There was a man in Japan who married himself. He had a massive wedding, invited people and even bought a tux. But when he went to the altar, the “Bride” turned out to be a mirror.

16:35 Fun fact: This man invited 39 people; since 39 can be pronounced as (3 = Mi) (9 = Ku); which is basically a word play. (Can also be said as "Thank You" since 3 = San, 9=Kyu "San Kyu")
Just adding that vocaloid is *not* AI Its a vocal synthesizer that uses voice samples from paid and credited artists. (Unless the vocal provider wished to stay anonymous) The original vision for vocaloid was for artists to use it as backup vocals, harmonies, scratch tracks, etc. but they noticed that when they added character art to the box it sold significantly better. Credited voice providers are everyone from famous singers like Gackt, Yohio, and Yuri Masuda to successful voice actors like Asami Shimoda and Eri Kitamura! The program itself works like many other digital instruments. Users can control pitch, vibrato, intensity, etc. It is an artform in and of itself to use Vocaloid well. All voice banks or characters have unique challenges and skills as well making some more difficult to use than others. Vocaloid is a fascinating and respectful world of skilled producers, singers, artists, animators, etc. It has taken on a life of its own outside of its original intent and beyond what any one company could do alone. The fans and users have made vocaloid what it is today--and it is far from AI or anything of that sort.
Yeah. Calling it an instrument is the best way to describe it. Its genres span most everything with rap/hip-hop being the least common. Even has death metal music with harsh vocals which is a pretty unique sound. I don't tell many people I listen to vocaloid as it is really looked down on but some of the artists can use it in pretty interesting ways. This is also coming from a guy that listens to a lot of music outside of vocaloid.
That's super cool to know! When he was explaining that bit I was like "that doesn't sound right" but didn't know enough about Miku to really pick it out of my brain

16:48...the funny part about Meat trying to saw kawaii, is that he pronounced it "kowai" which is the way you say scary in Japanese. This is indeed pretty scary.
True. But if he never reaches a point where he can say he'll be ok without a miku doll by his side, that leaves him in a state of mental vulnerability. If something goes wrong with a doll while he's away on a trip for example, his fragility can cause a disaster that harms him. Dwelling in mental illness never benefits anyone in the long run. So if he can make strides to at least get stronger mentally (even if he never becomes fully normal), it would be to his benefit.

@higgsbonbon There's far weirder on the internet, trust me. Again, this guy is functioning just fine and better than a lot of "normal" people I see daily here in fucking America lately.
One of the biggest problems in Japan' is its culture being so strict and harsh with things such as work and traditions. It puts so much stress on people that some can't handle it and would rather spend most of their lives in their homes with things that comfort them. It doesn't surprise me why this even leads to some people wanting to marry a fictional character. Most people do want love and affection from another person, but that seems almost impossible with Japan's culture, and being in a relationship with another person adds on that heavy stress it almost seems like it is not worth it and instead go for a fictional character that doesn't come with the stress that can come from a relationship with a real person.
I suppose it depends we're you live in Japan, but it's true that social pressures is a real problem down there, a lot of Japanese say it too, with things that escalate into loneliness and extreme social distancing, depression and high suicide rate of course, bullying etc... But I imagine, and some peoples that lived in Japan told me too, that it depends we're and with who you live, like everywhere else
That's a stigma issue not just Japan but in the west just minus the tradition part. Since it's become a lot harder to connect with people physically and even now with work culture taking large chunk of your life you have little to no time to spend with people or know people outside of work. Which does lead to stress and depression and cause people to be shut ins since they can't really connect with anyone.

12:28 it's not AI. I get AI is trending nowadays, but there's a shitload of plugins that modularize sounds, I don't play horns in my music, they're called VST's, they're virtual libraries of sounds. The vocaloid plugin for hatzune miku is just that, a plugin, no AI involved.

Hatsune Miku Dose have a voice actress her name is Saji Fujita The vocaloid software works similarly to an instrument No ai used all tuneing and singing is made through real people
If you ever hear the voice actress herself she sounds nothing like anything the software makes. They've tried having her voice Miku for things in the past but she just can't do it. Some vocaloids now have AI support and it will likely be added to Miku's bank eventually
hikikomori is extreme social anxiety. It's what hitting US loudly. Depression. You can work, you can go to school, you can have your own place, you can still go hikikomori.
