The quote "all originals have their cheap copies that shouldn't exist" takes sense with polar
Very true, miku miku
yes
It's OK it's not like this one will ever gain any meaningful popularity
@@K-yu-ko8dv One can certainly hope.
Im thinking miku Miku
Oo ee oo
“Her music is inoffensive” personally I think that is a part of the problem with her music. It is so bland. Music for young people should irritate their parents.
Yeah, I definitely agree that it's bland. But I can understand why people in middle school/early high school might enjoy it.
i'm her target demographic and the song Generation Z is so soft brain-no thoughts-head empty-out of touch capitalist dum dum pandering trash
Just look at Usseewa
Exactly. Part of the appeal of Vocaloid is how much creative freedom it gives for indie composers to experiment with different genres and to deliver messages that mainstream artists wouldn’t even consider touching.
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
Exactly. It's just mass-produced lazy content designed to take advantage of the algorithm.
LMAOO I KNEW IT they look so familiar 💀
It’s made by the SoulPublishing but everything they made is soulless
@@eIychia WheresTheSoul Publishing
oh the irony
From my POV the Vtuber/Vocaloid ignored by Reuters of all people is what irritates me. People always cited them to be the impartial, well-researched news but seeing this just tell me they're bought just like everyone else. They slept through the Vtuber boom with Myth so they're pretending they're on time with Polar. It's really annoying.
Exactly! You'd think they would search up some history on their own even if the company didn't mention vocaloid or VTubers.
@白 空 News reporting agency
With the rise of popularity of Hololive and long history of Vocaloid, may Reuters are trying to compete with them.
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
Every normies slept through EVERY nerd and gaming boom. They're not pretending, they're that out of touch
TheSoul Publishing pandering to the whole "VTuber/Vocaloid" thing without fully understanding what works. This reeks of "Hello Fellow Kids" energy.
Haha that's exactly what it feels like
As a Vocaloid fan, I think one of the most wonderful things about Vocaloid is that it's the fanbase who create music, not the company who distributes the software, rather than whatever it is we have going on here.
I agree. I'm always impressed with the quality of music coming out of the Vocaloid community.
Yes
I'm a Vocaloid fan 200%
I’m a vocaloid fan 10000000%
I agree with everything you said.
I've been a vocaloid fan since I was 7 and yeah vocaloid producers are better with their creativity
I appreciate you saying not to attack the person behind her.
I think it's important to say because as much as it's fun to make memes about the company, there definitely will be people who go too far and go after the person.
I haven’t seen them give credit to her actual voice actress funnily enough, but if she is credited then I truly wish the best for her. She does not deserve to be attached to that godawful company :(
I mean, what would be a reason to attack the person behind her? She just portrays the character.
@@mahiru20ten There isn't a reason, but people do it anyway.
For example, back when Star Wars Episode 8 came out, people hated the character Rose so much they went after the actress who played her
@@mahiru20ten why not? most of us humans are brainless. same thing happened with a bunch of crybabies who hated the abby character from tlou2 so they sent death threats to her voice actress.
As a huge vocaloid fan, everything about Polar and the way the company’s been getting ripped apart for this has been hilarious, and I’m just watching it all go down with a bucket of popcorn 🍿
It is quite entertaining
Same 🍿
I'm just hearing about it now from this video, so I'll join in with the popcorn.
@Sus master sus 🍿 Here you go, there’s enough popcorn for all of us!
Does it have butter and salt? ( srry I’m just picky)
Comparing Polar to Wish in the thumbnail was genius 😂
But totally agree. I don't have anything against the singer. It's the soulless mega corporation and the way they're doing this that I really can't stand.
Haha glad you liked it! Yeah, everything is so blandly manufactured when there's so much great existing stuff to take inspiration from.
@@MatrixAMch may I have the art source for the Hatsune Miku in the thumbnail, please?
The creepy "you won't last 30 seconds playing this game" aesthetic, generic music with boring lyrics, janky animation that makes Pocoyo look like Road to El Dorado, and the sheer laziness of not even animating a mouth are all terrible enough without knowing she's a corporate rip-off. Does Meta have no quality control at all?
That's soulless corporations for you. Putting in as little effort as possible while cashing in as much as possible lol.
