NHK on Youtube

[Michael Kerpan]

Aren't almost all Japanese marketing decision of this sort stupid these days?

I've been stunned by the virtually total disappearance of English subs on Japanese DVDs (even Shochiku dropped subs on Yoji Yamada's new film -- after including subs for almost 10 years on new YY films).

Mark Schilling reports on Variety that.....
NHK Enterprises, a subsid of pubcaster NHK that sells and acquires programming, is partnering with YouTube Japan to offer NHK programs on the site free of charge.The programs on offer include popular NHK dramas and educational shows.The service, called NHK Program Collection, launched on Monday with 200 uncut shows, as well as 30 three-minute edited highlights from programs, with new content to be added regularly. It can only be viewed on PCs in Japan, though it may expand to cell phones as well.Not offering it globally is simply stupid.
