I was trying to watch some of Hachi/Kenshi Yonezu's videos earlier and it says it's unavailable in my country.

08yakari is hachi (you can see it on the url on the channel). You can search it up on google and the youtube link sends you directly to his channel.

As to why this is happening, I'm not sure.

I know vgperson got her account removed because of subbing his videos, but do you think that's related to it?

On an unrelated channel, all of U/M/A/A videos are blocked too even though they recently uploaded Sasakure.UK's Teto song 18 hours ago (and I thought I saw it in my subscription feed earlier today).

Might be a coincidence that it's happening around the same timeframe...

Edit: Okay the video is still in my subscription feed regardless, but weird that two channels are being blocked worldwide...

What? How? I was just watching a video on that channel a couple of hours ago. I'm worried, now.

I just checked, I think Supercell's videos are being taken down as well.

Not to mention, EXIT TUNE's taking down Heisei Project videos that has Album exclusive White Noise songs.

Is Google stepping up the copyright game?

[Eenkin]

Exit tunes are blocking the Bad End Night series (but hitoshizuku x yama's channel's official uploads are fine)

In fact, all of Exit Tunes' Youtube channel videos are blocked as well.

[Melange Gel]

Just be Friends, including all covers, is blocked as well.

[アメ・ノ・オト]

They're all blocked from the US, from what I checked.

Is Google on crack?

I don't understand why they wouldn't let us watch them, though, how is it infringing on anyone's rights if it's on an official channel?

Edit: Maybe it's that auto-flag system or something? None of the producers have said anything about removing content on YT.

SOME GOOD NEWS

It seems the official Miku Channel, and the IAPROJECT Channel, and Mitchie M's channel are all okay.

[アメ・ノ・オト]

I have no idea, to be honest but if EXIT TUNES decides to take the modern Nintendo route and region-block every Vocaloid cover, I just-

I still blame Google but if anyone can dig up on why things started happening, it'd be nice.

[Amero]

Can still watch Donut hole on YouTube and Just be Friends on NND. They may not be blocked in Australia, which is good if you know how to change your YouTube region.

[アメ・ノ・オト]

Changing YouTube region doesn't help.

It seems NND still works.

I wanna know when the world will realize that drm and copyright protection measures, at least as they are now, do more to punish and annoy the people who actually follow the rules than deter piracy. Blocking videos and making DVDs, video games, and the like isn't going to stop the people who really wanna pirate it from doing so; it only makes it harder for those of us who want to do it the right way to, well, doing just that. I'd almost go as far as to say it might drive some people to piracy because it gets to a point where pirating things is easier than actually buying them or going through hoops to view it legally.

just be friends isn't working for me, but it's covers are, donut hole seems to be working too. hopefully google is just being dumb.
