History of Japan – definitely entertaining and seems to cover the ground I am familiar with. Early emperors and shogunates, samurai code, European and American (Commodore Perry) visits, Korea-Chinese conflicts, two world wars, rapid economic growth.
Video starts slowly, ends fast, a good formula. The history has been viewed 5 million times, but not so much yet in Japan.

JAPAN | Video History
I write about the biographical and economic threads in history. Special interests include symbols of family, such as coats of arms, and the behavior of families in a crisis.
