A new music video titled "I Bought a 10,000 Yen Guitar" has been released on YouTube, created entirely with artificial intelligence. The video, produced by the channel "AI名曲誕生チャンネル" (AI Masterpiece Birth Channel), features lyrics and composition generated by Google's Gemini AI, with the singing also performed by the AI.
The song humorously describes the experience of buying a cheap guitar: the excitement of ordering online, the disappointment of buzzing strings, and the bittersweet realization that affordable instruments come with flaws. Yet the lyrics embrace these imperfections, celebrating the joy of making music regardless of quality.
Key lines include: "I bought a 10,000 yen guitar / The strings buzz and won't make a clean sound / Oh well, that's what you get for cheap stuff / But ease is what matters / Laughing as I play from the starting line."
The video combines AI-generated visuals with a lyrical narrative that many beginner musicians can relate to. The project underscores the growing trend of using AI tools like Gemini for creative endeavors, from songwriting to music production.
