Spending more than 300 million to marry a virtual wife, how is the Japanese man’s life after 5 years?

For those who are passionate about Japanese comic book culture or animation, loving and admiring fictional characters is not strange.

It is known that Miku is a famous virtual idol developed by Crypton Future Media.

In 2018, Kondo decided to spend up to 2 million yen (more than 300 million VND) to marry Hatsune Miku after finding solace and inspiration in life from this `virtual diva`.

Kondo said that his brother was bullied at work and listening to Hatsune Miku songs made him feel motivated.

After holding a cozy wedding with 39 attendees, Kondo still occasionally shares her married life with the human-sized Hatsume Miku doll model and the two always appear together.

`Miku encouraged me during the most terrible period of my life, helping me escape depression and reintegrate into society. Between me and her there is an absolutely intense love, she will not have an affair, she will not grow old.`

Thanks to the Gatebox device, Kondo can also interact with Miku’s 3D projection like two friends.

It seemed like Kondo’s life would always be happy with his `virtual wife`, but everything began to change.

On the day Miku was officially `killed` by Gatebox, Kondo said his final goodbyes to his love and went to work.

This made Kondo feel disappointed for a long time.

This experience made Kondo want to research more and learn about social issues related to fictional characters as well as freedom of speech, human rights… After that, Kondo was accepted into the Faculty of Law.
