[PRESS RELEASE] YouTube to 24-hour Radio Broadcast. Alpha Version of "Oshi Player OSHI" Released, Where AI Autonomously Organizes Programs in Seconds
[World's First] Proprietary Algorithm Converts "Advertisements" into "DJ Talk." Experience the "AI Broadcasting Club" on iPhone and Android without an App.
AICU Japan Co., Ltd. January 5, 2026
AICU Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Akihiko Shirai; Tokyo University of Science-Certified Venture No. 7) released the alpha version of "Oshi Player OSHI," a new web application that autonomously controls "24-hour broadcast programs" from any YouTube playlist using collective intelligence and AI, on January 5, 2026.
This service is equipped with "AI Time Fitting Technology," which highly links large-scale language models (LLM), voice synthesis (TTS), and video generation to align the time between songs in seconds. We offer a new media experience backed by deep technology, from "watching" YouTube to "organizing your favorite programs with AI."

🛠 3 Technological Innovations Realized by "OSHI"
1. [Autonomous Control with Collective Intelligence and AI] "Second-by-Second" Time Adjustment
With conventional playlist playback, it was difficult to end a program at a fixed time because the length of the songs varied. OSHI calculates the "gaps" between songs using the AI navigator "Saki" and automatically adjusts and regenerates the length and content of the talk to fit within the target program slot (ending at 00/30 minutes every hour).
Distributed Time Fitting: A feedback loop of script generation → voice synthesis → second count measurement → regeneration is executed in each segment of the opening, interlude, and ending. Realizes net broadcasting with flexible tolerance and low management costs.
2. [Experience Transformation] Transforming Unpleasant Interruptive Advertisements into "Natural DJ Talk"
OSHI redefines "advertisements that disrupt the experience" that suddenly appear in videos as "AI native advertisements."
- Insert natural voice advertisements and video advertisements as introductions by the navigator, tailored to the tone and context of the song and the viewer's preferences and mood.
- By "not interrupting the song," the user's experience is maintained, providing a pleasant listening experience like a "sponsor talk" on a radio program.
3. [Community] "Program Organization Mode" to Fill 24 Hours Together
Users participate not just as listeners, but as "program organizers (broadcasting club members)" of the broadcasting station.
- Organization System: Request your favorite songs for a 30-minute slot. AI combines the songs like a puzzle to construct a 168-hour weekly program schedule.
- Confirmation of Next Week's Slot: When someone completes a program to the end, that slot is "confirmed" and inherited at the same time the following week. Create an ideal set list and broadcasting station with the collective intelligence of fans.
- New Experience by Switching Between "List," "Program," and "Oshi Mode": OSHI offers a new AI experience with three modes: "Program Mode," where you can enjoy your favorite programs asynchronously with everyone, "List Mode," where you can concentrate on your own playlist, and "Oshi Mode," which has a rhythm game feel.
Zero Smartphone Capacity "PWA Support," One-Tap to Home Screen.
"OSHI" is developed with the latest web technology "PWA" (Progressive Web Apps). PWA is a technology/mechanism that allows you to use a website like a native app, combining the convenience of the web with the functionality of an app, enabling lightweight and fast updates. You can experience the same usability as a real app directly from your iPhone, Android, or PC browser without going through the App Store or Google Play. You can also receive program notifications.

- Completely Free: All features are available for free during the alpha version period.
