Japanese Man Celebrates Sixth Wedding Anniversary with Virtual Pop Star Hatsune Miku

A Japanese man who married the virtual pop star Hatsune Miku celebrated the sixth wedding anniversary with his beloved. Akihiko Kondo tied the knot with the virtual girl in 2018 and spent $15,000 on the ceremony. To have the bride say 'I do', a holographic AI copy was created. The man's love for the artificially created 'woman' does not fade over time despite ridicule. His 'wife' is praised for her loyalty.
