In today’s compliance-oriented TV industry, it is extremely difficult to create aggressive content. While people say that “TV has become boring,” original content from online distribution services such as ABEMA, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu is slowly gaining support for its original lineup. In particular, the programs offered by ABEMA are quite exciting and aggressive.

For example, the recently popular program “Hyena of Love” features Yukina Kinoshita, who retired from the entertainment industry after refraining from her activities due to the “tapioca problem. The program aired her experience as a cabaret girl at a cabaret club. Also featured was the host experience of Yusuke Yamamoto, a former rider actor who has had many scandals and is no longer seen on terrestrial television.

In addition, “New York Love Market,” hosted by the comedy duo New York, featured women who were willing to have a one-night stand but were unable to, as well as their own rules regarding sex, which could not be aired on terrestrial television.

The program “Salary Schedule” has also gained popularity by featuring interesting but difficult-to-publicize topics such as “sex services that can also provide ED treatment” and “behind-the-scenes of sexy video filming.

Media critics who pay attention to the distribution programs are,

A media critic who pays attention to distribution programs says, “The success of ‘Love Hyenas’ with Yukina Kinoshita was quite successful, but the results on terrestrial TV are quite different. For example, in November of this year, Fuji Television’s “Zenryoku! Dairy Power Times” on Fuji Television in November of this year, Kinoshita was flamed for being “offensive” and for “not bothering to bring out a retired person who has caused problems. Daraiki Times” is usually quite aggressive, but even so, Kinoshita was “out. The fact that viewers have a different range of tolerance may be another reason why online programs can do what they do so freely.

He also says that the casting and the content of the show were unexpected.

Another program that attracted a great deal of attention for its unexpected casting and content was “Hiroyuki left behind at the end of the world. In this program, Hiroyuki, who has a strong image as a debater, and Masahiro Higashide, who divorced Anzu due to an adulterous affair and has since immersed himself in hunting, travel across Africa on a “100,000 yen budget and overland travel only.

The casting was a perfect fit, and many people commented that “both men looked more energetic than they do on TV,” and “the chemistry between the two is so good that I can’t stop watching.

In the case of ABEMA, there is a channel that broadcasts aggressive programs such as “Hyena of Love” and another channel that broadcasts news all day long. Other channels include anime, shogi (Japanese chess), mah-jongg, martial arts, and hip hop, so they are able to attract a wide range of viewers.

With its broad programming lineup, Internet programming is gradually beginning to penetrate the market. Until recently, YouTube and other video distribution platforms were at the top of the list of “TV rivals,” but it appears that the future will be a “three-way battle” including online programs.
