Interstella 5555: The 5tory of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is more than just a film. This masterpiece, pioneering collaboration between French electronic music duo Daft Punk and legendary Space Opera illustrator, Leiji Matsumoto, tells a powerful story of music's unifying power that transcends backgrounds, and how artists must prioritize their integrity above profits. But sadly, this art’s essence is being threatened. The current AI-upscaled version made available to the public is a compromise on quality, with the original, higher quality tapes neglected in the pursuit of profits. This is not the vision established by Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto during the creation of Interstella 5555.

The AI-upscaling, though computationally advance, lacks the depth of detail, richness, and warmth engrained in the original analogue media. We understand that upscaling provides a timely and cost-effective solution, however, worldwide fans, like us, perceive the artistic finesse when degraded simply into pixel counts as a loss. By settling for an AI-upscaled version, not only the technical brilliance but also the essence of the movie's core message is undermined - we shouldn’t prioritize profit when it steals the soul of artistry.

We believe that an original quality remastering of this classic will truly serve justice to its essence and contribute to preserving the historical music piece for future generations. To both respect and uphold the enduring cultural impact of Interstella 5555 and the legacy of Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto, we demand a sincere and heartfelt remastering to truly honour their original creative vision.

We, the community of ardent music and animation enthusiasts, demand a faithful remastered version of Interstella 5555. Let's respect the ingenuity of the original tapes and not desecrate them for profit.

Sign our petition. Let’s unite on this common ground of music and art appreciation and urge the responsible parties for a pure remastered release of Interstella 5555: The 5tory of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.