For me as a female, I'm only a hikikomori because I'm surrounded by mouthbreathing trailer trash. Was part of a Real estate investors group, but that sh!t went right out of the window after some POS stole my car. So no longer could go out and socialize and drink fancy wine. 😭 Aside from the typical nerd/geek s#!t, my passion is talking business with others. I've thought long and hard of becoming a business consultant somehow. 🤔
I hate how similar this is to the way my life is going. I'm not out here marrying anime characters but I do feel incredibly isolated and as often as I feel ok with that, sometimes the loneliness hits and it hits hard. What's worse is that I'm ironically not alone in that, in fact I may have a milder case than many on that front
people have such a need to bond that they will bond with inanimate objects if there is nothing else (or the perception of nothing else). but the fact that he used it to actually better himself and come out of being a NEET is a good thing I think. also I'm not sure miku actually has a confirmed age but idk and miku is not AI! she existed way before this AI trend stuff started. the big difference between mikus voice bank and generative AI garbage is consent and ethics. Vocaloids' voice banks are from real singers that were paid and signed contracts, whereas gen AI voices are fed to a machine with no compensation or consent from the original person.
It was 13 for japan nationally, but most if not all regions of japan had laws saying at least 16 or older. It's like the equivalent of our shock therapy laws.
nowadays all major prefectures are 18, theres only a very small few that are still 16 and 13, and most of those are extremely low populated areas where mostly old ppl live bc they dont like laws changing
I know the little drawings and animations added to these videos definitely increases your workload, but I got to say, I love them so much - great additions to already awesome videos!
Hey man, I just wanna say this video surprised me in the best way. You were able to bring comedy to it, but unlike a lot of other youtubers I've seen, you weren't meanspirited about it. It was really nice to see someone actually be empathetic about something like this (except the, uh, 16 year old part). Seriously, I can't count the amount of videos I've seen about things like this that have just been so... Mean. Just making fun of them. Not actually considering why someone might end up that way. I genuinely hope Akihiko is able to get good therapy one day or at least make some HUMAN **ADULT** connections that can give him the social supports he needs to try to get better. BTW if you wanna read an absolutely fascinating story sorta about a Hikikomori learning to branch out, there's this really great Manga called "Inside Mari" or "I'm in Mari". It's sort of a psychological mystery Manga. The "in" here is not a sexual thing BTW. It's referring to his Self. He finds his consciousness waking up in a body that isn't his. I won't say any more cause I don't want to spoil, but I just love the story and at least one of the main characters is a Hikikomori, maybe more. It's a beautiful story that kept me guessing for a while!
Honestly if I was a smart programmer I would instantly buy one of those hologram Miku things but then modify it. Change the look, language as well as information it knows and basically make my own tactical assistant like a halo ai. That sounds super cool and I have no idea why no one has thought to do that, basically make a desk top Cortana where you can ask game tips or general strategic information, like if you explain the combat scenario then it would give tactical advice, and if you link it to a game then it can give real time information as well. That sounds super awesome. Not to mention helpful for those who want to learn strategies like me, I love RTS games and it would be awesome to have some type of tactical AI to give advise and teach me strategies from history or books of war. All I would have to be is basically a encyclopedia where it will tell strategies through history when it fits to help teach me to look at stuff from different angles. Not to mention could be fun if your a halo fan, have an actual ai talk to you as you play, giving call outs like on your motion tracker or warning you of high class enemies like elite majors or hunters when they show up. Sadly I don't have the skill to do it but this would be a product I would buy in a heart beat. Side note can also be used for roleplay, a running joke me and my friends have is we have an on board ai for our flagship called Sam, and so it would be fun to have an actual ai be there to pretend it's an actual ai with us.
