Digital is the new real and is the best new thing. According to http://news.yahoo.com/s/digitaltrends/20110622/tc_digitaltrends/japansnewestpopsingerisactuallyacgicreation_1 the popular Japanese pop music group known as AKB 48’s newest member is reveled as being completely computer-generated/CGI. Aimi Eguchi first appeared as a member of AKB 48 in a commercial for the candy maker Ezaki Glico along with some of the other members of AKB 48. Fan’s immediately fell in love with her some even claimed she was now the most beautiful of the whole group. Aimi Eguchi’s fans were extremely surprised to find out that she wasn’t real but rather made completely on a computer. The candy company finally released an amazing making-of video that took viewers step by step through the process of the creation and putting together of Aimi Eguchi. The end result of Aimi Eguchi is simply amazing even after fan’s learned the truth behind Aimi they could not tell the difference between Aimi, the computer generated star, and the real pop idols. The creators of Aimi were so exact in there making of her in fact that viewers could watch the Ezaki Glico commercial over and over again and still not be able to pinpoint any unrealistic features in Aimi that the other stars did not have. As one could imagine some of AKB 48’s fans were extremely disappointed to find out the truth behind there new beloved star being nothing more than 150 gigabytes of data, many other fans just simply started liking her even more. Aimi Eguchi is a 100% pure idol. When looking in deeper into the creation of Aimi one will find that she was created by putting together traits of the other real members of AKB 48 that the fans admired the most and putting them all together it is no wonder that she became so popular so fast. Who knows there might even be many more CGI pop stars that we don’t even know about?
