How to Register on NicoNicoDouga

  Okay, I promised I would explain how to sign up with NicoNicoDouga videos if you can't read Japanese just yet, so here it is:

  First things first, go to their main page at nicovideo.jp. On the home page, you will notice a gold colored button on the left hand side of the page. It should have the word アカウント. Click on this to start the registration.

   On this new page, you will see two buttons; one silver, the other gold. Click on the silver one. This is for a free account.

   

   Now for step 1: メールアドレス this is where you enter your email address. After you have done that, click on the black button at the bottom of the page.

   Step 2: Profile Set Up. The first item is ニックネーム ; enter your desired nickname here. 

• The second item is where you select your gender. You will of course see two options here. The first is for male, the second for female.

• Third item is where you enter your date of birth. This part is very simple to figure out, so I don't really need to explain it. 

• The fourth item is where you choose your location. Again, this is pretty self explanatory. 

• The fifth item is パスワード which is where you enter your password. The box immediately underneath this is where you re-enter your password. 

• The sixth and last item will be your security question. The default question is asking what your favorite food is. I suggest that you go ahead and keep it. The box below this is where you enter your answer. At the bottom of the page will be two black buttons. The largest one will take you to step 3. The smaller one will take you back to step 1. Click on the largest black button.

•   This next step is simple. You will be shown all of the information that you have entered so take the time to look over and make sure it's correct then enter the captcha code that's at the bottom then click on the largest black button on the bottom. Now check your email inbox for an email from NicoNicoDouga. Their email will have a link which will confirm your registration and take you to a new page. On this page, there will be a link, click this link and you will be taken to NicoNicoDouga's home page, logged in, and ready to watch videos. Congratulations!