Omg, that ‘ you won’t last 30 seconds ‘ aesthetics really went well
HAHAHA top tier description
THE P0^N AD AESTHETIC AHSJAJJJSJ
Hey don't talk about my boy Pocoyo like that /lh
A little worried about Polar being targeted towards children, seeing as most other Vtubers (or maybe just the Vtubers I like to watch) tend to be not so seiso.
Her stuff seems really tame. I think it's likely there won't really be any unseiso stuff since they want to make the content as monetizable as possible.
@@MatrixAMch The problem isn't likely to be Polar herself so much as the simple fact that there will be people who watch existing vtuber and/or vocalid content checking her out. This will create a link between her and other performers that will be recognized by recommendation algorithms-- so even if Polar herself is totally fine (which, given who owns her, is unlikely) kids watching her will probably get directed to less-clean performers through recommended videos.
@@Nshadowtail That's a fair point. I didn't consider that.
@@Nshadowtail literally everyone's worries when CookieSwirl became a VTuber
@@mirzapramudya1580 but honestly i dont mind it as long as they say not every vtuber is sfw
At this point I see Polar as a literal *triple* disgrace to the Vocaloid, Vtuber and Utaite fandoms
TheSoul should just use their money to make 5 minute crafts actually good, not make more garbage
Very true, they have the money to make good content but just choose to expand the bad content
Hatsune Miku rose to prominence as a result of community effort. There are producers behind every single vocaloid song and the producers can be anyone.
Polar looks to be nothing more than a corporate cash grab. Her growth doesn't appear to be natural or from communal effort so it doesn't come across as genuine.
For sure, you can really see the difference between this cheap corporate music and the talent and effort that Vocaloid producers put into their songs.
@@MatrixAMch Exactly. Huge amounts of work and passion is made Hatsune Miku (and other vocaloid/utau) what she is today.
Polar just seems disrespectful for how little effort her company put into her, while expecting the most. No hate on her or her music though.
Jeez, i would honestly be offensed if she becomes more popular than all the singers from Vocaloid and the squid sisters and i don't want to see her perform with real life celebrities, because that would be a nightmare.
I agree. But I reeaally doubt that any singer would take Polar seriously, at least I hope so.
Also, unrelated, wasn't it Off The Hook that performed on stage, not the Squid Sisters? Or did both of them have a concert?
@@bisahnchen8727 It was both the squid sisters and off the hook who had concerts
Honestly Miku has had such a big cultural impact that I don't think Polar could ever become more popular.
@@Pinkyorangegirl Ah, alright, thanks.
@@MatrixAMch Miku by itself is already too big for polar to fight. That's just miku, not the whole Vocaloid, not even Utau. If it really happens, it would take a bunch of decades
"Any harassment of the actress is unacceptable"
It's like asking Twitter not to be Twitter.
That's true, but I still felt that I needed to say it. I don't want to indirectly encourage anyone to go after her.
@@MatrixAMch Yea, at least doing the minimum we can
@@MatrixAMch would be better if she just stopped existing since she's not that good at all anyway's, but yk what, I'll choose peace so I'm forcing myself to go on with it and live my life
It's heartbreaking that so many creators and artist who use vocal synthesizers puts their heart, soul, and every ounce of creativity into making music and videos while this 3D model that dances awkward to popular music with emojis as visual effects and voiced over by some voice actor, all for just views and gaining popularity, is claiming that she is "Original"... It's so disrespectful.
Yeah, but that just means we should show even more support to the original ones.
I just heard about polar today and honestly I’m kinda confused on how they got that big of a following. It could be that I’m just ignorant of the more tiktokish culture but it kinda feels like at least half of polar’s following probably comes from bots, kids mindlessly going through TH-cam kids/ youtube shorts, or normie teens finding them and forgetting they’re following polar. I could be wrong but with how low the engagement is, it wouldn’t surprise me
Yeah, it's definitely possible. I don't know enough about it to actually say that's what it is, but the low engagement is unusual for sure.
I don't use tiktock, but decided to check her TH-cam channel out of curiosity. The videos were not only boring also, they didn't had much views and likes, and everything was screaming "bots". That's what I'm thinking.
Most definitely botted
They probably wanted to start it off with a lot of followers to make it look like she's already gaining trackion to become "the next big thing". Creating a fake sense of demand and liking in hopes that real people would join in.. If enough people did they could drop the bots. I'm sorry for the person who provides the voice but I hope the thing flops. It lacks creativity and reeks of corporate greed and ignorance.