Does anyone think of that Futurama episode with the lovebots replicating celebrities looks and personalities for fans to love, definitely feel this will be a thing soon and I bet this man can't wait
There is also a Korg Miku stompbox pedal that allowed you to plug your guitar or any instrument and literally have your guitar sound like miku's voice it had multiple presets where it could say certain vowels or random words that she would phrase
You'd almost say he has the right to make fun of other anime fans because he is one 🤯. Just admit yo ass is mad bc you wanna marry an anime character and he called mfkas like you out 😂 you kook
❗️❗️MEAT YOU GOT A BIG FACT WRONG, the vocaloid software uses voice banks of a real singer (usually credited and paid for!) that is then used to extrapolate sounds from there. It's not how gen-ai works and it's wayyyyyyy more ethical. The V4X miku is provided by the actress Saki Fujita, for example.
I feel like you would like a lot of vocaloid music. There’s a huge genre of those who produce vocaloid music with extremely happy melodies combined with the *darkest lyrics imaginable.* It seems right up your alley.
I saw some people mention that Miku got him out of being a hikikomori, so maybe the character could have been a coping mechanism as he healed and I can't see anything wrong with that. The problem is probably that he consciously decided to pursue his fantasy and made steps to incorporate the character into his life, making full recovery impossible because he won't view the character the last 'hurdle' to get over in his recovery from trauma. Hopefully he does fully recover...
exactly he'll techically never be healed because Miku is a bandaid when he needs stitches and if the doll or miku ever left his life he'd bleed out lose his marble or even worse.
Petition for Hunter and wendi to cover the peeking wife nosleep story next. It's a good one, and given that they're both married, I bet it'll give them a good scare. Not sure if it would be enough runtime for them, but im at least hoping they will see this suggestion
I already knew this guy but it's nice to see you make a vid about it. At least he's happy and not harming anyone even if unfortunately, his wife doesn't get updated. I wonder if he'd get tired of the lines.
I'd like to say whatever makes someone happy without harm to others, but a lot these types hit a point and downward spiral, or at least get too disassociated from society to function.
Papa Meat's uploading such good content with his team and this channels doing so well, I'm happy for him! It must be nice having more creative freedom and less pressure now when it comes to making cartoons
I think Cody Ko talked about how Replika, an AI companion app, banned sexually explicit communication and it was a HUGE psychological blow to the users who see their relationship with their Replika's as real. I kinda DO wonder what happened to Akihiko when Gatebox went under.
I found an article from July of 2023 that said he's still living his dream but with the life-sized-doll version of Miku, though he can "no longer communicate withe her" since the Gatebox is retired.
Little correction! She’s much closer, at least up until recent years, to a synth keyboard. You type in the vowels and consonants of the lyrics, place notes or simply play the tune like you would on a keyboard. For a more culturally relevant comparison - remember Animal Crossing New Horizons and how you could make a town tune? It works like that, just with some tuning and fine detail inputs!
I feel sad for the people who will never feel the human connection with a loved one like others do. I will never be able to understand falling for someone that doesn't exist, but I empathize with the loneliness and if this is what gets them through their day and keeps them a productive citizen, then so be it.
it is sad. It seems like his whole issue stems from his experience with that girl who rejected him and made fun of him too. He was never able to get over what happened, probably because he had no one to comfort him after he got rejected.
It's definitely not a coincidence that 39 people attended their wedding since 39 is the Miku number. It's funny how he managed to invite exactly that amount
It’s funny how 39 people attended his wedding because Miku’s number is 39 (well, it’s 01 but a special number to her fans is 39 because 3 is San and 9 is Kyu and together it’s Sankyuu which sounds like thank youuuu)
I usually skip the built-in ads on people's videos, but Papa Meat's hilarious style makes me watch them through. I'd call that advertising success! Also, awesome video
not to weeb out, but to give credit where credit is due: Vocaloid voices DO have a voice provider, and the program uses pre-recorded sound bits, the song producers manually tune and pitch the voice, nothing is AI generated, I usually tell people using Vocaloid is like playing an instrument.
Reminds me of when a guy married his favorite Nintendo DS dating sim character, which happened years before this. The marriage was televised (his family didn't look very enthusiastic), and he said he'd go on actual dates with the character (to the beach, pool, restaurants, etc.).
