Recently, Japanese fans noticed something involving the live-action JoJo's Bizarre Rohan Kishibe ( Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan: At a Confessional ). According to discussions that gained momentum on X/Twitter, the composer responsible for the soundtrack revealed that he used music generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in the film.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure author Hirohiko Araki had previously condemned the use of AI ( artificial intelligence ) to recreate his artwork. Thus, many fans considered the production's choice to allow a soundtrack composed, at least partially, by artificial intelligence tools to be inconsistent.

However, the controversy arose after internet users discovered a post on personal blog . In the post, published before the film's premiere, Saitō confirmed that he used AI to assist in composing the score. As reported, the tool was used to generate specific arrangements, which were later adjusted.

Fans question decision amid Araki's statements

The situation has become even more sensitive because Araki has previously expressed his rejection of the use of AI to produce images based on his own work. Therefore, many fans consider the use of AI in the film's score to contradict the principles advocated by the film's creator.

While some defend the experimental use of these technologies, others believe the authenticity of the production was compromised. Ultimately, the controversy continues to generate intense debate on Japanese social media.
