The west is 2000 and late with lil miquela while japan is livin in 2119 with Kizuna AI and KMNZ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhFgmVDPNlo

I'm completely fascinated by AR influencers. Hatsune miku was like a precursor but going forward this could become a default/genre. What if there was a pixar that didn't make movies, but just characters with a never ending stream of AR content- apps, filters, MVs, merch, projected live performances, etc.

My mind is blown. They're called “VTubers” and there's a whole landscape. They have AR game streamers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zILKNh1ji54 and AR game streamers who are *the characters from the game playing the game* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWEBd2SuFw8 and the Ibaraki prefectural government officially uses “Hiyori Ibara” as a VTuber ambassador for tourism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5gkykqj1V4 – and Kizuna AI does official campaigns for SoftBank and the Japan National Tourism Organization
