after checking the PICO website there are several global apps available. https://www.picoxr.com/magic/eco/ru...bf3?appType=picoglobalwebsite&magic_page_no=1 the december 3 AKB48 show is free for PICO owners. so I assume, once purchased and creating an account a PICO owner could watch the show. there are some interesting games available, but in order for me to consider purchasing a 4K headset, it would require that VR Square is added to the PICO appstore. And will it require a Japanese based phone or adress to register an account? I bought the VR square headset (cheap plastic set about $15USD) But was thrwarted by the requirement to create a yahoo! Japan account that requires a Japanese simcard to verify your number. I bought a Japanese simcard and activated through through Mobal. But Mobal dosent have an international plan. AFAIK a true international mobile plan would require a Japanese bank issued credit card. A Japanese checking or savings acct would require a minimum deposit, paper work filled out in person, possibly require a hanko seal, and even then would have to be issued to a traveler on a tourist visa. But im not giving up. Maybe Pico will be more international friendly? Maybe it could all be solved by switching from android to apple? Power of attorney? Group disbandment? In the meantime there is DMM
Unfortunately the App we need is Pico Video Not sure if you'd be able to access the JP contents from one of the EU options. Too bad it seems unlikely Yahoo! Japan will relax that requirement, as they're now also making it a requirement to comment. Spoiler Thankfully I made an account there before they started requiring all that crap.

Guess the topic on the Wide na Show mod edit: video made private by the uploader the story was reported in Sponochi Annex. Nagisa Shibuya (26) of "NMB48" appeared on Fuji TV's "Widena Show" (Sunday before 10:00) on the 27th. As an active idol, she talked about her own thoughts on the idol dating rule. AKB48 Nana Okada, who was reported to be dating actor Hiroki Ino, who co-starred on the stage in June on Bunshun Online on the 19th, announced her graduation on her Twitter on the 23rd. "I'm really sorry for causing trouble with the weekly magazine. I'm really sorry that I betrayed all the fans who have supported me until now and hurt them. I'm sorry I disillusioned you." I apologized. In response to Okada's news, Mion Mukaiji, the general director of the AKB48 group, posted on Twitter, "I think the time has come to reconsider the ambiguous rule of 'prohibition of love affairs'." "After that, when I confirmed with the management again, it was said that ``the AKB48 group does not have a rule prohibiting romance, and each member is active with awareness,''" adding that it was a big topic. Regarding the "rule forbidding love," Shibuya said, "In the first place, before I call it a rule, it's a matter of what I value, or rather, it's a matter of consciousness. I am working with that in mind,” he said. She commented, "There are a lot of people who support me, and when I think of those people, I think my actions and words will change." https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2022/11/27/kiji/20221127s00041000293000c.html

AKB48 ranked 93rd on Billboard Japan End Year Artists 100 https://www.billboard-japan.com/charts/detail?a=artist_year&year=2022.. This is definitely better than last year when AKB48 wasn't even in top 100
