Virtual Angel

Summary

The idea of virtual presence and the development of AI are now coming into reality. A question is asked through this song: perhaps the entities known as idols, which we have consumed through TVs and phones, were virtual this entire time? From the perspective of others, the emotions of love and relationship towards idols may not constitute a true relationship, but between idol and fan, perhaps that emotion was wholly love. ARTMS sings that emotions formed over the screen can be real, not just virtual.
