Although I haven’t tried it, there are streaming options for Jpn TV that may or may not be legit. I have a friend who gets Japanese TV via sling box.
Someone who has some interest in Japanese culture (but doesn’t speak the language) asked me if there’s any Japanese drama I recommend. It’s hard to know if I can recommend anything because a couple of Americans I know who used to live in Jpn totally trash Japanese dramas even though, as a Japanese, I think they’re great.
