I know there's been a few parties that have spoken to Toei trying to get them to start taking their shows online as well as on television and Toei has been very against the idea, as they have and continue to be stuck in tradition. Maybe one day they'll do so.

NOTE: There was even talk of convincing Toei to sub their own shows and release them on popular streaming sites ... but again, Toei is against it.

I mean that is pretty much the reason why this musical about Russian Jews coping with change is so popular in the land of the rising sun. Japan is all about tradition. Heck, they still use fax machines even.
