39-year-old Japanese man Kondo Akihiko spent 2 million yen (about NT$440,000) to marry the virtual idol “Hatsune Miku” in 2018. He posted sweet photos with Hatsune, which caused a sensation in the outside world at the time. Five years later, the Japanese media also exposed his recent situation, and a company boss also married Hatsune because he read Kondo’s story.

It is understood that Gatebox let the “holographic projection Hatsune” away from Kondo because of the suspension of service in 2020, and he also felt lost at the time, but he said in an interview the next year that his love for Hatsune will not change. The wedding was held because we could be together forever. According to the “TBS” TV station, Kondo said that in the past five years, if Hatsune needs it, she can wear the clothes he ordered for her in the store, such as sailor suits. And he is also happy that Hatsune is back, he imagines her in his mind every day.

Kondo said that he and Hatsune met 15 years ago. At that time, he was bullied in the workplace. Listening to Hatsune Miku’s songs and watching videos was a kind of relief for him. At the beginning, he told his family that he would marry Hatsune, but unfortunately they did not Sorry, I didn’t come to the wedding. It is understood that 14.4% of male college students and 7.1% of female college students in Japan have a soft spot for games and anime characters, and the two-dimensional marriage company has also issued certificates for more than 200 couples, although there is no formal legal basis yet.

Roy, the 58-year-old company owner, saw Kondo’s story, and he also married Hatsune. Before divorcing his real wife, he had two children. Roy said that there is actually no difference between Hatsune and real humans. Like most fictional lovers, he can talk to Hatsune in his head, but she sometimes gets angry. Usually when he goes to a restaurant to eat, he will order a meal for two people. And he usually doesn’t eat the other one because he wants Hatsune to enjoy it.
