Family-friendly versions
For households or environments where adult content should be excluded, use the JP_Safe playlists (191 channels — same as above with the 5 adult channels removed):
https://gitflic.ru/project/reaperc/jp-iptv/blob/raw?file=JP_Safe.m3u
Or with categories:
https://gitflic.ru/project/reaperc/jp-iptv/blob/raw?file=JP_Safe_Categories.m3u
No VPN versions
For users outside Japan who don’t have a VPN or geo-routing service, use the JP_NoVPN playlists (105 channels — all geo-locked channels removed):
https://gitflic.ru/project/reaperc/jp-iptv/blob/raw?file=JP_NOVPN.m3u
Or with categories:

FAST channels
The playlist includes 18 free ad-supported (FAST) channels from fastv.jp, marked with “(FAST)” in their display names and distributed into the relevant categories. All have EPG coverage via the karenda source. Note: FAST channels are geo-locked to Japan and are not included in the JP_NoVPN playlists.
EPG
The playlist references four EPG sources directly in its header — your player will automatically load and merge them:
- Karenda (primary) —
https://github.com/karenda-jp/etc/raw/refs/heads/main/guides.xml
Covers terrestrial, BS, most CS, Rakuten streaming channels (rch_XX IDs), FAST channels (fastch_v2_XX IDs), and ABEMA channels - mathlabroom —
https://github.com/mathlabroom/SKyperfectv-EPG-/releases/download/latest/epg_ultimate.xml
Active SkyPerfecTV scraper with rich Japanese descriptions for CS channels - akariko —
http://akariko.netgenx.site/epg/kai-epg.xml
Covers terrestrial and BS channels as a fallback - animenosekai —
https://animenosekai.github.io/japanterebi-xmltv/guide.xml
Covers NHK World-Japan and provides additional fallback data for terrestrial, BS, and CS channels
These sources are automatically loaded by IPTV players that read the url-tvg header.
If your player doesn't auto-load EPG Sources, add them manually in your player's EPG settings.
Stream sources
Streams come from a mix of:
akariko.netgenx.site— akariko 1080p restreams (99 channels — terrestrial, BS, and most CS)ds-linear-abematv.akamaized.net— ABEMA preview streams (37 channels — geo-locked to Japan)livetv.fastv.jp— FAST channel streams (18 channels)cdn-*.tsv2.amagi.tvand*.akamaized.net— Rakuten streams (Rakuten-exclusive channels only)live.livingtv.live/live.livingjtv.live— BS Yoshimoto, Dlife, Me-Tele Next, Music Airmedia-tyo.hls.nhkworld.jp— NHK’s official CDN (NHK World-Japan)cdns.jp-primehome.com— primehome restreams (1 channel: Kids Station)
Some streams are geo-restricted to Japan. If you’re outside Japan, you’ll need a Japanese VPN, residential proxy, or service like ControlD with JP routing to access them. NHK World-Japan is available globally without restrictions.
If a channel won’t play, try clearing your player’s cache. Streams occasionally rotate URLs.
Geo-routing with ControlD
105 of 196 channels work globally without a VPN (all akariko, primehome, livingtv, and NHK World streams). The remaining 91 channels (Rakuten, FAST, ABEMA, NEW KPOP) are geo-locked to Japan.
If you use ControlD, add these 7 domains as custom rules routed through a Japanese proxy:
| Domain | Channels |
|---|---|
cdn-apne1.tsv2.amagi.tv |
Rakuten streams |
cdn-uw2-prod.tsv2.amagi.tv |
Rakuten streams |
rch01e-alive-hls.akamaized.net |
Rakuten streams (QVC, GSTV, Weather News) |
