Fuji Documentary's Rapid Growth

Fuji TV initiated the "Fuji Documentary" brand to creatively showcase its documentary productions across various formats. Since debuting in March 2025, the YouTube channel has gained remarkable popularity. The flagship series, "The Non-Fiction Stream", airs episodes filled with compelling narratives, original cut versions, and exclusive content every Sunday at 2 PM. Among its hits, the episode depicting the last days of popular internet figure Candy H. Milky received over a million views, showcasing a heartwarming yet tragic story of living life authentically.

The documentary detailing the experiences of mentored vintage clothe enthusiasts from February, titled "My Vintage Clothing and Shimokitazawa: Dreams and Reality", has accumulated a staggering 1.5 million views combined between its parts 1 and 2. Fuji TV's documentary content has quickly captured significant viewership, elevating the channel to over 100,000 subscribers within three months.

A Look at 'The Non-Fiction' and Kobori’s Story

In light of its subscriber milestone, the full version of Kobori's documentary, which aired in 2020 under the title “I Got Fired at 52: The Life Path of a Kuzu Geinin,” will be accessible for streaming for the first time. The documentary follows the life of comedian Toshio Kobori, known for wearing a Giants cap, living in a cheap apartment with low rent, while relying on precarious gigs and accumulating debt to survive. His comedic efforts are notably absent, causing him to skip performances in favor of gambling, leading to his reputation as a "kuzu geinin".

As the documentary chronicles his unpredictable journey through the chaos of his lifestyle, it garnered considerable attention and sparked discussions across social media. If you haven’t experienced this uniquely entertaining yet sobering glimpse into Kobori's life, now is the perfect opportunity to watch it!

New Additions to Fuji Documentary Content

Moreover, Fuji TV’s weekend program “Mr. Sunday” will also make content available on the Fuji Documentary YouTube channel starting June 7. This program is known for delving into news commentary with unique perspectives and emotional real-life stories featuring actual individuals. Selected impactful pieces will be shared with audiences who wish to see the channels’ distinctive narrative. A new series titled “Mr. Sunday DOCS” will also launch, providing an in-depth exploration into current topics with intimate filming and archival content. Overall, viewers can expect to enjoy rich, high-quality non-fiction narratives that the Fuji Documentary brand promises to deliver.
