If you get a black screen, it probably because they have stopped streaming or it is night time in Japan. Worked fine for me around 11 PM. Of coarse earlier will too. Also, you will be able to click some links that show as real objects within the painting.

Hah, they made a typo. Now that they've finished there's a countdown until the Tokyo Motor Show. At the beginning of every minute, it says the production version of the FT86 II will be at the Tokyo Motor Show on December 30th. Yep, out by a month, haha.
