TBS
TBS is a Japanese broadcast television network that broadcasts a selection of Japanese TV programs, including some raw Japanese TV programs that do not yet have English subtitles. Learning about Japanese culture, honing your language skills, and keeping up with current events in Japan can all be accomplished by watching Japanese television programs.
You can either watch TBS broadcast channels on TV or use its streaming service, TBS On Demand, to see its programming. Both free and paid subscription plans are available through TBS On Demand, with the latter providing access to unique material and the capacity to stream programs without interruptions.
Dramas like "Hanzawa Naoki" and "Aibo," variety shows like "Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai" and "A-Studio," and sports coverage like the yearly New Year's Day sumo tournament are some of the most well-liked TBS productions.
You could notice cultural differences and distinctive features of Japanese media while watching Japanese TV programs, such as the frequent use of on-screen text and graphics, the use of formal language in news broadcasts, and the stylized acting in dramas. Additionally, certain performances could use specialist language or regional dialects that non-native speakers might find difficult to understand. Overall, immersing yourself in Japanese language and culture through TBS's Japanese TV programming may be fun and educational.
