[February 2026] Music titles available on Hulu: documentaries, live performances, films, music shows, and more

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Yasushi Akimoto × AI Yasushi Akimoto

http://www.hulu.jp

This is a project in which an AI modeled on lyricist Yasushi Akimoto’s way of thinking—created using the latest AI technology—competes by having each version produce a song.

The challenge is to create a track commemorating AKB48’s 20th anniversary, and a popularity vote will decide which of the two songs is superior.

A key point is that only the winning song will be released digitally, which likely adds pressure for Akimoto given his long track record.

It’s a project that seems poised to convey both Akimoto’s feelings about how he has engaged with AKB and how far AI has evolved.

An audition program produced by rapper Chanmina.

In a groundbreaking move for auditions, it removes restrictions on height, weight, and age—a decision rooted in her own experience of not being able to debut in a girl group.

Partnering with BMSG, led by SKY-HI—the label behind BE:FIRST—the show’s mutual respect and love-first approach also makes a strong impression.
