China Daily | Updated: 2018-11-13 08:00

TOKYO - Akihiko Kondo's mother refused an invitation to her only son's wedding in Tokyo this month, but perhaps that isn't such a surprise: He was marrying a hologram.

"For mother, it wasn't something to celebrate," said the 35-year-old, whose "bride" is a virtual reality singer named Hatsune Miku.

In fact, none of Kondo's relatives attended his wedding to Miku - an animated 16-year-old with saucer eyes and lengthy aquamarine pigtails - but that didn't stop him from spending 2 million yen ($17,600) on a formal ceremony at a Tokyo hall.
