Virtual Marriage Sayings! Akihiko Kondo's mother refused an invitation to her only
son's wedding in Tokyo this month, but perhaps that isn't such a surprise: he was marrying a hologram.
"For mother , it wasn't something to celebrate,"
said the soft- spoken 35 year old, whose
"bride" is virtual reality singer named Hatsune Miku.
In face, none of Mr. Kondo's relatives attended his wedding
to Miku an animated 16 year old with sauce eyes and lengthy aquamarine
pigtails,but that didn't stop him from spending two million yen ($17,600)
on a formal ceremony at a Tokyo hall. Around 40 guests watched as he tied the knot with Miku,
present in the form of a cat sized
stuffed doll.
"I never cheated on her, I've always been in love with
Miku san," he said. Since March , Mr. Kondo has been living with a moving
, talking hologram of Miku that floats in a $ 2,800 desktop device. "I"
m in love with the whole concept of Hatsune Miku but I got married to the Miku
of my house," he said looking at
the blue image glowing in a capsule.
