Japan

### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

I am experiencing an issue with yt-dlp where it is unable to download videos from specific pages on NewsPicks. While yt-dlp works perfectly with many other sites, it fails to process certain NewsPicks URLs.

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [X] If using API, add `'verbose': True` to `YoutubeDL` params instead
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
