User reviews

Rajiko is a Chrome extension widely praised for allowing users, especially those outside Japan, to access Radiko radio stations and download programs. Users appreciate its region-switching feature and compatibility with multiple browsers. However, recent updates caused download functionality disruptions and playback errors. The impending deprecation of Manifest version 2 in Chrome also threatens its future usability. Users face more complicated workflows to bypass region restrictions. Despite these challenges, it remains a valued tool for enjoying Japanese radio content remotely.

Pros

Allows users outside Japan or restricted regions to listen to Radiko radio stations.
Provides download functionality for Radiko programs, especially useful for time-free listening.
Supports region change, enabling access to various prefecture radio stations across Japan.
Works on multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Brave.
Highly appreciated by users for enabling listening to favorite radio shows that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Cons

Recent updates removed or broke the download feature temporarily, causing inconvenience.
Manifest version 2 deprecation in Chrome threatens the extension's functionality and requires urgent updates.
Region restriction workaround has become more complicated; some users need to manually select prefectures to listen to out-of-area stations.
Some updates introduced errors such as failure to play streams and buttons not showing up properly.
Playback issues or recognition as foreign IP occurs during consecutive program playbacks.

Recent reviews

I've been lived in Tokyo Japan for 3yrs. Since I leaved there, I can no longer listen Radiko anymore because of the region restriction as everyone knows. Really give my big thanks to Rajiko ext and the developer. Kudos.

ありがとうございます！大変助かります！一つのお願いですが、現在"タイムフリー30プラン"を加入している場合、ダウンロード機能も7日間以内の番組しかダウンロードできません。今後のリリースには7日間超過の番組もダウンロード可能にすれば幸いです。

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Rajiko requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
