The bundle will appeal to Japanese consumers by pairing Disney's franchise content with Hulu Japan's large pool of localized dramas, anime and variety shows.
Company revealed Wednesday that it is launching a new bundled subscription option in Japan that combines content from Disney+ and Hulu Japan.
Hulu Japan was spun off in 2014 from the U.S.-based Hulu service, which is majority owned by Disney. Hulu Japan is owned and operated by a subsidiary of leading Japanese broadcaster Nippon TV and the service has a large pool of local Japanese content, including drama series, anime, variety shows, live music and sports.
The new Disney+ and Hulu Japan bundle plan goes live for Japanese consumers Wednesday and is priced at 1,490 yen per month, including tax , which is 25 percent less than subscribing to each service individually. Subscribers will get access to both Hulu Japan’s locally popular programming and Disney’s flagship live actions and animated content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and Star.
