after they will run out of human idols...? With respect to japanese culture... But I was born in Europe where the real culture is culturing a human, becoming better and more sophisticated ourselves. It is very amazing to observe what a variety of robots are being created, but please don´t take from humans what is one amazing thing about humans... being able to grow.. mentaly.. let s keep that real. I was being offered an option of a robot partner before I had the chance to learn how to deal with a real life partner.. come on... we are humans before all that and we have our rights...

The Cooking Nomad Oh don't worry. There's a number of virtual idols, but actual human idols are still very prevalent in Japan