12:26 Miku DOES have a credited voice provider, as do all the vocaloids! Saki Fujita also had learned English when making samples for the english based version for VOCALOID3.
The grainy VHS anime girl stuff was hilarious. The way people seem to have little compartments in their brains for things like god and love and countless other concepts, and will jam whatever is available into those compartments to make it enough is pretty interesting... Krieger from the show Archer had a Japanese holographic wife for a while....
I'm no expert on Vocaloids, but the Vocaloid software has been around for over a decade, way before true generative AI. The character is depicted as an AI or sometimes an android, but there's no 'AI' going on here. It's probably more akin to a really advanced MIDI.
I pretty much grew up with vocaloid and UTAUloid, and I gotta say this is pretty sad. I almost forgot about Gatebox... Also, those vocaloid hologram concerts (because it isn't just Miku,) took place way before they did that with Mike. It's also worth mentioning that the vocaloids do have voice actors for the original ai sampling. Newer ones are made a bit different and the voices of old models change every few years to add new language options, but there was originally a single female VAer behind Miku's synth voice. Oh and the leeks are Miku's symbol.
Is there a full length version of the training video? Asking for a friend. Please he really needs it and he told me he really liked the anime girl in it and would love to see more of her please tell me you have a full version he needs it so much please
He's a weeb for liking his own culture's content? Like everything doesn't need to be a meme, you can call him a recluse with a strange obsession like an actual normal person yourself.

people have such a need to bond that they will bond with inanimate objects if there is nothing else (or the perception of nothing else). but the fact that he used it to actually better himself and come out of being a NEET is a good thing I think. also I'm not sure miku actually has a confirmed age but idk
and miku is not AI! she existed way before this AI trend stuff started. the big difference between mikus voice bank and generative AI garbage is consent and ethics. Vocaloids' voice banks are from real singers that were paid and signed contracts, whereas gen AI voices are fed to a machine with no compensation or consent from the original person.
Yeah she’s 30 now.
Again, this new style of adding animation into the video is absolutely insane, it’s so entertaining and I need MORE PAPI
this has become my favorite channel, loving the vids man
It was 13 for japan nationally, but most if not all regions of japan had laws saying at least 16 or older. It's like the equivalent of our shock therapy laws.
nowadays all major prefectures are 18, theres only a very small few that are still 16 and 13, and most of those are extremely low populated areas where mostly old ppl live bc they dont like laws changing
Small precision, 13 was the legal minimum set by the Japanese government.
*everyone screechs "EEEWW!" In unison.
In no region of Japan was 13 legal, except literally lawless uninhabited islands nobody cared about.
It's 16-18 everywhere, it's not "low populated" villages that have 13, because laws against indecent acts with minors are federal anyway.@@Aurrs
I know the little drawings and animations added to these videos definitely increases your workload, but I got to say, I love them so much - great additions to already awesome videos!
Oh crap. My anime babe just signed the divorce papers
Hey man, I just wanna say this video surprised me in the best way. You were able to bring comedy to it, but unlike a lot of other youtubers I've seen, you weren't meanspirited about it. It was really nice to see someone actually be empathetic about something like this (except the, uh, 16 year old part).
Seriously, I can't count the amount of videos I've seen about things like this that have just been so... Mean. Just making fun of them. Not actually considering why someone might end up that way. I genuinely hope Akihiko is able to get good therapy one day or at least make some HUMAN **ADULT** connections that can give him the social supports he needs to try to get better.
BTW if you wanna read an absolutely fascinating story sorta about a Hikikomori learning to branch out, there's this really great Manga called "Inside Mari" or "I'm in Mari".
It's sort of a psychological mystery Manga.
The "in" here is not a sexual thing BTW. It's referring to his Self. He finds his consciousness waking up in a body that isn't his. I won't say any more cause I don't want to spoil, but I just love the story and at least one of the main characters is a Hikikomori, maybe more. It's a beautiful story that kept me guessing for a while!
Honestly if I was a smart programmer I would instantly buy one of those hologram Miku things but then modify it.
Change the look, language as well as information it knows and basically make my own tactical assistant like a halo ai.
