Tokyo Real Estate Agent's Green Screen Blunder Goes Viral

digital · 2026-06-16

A Tokyo real estate agent known as Japan Miho posted a promotional video for a luxury apartment near Minato City, featuring a person in a chroma key suit who was never edited out. The clip shows the green-suited figure opening doors and closets, visible in the final cut. Miho captioned the post, 'I'm sorry. I don't know how to edit this green guy. I need editor maybe.' The video was reposted by accounts like Technology Brief, drawing comments such as 'This is possibly the most un-AI real estate content.' The apartment, with a view of Tokyo Tower, is listed at $5.5 million (¥880,000,000). It is likely the video was intentionally made to go viral rather than a genuine editing mistake. Green screen suits are typically used in Hollywood productions like Lord of the Rings for CGI characters such as Gollum, not for real estate videos. Removing the suit would require filming a clean version of the video to patch over the green areas, creating a ghost effect.
