YouTube Deletes AI Song INMU KING MV, Creator Seeks Re-Review
An AI-made song built on an adult-video meme crossed into Oricon's weekly chart at 3.866 million views before platform moderation caught up with its source material, which puts the review request at the center of how far meme culture can ride generative tools before a host steps in.
Reporting from 1 source: KAI-YOU.
YouTube removed the music video for "INMU KING," an AI-generated song by video creator Yajuman, for violating its nudity or sexual content policy as of Thursday, October 22. The same video on Niconico Douga now carries a sensitive-content restriction requiring login and a settings change to view. Yajuman reported both actions on X and said he is requesting a re-review of the YouTube decision.
Yajuman, who posted the video as "YAJU-MC," said on X that if the YouTube re-review fails he plans to contact the official YouTube Japan account. He wrote that under the circumstances he has no choice but to resist as much as possible.
The song itself was released on August 10, 2026, produced with the music generation AI Suno and other tools. Its spread went past the Inmu community: social media filled with AI-made clips of celebrities and influencers caught in scandals dancing to the track, and videos of unrelated people and characters doing the same. Oricon's weekly YouTube chart for September 25 to October 1 logged 3.866 million weekly views and a second-place ranking. Niconico's restriction means viewing now requires an account and the sensitive-content display setting enabled.
