This week, Eguchi Aimi, the newest member of the all-girl Japanese pop group
AKB48, was revealed to be a fake human. She was perfectly cute, but Eguchi was
nothing more than a computer composite of her six band mates; she existed only
in a virtual world. The bizarre, and clever, publicity stunt was unveiled in
the above video, which shows exactly how the virtual beauty was created.
