TV in Japan - Best Of The Summer + New Summer Music!

So yes, it’s been a long time since I did this. How long? Well let’s just say that an entire season has now passed. Therefore, I need to get much better about doing this.

One note before getting onto the goods: Often these videos are taken down from YT or Daily Motion or where ever I get them from. Therefore, I’m only going to post stuff here that still exists.

With that - onto the goods!

I would love to access TV Tokyo in the states. Any chance, ever, that it could go satellite on DirecTV or Dish Network?

I would so love that as well, Radical. The biggest issue is with Japanese talent agencies who can be almost as crazy as mafia members.
