They all look stupid tbh. I like Shinji's the world is mine song the most:

Ugh, the duo are such tryhards. I can't stop cringing here.

Leon is meh too.

They kind of remind me of X.I.P. and 3 Majesty.

The best of both worlds for the MegaCorps... Real actors, so the "virtual" ones perform and interact naturally in real time - but they're not stage ("name") talent so they can get paid scale and disposed of without a second thought.

The first video was so cringey. Lol. But then again, virtual idols are hard to pull off, technology can go wrong, but maybe this will become a trend in the future if it gets popular.

I kinda feel bad about real idols. Not only do they have to compete with anime/game idols especially male units but now AI as well. Well, I'm not complaining but I just the competition became harder for there. I live my fictional singing boys after all.
