The Most IMMERSIVE Virtual Idols - What Is Hasunosora?

Virtual Idols are one of the most unique topics to pop up since the start of the creation of media such as music and video. You can trace it all the way back to Alvin and the Chipmunks, or to more recent topics such as vtubers. Regardless though, one of the aspects of virtual idols is the immersion that this 'virtual' idol is real, and today we're looking at a project that has intended to show how immersive virtual idols can really be; Hasunosora.