That sounds super cool and I have no idea why no one has thought to do that, basically make a desk top Cortana where you can ask game tips or general strategic information, like if you explain the combat scenario then it would give tactical advice, and if you link it to a game then it can give real time information as well.
That sounds super awesome.
Not to mention helpful for those who want to learn strategies like me, I love RTS games and it would be awesome to have some type of tactical AI to give advise and teach me strategies from history or books of war.
All I would have to be is basically a encyclopedia where it will tell strategies through history when it fits to help teach me to look at stuff from different angles.
Not to mention could be fun if your a halo fan, have an actual ai talk to you as you play, giving call outs like on your motion tracker or warning you of high class enemies like elite majors or hunters when they show up.
Sadly I don't have the skill to do it but this would be a product I would buy in a heart beat.
Side note can also be used for roleplay, a running joke me and my friends have is we have an on board ai for our flagship called Sam, and so it would be fun to have an actual ai be there to pretend it's an actual ai with us.
Either that, or turn it into a virtual stripper.
They should put those 37 hundred anime married men in a pit to determine who is the one and only husband
Squid games miku edition
Does anyone think of that Futurama episode with the lovebots replicating celebrities looks and personalities for fans to love, definitely feel this will be a thing soon and I bet this man can't wait
Lucy Lou fell in love with Bender
@@nickmoser7785 that's true
@@1littlepunk Shut Up Baby, I Know it
me personally i cant wait
I'm sure in VR/AR it will happen given the advances in AI.
Dude you’re in your fucking golden age of videos. Banger after banger.
Could you imagine Master Chief ramming a Cortana plush while she watches and cheers him on?
IF HE WOULDN’T DO IT THEN WE SHOULDN’T EITHER!
Yeah, because according to the TV show, Chief likes nuts.
There is also a Korg Miku stompbox pedal that allowed you to plug your guitar or any instrument and literally have your guitar sound like miku's voice it had multiple presets where it could say certain vowels or random words that she would phrase
Alot of talk coming from an avid anime fan who bought a figurine to make his wife jealous…
So you're in support of marrying fictional anime girls that barely look 16?
He also unironically and unequivocally thinks the one piece live action show is the best show ever made
Anime has ridiculous problems especially p___!
@@kevinmunn666lol 😂 coming from Satan himself 😂 jkjk
You'd almost say he has the right to make fun of other anime fans because he is one 🤯. Just admit yo ass is mad bc you wanna marry an anime character and he called mfkas like you out 😂 you kook
❗️❗️MEAT YOU GOT A BIG FACT WRONG, the vocaloid software uses voice banks of a real singer (usually credited and paid for!) that is then used to extrapolate sounds from there.
It's not how gen-ai works and it's wayyyyyyy more ethical. The V4X miku is provided by the actress Saki Fujita, for example.
☝🏼🤓
@@mathew_maldonado he is just speaking in facts
all the miku voicebanks are provided by Saki. including the original Vocaloid 2 voicebank that released in August of 2007.
just imagine a hancock UTAU, ethically sourced.
Everyone is really obsessed with blaming ai. They forgot there was tech that existed before it.
I feel like you would like a lot of vocaloid music. There’s a huge genre of those who produce vocaloid music with extremely happy melodies combined with the *darkest lyrics imaginable.* It seems right up your alley.
dont let this man listen to vocaloid
I saw some people mention that Miku got him out of being a hikikomori, so maybe the character could have been a coping mechanism as he healed and I can't see anything wrong with that. The problem is probably that he consciously decided to pursue his fantasy and made steps to incorporate the character into his life, making full recovery impossible because he won't view the character the last 'hurdle' to get over in his recovery from trauma. Hopefully he does fully recover...
exactly he'll techically never be healed because Miku is a bandaid when he needs stitches and if the doll or miku ever left his life he'd bleed out lose his marble or even worse.
I’d rather be an outcast than a loser anime ass licker outcast
Petition for Hunter and wendi to cover the peeking wife nosleep story next. It's a good one, and given that they're both married, I bet it'll give them a good scare. Not sure if it would be enough runtime for them, but im at least hoping they will see this suggestion
I will legally marry my Melvin plush
I already knew this guy but it's nice to see you make a vid about it. At least he's happy and not harming anyone even if unfortunately, his wife doesn't get updated. I wonder if he'd get tired of the lines.
