“This is terrible news…” Outcry as Japan vs. Brazil match won’t be on terrestrial NHK. “Are you serious?” Some, however, say, “I’ll watch on BS because Honda’s commentary is good.” [World Cup]

On June 25th (local time), the Japan national soccer team drew 1-1 against Sweden in their third group stage match of the North/Central American World Cup, securing a 2nd place finish in Group F. It has been decided that they will face Brazil in the Round of 32.

“Honda-ism” was once again in full effect during this match. Keisuke Honda, who appeared as a commentator on NHK General TV for his third consecutive World Cup, has become a fan favorite since the last tournament for his unique vocabulary and insight when breaking down field events and plays.

Let’s gooooo!

Why BS? Just put it on regular TV, damn it.
6: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:27:02.96 ID:A0E3AALV0
Heads up, NHK won’t be streaming the Brazil match either. It’s either TV or the crappy DAZN stream.

Does Fuji have Tver?
7: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:27:20.57 ID:82TqUTSR0
Just watch it on DAZN, man.
8: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:27:28.55 ID:/hoBy6e60
Who even is Shinji Ono?
9: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:27:40.37 ID:lzCx+Xnq0
Fuji is so stupid, they should’ve snatched the rights like NTV did.
11: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:28:02.02 ID:dwNgfmAx0
Are there people who actually can’t watch BS unless it’s raining?
12: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:28:06.39 ID:gQq3rQ6+0
What are they doing with our license fees?!
13: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:28:23.65 ID:HDmOlXes0
I actually prefer Shinji Ono over Honda, he sounds calmer.
15: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:28:28.18 ID:vsgyNfex0
Ono mumbles too much though.
16: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:28:31.80 ID:LQc7KuIe0
DAZN is delayed, and the video quality is trash.
20: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:29:30.60 ID:+q0HYIhk0
If Fuji wasn’t going to let Honda commentate, they should’ve just handed it to NTV or NHK. I wanted to see Honda’s commentary.
21: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:30:01.24 ID:m+oilIPE0
It’s the end anyway.
22: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:30:04.35 ID:82TqUTSR0
I don’t even need commentary.
26: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:30:24.39 ID:0gEw32C90
“Are you serious?” it’s like this every time. NHK terrestrial only covers 2 group stage matches.
28: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:30:49.94 ID:MExo+mIW0
Shinji Ono for Japan’s last match… well, that’s fine.
29: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:30:52.19 ID:mLz7Xicj0
Fuji TV is dead. They have no connections other than ancient former players like Ono and Inamoto. They’ve just devolved into a station obsessed with baseball and Korea.
31: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:31:11.24 ID:yFzjPJDb0
The refs are probably just going to make Keito Nakamura take off his headband again. NHK probably can’t show that kind of FIFA “corruption” on terrestrial TV.
33: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:31:35.77 ID:tf2JaG4V0
They all bought the broadcasting rights including private channels.
34: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:31:42.79 ID:hxKC3m6k0
Everyone gather in Odaiba, not Shibuya.
36: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:31:58.09 ID:+E49yRyR0
Private channels mean commercials, though.
37: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:31:59.12 ID:+q0HYIhk0
I like Ono, but Honda’s World Cup commentary is the best.
39: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:32:39.44 ID:/U/6n5jx0
Shinji Ono remembers 2006, after all. Might as well call up Tamada too.
41: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:32:52.41 ID:0NauveFk0
I hate watching BS because NHK sends you a BS subscription notice afterward.
44: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:33:15.01 ID:h8G0d9Fr0
They said “If you don’t like it, don’t watch,” so I’ll watch on BS.
48: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:33:32.17 ID:qNOWi63x0
Fuji again? Read the room.
49: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:33:32.83 ID:MK0yk+n+0
A 2 AM kickoff in a nation of 50-year-olds?

That’s TOUGH.

As long as they aren’t annoying, who cares who the commentator is?
64: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:35:00.50 ID:j6S55qal0
They should show it so the kids can watch.
74: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:36:45.72 ID:V4UtBmDD0
Japan never loses when Fuji broadcasts the World Cup.
76: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:36:53.82 ID:3GOf1IGj0
It’s annoying with the Kansai dialect, I can’t stand it, please stop.
84: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:37:34.98 ID:sIt+BsZT0
Fuji is doing terrestrial? I hate it, they’re going to pull some unnecessary crap again.
87: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/06/28(Sun) 00:37:54.53 ID:avb6rjLP0
The bottom left graphic is annoying, I’ll watch it while playing back a recording.
