I stumbled upon this just now. Just open up the link. Nothing to install. It's catching whatever episode is replaying right now on Fuji TV in Japan. There's a tv show directory in English you can access at the site.
The link is at times a bit unstable, and unfortunately, I'm not sure you can get rid of that sidebar with people CHATTING away...so distracting. But, we're able to watch Japanese tv in real time, for those of us who can't access KeyHoleTV.

Hi fellow mac users! XD This website is really REALLY cool! I was shocked to see last friends playing! (Despite not watching it, it was still exciting... I'm easily excited, LOL)

I'm watching the ads now & looked more closely at the translated program. It is an encore, but I didn't watch last friends since ep1 so... what ep is this, does any one know?

there's actually this player called TVU Player which is awesome! lets you view lots of other channels including japanese channels. i've used it a couple of times to watch MS and Itte Q. there's almost no buffering if your internet speed is quite fast and quality is passable. i have heard of people saying they sometimes encounter problems such as being unable to find the channels though.

best part? it's in english, has a category called Japanese Channels, allows u to add channels to your fav list AND you can view it in full screen. :)

have i sold this player well? :D

you can download it at their website. http://pages.tvunetworks.com/index.html

read their 'how to watch' guide as well. :)

nope, sorry. im not using Mac. but from googling, doesn't seem like it would. anyway, take a look at this. here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=249075) scroll to the last post. seems like there's some thing u download to make it work on Mac. there's still plenty of time for you to try it out.

I'm pretty sure TVU doesn't work on macs unless they've changed the application recently.

*checks on the website* Nope, still need Windows (http://pages.tvunetworks.com/downloads/player.html). Although maybe if you have Wine or something similar installed it'll work -- time to do some experimenting!

Sure thing.

I'm fooling around to see if I can get Darwine to work with it right now -- Darwine is a free, open-source Windows simulator, that lets you run .exe files on the Mac OS. The program is working with it -- I'm trying to see if it'll work with the Mac version of WMP or if I need to download the Windows version and port that as well.

TVU Player is really great but yeah lately the channels don't show up. I was thinking it may be happening whenever there are too many users.

But this one too i think that it doesn't work on a Mac since you need WMP right?

i have no idea why they don't showed up cuz i never had that problem when i wanted to watch some shows. the only time i had this problem was a couple of days ago when i remembered i could watch Code Blue on it and wanted to add the Fuji channel to my favs for easy access. but now it works fine for me.

at the time i accessed and got the error, it was about 3am in Japan. so i thought perhaps there's nothing airing on those channels at that time so there isn't a point to stream it hence the error.

I actually like this player because it doesn't get delayed. But it's just for Fuji TV right?

And yes this is an old epi of LF. Great opportunity to watch it again o:

thanks for the all the info on these amazing programs that allow you to watch channels from other countries in real-time. i'm from malaysia so the channels that i can watch are very limited. i used keyholeTV but the video quality and sound is really bad. its good to know that there are alternatives :D

say, for keyholetv,
how do you know which channels are which?
from what i read from the channels,
they're kind of just stating the places in japan :O

Thanks for this. I also downloaded TVU, and I'm watching 'Zettai Kareshi' right now, hehe. This is awesome. And I watched a show about an Argentinian woman married to a Japanese, who was trying to make oyakodon for the first time, one of his favourite Japanese sishes. It was cute. I'm going to be watching Japanese TV every day now. Thank you so much!
