Music Bank IN Mexico

http://www.hulu.jp

Do you know Music Bank, a long-running Korean music program? Since it began broadcasting in 1998, it has been a beloved music show for over 25 years and is aired in 73 countries worldwide through KBS World, so many Japanese fans of Korean music are likely familiar with it.

In addition to the regular broadcast, the show has also held world tours, starting with a live event in Japan in 2011, and the one introduced here is the live event held in Mexico in 2023.

It’s a great chance to enjoy performances by hugely popular groups like NewJeans, (G)I-DLE, and ITZY over and over again!

SEVENTEEN Project

http://www.hulu.jp

SEVENTEEN shot to the top at a breathtaking pace from their debut.

This documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look leading up to that debut, underscoring that their overwhelming popularity was no coincidence.

On the verge of debut, the members are given various missions, and the film shows how they tackled and overcame each one.

It’s compelling to see them fight to seize their dream stage and to watch their bonds deepen as teammates.

Learning not only about their current achievements but also their past struggles will likely deepen your attachment to the group even more.

K-On!

http://www.hulu.jp

K-On! is a work with incredible staying power and passionate fan support: the first and second seasons aired in 2009 and 2010, followed by a 2011 film that kept the momentum going.

Even after all that, its popularity hasn’t faded one bit.

It all began as a four-panel manga by Kakifly, and before anyone knew it, it sparked a major movement.

Every song by the band in the story, After-School Tea Time, feels fresh and fills listeners with joy.

It’s highly recommended even for people who don’t usually watch anime.

If you’re curious, be sure to check out the K-On! games and web radio, too!

Bocchi the Rock!

http://www.hulu.jp

One of those anime I really, truly want you to watch, with the catchphrase “If you’re a loner, play rock.” If you really can’t spare the time, at least watch episode 1.

It’s a coming-of-age rock story about a shy protagonist, Hitori Gotoh, who happens to discover the guitar and grows through it.

Even though the developments feel like classic “this is manga!” moments, you can’t help but feel genuinely happy—as if it were your own experience—seeing Hitori grow and become more confident.

The scene where she realizes that music connects people, that she isn’t alone, and forms the band “Kessoku Band” is a real tearjerker.

Girls Band Cry

http://www.hulu.jp

This is a media-mix project centered on the five-member girls’ band Togenasitogeari, with a major focus on its animated adaptation.

The 3D visuals—crafted with great care by Toei Animation—and the music that those visuals elevate are major draws.

The story follows women with various personal circumstances who come together to form a band and perform, vividly depicting their twisted, conflicted emotions and their struggle to break through situations that aren’t going their way.

The main characters—the members of Togenasitogeari—also perform as a real-life band, and their high level of musicianship delivers breathtaking performances on stage.

With powerful, highly relatable music that lays bare raw emotion and visual expression that could be called a pinnacle of 3D animation, it’s a work with many points of interest.

The Beatles: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – The Touring Years

http://www.hulu.jp

The most famous band in the world—yes, The Beatles.

World tours and live concerts in sports stadiums, which are now commonplace, also trace back to the Beatles.

Believe it or not, they were the first to perform live at Japan’s Budokan.

Incidentally, the opening act at that time was The Drifters, led by Chosuke Ikariya.

This film compiles rare live footage from their youth, their peak, and their mature years.

At the helm is master director Ron Howard, known for Cocoon and Backdraft.

A must-see not only for fans.

The Basement Where British Rock Was Born

http://www.hulu.jp

This is a documentary that traces the legacy of the Ealing Club, the live venue often described as the birthplace of British rock.

It depicts what this small West London club meant to young people at the time and how it grew into a sacred site.

It also discusses the rock legends who emerged from here, and through testimonies from musicians who were there, you get a sense of what the place was like.

Exploring the culture of rock in the UK and how it spread, this seems like a work that could serve as an entry point to learning about the history of rock.
