Can anyone shed light on whatever is going on with the audio in the video? It sounds vaguely like counting if the counting were done by some sort of creepy bunny cartoon.

It's Hatsune Miku, a synthesized computer voice.

Not real holograms but interesting still. Apparently some ARkit stuff recently

You can take it to the bank, the Japanese will never change unless coerced, by the US Military after world war II for instance.

Though there's some weird reverb or similar going on too I think, not simply the odd choice of a synthesized speaker for the countdown.
