starts to become cloudy with the colors of the buildings becoming more noticeable as the lights flash on and off. Suddenly, a yellow gust of wind moves over the buildings before moving back. It later cuts to another group of buildings with a light yellow sky. One of the gray buildings has the red text "RNB" over it, possibly representing the station's headquarters, which is next to another building with a satellite dish. As the sun rises, the colors of the buildings change, with the RNB building becoming yellow, the building next to it becoming gray, the satellite dish becoming yellow, and the sky fading to dark blue. Ovals with a white outline then emit out of the dish. Finally, the white characters "南海放送" with a black outline appear one-by-one while the ovals continue to emit.