@@undefinederror40404 that seems legit and makes a lot of sense
i kinda find it funny that polars newest video has 74K views in 7 days (despite having that big of a following.) yet if we look at kanarias song queen, which was made the same day, already has over a million views, a music box cover, mashups, and covers.
wow
That's because Kanaria is amazing haha
kanaria is just a whole league above
also W shiho pfp
Cryptobro/Metaverse/Web 3.0 bro's business strategy: Take something that has been around for years, do it worse, claimed to have invented it, expect nobody to call them out for it and wonder why nobody likes their product.
Exactly. I honestly don't know if they truly have deluded themselves into thinking they invented it or they just think people are stupid enough to believe that.
@@MatrixAMch I think they really are that deluded.
Welcome to the world of tech patenting. Now that the cancer has bled into the entertainment industry the west is going to look as cheap as China.
Polar having a song called “Generation Z” is just a flat giveaway that it’s her directed audience, as a Gen-Zer I am very disappointed.
It's smart to make content for Gen Z, but sadly this isn't good content.
Same 😭 I’m so offended that they think we like this
It’s hilarious how thesoul thinks polar performing is an original concept when a moderately successful synth got her own super high quality concert
Yeah, Polar won't be the first, second or even like fifth person to do it.
The memes makes this so much funnier😂
You're the meme master so I'm glad you approve!
I think Polar is kinda gross
the idea of making this virtual person and making it so unoriginal, lame and modern like whats a million followers going to do why should I care about her instagram where did originality go
U know whats worse she looks like an oc I made when I was in 5th grade (the video is still up on youtube)
WhYYY
Yeah, I see so much more originality every day in the indie VTuber community.
Part of what bothers me is them ignoring the VERY long-standing precedent of Vocaloid, V-tubers, and game/anime/animated show characters doing this exact same thing. Polar(as a concept) is neither new nor innovative. The other part that bothers me is that for a company that can afford to buy media coverage and bots, Polar’s model is fairly low quality. They should probably invest in a higher quality final product before promoting her as much as they are.
The company should have tons of money from all their revenue on their other channels. They could have an amazing model if they wanted to, so I'm pretty baffled by the fact that they didn't seem to invest much into Polar.

Yo man, Next year Hatsune Miku will be officially the same age as her official age
Ooh, that's a pretty cool fact!
HATSUNE MIKU MOVIE! RAAAAH!
Great rundown of the situation! I agree with your opinions.
Thank you! I thought you had a great take on it, too!
Vocaloids are amazing! IA and Miku are my favorite virtual singers.
Do you have a favorite producer or song?
@@SilverHime Of course yes! I love songs IA songs (Higher, Conqueror, Shooting star, etc), Rin Kagamine's song Kokoro and a lot of Miku songs. Vocaloids are the best. No Polar can compete with them. Also I love Time to shine by Luo Tianyi where she becomes a figure skater at the end.
@@inspector920 you have such good taste! Polar won't ever top Miku!
@@SilverHime But I think Polar could be an Utauloid or something
@@inspector920 she still wouldn't top Miku tbh

Haha glad you liked it!
@@MatrixAMch im geusijg its from jojos? I need to watch that
@@lavnder_bunny9447 yep, from season named Golden Wind
It represents the communities opinions as a whole perfectly though
Honestly I feel bad for whoever is behind the character, they we're put into a position where their persona was just doomed to fail from the start
Yeah, I hope someday she can find success on her own or with a proper VTuber company.
We got the Diva Hatsune Miku vs Poor-lar
Poor-lar lol, that's a good one
@@MatrixAMch :D 👍
@@MatrixAMch yes
Poop-Lame
I think the introduction of this wouldn’t have been a problem, if they hadn’t minimized the tremendous success of Hatsune Miku as an internet icon. The problem was that they tried to sell it as something revolutionary, but it was also really low quality.
Right. They could have had a positive reception if they just gave credit where credit is due.
Miku should officially contact her and request a performance battle, maybe with the winner getting a lofty sum of cash
That would actually be a pretty interesting event
Imagine, they also come out with the Metaverse mirror images, twins, one a boy and one a girl. They have a yellow color scheme and some of their songs are Grief Butterfly, Tv Remote, Daughter of Meanness, Servant of Meanness, BRING IT, Kiddy Battle, and Lost Student’s Sadness. 🤣
Haha I honestly wouldn't be surprised
oh my god people dont will that into existence
If you go into any of Polar's social media, you can see easily that most of the comments are bots, they are all sending similar messages talking about how they love her music and are inspired by her. On her newest music videos the comments are turned off, and on her instagram there are barely any comments from active profiles and all her followers seem to be bots.
