Akihiko Kondo is not formally married to Hatsune Miku in accordance with Japanese law, but the company that created Hatsune Miku has issued a marriage certificate, claiming that the couple married "beyond the dimensions".

How is that telling and of what problems do you speak? Do you think there is some widespread trend of marrying holograms in Japan?

Some things are just sick. Imagination without grounding in reality is just such a thing.

Although he got many likes, he also got a lot of complaints something as his way(the essence of it)is one of the reasons that Japans population is now shrinking and talks about letting it easier for foreigners to become citizenised, which apparently many Japanese also don’t like………Anyway that’s what I read, you that live in Japan certainly can give a better picture of the situation.

I just wanted to push back a little because I see this case as being a rather extreme outlier. Certainly, to make a connection between this and population decline is unfounded. That has much more to do with a number of other factors including a move from hyper-consumerism to post-consumerism (or possibly back to consumerism) and the complete absence of a women's movement. This led to a slow entry into the workforce by women and when they did get there, they were expected to continue their previous homemaking on top of their careers. Naturally, fewer women want to have kids or even marry. It goes without saying that there are other, complicated, factors at play, but I don't see otaku as being the cause of population decline.
Heck, I read an article about a woman who apparently had sex and married a tree. She was not Japanese.
