I'm using NordVPN and it's been working with Abema so far. Unfortunately it can get kind of expensive (12 USD for 1 month), but I think you can cancel within 30 days and get your money back. I don't know of any free VPNs that work with Abema.
I recommend SoftEtherVPN. It’s free and works every time. Make sure to download the VPN Gate Client with a plugin. Choose from the add relay servers connection without “public” in the name and you are good to go. I suggest line speed >100 for smooth streaming. Hope this helps
Just sharing my experiences- managed to watch the 7th live earlier today after hours of frustration.
Unfortunately Abematv is a pain in a** and seems to update their firewalls often because VPN's that worked in the past may not work at all later.
I used NordVPN this time around and it worked.
Some other VPNS I tried this time that didn't work- Surfshark, NetflixVPN (used to work during the 6th live, this time seemed to give an eternal loading screen and then stopped working), SoftEtherVPN didn't work for me either I'm afraid (although I didn't try all the servers- only like 5-6 or so)
PandaVPN worked for the 6th live and then stopped working by March. Tried expressVPN during 6th live too and it doesn't work.
I’ve been using ExpressVPN and NetflixVPN (I got linked to the netflix vpn on a post about Abema blocking most common VPNs, I can try to find it to send to you if you’d like) and I was able to log in to watch the show about 1min after it ended. If you bought the ticket on Abema I thiiiink it should let you watch it for up to a week after the actual live show, so as long as you can get the VPN set up in that time you should be good
Good job but you gotta get the red gloves my man. Maybe these?
In order to listen to Hypnosis Mic music on Spotify while living outside of Japan, you'll have to use a VPN to change your account location to Japan (this link. It won't work with a premium Spotify account so you'll have to use a free one. The VPN I used was TunnelBear since you only need to turn it on for a minute to change your location, you don't need to leave it on to stream the music in Spotify.
