I'm sure they totally didn't get the idea from Gibson's Idoru book like a decade ago.

Or Superidol by Warren Ellis and Colleen Doran a few years after Idoru hit the shelves. (Although Superidol is pretty clearly referencing Idoru.)

I thought this was going to be about Hatsune Miku. I didn't realize it could get even worse.
