AI Experience Live Event "AI MUSIC WORLD 2026" to be Held on June 14th (Sun) at KOBE Meriken Park Main Stage from 10:00 to 18:00

Currently, the methods of music production are undergoing dramatic changes. Music produced by planning and production staff using only a smartphone has achieved quality comparable to that of professional creators. Not being able to play an instrument, lacking expensive equipment, having no friends – these hurdles inherent in music production are eliminated by the power of AI and smartphones. This event opens a "new door to music creation" that allows everyone, from children to adults, the elderly, and people with disabilities, to enjoy everything from composition and lyric writing to sound making with just a mobile phone. We will vividly depict a "vision of the future of music" where AI and humans expand each other's possibilities and anyone can bring their dreams to life, from this Kobe stage, along with the spirit of "KOBE FUTURE DREAM GATE."

■ Event Highlights

・ Fusion of AI and Dance

AI-generated images and videos displayed on a large multi-screen will fuse in real-time with the performers' dance.

・ Experiential Content

Composition and lyric writing experiences using mobile phones will be held within the venue, sharing the joy of everyone becoming a creator.

・ Embodiment of a Symbiotic Society

Through live performances by artists from the employment transition support center "Tanpopo," you can see new forms of social participation opened up by AI technology.

・ Finale

The event's climax will be celebrated with an "AI Finale Song" created by all participants.
