What is the Japanese word for video views on the Internet?
> What are those views called in japanese?

閲覧{えつらん}回数{かいすう} or 閲覧{えつらん}数{すう}

Pikotaro's PPAP dance was viewed more than 200 million times.

> ピコ太郎{たろう}のPPAPダンスは２億{おく}回{かい} 以上{いじょう} 閲覧{えつらん}された。  
>  ピコ太郎{たろう}のPPAPダンスの閲覧{えつらん} 回数{かいすう}は２億回{おくかい}を超{こ}えた。

Though 「閲覧回数」is a general term, if you limit the term to a video viewing,
「再生回数」is often used.

**About 「閲覧｛えつらん｝回数｛かいすう｝/閲覧｛えつらん｝数｛すう｝」 and
「再生｛さいせい｝回数｛かいすう｝/再生｛さいせい｝数｛すう｝」**

In this topic, the meaning of "閲覧｛えつらん｝" is to look at or read contents. There
are various forms of contents, such as articles, drawings, photographs,
videos, and so on. Among these contents, all of them besides videos could be
looked at or read by accessing the accommodated screen. So the number of
「閲覧｛えつらん｝」 increases by one if you access the page. However, as for video
viewings the number of 「閲覧｛えつらん｝」 does not increase only by accessing the page
where the videos are contained, because in order to watch them you have to
click the "replay" button. The term for "replay" in Japanese is 「再生｛さいせい｝」.
Therefore the term 「再生｛さいせい｝ 回数｛かいすう｝/再生｛さいせい｝数｛すう｝」 exists particularly to
express the number of video views.

How about 「[視聴]{しちょう}[回数]{かいすう}」?

I think [再生]{さいせい}回数 would also work.

I'm sure there are many other ways to say it, though.
