Faking Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven wakes up in modern Tokyo with no memory of how he arrived. His iconic Ninth Symphony has vanished from history, replaced by generic pop tunes flooding the airwaves. Teaming up with jaded music producer Sakura, who sees him as her last chance to save classical music, the composer navigates neon-lit clubs and corporate recording studios. Their quest to reconstruct the lost masterpiece from fragments of memory brings them into conflict with a corporation systematically erasing great art for profit. This 2025 music fantasy examines the essence of creativity in the age of digital content.
