Polaris, not to be confused with any other artists of the same name, is a Japanese electronic music band that emerged into the music scene with an atmospheric and ethereal sound. Their music, a delicate blend of organic instruments and electronic production, often evokes a sense of serenity and introspection. With tracks like "光" (Hikari, meaning Light), "天体" (Tentai, meaning Celestial Bodies), and "星屑" (Hoshikuzu, meaning Stardust), Polaris encapsulates the essence of the natural world through soundscapes that resonate with the cosmos and the human spirit alike.

Over the years, their discography has expanded to include creations like "走る" (Hashiru, meaning Run), "Music", and "色彩" (Shikisai, meaning Color), each title reflecting the band’s inclination towards simple yet evocative one-word concepts. The release of "Live at SHIBUYA-AX 2006/11/10" showcases the band’s ability to captivate live audiences with their immersive performances. By integrating elements of ambient, IDM, and downtempo genres, albums such as "空間" (Kūkan, meaning Space) and "音色" (Neiro, meaning Tone) demonstrate Polaris's versatility in crafting expansive auditory experiences that paint aural canvases and stimulate the imagination.
