That said, I totally think it's possible for Ice Network to get sub-broadcasting rights to Japanese nationals from the television network or direct broadcasting rights from JSF one of these years. I'm sure they'd love the opportunity (and funds) that come with exposing it to a broader audience.
For example, given the popularity of Korean dramas in the U.S., the broadcasting stations in Korea has extended rights to those dramas to livestreaming sites like Drama Fever.
I don't think people in Japan are going to get a live stream! IIRC in the past they've taped delayed everything so Fuji TV (I think they're the ones broadcasting it) could show it in primetime. So any stream would be the tape delay television version.

Also it's worth noting that Japanese television stations have broadcasted U.S. Nationals in the past. I'm sort of curious what USFSA gets for extending those rights to them.
I did not know that Korean soap shows were popular in the US.. I live in the US and have never heard or seen them..
