4U. LINE LIVE update
Tatsumi Yudai did 4U's 2nd LINE LIVE broadcast yesterday.
It was basically entirely a talk session with Tatsumi reacting to comments and telling anecdotes and such. The feeling is sort of like having a web chat with Tatsumi.
Archived broadcasts are now posted on Johnny's net instead of their LINE LIVE account so those that missed the broadcasts or would like to rewatch can view them here on the official Johnny's website. It has both Tatsumi's live from 2019.07.22 and 4U's live from 2019.07.15.
4U's LINE LIVE account also opened a premium channel that has a subscription cost of 580 yen a month. The after talk after each broadcast starting from Tatsumi's 2019.07.22 live is only available on the premium channel. You can subscribe to the premium channel on the LINE LIVE app only. Archived broadcasts of the premium content is available to subscribers on the app.
[App download and premium subscription details]The LINE LIVE app is only available on the Japanese app store. For those of us living overseas, you would have to create a separate Japanese Itunes or Google Play account. For Apple device users, you can use the following tutorial to set up a JP Itunes account. For the Japanese address, I used Tenso, which is a package forwarding service. To obtain a JP Itunes gift card, the website I linked for the tutorial is one option and personally I used Play-Asia before with no issues.
In order to subscribe to the premium channel, you go to 4U's LINE LIVE account on the app or you can search for "ふぉ～ゆ～” in the search bar and it should be the first option under the channels tab.
On the main page of the account, there's a button to subscribe.
Then you'll go through the process of confirming the purchase and 580yen will be deducted from your gift card amount.
For Android device users, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the process. Doing a quick search, it looks like you would need to use a VPN but can use your normal credit card based on the steps in this post. Anyone that wants to try or has set-up a JP google play account in the past, if you can share your experience that would be really helpful.
Update: A tutorial for downloading Japanese Spotify for Android was posted here and should work similarly for LINE LIVE.
The 2019.07.22 After Talk broadcast was about ~30 min and basically was an extra half hour of Tatsumi talking. He answered some questions from the comments and some highlights include him imitating how Fuku-chan does push-ups in their shared SHOW BOY dressing room and he showed his navel piercing for a couple of seconds. Apparently, he got the piercing around the time he was dropped from the original A.B.C.
The next broadcast date hasn't been announced yet but Tatsumi mentioned that Fuku-chan will be in charge of the next one.
