NHK on Youtube

[Kerim Yasar]

I've tried a number of VPN services and had the best experience with Overplay.net. $10/month gets you access to multiple servers in a number of countries, including Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, the US, and most of Europe. They also have an application you can download that spares you the trouble of entering in all the VPN server information manually.

The 3rd party issues are major, but having once subscribed to Japan TV, I was always annoyed at how NHK seemed to make little effort to get rights for other forms of distribution such as Japan TV. You'd watch the NHK news and once the sports started, the screen would be blank for most of the section because they hadn't gotten rights from Japanese baseball or soccer. I can understand blanking out parts of American major league baseball, but Japanese baseball?

I should also note that some American networks are already localizing their content. When I was in Japan, for instance, NBC would not let me watch their content (unless I used my Yale proxy server).

That said, does anyone know of good proxy servers you can use to disguise your computer as a Japanese one?
