Asides from that, the station would also help Guam residents to learn Japanese language and culture.In late 2006, KIJI began programming a Rhythmic/Dance oldies format that they tout on-air as "Retro Radio", which features classic party tunes from the 1970s and 1980s, including rare club tracks that hasn't been played anywhere since the early days of Rhythmic and Dance radio. The format proved to be a favorite with listeners, resulting in KIJI going full-time with the format.
