What is U-NEXT?
U-NEXT is a Japanese OTT content platform operated by U-NEXT Corporation, a subsidiary of USEN-NEXT HOLDINGS. On March 31, 2023, U-NEXT announced that it will merge with Paravi, a video distribution service in the same industry operated by Premium Platform Japan. As a result, the largest video distribution service in Japan with sales of over 80 billion yen, approximately 360,000 distributed contents, and over 3.85 million users was born.
U-NEXT's fee plans are as follows
- Monthly plan: For 2,189 yen per month (including tax), you can watch as many movies as you want, use unlimited magazine reading service, and receive 1,200 points every month. Points can be used to watch paid movies and purchase e-books.
- Monthly Plan 1490: For 1,639 yen/month (tax included), you can watch as many movies as you want and read as many magazines as you want. No points are awarded. This plan is no longer available for new customers.
- Music Channel Point Service: For an additional 539 yen per month (tax included), you can use "SMART USEN", a radio-type unlimited music listening application. You will receive 600 points per month, of which 539 yen can be used to pay for the service, so you can use the service virtually for free.
- NHK All-you-can-watch package: For 990 yen (tax included) added to the monthly plan, you can watch all NHK productions, including NHK's morning dramas and historical dramas, as much as you want. The service is virtually free of charge, as you can pay with the 1,200 points granted with your monthly plan.
- Karaoke Service: For an additional 1,089 yen per month (tax included), you can sing more than 20,000 songs as many times as you like.
What is H-NEXT?
In addition to general content such as movies, dramas, and animations, U-NEXT also offers adult videos for under 18s. H-NEXT is a dedicated adult video service within U-NEXT, with approximately 60,000 videos available.
H-NEXT is a video delivery service exclusively for adult videos offered as the "other handsome" genre of U-NEXT. With more than 40,000 unlimited viewing titles, H-NEXT offers more titles than any other service, including AV from FALENO exclusive actresses and even MGS (Prestige), which has withdrawn from FANZA.
U-NEXT members can also view H-NEXT content for 2,189 yen/month (tax included), and Amazon offers 30, 90, and 180-day unlimited viewing codes for H-NEXT.
Advantages of downloading U-NEXT and H-NEXT videos
The biggest advantage of downloading U-NEXT videos is that you can watch them offline; if you download them when you are connected to Wi-Fi, you can enjoy them on the go without worrying about transmission volume, even when you are out of signal range.
U-NEXT and H-NEXT offer a download function that allows users to enjoy content while on the go or on the move, but this official download function has the disadvantages of a limited viewing period and a limited number of works that can be downloaded.
What are the limitations of the official download function?
When using the official download function of U-NEXT, the viewing period of downloaded content is limited to a maximum of 48 hours. This is not a period of time during which you can safely enjoy the contents even if you are unable to access the Internet for several days due to travel or business trips.
U-NEXT also has a limit on the number of contents that can be stored, with a maximum of 25 downloads at a time. This also makes it difficult to enjoy a large number of works at once.
