Alice9 Channel is a 1-hour show that's been airing on NicoNico monthly since September 2009. That's 28 episodes. Tora is the host and usually there are two guests in the studio except for the special public broadcasts with an audience in which cases all the members are present. The show started pretty normally with making promotions and reading fan letters but slowly it evolved into something freaky. Somewhere around the second year niconico staff began to 'force' the members play stupid and often sadistic games to earn the air time for their PVs and such.
Luckily the show gets subbed so all episodes starting from March 2010 are available with subtitles.

GO ON!
March 29th, 2010
All 5 members gather to commemorate the Complete Collection release and the main theme is 'Gratitude'. In this episode: There's a corner where they're supposed to praise each other and Alice 9 fans learn the word 'mokkori', there's a surprise call from one of the guy's mothers which turns to be very touching and of course let's not forget Saga's famous Slipknot impersonation.

Hiroto and Nao are the guests but suddenly a strange person appears to congratulate Hiroto on his birthday and bring some chaos into the studio. There's also Doraemon drawings, squid dance and of course Nao's lame jokes.

Tora and his guests Shou and Saga tell amusing stories and the nicinico staff's bullying begins Saga becoming the first victim.

This one is absolutely epic. It was a public broadcast with all members present that was dedicated to the show's 1st Anniversary. It has lots of really amusing stories shared and most importantly the infamous prank on Saga where Tora barges into his parent's house.

Tora and his guests Saga and Nao freak out big time with the "What's in the Box?" segment and everyone finds out what a scaredy cat the leader is.

Tora with Shou and Hiroto look back on their Budoukan concert and then play sugoroku. There's pain, embarrassment and lots of fun. Absolutely epic. I have to add this is the first one I watched and definitely one of my absolute favourites. The main reason probably being that Tora is absolutely brilliant here. Not only he looks gorgeous, but he's witty and sarcastic and just basically Tora at his best.

There were two main topics of this show: Setsubun which the Japanese celebrate on February 3 and also the state examinations. That is why the boys are forced subjected to various questions and games. Tora is sharp, Nao is a star and Shou is gorgeous.

The broadcast happens to be around Saga's birthday so he's in for some surprises from the sadistic staff and fellow bandmate host) There's blowing off candles with a hose, answering a quiz on himself and tasting the cocktail lovingly prepared by his bandmates.

Another must see. Tora, Hiroto and Shou play a series of games that are supposed to improve concentration and reaction but are in fact just the usual bullying from the staff. The battle of rock paper scissors at the end is really something as Shou's amazing hidden talent is revealed.

This time it's Nao's birthday and Shou teams up with Tora to host the show and bring Nao to his utter misery. What's supposed to be the chance to redeem himself inevitably turns into sheer bullying. You better turn down the volume because it gets really loud.

The episode commemorated the show's 2nd Anniversary and sure enough it was more than epic. Incidentally it was also the day after the host's birthday so a big surprise was waiting for him. There was a show takeover, hand-me-down presents, some very exclusive footage and a royal battle of rock paper scissors.

This time the guys were supposed to win time for airing their new PV that wasn't even finished yet. But it turned into sort of 'family games'.

Another one of my absolute favourites. The episode starts with Hiroto hosting since apparently Tora and Saga had a concert that day. Thus Hiroto, Shou and Nao are once again made to play sugoroku. This time the game is even more intense and dangerous and there are many turns along the way including surprise appearances, maid costumes, horse-headed guys with big paper fans and the abolishment of vocalist protection.

A9 have a new PV ready and that only means one thing: more torture from the staff! Nico nico staff's imagination is amazing as they keep inviting more pointless and sadistic games for the members of A9. Don't miss out the full-grown men making fools out of themselves to air the PV that they know will be aired anyway.

Visual Battle Royale 〜Natsu no Jin〜: July 31st, 2011
This isn't Alice9 Channel, but it's nico nico and it's a definite must see. The show hosted by Tora was a sort of competition between the visual kei bands of PSC. There was Vivid, Sug, Screw and Alice Nine, the latter being the oldest band there. It's a lot of fun to watch as the rest of the bands experience the kind of trials that A9 members usually goes through and the host is charming as hell. Also at the end there's a surprise appearance.

Well, of course there are just some of the best parts, there are many more good ones. Anyway, hope you find the post useful since I worked really hard on it))
Enjoy!^^
