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(?).
Quite a few companies are realizing that hiring a social media manager with a fun sense of humor can end up becoming both great PR and great advertisement at the same time. Life can be serious and harsh enough as it is, so it's always endearing to see when big corporations are willing to loosen up just a little bit and have some fun with their job. (Obviously, there's still a limit where it can become too unprofessionnal, but examples where that limit is crossed are relatively rare)

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.

(edit) AND this is after 3 years after the humidifier incident! for sure, new hololive fan will be confused LOL
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...
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
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.
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
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 ❤❤
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?)
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 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.
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

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'.
What a great story. I imagine they must reviewing how much money fans are willing to spent in vtuber sphere and finding out how much humidifier that labeled "bad" for years, simply cause the customer are not aware about water refill, like Miko.
Now THIS is what PR team should do. That is absolutely genius move for both companies. They get to advertise both company names, products, and the talent with absolutely no significant sacrifices aside from time, effort, and money... ... but count me disappointed, SHARP. I thought you can bend the world's logic and reality. smh /j
"You just need 2 hydrogen molecules and 1 oxygen molecules to create water. It exists everywhere. Why so difficult!?" Inb4 someone managed to create cold fusion reactor in pursuit of waterless humidifier....
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
I can see that it would be possible if the humidifier has some way to access the outdoor air similar to an airconditioner or heatpump. But I don't think that's going to happen any time soon, maintenance would be harder and expensive since all humidifiers need to be disinfected every week. She should stick to one of those Sharp Air Purifier+Humidifier combos.
I don't need humidifier because i live in tropical country and it's humid af here, but if that's miko humidifier is available in my country i will buy it 😂
