Sorry for this last min and silly question - any overseas satellite can purchase the online viewing tix and test/watch?  Can it be watched via vpn or impossible at all?

Unfortunately I personally have no idea. I only found this.

You can try this, I think, but I'm not sure. (second tweet)

Thanks @Anni @tsubasanoyume! 

zaiko(lawson ticket) doesn't need vpn. it works😆

I'm curious to which program he will skate.

Have fun Yuzu.

The same opening as in Osaka.

I can confirm FOD works with foreign credit cards and with a decent VPN. I’m using Nord VPN, as long as you start the stream with the VPN on and don’t exit the video your video will continue to play with FOD (I’m doing this right now). 
 

I can’t find my receipt in email but it was 2999 JPY on FOD. Zaiko seems to be easier to purchase (and won’t need use of VPN at all supposedly) but it seems to cost a little more. If you use a foreign credit card they charge a 2% service fee. PayPal is 300 JPY surcharge, but WeChatPay and I think AliPay is only 100 JPY surcharge. 
 

Not sure if anyone else is using FOD but I had some lag at the start of the show right after Yuzu came on (quality went from pretty good, to low, to pretty bad for a good 30 sec). I’m curious if the Zaiko/Lawson stream is the same views and if they had any issues. I can’t tell if it’s my own connection trying to play catch up or if it’s the FOD stream as there aren’t any video quality controls (it’s all automatic).

Zaiko did cost a little more but as others have mentioned does not require VPN. My Zaiko stream flickered with a white rectangle in the middle for a few seconds before Yuzu came on but was perfectly fine by the time he was visible. Quality was good and there were no lags or glitches during his performance.

 

The camera work is atrocious. They have at least one that's not focused
