Proof-of-concept trial of the AI music generation app "SUNO"

People say "making songs with AI is easy," but getting past the lyrics and the AI's unpredictable generations to come up with a decent song takes quite a bit of time. Or rather, it was an app that guarantees you'll waste time because it's so much fun.

In the U.S., major record labels have taken legal action, and rumors of trouble are constant, reminiscent of Napster. Still, the feeling is "as long as it's fun, why not?" and I think it's a treat for music lovers. But I'm a bit scared of where it goes from here... I gave it my evenings and weekends last week, but since I'm worried about running out of tokens and losing sleep, I've decided not to touch it until next month. Anyway, since it would be a waste not to, I'm sharing a summary and results.

Episode 0

It started as just messing around. Since it creates songs automatically from just a title, it's been fun w

The president of a tiny company

Something like The Melancholy President w

Something like the Liberogic Inc. company anthem w

We were making songs about people and laughing together, but it gradually got more elaborate, and then we thought, "Could we do something like this?" After trying ordinary elation and the like, our ambitions grew...

No.1

Rhythm

A track in the style of FM STATION, extended once or so with a Turutturu-style feel. It has a nice Showa-era vibe and turned out well.

No.2

Capricious Cat

Cat lyrics generated with GPT, adjusted extensively in word endings and other details. I aimed for something cute, but it came out funky, Gen Hoshino-style, so I changed it to a willful girl character. There are many other versions too.

・The original was actually this one... Teased by a Cat

・Versions in the style of Tomita Lab + Kirinji, Cat Kirinji

・Versions in the style of Takao Tajima, Tajima Takaneko

・And many more

Making lots of versions and adjusting the lyrics where they strained credibility, generating separate tracks, is quite a lot of work when trying to create exactly what you want.

No.3

Let's Sing Lan-lan-lan Together

I wanted to make a song that sounded like Paprika, but after adding a female vocal and other elements, it turned into something else entirely. Still, the way the chorus drops into a minor key feels very professional, so I chose this one! Done with two extends!

No.4

Yachō

I wanted to create something in the style of Shiina Ringo, so I kept revising the lyrics for "Yoru no Jo" with GPT. The SKA-style sound just wouldn't come across naturally, so after a lot of tweaking, I finished something about the quality of a leftover album track. The faint laughter at the end turned out great. The FADEOUT tag just isn't being read at all, though. Anyway, I've picked up the tricks and method, so if you're interested, I can share them. It's not that hard, honestly, ♪ I've come to the self-conclusion that re-releasing it is best avoided for now! Or so I thought, but

No.5,6

Darn it, I'd been making kayōkyoku nonstop, so I got the urge to write an English lyric in a style I love, and I ended up staying up until 5 AM! So I've released two hardcore tracks rooted in math rock! Writing lyrics with GPT is tough.

Ordinary Life

Whatever

I made something insanely cool! I'm done with this now! Time is melting away! Seriously, I'm not doing this again!

And that's all, thanks for your patience!

I don't think it'll resonate with anyone except music lovers, lol
