The well-known YouTube streamer Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr. recently visited Japan. He was accompanied by his Japanese girlfriend, whom Speed rented from a service popular in Japan.
Dating is one of the most complex challenges in the world right now. It is not easy to come across the ideal person for yourself. If you find that person, expressing your feelings to them is also a struggle. It gets considerably more complicated for streamers.
It is challenging for famous personalities like streamers to get into a romantic relationship. However, the young streamer sensation IShowSpeed got himself a girlfriend during his Japan trip. But instead of expressing his emotions to her, he simply rented his girlfriend.

In the recent live stream, Speed was accompanied by his Japanese girlfriend. But when did he begin dating a Japanese female, considering it was his first trip there? The truth is he hired her from a service that is popular in “The Land of Rising Sun.”
People living outside Japan might not be much aware of rental girlfriends. It is a service that allows its user to hire a girl as their partner to take them on dates. But there are also some strict rules that they must follow. It’s grown so popular that there’s even an anime based on it.
The YouTube streamer also tried this service for his recent IRL stream. He hired a beautiful Japanese girl to be his romantic partner on stream. But he took her permission to feature her on the stream. But they were having little issues communicating, as she wasn’t fluent in English.

Despite the language barrier, the “couple” had fun on their date. Speed is a fan of the viral K-pop song ‘Cupid’ by FIFTY FIFTY. He has shook his head to it many times on several streams. So he also sang that K-pop song with his rental partner during a cab ride.
There is also an anime on rental girlfriend
There is an anime based on this rental girlfriend service called ‘Rent-A-Girlfriend.’ This anime has quickly become a fan favorite. IShowSpeed is also an anime enthusiast and might have learned about the service from this anime.
The anime follows Kazuya Kinoshita, a college guy who hires the rental girlfriend Chizuru Mizuhara after breaking up with his own girlfriend. This anime is now in its third season. Those who haven’t seen it yet can watch it on Crunchyroll.
