About this listen

Our series begins in Japan, exploring the fascinating phenomenon of digital companionship. We investigate the social and cultural factors behind this trend, including isolation concerns, workplace demands, and shifting interpersonal dynamics in contemporary Japanese society. Through conversations with both users and creators, we examine the evolution of AI companions and their growing sophistication as emotional support systems, while considering their psychological effects on users.
