Key Points
1放送委員 = the school broadcasting committee
- In this scene, 放送 means announcements or audio being sent out over the school’s speaker system, so 放送委員 is the committee in charge of that broadcasting work.
2Casual spoken form: 好きな音楽(を)流したい
- In natural speech, the object marker を is often omitted, so 好きな音楽流したい is a casual shortening of 好きな音楽を流したい.
