If you want to watch all the sumo events for free -in English- this app is great. They have both the live unedited but also have daily recaps.

I reside in Kaneohe, Hawaii and watch many NHK shows. My absolute favorite is My Street Piano. I love the people who play because they’re everyday people and they do bring joy to the world when they play. Thank you and Happy New Year to All!

What a great news service and always has interesting specials to keep reminding you of how much variety there is in the world! I never paid my NHK fees while living in Japan (I accidentally answered the door once and my Japanese girlfriend told them I was a tourist lol), so this being a free service internationally is really a treat. Great service! ありがとうNHKさん What a great news service and always has interesting specials to keep reminding you of how much variety there is in the world!

Great documentaries and interesting programming, plus the news are very balanced and not biased like other networks. I love watching the Sumo tournament, amazing! My only request is please bring to functioning order the Spanish subtitles please, they sometimes don’t work :( Awesomeness! Love NHK!

Hello. Long time ago I was in Yokosuka Naval Base after a tough day at the office; a Marine CH 46 and ended my tour at Atsugi. I have worked in the private sector as a Project Manager which often involved competing with Japanese firms and have great respect for them. So, make a long story not any longer, why is the vaccination rate in Japan below 20% with the Olympic Games beginning in July and why is there little reporting on NHK ? Are their other interests whose priorities benefit from discouraging the games and why am I not seeing this issue on your news? COVID-19 VACCINATION RATES Hello.
