My YouTube channel is in danger.

So...as said in the title, I'm kinda having a lot of trouble with YouTube lately. This all kinda stems from my decision to start making videos about Japanese wrestling (something that I rather wish I hadn't decided to do in the first place, but hey ho). As most of you probably know my Lesnar video already got taken down by NJPW, and now today the Misawa video has also been taken down - it seems to be by a Japanese lawfirm representing Sky Perfect TV.
And so, I now have two copyright strikes on my account. These Japanese companies are a hell of a lot stricter about this sort of thing, I suppose...not sure what if anything I can really do. I've tried to sort things out on the NJPW front but so far, have come up with nothing there - and I don't have the first idea with this new one...it's not a nice situation. YouTube has been stressing the hell out of me since the 1st strike - I reuploaded the Lesnar video with all the video footage taken out, but then just got cold feet because frankly, I didn't think there was anything that would stop NJPW claiming the video manually again for some other reason. Images, for example.
In the short term, I've had to make a lot of videos private. All the recent Japanese wrestling ones are gone, along with pretty much anything tangentially related to that, along with some others from the past that are...well, risky. Even things that have been up for years -- right now I simply can't run the risk of getting another strike, because if I do then I could lose my whole channel - seven years of work down the drain. A lot of the stuff recently made private, hopefully, will return in time, once these strikes run out or, hopefully, if I'm able to somehow get them retracted.
So, that's an update of how things are going pretty much :( it's all been kinda stressful. Hopefully things will be better soon. For now, I'm not going to be touching anything wrestling related whatsoever because screw that...I apologise to those who haven't seen those videos and want to - right now there's not much I can do there. I just hope all that I've done up to this point doesn't go down the toilet.
Much love,
-Kim

For what its worth, all content you produce has been really good, so focusing on other topics won't make your channel suffer

Well that sucks. Don't take any risks anyway. Maybe stick the docs on vimeo, or Pornhub or wherever isn't fussy about copyright.