Some strange things are going on in the comments for sure
Thank you! Blame the company, and nothing else. Polar is just fine with me. But not the company, obviously.
Yeah, she honestly seems pretty nice, but I can't stand the way the company does things.
It's hilarious they didn't even try to make it NOT SEEM LIKE A MIKU CARBON-COPY. They could've made it look like a lesser-known vocaloid like CUL or something and gotten less smackdown, but they just went for the aqua twintails. Tf were they thinking?
1:28 THATS OFF THE HOOK NOT SQUID SISTERS MAN 😭😭
Yeah, my mistake, I wasn't really well versed in Splatoon when I made this. I've educated myself now lol.
@@MatrixAMch lol thanks
I just like how they gave Polar a mask because they didn’t want to bother with the lip syncing
And the waveforms on the mask don't even sync with her voice!
I personally don’t find the model used for polar to be bad, as someone who used to love Matel dolls and the shows alike. She’s just so bland. Her appearance really doesn’t assist how her music sounds or the lyrics behind it. She sort of reminds me of tofu, like the food; on its own it’s practically nothing, but it is able to take on the flavour of things around it. The lyrics to her songs seem disorganized, unrelated, or even just like general statements at times. I find the idea of the mask she wears interesting, but not for a virtual singer. I think it’s ok to have inspiration from other successful things, but not blatantly ripping them off (Miku clone) it’s so strange to me how much this looks like a soulless matel attempt at virtual singers. I’m half expecting a doll to be brutally honest.
I like the tofu metaphor. That's a good description of what her content feels like.
Yeah. It's clearly unoriginal. They just mixed two well known virtual singers. While leaning in more into the K-pop style. And calling it a day.
They could have at least TRIED to be a bit more original with it
I was going to show this to my little sister but then I hear world is mine by Hatsune Miku downstairs the worst timing
Haha that's a pretty funny coincidence
I got curious after watching this video and checked her latest song. Its like i'm watching pixar trying to make a character for adult swim. I feel sorry for the person behind her. she seems really talented.
Her voice is pretty good. If only she wasn't stuck with a bland model and generic songs.
@@MatrixAMch she would have been better off auditioning for hololive or nijisanji.
"nintendo with the squid sisters" (shows off the hook)
Yup, my mistake lol
My Splatoon fan ass is questioning why bro put ‘Squid Sisters fans’ at 0:41
Yeah I messed up lol
They didn't even create a unique vocal synth for her; it's just a voiced character. She'll never be like Miku.
True. And there's nothing wrong with making a regular singer character, but ripping off vocaloid aesthetic with no credit is not cool.
@@MatrixAMch No, I think if they're gonna go the whole "virtual singer" route then they need to commit. Make a voicebank.
I think that’s the purpose though, she isn’t a voicebank like Miku, rather an actual singer with a virtual character.
@@johnathannguyen4309 yeah and that's dumb
@@kay-kay6483 I don’t get why having an actual voiced singer is dumb?
I like how it immediately cuts away when it showed Rus Noodle and 2D
i like these videos with more personality 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, Ro! Trying my best to improve that!
As someone who has liked vocaloid for ages this rubbed me the wrong way, it feels like they’re trying to capitalize off of the years worth of successes and technological advancements made by other (mostly eastern) companies while not acknowledging them AT ALL. Not to mention the model and music feel like flimsy attempts at easy money since they feel like the west needs this niche filled? Ugh
It really is poor taste to not acknowledge anyone else. And there are already a few western companies that are doing it better than TheSoul Publishing anyway.
polar is the non good kid combination of k/da, vocaloid, Splatoon, and they immediately throw away the child.
Yeah, just seems like they're trying to cash in on existing stuff without giving any credit.
@@MatrixAMch I only like one song from polar, and that is generation z, otherwise than that, polar is a copy of every virtual singer I can remember.
As a miku fan. Polar belongs in the opposite of my heart. Outside it!
True!
Polar is a corporate attempt to capitalize on the young child audience on TikTok that will watch literally anything.
