THIS IS WHAT I’M SAYING. People think that by playing it safe and using redone concepts automatically puts them in the line of fame when it is literally the exact opposite. A lot of very popular Vocaloid songs (especially from people like Maretu and Kikuo) handle very dark and macabre concepts. But they handle it with passion, and a lot of the time, the people who make these songs are coming from a personal place. Her songs lack passion and by proxy, all “relatability” is completely lost. Also if you really wanna make a song that caters to Gen Z, how about stop having people from Gen X and Millennials create the songs. It feels like they try way too hard

Worst part the people behind her are just the 5 minute crafts people. That is already a blunt example that this is just soulless

I think it was intentional by Reuters. The company behind Polar is the same ones responsible behind 5 minute crafts and other sketchy youtube channels. If I had to assume what is going on behind the scenes, the actual person behind Polar wanted to become a vtuber idol much like Hololive, but she made a contract with a very sketchy company. The company itself wanted to try and separate Polar and themselves from vtubers all together, in an attempt to stand out. Obviously they weren't successful in this endeavor. I think they are using bots as their subscribers and you would see that in the comments of her videos up until Polar started to get flamed for her music. In their defense Polar's music isn't good. The lyrics are quite bland and I think the sound engineer is horrible at their job. Polar's voice albeit isn't terrible, but I think the company behind Polar certainly isn't bringing out Polar's best

I never thought of that before but I can definitely see it

Polar will never be better than the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, or even Deep Cut in their first concert.

They fr were trying to say they were the first ones to do this 💀

"I'm an innovator too. Just now, I've created a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes, which acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is used to raise heavy weights. I'm calling it *MetaWheelley* . God, I'm so clever, nobody has done that before..."

Voice acting wise is okay, just sad to see that it’s being used to promote a character that the internet seems to not care about. She’d have a better chance of surviving with a new character design and not being associated with such companies tbh.

I do hope she's able to use her talents somewhere else in the future.

I don't really like how Polar's movements seem choppy as if someone used a type of Motion sensor on themselves to control her movements. I know VTubers do the same but they're a lot more smoother

It seems like they didn't invest a lot of money into the model, which confuses me since this company makes tons of profit from their other channels.

Yeah, she really came out of nowhere. And nothing I've seen from the Metaverse has been even remotely impressive.

For me, Miku has that something when you watch and listens to her its like she wants to be part of us the same we want her to be realistic but at the same time she has to remain as virtual miku.

@@MatrixAMch Oh absolutely, Kizuna was amazing, her finale show was incredible. Vshojo's performances as well, are spectacular. Even Iron Mouse performing "When I look at you" during her anniversary stream, had more impact then Polar. They're trying to come into an industry that already knows what it likes.

After listening to her music (because that’s what I really look at in a singer,) I think the company is trying to get a K-pop kinda mood. For me, K-pop isn’t my type of thing, but it’s not BAD. Yes, I do think it’s kinda infuriating for Meta to be doing this. What? You think I’d say ‘but’? No. Meta’s robbing a person’s talent and trying to sell it only for it to get ratio’s into the depths of the Internet.

Has anyone made Vocaloid covers of Polar's songs? Or maybe a Vocaloid cover of Sharon Apple songs, what with her being a fictional virtual idol who predates even the Gorillaz.

When I first saw a Polar's model I thought that Barbie announced Vtuber Barbie and that it was some form of concept art.
