On that note, I wonder what's going on during the meeting to decide to make this product.
Boss:"Hey! We needed a new innovation that will help mankind to get closer of becoming a more superior race!"
Man A:"Let's make something that will let the children communicate with each others more!"
***Commence the throwing man out of windows meme***
Man B:"Let's put a rub-activated speech inside a hug pillow for user to experience more pleasure!"

20's and up
Also, the other two available girls seem to be older and they do make ones that aren't loli or teenage and they are easier to find than non-hentai figures of grown women.

So think of me what you want, I don't care, but I seriously want one.
Anyone know how I can get one on this Japanese crowdfounding side and if it is even possible to ship overseas?
Thanks in advance.

I suppose if you know Japanese or can find a good and willing translator, you can contact them directly. A good crowdfunding campaign will take into account international backers (as we've seen with Time of Eve) and thus allow people to contribute from anywhere in the world, and theoretically, a startup like this group would be ecstatic to know there is foreign demand.

After the military, the second biggest accelerator of new technology is pornography. Everybody knows that.

If these initial ones sell well, they could perhaps gather up enough money to buy the rights. I'd imagine they can get very expensive if they go for well-known, familiar characters.

Since this was a crowdfunded project, I highly doubt that there were even three people in the company, let alone a design committee with a boss.

Everyone, no matter how liberal they are (or think they are) has to draw a line somewhere...mine is well before this. C'mon, this is just creepy.

I just watched the video (earlier when I posted I only read the article), and man, was that disturbing! I was actually quite uncomfortable watching a late 20's or early 30's year old man rubbing a pillow with very young girl's on it.

^ Now imagine him sleeping with her in bed and using it for his personal enjoyment. Yep, this is probably what will be happening.

This is just a talking pillow.
I think that it will have to be combined with some other technology before he can "use" it for anything.
I do not doubt that somebody is already working on that.
I am going to save my money for a Persocom.
I always thought that I would never live long enough to see a Persocom, but now I am starting to think that it just might be possible in my lifetime.

Liberals have a well-recognized and and quite clear line called Harm principle. That line is well beyond this despite how opinionated you are about what others do in their bedrooms.
