I used to look forward to watching Fuji Television's Japanese-language newscasts in the morning, but the broadcast has come to an end. As I get older, Japanese TV is pleasant to my ears, regardless of the quality of the content. If anyone knows of a way to watch Japanese language news in the U.S., please let me know!

The University of Tsukuba has a VPN that you can use for free. It is a little tricky to connect, but I always use it to watch TVer.

https://www.vpngate.net/ja/howto_openvpn.aspx

I use SoftEther VPN Client.

Thank you Moja2😊

Is this something I have to do every time ？ I don't understand it at a glance and I think I will fail before I start💦

I'm grateful that it is free to use and I will try my best but what you wrote seems a bit difficult😅😅 I'll try my best, but what it says seems a bit difficult 😅.

In my case, I only connect to a VPN when I want to watch TVer or Japanese Amapura, and disconnect it when I'm done.
The trick is to choose a VPN from the list that has a speed of 100Mbps or more, and to choose a VPN that does not have "public" at the beginning. Also, sometimes the connection is lost in the middle, so you have to reconnect to another VPN. Well, anyway, it's free, so I'm willing to overlook a few inconveniences.

I want to watch Japanese TV programs, but recently I can't watch the free ones, so I switched to Jme, but I can't watch most of the variety shows.
What kind of sites do you subscribe to ？ Are you able to watch variety shows ？ Please let me know.

① Straightforward bragging type
This type wants to brag directly and straightforwardly. They are the type who, without being asked, reveal their educational background, annual income, the name of the company they work for, or talk about their knowledge, saga, or trivia. …
② The type that mounts up by showing off their knowledge and background and saying "I'm so great"
The type that talks in a way that at first glance does not seem like bragging and then says "No, no, you are great enough. The type who wants to be told, "No, no, it's great enough. For example: 1. "Well, I was so busy with work that I only slept for 3 hours last night..." 2. "I have only traveled abroad ？ to Hawaii, Bali, and Australia ….

A certain thing from a certain country is available on the Internet for about $100
You can watch TV, movies, and animations from all over the world as much as you want. The movies are a little older, but you can also watch Japanese movies that were popular at the time.
There are about 20 TV channels in Japanese. If I write more, I will be erased ？.

The best way to find a movie is to find a movie you want to see.
It's not something that someone else tells you to watch. Can I watch the Tora-san series for free? I have downloaded and saved all of them because they used to be on the internet for free.

While there are many Japanese who think like Topy, the demand for Japanese roles is quite low.
In the end, I think it is normal, not targeted and tough.

It is not that easy to get a role because many Asian actors apply for the role of a Japanese actor. Some people get their chance by joining a production company, auditioning, and working as extras. The guy Ototsuan is talking about also had to work very hard to get the role.

Otoko-an says he had to work very hard to get the role, but unfortunately he has returned to Japan now. He wrote a blog for 17 years from 2000, so I think it will be helpful. You can read about the hardships of Hollywood.

＞ I heard that there are not many people playing Japanese roles in the American film industry, so they are targeted ・ ・ ・

It is too shallow to think that Chinese or Korean actors are "playing Japanese roles because there are not many Japanese people".
Do you know what it means that the main geisha role in Memoir of Geisha was not Japanese ？
Many Hollywood entertainment film people do not want "Japanese in Japanese roles".

If you want to have a successful career as an actor in Hollywood, English-American conversation （ language skills ） are a must.
If you just want to be "famous", anything is possible ？

Luck, connections （ good agent etc ）, talent, all are necessary.
