Japanese men are so scared of sex that they’re marrying hologram wives that want them to be their ‘master’
Japanese youngsters shunning dating and marriage for their professional careers can find love in the strangest of places
HOLOGRAM wives are about to start flying off the shelves in Japan.
A company named Vinclu Inc is taking pre-orders for its virtual assistant which promises to be the perfect wife for just £2,000.
Elfin Aizuma Hikari can control your lights, tell you the weather and wave you off to work, the company reveals in a chilling promo on YouTube.
It comes as birth rates in Japan hit a worrying low as youngsters shun dating to marry friends instead.
The advert shows Azuma waking her “husband” and telling him he might need a brolly for his way to work.

The young man can be seen leaving his “wife” to go to the office as she tells him to have a good day.
She later sends him texts to let him know she’s thinking of him – even begging him to return early.
When he finally arrives she has switched the lights on in anticipation of her human hubby.
Upon arrival the youngster says: “When you know somebody’s home for you it feels great.”
Vinclu Inc insist the hologram wives are not for entertainment but hope they will become “natural” in our daily lives and “spend relaxing time with us”.
