“Skeptics however believe that the video might have merely been an attempt to generate attention for the device, controversy be damned”

Pretty much this. The product got an article about it on a site mostly about anime porn. It is only loosely related to Japan itself, considering the product’ alleged function. So, yes, as the saying goes, “no such thing as bad publicity”. They succeeded.

  Agreed, halfies are gorgeous. Not only Caucasian-Japanese, but almost any halfie. I don’t like much Thai girls but one of the most beautiful girls I’ve met was half Thai half Indian, and let me tell you, neither of her parents were lookers.

  Voice recognition software nowadays often fail if you don’t speak WORD.BY.WORD and even if you do, they wont recognize slangs. That and the fact that no translation can accurately transfer the ‘meaning’ of what you said makes me think that this thing won’t work at all. The video is fake of course.

  Is this marketed toward Japanese or weaboos? It looks like a Japanese product made for the Japanese but is marketed as a weaboo enabling date-rape tool.
