Shin'ya Waku (深夜枠, "Late Night Broadcast Slot"), also known by its English title The Midnight Broadcasting is a compilation album by Japanese rock band Tokyo Jihen, released on August 29, 2012. It predominantly compiled B-sides from the band's singles, as well as a DVD exclusive song and a previously unreleased song, "Tadanaranu Kankei".

In early 2012, vocalist Ringo Sheena announced that the band would disband, after releasing their final extended play Color Bars and performing their farewell tour Bon Voyage in February 2012. In February 2012, the band released Tokyo Collection, a compilation of the band's songs performed live at different events and tours the band undertook.

The album was first announced on June 15, 2012, along with the band's DVD Chin Play Kō Play, released on the same date. In 2008, Sheena had released a similar B-side compilation, Watashi to Hōden, for her 10th anniversary celebrations.

The album's artwork was produced by Aki of the anime producers collective Nein. Sheena gave the character the name Muteki-chan (むてきちゃん, "Invincible-chan").

The band released 11 B-sides between 2004 and 2007 (their 2010 digital single "Tengoku e Yōkoso / Dopa-mint!" and 2011 single "Sora ga Natteiru / Onna no Ko wa Dare Demo" did not feature any). Of these, only two were entirely written and composed by vocalist Ringo Sheena: "Kokoro" and "Rakujitsu". Three songs were pianist Ichiyo Izawa's compositions: "Pinocchio", "Gaman" and "Kaban no Nakami", while two were guitarist Ukigumo's: "BB.Queen" and "Karada". The song "Kao" was composed by the band's original guitarist Mikio Hirama, and is a vocal duet with him.

Three of the songs were covers of American songs. "Sono Onna Fushidara ni Tsuki" is a cover of the 1937 standard "The Lady Is a Tramp". "Dynamite" is a cover of the 1957 song by Brenda Lee, and "Koi wa Maboroshi (Get It Up for Love)" is a cover of a Ned Doheny's song from his 1976 album Hard Candy. All of these songs were performed in English.
