Nippon TV's "Tokyo Miko Ninja" premiered in January, using AI-integrated drama production to create a world that doesn't exist in physical form. The show uses generative AI for creature design, in-camera VFX and virtual production to render a synthetic, high-quality environment. The scriptwriter and producer, Suzuki Tsutomu, stated that the broadcaster's approach was not a cost-saving play but a structural core of production design. The goal was to present AI as a viable production model, not an experiment but a viable model. The most consistent issue in AI-assisted production is whether technology diminishes human performance, not just an add-on. The use of AI in production was to control color, lighting and depth of field to draw viewer's attention to performance rather than environment, and shared video storyboards and visual references with cast before filming to allow them to imagine the world. Shooting in an LED studio environment also yielded unexpected benefits, as well as a fully indoor environment that reduced physical fatigue.
