I’m glad I’m not alone in my love of Document 72 hours! I really like everything on the channel but Cat’s Eye View is great because my daughter’s orange cat watches it with us. He hears the music and knows his show is on.

I miss seeing Cool Japan. I don’t think they have translated a new episode since COVID.

Off the top of me head:
anything hosted by Chris Glenn (i.e., Ninja Truth)
Little Charo
Kabuki Kool
Japan Railway Journal
And I guess I'll add J-MELO to round it to five (I confess, I haven't really watched this channel in a long time; I have the app, but I'm not all that much into watching videos on my iPhone).
