What is r/JTV?

r/JTV is a place to find and share Japanese TV content and resources to easier follow Japanese TV shows regardless of where you live, and to share and find new interesting content to watch.

r/JTVとは？

「日本国外から日本のテレビが見れなくて困る」という方のためのサブレである。
r/JTVは日本の（日本製で日本人向けの）テレビ番組、またはその入手手段、を共有する場である。
※ドラマ、映画、アニメ、PV、コンサート、などは対象外

Is r/JTV for me?

If you don't know any Japanese there might be occasional posts of interest here, but they can be hard to find. You will likely find more content of interest at r/JapaneseGameShows.
r/JTV assumes that subscribers can read and understand Japanese, so subtitled content is rare.

If you like Japanese TV and know enough Japanese to follow along, you are likely to find content of interest here.

r/JTV is not a place to introduce Japanese TV to people who don't understand Japanese.

Content Guidelines

※ Content can be for example variety shows, comedy shows, manzai, rakugo, news, information shows, documentaries, interviews, talk shows, music shows, quiz shows, game shows, promotion for a drama/movie, sporting events, reality shows, etc..

◯ Japanese should be the only language required to understand the content.

◯ Content should be produced with the intention of airing on Japanese TV.

◯ Web content produced for a Japanese audience (by more or less professional producers) is also allowed as long as it's interesting and similar enough to TV content.

◯ Look at what other people are sharing, use your judgement, and ask if you are unsure.

◯ Subtitled content is allowed, but a raw source is preferred when possible, especially if the subtitled content is translating and covering original onscreen Japanese text.

× Avoid any dubbed or subbed content that was not originally produced for a Japanese audience.

× Avoid any non-Japanese content that was not originally produced for a Japanese audience.

× Avoid movies, drama shows, anime, concerts and music videos. These are not in scope for r/JTV, and most of them have their own subreddits.

Submission Guidelines

Full content (as opposed to a single segment from a show) is encouraged.
Newer content is encouraged, but older content is also welcome.
Try to avoid links that are region blocked or require registration.
Mirror links are welcome and encouraged both as top posts and as comments to existing posts.
Crossposting is encouraged.

Submission Naming

Please include detailed relevant information in the title when possible, such as type of content, appearing guests, and subtitle language when applicable.
Please use bracket tags in the post title to describe content when possible. Look at other posts and use what you find appropriate.
If you know the air date please put this in the title. To make this consistent it should be put at the beginning of the title as a bracket tag, like [150131].

General Guidelines

If you find a dead link please add a comment, or message the OP or the mods so they can mark it as down.
If a link you have posted goes down, you can add link flair to show that it's down.
Avoid any and all spoilers!

Please do not downvote submissions

※ This is to not discourage people from posting.

If you don't like a post, then upvote another post that you do like instead, or post something yourself.

If you think that something doesn't belong or goes against the guidelines, then please make a nice comment or send a message to the mods.