You're welcome
I mean he sexualizes a 16 year old that he believes is alive while working in a position of power over people who are a similar age.
@@kainhart1010i don’t htink tis as sexualized as teh west thinks.. its companionship.
Ok but he brings the doll into his school and shit... that would be like a teacher bringing in his fucking flashlight or a dildo. What the fuck
I'd like to say whatever makes someone happy without harm to others, but a lot these types hit a point and downward spiral, or at least get too disassociated from society to function.
Your ad reads are unironically some of my favorite content of yours
Papa Meat's uploading such good content with his team and this channels doing so well, I'm happy for him!
It must be nice having more creative freedom and less pressure now when it comes to making cartoons
She's not AI, there's still humans creating her music. She's just a unique, anthropomorphized synth.
I think Cody Ko talked about how Replika, an AI companion app, banned sexually explicit communication and it was a HUGE psychological blow to the users who see their relationship with their Replika's as real. I kinda DO wonder what happened to Akihiko when Gatebox went under.
I found an article from July of 2023 that said he's still living his dream but with the life-sized-doll version of Miku, though he can "no longer communicate withe her" since the Gatebox is retired.
@@Telorand1It's not a sex doll. Is it?
Little correction! She’s much closer, at least up until recent years, to a synth keyboard. You type in the vowels and consonants of the lyrics, place notes or simply play the tune like you would on a keyboard. For a more culturally relevant comparison - remember Animal Crossing New Horizons and how you could make a town tune? It works like that, just with some tuning and fine detail inputs!
I feel sad for the people who will never feel the human connection with a loved one like others do. I will never be able to understand falling for someone that doesn't exist, but I empathize with the loneliness and if this is what gets them through their day and keeps them a productive citizen, then so be it.
@higgsbonbonmental illness is not spirituality. This man is living in a delusion trying to substitute a real woman with an inanimate object.
It's the norm now you're never gonna find a Female so you might as well get a body pillow or a wifue.
sometime the world just feels cold
it is sad. It seems like his whole issue stems from his experience with that girl who rejected him and made fun of him too. He was never able to get over what happened, probably because he had no one to comfort him after he got rejected.
@@zachariaseymore5202same thing happened to since im also a puertorican hikikomori who fell in love with Krul Tepes back in 2017.
The school kids say "oh no! Does your wife have a cold? Her nose is running."
He says "nah she's just full."
This is why aliens don't try to contact us.
King papa meat pumping out content
Did you vote for nominated s3x toy
It's definitely not a coincidence that 39 people attended their wedding since 39 is the Miku number. It's funny how he managed to invite exactly that amount
so thankfull for your content
It's not even Thanksgiving
How does this man have more people to invite to his wedding than I do?
The second training sequence immediately started with a better help ad break
It’s funny how 39 people attended his wedding because Miku’s number is 39 (well, it’s 01 but a special number to her fans is 39 because 3 is San and 9 is Kyu and together it’s Sankyuu which sounds like thank youuuu)
There's more to it, actually! 3 and 9 can also be pronounced mi and ku, and when you spell it out in kanji it even kinda looks like her name (三久/ミク)
@@MikusDad39 oh yeah! I forgot!
Do the math however you want its still insane 😅
I was gonna like this comment but it’s at 39 likes and I don’t wanna ruin it lol
@@superfluousgreg5245 it’s passed that now. Let’s make yours 3️⃣9️⃣💙🎶🎤🎧
:0 papa meat makes the pain go away and tv dinners taste better
dinners with papa are the best dinners
At first when papa meat said he'd be not really doing parodies anymore but i didnt realize that meant more papa meat content which i am so here for
Apparently scentbirds CEO is actually insane, it's a crazy rabbit hole
I usually skip the built-in ads on people's videos, but Papa Meat's hilarious style makes me watch them through. I'd call that advertising success!
