Über Japan gibts ja so Klischees und Gerüchte. Gerüchte, die man normalerweise nicht wirklich glaubt – über die Liebe von Japanern zu Computern und Technik sowie über das komische Verhältnis von Japanern zu Liebe an sich. Gelegentlich werden sie allerdings auch bestätig – wenn etwa ein Japaner eine virtuelle Person heiratet.
In one of the odder stories of the weekend, a Tokyo man held a wedding reception on Sunday with his bride being not of the pretty standard human form, but a virtual character inside his Nintendo DS.
The groom, known only as SAL9000, has already taken his ‘wife’ on a honeymoon to Guam, where he took photos and video of him with his DS Lite running the Japanese game Love Plus.
Konami smash hit
According to statements he’s made to the fascinated/puzzled local media, SAL900 fell in love with a character called Nene Anegasaki, who plays a high school girl in the dating simulation game from Konami.
Na dann, schöne Flitterwochen…
