Technically you can. But to do that, you need to bundle the humidifier with an Air Conditioner. AC sucks moisture from air > expels water Humidifier evaporates water > puts water into air Combine the two and you can have an endless loop of water, coupled with the water from your breathing and IWL (insensible water loss, basically small amount of water loss from sweat evaporating, skin/scalp drying, uncovered water in the room evaporating ETC).
@@JustJustKen Sorta? It's just the conservation of mass (or, in more generalized but also anime-related terms, the law of equivalent exchange). You'd basically be extracting water from one area and putting it in another area. Now, using an AC would probably be a bad idea, so the ideal would be either connecting it directly to an existing water source (so you don't need to put water in yourself; also easier engineering-wise) or extracting air moisture from the outside(?).

I like how he jokingly apologizes to Mikochi and also roasts her at the same time. Someone who can have fun while making a business opportunity is a great businessman.
SHARP apologizing because they can't break the law of physics and create humidity without water 🤣🤣 That was really one of the most iconic PON moments from the most PON Vtuber, I love Miko so much.
LOL, the top brass at SHARP really know how to go with the flow, imagine you'll see draft statement about apologizing to Cover that SHARP cannot be a wizard. and to think that SHARP did this just for the lore / meme is truly epic! (edit) AND this is after 3 years after the humidifier incident! for sure, new hololive fan will be confused LOL
You're always the best at compiling these sorts of long-running developments for HoloLive, so just wanted to say thanks for doing this as this was even more laughs than usual. Truly Elite.
We're not capable of creating water out of thin air, therefore we hereby apologize to Miko for saying we'd work on a waterless humidifier that would have defied the laws of physics -SHARP 2025
imagine going to cover and the first one u see is the last boss there standing menancingly and then after is mikodanye standing beside the last boss...
started from a silly mistake and make a joke along with it, yet still having a formal apologize between the company CEO for unable to defy the laws of physics. my damn respect to SHARP
when the time this is viral back then, i never thought Sharp would spent years doing research how to make waterless humidifier for mikochi, although the result is far from reality their dedication (for the sake of the lore and meme) is truly admirable
I thought the peak was YAGOO vs that guy, but... "Miko-sama" "We could not defy the law of physics" "Almost noisy enthusiasm - magic born from PON" Got me 😂
0:45 Jojo LOOOOOOOOOOL and well, that Humidifying Mikochi Edition will be "sold out" in no time xD I mean, it looks awesome! The whole story is peak comedy xDDDDD
121000 yen is honestly a fair price. There are more expensive models out there, and the money that goes into this definitely also serves to help COVER and Miko's PR.
Certainly if you compare it to the price of the base model that is at 97.800 yen - of course if you compare it against price for base model at retailers then the difference can double, but 150€ upsell for an already-pricey model is not peanuts, but certainly in the "kinda expected that" range. Chef's kiss to Sharp for the PR move, that was perfection.
@@eclyphh I'm no expert on humidifiers/purifiers, but at least the sharp units available here are in a similar priceclass (and the price includes tax). Of course there are also much cheaper units from other manufacturers, so I guess the best comparison is with Dyson. You can get a Dyson hairdryer for $400 but also a simple no-name one for $20 - the Dyson one is probably better in every aspect, but is it 20x better?… I primarily wanted to put the base-price of the non-Miko-version of the unit into consideration - it is not a "$500 sticker" ontop a cheap unit. Of course whether you believe you need the "plasmacluster next" (Sharp's fancy name for their top-line ionization based air purification) or whether you're fine with a filter based one or one that's just bubbling the air through water... It is arguably better, and Sharp had it proven to be effective against the "cause of the pandemic" amongst other things, but it is definitely a high-end/luxury item. (a base model, with a lower-tier version of the plasmacluster is around 15000¥). So think of it as a Dyson vacuum/hairdryer. Some part is paying for the actual tech, some part is paying for the established name/prestige/presumed quality (i.e. You can get similar quality for way less money, but do you want to take that risk?)
So much detail in this video, have to pause multiple times to read the word. Thanks Eggs san, for your hard work collecting this information from many source ❤❤
With all of the strict customs, rules, and etiquettes in Japan, you can't say that the Japanese don't have a crazy sense of humor. Such an elite interaction between two elite companies.
AMAZING work to bring together this 3-year saga! I didn't know just how much there was. The guy running Sharp-san's twitter account deserves a raise. 😆
Sharp CEO: we're going to do some collab with hololive members Sakura Miko, any idea for the concept? Sharp employee 1: how about making a meme? Sharp employee 2: how about including their CEO? GREAT SUCCESS
Thanks for putting it all together ❤️ this whole thing has been a meme for years and its still funny. Pon Elite Miko-chi never fails to make me laugh. Especially when she laughs at herself first.
This is why you pay a social media manager good money. They can turn small stupid stuff like this (If they're really good at finding stuff) and turn it into a really good business opportunity.
Lol. I remember commenting on a clip of Miko talking about the "waterless humidifier". I recall saying something along the lines of: "If Sharp decides to do a collaboration with Miko, it would be marketing genius." Not only did Sharp go through with a real collaboration (i.e. the Mikochi Edition Humidifying Air Purifier), they pulled off this hilarious marketing (apology) stunt. This marketing beyond genius on Sharp's part, it's "Elite Genius". I live in an area where I don't need a humidifier, but if I ever needed one, I would totally get a Mikochi itasha humidifier that sometimes yells at me.
Be Miko Started as a Vtuber who is known to contend with Kizuna Ai Nearly quit coz of failed streams Played GTA V Gets popular Become the endorser of some products Become a tourist ambassador Become the endorser of one of the biggest appliance corporation. I think she already reached the peak than the goal. You did it. Never change.
sharp did a great job with this apology. now this is how a social media presence should appropriately and properly make an apology online. learn from this, youtube apology videos.
I love how the product is described as being “talkative to the point of being loud.” Even if the price seems like a lot, it’s basically an air purifier/humidifier plus a 100-line voice pack.
A quicker TLDR, Miko bought a sharp Humidifier because of dry. She didn't put water in it. View told her yes you need water. She realized that it needs water and called out Sharp for "why didn't you make one that don't need to put water" as a joke. This is currently we're we are now. MIKO x SHARP humidifier Also side note, Humidifier in Japan also acts like air purifier
That bag of confectionary is from Toraya inside Daimaru. That stuff is lit af. Polka's tweet is pun. As it would normally be 'beginning' for hajime as in "this is the story Miko began", but she wrote it with the kanji for 'shame'.

Too bad most of us don't have ¥121,000 to drop on an air purifier.
Totally would if I could, though.
$775 though a few days ago it was cheaper.
A funny thing, 加湿 (humidification) is read the same way as 過失 (negligence, blunder).

Technically you can.
But to do that, you need to bundle the humidifier with an Air Conditioner.
AC sucks moisture from air > expels water
Humidifier evaporates water > puts water into air
Combine the two and you can have an endless loop of water, coupled with the water from your breathing and IWL (insensible water loss, basically small amount of water loss from sweat evaporating, skin/scalp drying, uncovered water in the room evaporating ETC).
