Watch Japanese TV streamed live for free
Learning Japanese? Miss living in Japan? Want to see the latest Japanese TV shows?
Wish you could watch Japanese TV live, streamed right to your desktop for free? Your prayers have been answered. There’s Keyhole TV which works well but has a small screen or you can use Microsoft Media Player to view live TV via MMS streaming links listed here.
On both sites you can popular channels such as TV Tokyo, TBS, Fuji TV, TV Asahi, NTV, YTV, MBS, TV Osaka, NHK, WOWOW and more. Watch all your favorite J-dorama’s, Jpop, wacky game shows, innovative kids tv, Japanese TV commercials, anime and otaku shows and late night TV shows.

For the MMS streaming, use Microsoft windows media player to play it. Its a large screen and depending on the quality of the stream and bandwidth its pretty good.

Thank you! I knew some Japanese TV was on the internet, but never knew quite where to look.

Hi everybody
Can someone please tell me how to get the mms streams to work?
I have tried clicking on the links in the page but nothing happens!!! just a blank page. The info above says “or you can use Microsoft Media Player to view live TV via MMS streaming links listed here”
I have WMP installed but clicking on the links does not seem to start the player automatically…nothing happens.
Any tips please?
Thanks

@Gareth, seems the MMS streams don’t work anymore, they did last year. I use Keyhole TV that works fine. If you have a buddy in Japan, you can ask him to use Veetle to stream whatever he is watching to you.

Thanks for that Jamie. I do have kehole TV but as you know the quality is pretty bad with lots of dropouts, not to mention the extra small screen.
I don’t mean to whinge, but has anyone noticed how pathetic the internet side of tv broadcasting is in Japan? Like, NHK is one of the most amazing broadcasters when it comes to their programs in Japan, but there is very little that can be watched online. Pathetic, really. US and Australian tv public broadcasters I’m familiar with have a website for each program they put on air which you can watch online in very good quality, sometimes HD. Very little of that in Japan it seems, including the commercial stations. If anyone has any info on good quality stuff one can watch online, I would really appreciate it.
Cheers
