Anyone Can Write Songs with AI, Says Japan’s Top AI Influencer

TOKYO, May 06 (News On Japan) - Japan’s top AI influencer, Takumi Ushii, appeared on the business interview program "1on1" to explain how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing music creation.

With the rise of generative AI tools, Ushii emphasized that anyone—even without musical experience—can now easily write lyrics and compose songs using AI.

Ushii, CEO of Michikusa Inc. and an AI trainer for businesses, described his first encounter with ChatGPT in late 2022 as a turning point. He realized that AI could instantly generate code that previously took him hours to write. This shock led him to start his own company, recognizing the disruptive power of generative AI.

In the program, Ushii introduced "Suno," an AI music generation tool that creates songs from simple prompts. Users can enter either detailed instructions or vague ideas, and the AI handles the rest, generating lyrics and melodies in seconds. He noted that such tools are useful for producing background music for videos, corporate anthems, and social media content—especially for those concerned about copyright issues.

Ushii highlighted that the key to adopting AI is to enjoy the experience. He uses music generation as a fun and engaging entry point for beginners in his corporate AI training, showing that AI can be both accessible and practical across creative and business fields.
