Holographic Japanese pop star sells out concert

Remember that movie S1m0ne? Of course you do! It was Al Pacino's finest work and your favorite movie to date. It looks like the film's premise -- wherein a holographic pop star wins the heart of a nation and becomes America's biggest celebrity -- has become reality. In Japan, of course. There are a few main differences -- Simone represented an adult human lady, holographic Japanese sensation Hatsune Miku is clearly an adolescent anime character. In America, audiences are not aware this woman is a bunch of pixels, and in Japan, they are aware. Who comes out ahead? I don't know.

Her vegetable juice commercial is addictive.

Is there any valid difference between this and Gorillaz? While I enjoy the HORROR OF JAPAN as much as the next faux christian 70s country actor/singer I dont think this is it.

srsly? You'll mention a 2002 movie, but not the 1998 William Gibson book that predicted this?

The music is the disturbing part.

Jesus, there's definitely a difference. Gorillaz actually has a story going along with their characters, and their style is much more interesting. still, this is pretty cool.

This just confirms my theory that the Japanese are androids.

good proof of concept Japan, but it's cheaper to grow them in trailers in the South.
