What is Annoyingly Changing on Viki

I read somewhere else on the Discussions that it’s hard these days to get licenses for Japanese shows.

Yes, it was here: Dudie’s post:

Would love to see more Jdrama on Viki. But I heard the license process for Japanese content is complicated. Not for Viki alone but in general Japan likes to keep things more for themselves so getting a license is hard and most likely when they are willing to give a license they ask a lot of money and come with a set of rules which might not work out. As for limited Japanese subs, I have a channel where eventually the Japanese subs where locked because the content owner did request it.

It was also discussed on this thread, that also includes a list of great j-dramas

8 months ago, I asked for " 5→9 From Five to Nine" and here is the answer I got:

Currently, we aren’t involved in any content licensing for Japanese shows.
However, we’re always trying to diversity our content!
If we are able to secure content licensing for Japanese shows in the future, we will let you know.
