Or is it some YouTube Premium stuff that is causing the blocking???

Spoiler:
This might be somewhat off-topic, but I'm not sure if it's related to some recent YouTube Premium business?

But all of those are for the Premium Music option from youtube. Seems to be something they wanna push for 2019.
This seriously needs to be pointed out - YouTube Music Premium, which just recently rolled out to Japan, is now causing 'geoblock' or 'paywall' issues on J-pop music videos, especially 'full versions' of it. This could be very serious in the long run, and this could affect not just Avex - but other labels around Japan, especially big ones like Sony or Universal...
