In their latest news post today, GLEAT announced that, effective December 29, they will be ending the membership aka paid channel subscription offering on YouTube. While it cost around 900 yen in Japan, it was priced higher outside Japan-in the US where this site’s administrator is located, they charged $8.99/month instead of what should have been closer to $6-7. The membership started at the beginning of this year and all live & on demand event broadcasts (most events but they also do some non-broadcasted events) were moved behind the paywall, and they promised additional members-only content. Anyone who already paid for this month’s subscription will get a full refund. Anything uploaded prior to 2025 is still available without paying.
Future plans for the channel will be announced on social media at a later date.
