How weird is this: one of Japan’s biggest pop stars isn’t even real… She’s a hologram! Yeah, she totally rocks, but really, it’s just unfathomable to me that a person would pay money to see a stage show (a sold-out one at that) put on by a cartoon. 

And wait! There’s more! Adrien Chen writes on Gawker about the second computer-generated Japanese star making waves. 

This is bizarre.
