Through the cooperation of Aisan Electric Co., Ltd., the Akihabara Live Camera streams live footage of Akihabara’s Chuo-dori intersection in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The stream airs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year using LiveShell X, a live streaming device developed by Cerevo. It can be viewed for free by anyone on YouTube.
Normally, the stream receives 1,000 to 5,000 views a day. On March 28th, it received over 67,000 views.
Due to the spread of COVID-19, citizens of Tokyo were asked to refrain from leaving their home during the weekend. Additionally, out-of-season snowfall was observed. It appears that these factors increased people’s interest in what was happening outside, leading to a tenfold increase in viewership.
