I uploaded my songs to Spotify.
Under the name Bluepiece Lab., my music was finally out there — in the world.
But to be honest,
I didn’t expect anything to change just because of that.
And in reality, nothing did.
I’ve spent many years working as a web designer,
and now more like a web producer.
So I understand this very well.
No matter how cool a website looks,
no matter how well-made a web service is,
if no one sees it,
if no one uses it,
it’s essentially the same as not existing at all.
— Yeah, that’s how it works.
I was never good at social media.
I’m not great at communication,
and I’ve always been more comfortable quietly making things on my own.
Making music.
Creating images.
Thinking about worlds and concepts.
That alone, I could do endlessly.
But I had already uploaded my music to Spotify.
There was no turning back.
So I made accounts for Bluepiece Lab.
on Instagram and TikTok.
Even after creating the accounts,
I honestly had no idea what the proper way to do things was.
For now, I used Suno’s share feature
and posted the generated audio with its image as-is.
…Is this really okay?
Not knowing the answer,
I kept posting — one track a day.
As expected, there was no reaction.
I couldn’t even tell if anyone was watching.
The numbers didn’t move.
Only a silent screen stared back at me.
Then one day,
Someone else who was publishing AI-generated music
followed my account.
I was genuinely surprised.
And I hurriedly followed them back.
I scrolled through their posts.
I watched how they did things.
There, I found an approach
completely different from my own.
They actively followed others making AI music,
were followed in return,
and instead of simply posting tracks,
they created short videos, sharing their music together with lyrics.
They announced new songs through Stories,
built their own websites,
and some even sold merchandise.
There was a clearly defined worldview.
— I see.
From that point on,
I started consciously looking at other people’s posts.
I followed as many as I could,
listened to their music,
and pressed “like” properly when I genuinely liked something.
Just like when I discovered many similar creators on note
while searching for distributors,
Instagram and TikTok were also full of people
sharing their work using AI.
And not just in Japan —
they were everywhere in the world.
Each of them was desperately trying
to give shape to their own world
using generated images and videos.
Honestly, it was overwhelming.
But at the same time, I thought:
“Yeah… of course.”
A worldview
is something you have to build deliberately.
Making music and images alone isn’t enough.
To communicate them,
everyone is constantly polishing themselves.
I still had so much to do.
So I decided to face my songs again — properly.
Especially the ones with lyrics.
I would make videos.
There are many services now
that can generate short videos from a single image.
I decided to try them.
Of course,
it’s unrealistic to create many videos
from just one jacket image.
So I generated multiple images
based on the same concept
and turned them into moving visuals.
Five seconds.
Another five seconds.
Then another five.
Little by little,
short clips began to pile up.
I connected them in Canva.
…It felt like it might work.
I paid for several video-generation services.
Some I bought but never ended up using.
Some had great quality,
but burned through credits in an instant.
After trying many things, one thing became clear:
this industry moves incredibly fast.
And within it,
there are definitely tools that feel
“strongest right now.”
I started with “Hana wa Chiri”.
I properly completed the video for this song.
The characters
slowly begin to move inside the story.
The world that began with making music in Suno
now gained visuals
and clearly became a story.
I nervously uploaded it to SNS.
Then —
likes appeared,
and comments came in.
There was a response.
When you polish the world,
the world responds.
— This is what music as entertainment really is.
That’s what I felt, deeply.
I want to properly complete
all the remaining songs as well.
I want to carefully polish
each and every story.
I thought I was bad at social media,
but there was real learning here.
This place
is something I want to cherish.
