## Prompt

```text
Using REFERENCE_1 as the current YouTube-style thumbnail and REFERENCE_0 as the identity reference, regenerate the thumbnail with the same layout and composition, but replace only the man's face so it matches the person in REFERENCE_0. Keep the existing pose, pointing finger, bass guitar, room background, lighting, high-contrast thumbnail style, and all Japanese typography unchanged. Preserve exactly 5 visible text/badge areas: the top blue banner, the large main headline, the bottom blue music/tempo line, the yellow circular age badge, and the bottom-right black square badge. Do not redesign the thumbnail; the layout is already good. The only intended correction is that the face should be {character_identity}.
```

## Variables

Replace each `{variable}` before you paste the prompt.

| Variable | Label | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `{character_identity}` | character identity | the same person as in REFERENCE_0 |
