Tokyo-based Office Agents provides a service that could be a hit in the United States. For a nominal fee, the company rents out fake friends, colleagues, lovers, secretaries for just about any event or situation. For 200,000 Yen ($200), Office Agent provides a staff member to attend a ceremony. For an additional 5,000 Yen, that person can perform a song or a dance. Tack on another 10,000 Yen, and he or she will give an Oscar-worthy speech for the ages.
