Synopsis
SAISHO HA KAKUSEI — Saibā Riot (Official Music Video) 最初は覚醒 — サイバー・ライオット(オフィシャル・ミュージックビデオ)by Jonathan Carène

This is the first official music video in hyper-real style set in the same world created as a solo work by Jonathan Carène for his newly launched Japanese anime series, Saibā Riot (Cyber Riot), an anime series built on a strong and singular visual identity, fluid storytelling, and high-end production quality, produced in original Japanese with an ongoing storyline planned across dozens of five-minute episodes. The music video along with the anime series is produced through the use of several generative AI tools to assist the production while the creative process, technical skills, lyrics and narrative writing, image and video edit, art direction, narration, lyrics, prompt design and thousands of choices remain Human made.

Saibā Riot, the series' first official music video, carries that world's founding act of disobedience into song and features the characters from the upcoming first season. The work shows that AI can generate multiple styles of content for the same IP, while producing pilot-like content that stands on its own for its uniqueness and brings the IP toward a wider audience.

The video is built as a short film with a 45-second introduction scene, opening inside a crime lord's purple-lit sanctuary, a world of gilded excess and casual cruelty. Three women, Akira, Meika and Tokiko, enter as rebels here to restore balance: the activation of a small relic sends a wave of force through the room, and the household's careful order collapses into chaos. From there the film crosses into a second set, then the rebels' headquarters, and finally into the streets of Cyber City.

The lyrics are built as an empowering anthem that defies authority and speaks to a wide audience. What begins as disobedience becomes a chorus: wake up, resist, revolt, face the authority.