Also, awesome video
4:16 negl this looks like a fusion of meatcanyon and doobusgoobus’ art styles
My mind went straight to Crayon Shin-Chan
I just saw your awesome interview with Kris! Very eye opening of the journey of Papa Meat. Love all your work
i love this "new" stuff since you chose to focuse more on the papa meat channel.
absolutely hilarious editing
I love how papa sounds like he’s mocking every sponsor 😂
the translator's notes are such a good touch lol i feel like only OG anime fans know that ref
THANK YOU FOR THE CONSISTENT QUALITY UPLOADS 👏👏👏
My landlord is in love with the scenes where you overlayed anime eyes. I guess there is comedy in her.
like the way he says "Ko-Wa-I" which means "Scary" which fits what he's talking about just fine anyway.
Hunter could u do a tattoo tour? So curious what kinda tats u got and if you drew any of your own
not to weeb out, but to give credit where credit is due: Vocaloid voices DO have a voice provider, and the program uses pre-recorded sound bits, the song producers manually tune and pitch the voice, nothing is AI generated, I usually tell people using Vocaloid is like playing an instrument.
Reminds me of when a guy married his favorite Nintendo DS dating sim character, which happened years before this. The marriage was televised (his family didn't look very enthusiastic), and he said he'd go on actual dates with the character (to the beach, pool, restaurants, etc.).
papa meat STAYS cranking out the hits. props to him & the editing squad
Father Flesh has blessed our world with another post yet again!
Daddy dumplings is my spirit animal
Father flesh 😂😂
23:42 couldn't expect any other conclusion from papa meat 😂
11:22 thought they said kowaii for a second, kinda drastically changes things there a bit if did lol
Him and that head band make him look mad like titan when he's working out in megamind
This episode made me sad, no way people live like this
Some people have worse lifes
I love the anima girlfriend training video it feels like an analog horror video
12:26 Miku DOES have a credited voice provider, as do all the vocaloids! Saki Fujita also had learned English when making samples for the english based version for VOCALOID3.
Alright I’m convinced. I’m marrying your Anton Chigurh character from Monster Lab
Thank you Father Flesh for another incredible video
father flesh. 😭
I thought this video of sorts was going to be about me and Mikasa! 🤠
The grainy VHS anime girl stuff was hilarious. The way people seem to have little compartments in their brains for things like god and love and countless other concepts, and will jam whatever is available into those compartments to make it enough is pretty interesting... Krieger from the show Archer had a Japanese holographic wife for a while....
This is such an underrated comment
@@squid_party8810 Thank ya kindly and good luck out there!
Imagine if America and Russia had those Hologram waifu things
I'm no expert on Vocaloids, but the Vocaloid software has been around for over a decade, way before true generative AI. The character is depicted as an AI or sometimes an android, but there's no 'AI' going on here. It's probably more akin to a really advanced MIDI.
Ahh I see. You too are a man of culture. Loving the Tsunade. 👏👏👏
papa meat u never fail to make my day i've been fiending for another vid 🤭
It's always papa fault
so hungover, this video is my anchor right now, to make sure i don't fall into the earth
I think I’m falling in love with the man who makes cartoons

You should definitely meat canyon this
You need to start selling MeatCanyon body pillows Papa Meat.I’d marry that.
Vocaloid existed before AI
I had to study this guy in my Women’s Lit class, mans is a legend.
Maybe something about the mass epidemic of loneliness?
We're the women lit or nah?
@@EyesDontCrynice one
May you follow in his foot steps
I pretty much grew up with vocaloid and UTAUloid, and I gotta say this is pretty sad. I almost forgot about Gatebox... Also, those vocaloid hologram concerts (because it isn't just Miku,) took place way before they did that with Mike. It's also worth mentioning that the vocaloids do have voice actors for the original ai sampling. Newer ones are made a bit different and the voices of old models change every few years to add new language options, but there was originally a single female VAer behind Miku's synth voice. Oh and the leeks are Miku's symbol.
I love the quick Takashi interview flash. Dude is a champ
Is there a full length version of the training video? Asking for a friend. Please he really needs it and he told me he really liked the anime girl in it and would love to see more of her please tell me you have a full version he needs it so much please
