What happened
Intention, operator of the AI coaching service Skill Boost, sponsored FM Osaka's 'Ofuraji! EX' revival and supported part of the AI implementation for its 'Kieny Drawing Song' segment.
Why it matters
The company says it aims to use AI to expand the show's appeal rather than replace its hosts' personalities, and it sees this work as part of a push beyond simple efficiency gains into content production.
What to watch
The show returned on 2026年9月25日, and monthly regular broadcasts are scheduled through 2027年8月.
WHO IT HITSThis affects media production teams exploring AI in broadcasting, as well as companies and individuals looking to apply AI on the ground rather than just learn about it—Intention cites this practical support as the model for its coaching and training programs.

'Ofuraji! EX' originally ran for about eight years from 2018, airing more than 400 episodes before ending. It came back after listeners' calls for a revival led to a July 2026 crowdfunding campaign that raised 3,320,900円 from 191 people, and the show returned on 2026年9月25日.
Intention's involvement goes beyond sponsorship. The company supported part of the AI implementation used in the 'Kieny Drawing Song' segment, with an emphasis on fitting the show's world and the hosts' individuality rather than making AI the star. That approach builds on earlier work with FM Osaka's 'iDoBuddy', where Intention helped test AI for tasks such as drafting program blogs from broadcast audio, gathering information on overseas reporter candidates, and checking song selection for duplicates while accounting for notation differences.
The company frames these broadcast projects as practical experience it can feed back into its AI training and coaching offerings, suggesting its media collaborations may serve as a showcase for on-site AI adoption.
