In the 2020s, US music culture is increasingly fracturing into niches, lacking a unifying force except for a few notable occurrences. However, in Japan, the song 'YAJU&U' is capturing widespread attention, garnering over 34 million views on YouTube and leading Spotify's Viral 50 Japan chart. Made using an AI music platform, its lyrics reference a notorious gay porn video, reflecting the bizarre intersection of internet culture and musical trends. This suggests a new wave of potentially global hits emerging from unexpected sources.
This song has totally taken over in Japan, racking up 34 million views on YouTube alone and soaring to the top of Spotify's Viral 50 Japan chart.
The track was made with Udio, an AI platform that generates music based on text prompts, per tags on the clip.
The real reason it has spread like an untreatable rash is because the lyrics are almost entirely themed after an infamous gay porn video from the 2000s.
Overseas, though, something's bubbling. People are betting that the next song capable of uniting the world isn't a future-shocking radio anthem.
