13720 (// 11945 // 15445 (both of these are far weaker) - 1720Z)
1720Z 35432 S6 OM speaking Japanese with music (classical?)
1741Z 35433 S7 OM speaking Japanese
1742Z 35433 S7 Music
1754Z 34433 S7 More music. Also some QRM 13723-13450. Bursts of noise then a sweeping tone. Bursts of noise of varying length. Luckily, 13710 went off at 1755, so switched to SAM+LSB to hear uninterrupted music.
1800Z 35433 S7 Time pips & OM talking in Japanese.
1803Z 35433 S7 OM still talking. The noise in the USB is gone (unknown if faded out or it stopped because top of the hour).
1808Z 35433 S7 More music. According to Shazam: 三波春夫 "チャンチキおけさ"  (Haruo Minami "Of tub Chanchiki")
1812Z 35433 S7 三波春夫 "トッチャカ人生"  /  Haruo Minami "Totchaka life"
1816Z 35433 S7 三波春夫 "大利根無情" / Haruo Minami  "Otone heartless"
1845Z 15431 S5 Signal has faded into the noise. Still can see a carrier & occasionally hear audio.

11945 kHz:
1845Z: 35433 S6 11945 is doing much better than 13720. 15445 is getting wiped out by a station on 15440)
1849Z: 35433 S6 三波春夫 "船方さんょ" / Haruo Minami "Funakata's Yo"
1900Z: Off air.
