Possible japanese Youtube?? | Permalink

I browsed a few days ago for the recently launched PSP Camera, and came upon this site very similar to the Youtube site structure and format.

It is called Ameba Vision, from Ameba. I suppose they intended to name it amoeba, as the site's icon is an irregular formed green object. Maybe a spelling error, I don't know. It doesn't seem to be as overpopulated by users as in Youtube, as it mostly seems to be visited by national internet surfers, japanese. It doesn't seem to have any flagging capabilities, maybe I haven't seen one yet, and the video sometimes gets out of sync with the audio. Sometimes, pages won't show up because of too many people watching the same video. That hasn't happened to me in Youtube, not that I'm aware of. Most of the stuff available is unreachable to me because I haven't figured out the dozens of links and buttons. All in japanese!!! Poor me -.-

The videos sometimes have a superior quality than those of Youtube. And the audio can also be in stereo. The loading time depends on the video, and sometimes, when clicking the play and stop buttons a couple of times while the video is loading makes the player to freeze. Strange bug.

Somehow, Blogger doesn't let me put a video from this site in a post. It won't seem to accept the JavaScript language the code has.