True, she's definitely aimed at the Tik Tok audience
Polar has mint colour hair,miku has cyan colour hair
That is the difference+having a black mask and yellow eyes
They really did just take the Japanese out of Hatsune Miku…
they whitewashed a goddamn singing robot, lmfao. But two years later, we don’t remember her, we only remember Miku. The world is hers, after all.
Yes Miku is forever Miku is eternal

Reuters deserves critisism too for as a news organisation either not being capable of figuring any of this out or deciding to not mention it at all.
That's very true. They could have bothered to do some research before writing the article.
Oh yea totally remembered the day when miku first had her live concert . It was a day long remember and to behold
I can imagine it must have been pretty mind-blowing
Same with gorillaz! It was even better
Though I wasn’t alive lmao
This is the X-th time in wich a big corporation will redo somenthing that by that point was kinda bland and upon wich many pepole spent lot of time and work on and claim to be pioneers , visionaries and to have revolutionized the market !

It's grifting , the internet is sick of it ...
Very true. I'm glad people stood up to it this time, though unfortunately we're also probably giving the corporation more attention than they would have gotten otherwise.
I still don’t get why she’s named Polar. Nothing about her design or personality justifies the name.
"based in Cyprus"

Miku or polar
@@Urban_CREATOR which ones are those?
@randomguy6556 Polar's the one he's talking about in the video, and Hatsune Miku is a virtual singer which anyone can use to sing their songs; So Hatsune Miku's songs are created by the community in Vocaloid program and Polar is owned by one company which is behind all the songs she 'sings'
@@randomguy6556Polar might look good, but it's owned by the company who's behind five minute crafts just to make money and nothing else, while to make somgs with Hatsune Miku people put all their heart into writing lyrics and making her sing; for me, Miku will always be the best one, and no soulless 'new virtual singer' can replace her
@_Sonari_ I follow capitalist beliefs in terms of business ideas.
Prior to owning a business, it was hard to do multiple jobs without lowering the quality of work.
Tho, after expanding the business to 4x it's size the quality has fallen a lot from what I used to do.
I understand the business deciding to do what you call a soulless business opportunity, but I see it as a way to improve and should be embraced.
I only used to only offer one specific service, but now I offer multiple services and have recruited multiple workers now.
Still, I don't see why polar is hated.
I think she sings lovely.
Mikus, one voice sounds raspy, which I don't like.
I'm a Vocaloid, vtuber AND squid sisters fan
(And smokeebee. Don't forget about that Polar stole the green hair and the mask)
I SWEAR TO GOD IF POLAR EVER HAS A CONCERT I'M GOING TO LOOSE MY SHIT!!!!!
“They gave her a mask so they didn’t have to sync her mouth.” 💀
WAIT I JUST REALIZED THAT-💀
Here I am, crying inside at how you didn't include the Monster Strike music concerts.
Edit: it's hard to find, but yes, they did have concerts where the characters (as virtual models) performed their own songs.
I'm sorry to say I've never heard of Monster Strike, but it seems cool.
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.
Polar will never be better than the Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, or even Deep Cut in their first concert.
Just wanted to say that the first ever digital popstar was Tokyo Date, lol
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.
Look... she is fine, but the way they worded it made it seem like she was one of a kind and so revolutionary. Created a bad taste in my mouth
Exactly. At least give credit to the people who came before.

Yeah I didn't realize that until after, sorry haha. I know nothing about Splatoon so I grabbed the wrong pic.
it was kinda funny though
@@MatrixAMch no problem
She literally looks like a Bratz doll!

WORLD IS MINE

I appreciate that reference
'is the hate justified"
Every person with more than a single brain cell: YES
Only against the company, though.
@@MatrixAMch YUS, the VA is just working for that coin, but company is evil tough
The reason many hate Polar , including me , is because not only her design is a cheap tiktok "dancer" copy of Miku, but they advertise her like the "first virtual singer" as if vocaloid never existed , what about Miku in 2007? What about Meiko? The first Japanese vocaloid in 2004, now back at her design , not to mention that she looks like a child , yet she seems to be getting sexualized a lot , they'll never achieve what they want , Polar is just a cheap copy of vocaloid who tries too hard to seem original and fails miserably
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.
2:54 just realized she copied Rushia
Quite interesting that a soulless attempt to capitalize on the already flourishing Vsinger and Ventertainer scene is managed by a company called "Soul". Ironic, even.
Very ironic, indeed.
"Mom can we watch Hatsune Miku"
