Gen Hoshino Netflix special

Gen Hoshino’s Netflix concert special “Gen Hoshino presents MAD HOPE MAD MUSIC” is set to start streaming on April 15, 2026. (hoshinogen.com) The special is a Netflix-only edit built from Hoshino’s “Gen Hoshino presents MAD HOPE” tour, and Netflix describes it as a performance tied to his sixth album. Netflix’s listing says the tour was sold out. (netflix.com) Hoshino’s official site said the stream arrives one week before the April 22, 2026 home-video release of “Gen Hoshino presents MAD HOPE Japan Tour.” The official announcement says the Netflix version contains live-performance footage only. (hoshinogen.com) That release plan turns the Netflix drop into a lead-in for a separate Blu-ray and DVD package. Speedstar Records and Hoshino’s official site both list April 22, 2026 as the disc release date. (hoshinogen.com) (jvcmusic.co.jp) The material comes from the “MAD HOPE” cycle around Hoshino’s album “Gen,” which his official site billed as his sixth album. The album was released on May 14, 2025. (hoshinogen.com) (jvcmusic.co.jp) “MAD HOPE” was also Hoshino’s first arena tour in six years, according to his official news archive. A later live-viewing announcement said every show, including added dates, sold out immediately. (hoshinogen.com) (liveviewing.jp) The Netflix edit is not the full tour package. Japanese music outlets reporting the announcement said the special includes all 24 songs from the Blu-ray and DVD in a version edited specifically for Netflix. (billboard-japan.com) (popscene.jp) One of the tour’s centerpiece songs, “Mad Hope,” appears on “Gen” and features Louis Cole, Sam Gendel, and Sam Wilkes. Hoshino’s official discography lists the track as song No. 2 on the album. (hoshinogen.com) (jvcmusic.co.jp) The next marker is simple: streaming begins April 15, and the physical “MAD HOPE Japan Tour” release follows on April 22. For fans outside Japan, Netflix is the first widely available stop in that rollout. (hoshinogen.com) (netflix.com)
