what are your guys opinion on this. i may have jumped the shark, as you can see in my comments on the video Well obviously the difference between what rachie is doing and what akidearest is doing is that the former is informed about what she is talking about and the latter is not. I think rachie did a pretty good job on presenting songs without any gimmicks like akidearest does. If someone new to the Vocaloid fandom stumbled upon this video looking for sad Vocaloid songs then that's what they'll get, and not some weeb theories. The issue with what akidearest is doing is she projects her own headcanons of the songs and explains that as what they're about, instead of saying her opinions on them. I don't think it's problematic how popular the songs are, they're popular in the Japanese fandom but people who are new in the western fandom still relies on songs from 2009-2011 so this video helps the new fans discover new songs
