One of the things I had mentioned in the past was how great it is to be able to tune into my radio stations back home on the internet. Up until now Japanese radio stations have been noticeably absent online.
Finally it's possible!
Radiko allows you to listen to quite a few Japanese radio stations with the ease of your internet connection.
Knowing the Japanese, the portal probably restricts users to Japanese IP addresses. Being in Japan this is a little hard to test out myself. If anyone outside the "centre of the universe" wants to give this a try, I'd like to know if it works for you.

Doesn't work from Australia :(
Why does that not surprise me?
That's a real shame. I'm sure they're saying it's some kind of a licensing issue, and restricting IPs outside of Japan in a way like Pandora does. It looks like if you want to hear some Japanese music from the outside Youtube is the only place for now.
It even doesn't work from Aomori. Apparently they restrict it to Tokyo and Osaka only...
But it works from anywhere with a Jailbroken iPhone
i tried tuning in from poland and it seems to work just fine except for a sound error popping out all the time. dont know who to fix it tho
This is a great work around for the geoblocking.

Works from Australia :-)
Interesting video! Doesn't look like it's for Mac though. I would think if you found a Japanese proxy, and manually added it to Firefox it would do the same thing as this too.
