A few weeks ago, the live action film “Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: at a confession” in the Japanese cinemas and caused resentment with the fans with his AI-generated soundtrack. We summarize below.
Soundtrack composed by AI
Composer Naruyoshi Kikuchi, who had previously been involved in the music of the main series “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure”, even sparked the discussions when he bragged about only composed the entire soundtrack of the film with the help of artificial intelligence:
»This is the first original soundtrack in the history of global entertainment films, in which all AI tracks were composed. We from the Shin-on-Gak Production Studio have bundled all our strength and worked with full energy to devote this work to a terrifying solemn compositions. «
These statements have a special explosiveness, since “Jojo’s bizarre adventure” creator Hirohiko Araki only criticized the controversial technology a few months ago and whose users described as fraudsters-and now it affects an adaptation of his own work.
Composer defends AI use
The live action film “Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: at a Confessional” is based on the one-shot manga “at a confessionally”, which is part of the spin-off series “Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe”-an offshoot of the international success work “Jojo’s bizarre Adventure”, which was also created by Hirohiko Araki.
No wonder that “Jojo” fans jump to their manka and criticize the soundtrack of the film violently-but what Kikuchi can only smile about:
“We are fighting idiots who have no idea and assume that we used AI out of laziness. The world is full of fears and people are hunting witches to numb this fear. I personally think that’s okay, and it even excites me, Lol. I will continue to devote myself to live performance, composition, music theory and study music technology, including AI. «
In any case resolute words from a AI advocate. But what do you think of his statements? Give us your opinion in the comments.
