What is 9tsu?
Official website: https://9tsu.co/
9tsu is a video sharing site that uploads videos of newly broadcasted TV programs.
（The server is located in Michigan, U.S.A., but the site is available in Japanese.)
9TSU is a video sharing site where users can watch videos uploaded by other users, and the content of the videos is quite rich in TV programs. Also, it seems that TV programs are uploaded immediately after they are broadcast, so, for example, you can completely watch a Taiga Drama, NHK Special, Yabecchi FC, Itte Q, etc. broadcast on Sundays on Mondays...
You can also watch various other latest programs, and the categories are
Entertainment, Drama, etc., Anime, Movies, Games, Sports, Documentary/Culture, News, Vehicles, Animals, and many more.
(This is a categorization of televised genres.)
The most popular category is the variety of entertainment-related programs....
9TSU seems to have a limit on the number of times a video can be viewed, perhaps because of the large number of accesses from Japan, but apparently it can't be replayed more than 10 times. It seems to be the same even if you register as a free member.
Is 9tsu closed?
In conclusion, 9tsu is not closed.

Unlimited viewing of 9tsu by changing IP address
Like many video sites, 9tsu's viewing limit is based on IP address. This means that if your current IP address reaches the limit, you can change to a different IP address and watch again. So, how can you change your IP address?
The easiest way is to use a proxy server or VPN service. The way to set up a proxy depends on your OS and browser, so please do a keyword search for "proxy settings" in a search engine by yourself.
Also, most VPN services are paid, but there are some that are available for free.
