The utter confusion with the salmon run tracks is my favorite
fish.
Understanding Salmon Run music without seeing it perfectly. Anxiety fear and confusion.

Facts
No doubt the coolest part about Splatoon's music is that almost every song is attached to an in-universe band, meaning that every song has some lore behind it! Allow me to explain the songs you've reacted to here.
Anarchy Rainbow, Til Depth Do Us Part: These are two festive songs made by the idol trio Deep Cut, whose music is an interesting blend of various cultures' music, derived from the members' cultural influence. The cold-blooded Shiver brings in elements of Japanese folk music, including the vocal technique of kakegoe, a sort of shouting and singing. The hot-headed Frye brings in elements of music from India and the Middle East, even playing the Indian pungi flute similar to a snake-charmer, albeit for her collection of moray eels. Finally, the cheerful composer Big Man brings in elements of festive samba from the Brazilian Carnival, in combination with his passion for dancing befitting of the festival. The songs in question are quite different in tone due to the vastly different context. Anarchy Rainbow is a hub theme, a festive celebration as Deep Cut performs, whereas Til Depth Do Us is a high-octane battle theme.
Tentacle to the Metal: This battle song was produced from the collaboration of rock band Damp Socks and the renowned idol duo Off the Hook. Off the Hook provides the song's vocals, though with a notably different style than their older work. The loud-mouthed Pearl drops her standard rapping style for more drawn out vocals, while the brainiac Marina sets aside her turn table for the piano. I'd definitely suggest checking out Off the Hooks other work in a future video!
Liquid Sunshine: This song is actually a collab between the Squid Sisters, a renowned idol pop duo appearing since the series' debut, and "Ian BGM", a thinly veiled alias for Big Man of Deep Cut. The Squid Sisters are your traditional idol pop band, performing various peppy, poppy, electronic songs for Splatfests. Liquid Sunshine is quite as special, as it's the first original song the duo have done for a Splatfest since the original Splatoon. There's honestly not much else to say, it's just a really happy song!
Frothy Waters: This is one of the many strange songs of ω-3, pronounced as Omega-3. This band consists of a trio of Salmonid, a warrior race of Salmon with a taste for chaos and combat. The best genre I can think of to describe their work is "experimental war march". On top of the bizarre combination of instruments, those being a cello, timpani drums and turntable, Omega-3's work uses a variety of strange composition techniques to add to the frantic nature of the Salmonid migration. For example, Frothy Waters starts at a normal 4/4 time signature then quickly spirals out of control as a new beat is added every measure. This gives the song this climbing feeling of anxiety, fitting for a game mode in which you have a limited amount of time to reach a specific objective.
Bear With Me: This song is credited to Grizzco Industries, a proficient company in the energy industry with less than savory business practices. But that isn't all of the story. According to a developer interview, none of the music credited to Grizzco is actually produced by the company. Rather, it's outsourced to some unknown third-party. Generally speaking, Grizzco's music tends to be very messy, often using a repetitive melody over and over again, like a jingle at the end of an advertisement. Bear With Me is no different, except for its more grandiose tone befitting of a final boss fight.
(God I hope someone actually reads this)
Edit: It appears someone has actually read this.
Edit Edit: IT APPEARS MANY SOMEONES HAVE ACTUALLY READ THIS.
I read it cause I was about to comment this too lol, so that she knew that most of the songs are diegetic and made by different bands in game with their own lore lol
I reed all of it, don't worry. Thanks of the extra info!
I read this. Except I knew all this besides the part with Grizzco music being from a third party.
If you spent this much effort on an essay
@@slurples149 it's different because there's passion behind it.
Frothy waters IS supposed to be a very stress inducing song, because it plays during special waves in Splatoon's sort of zombie defense mode, and most of these waves are very dangerous and can lead to your team getting slaughtered. plus, you're on a time limit.
I'm pretty sure Frothy Waters plays during the special waves I like to call free waves (Mudmouth, mothership, tornado) cause its kinda a little sad if you get a team wipe in those ones. I always thought the song sounded goofy lmao
@@SuperS0nic644 shut up
Pray to the Goldies for Mudmouth waves
I'm really disappointed the version of frothy waters she listened to wasnt the full version, i wanted to see her react to the temp and pitch going up and up until it was a blep
Not to mention is changes time signature every measure
Yeah so the gig with Frothy Waters is the time signature changes not once, not twice, but with EVERY SINGLE BAR.
It is chaos incarnate.
I defo get finding it weird though haha :)
The fan-rubbed name of the song before we knew the official title was Chaos Carnival.
We love ourselves the Salmonids beat timing of ‘fuck it we ball’
She definitely needs to listen to "Tomorrow's nostalgia today" and "Into the light"
Don't forget Shark Bytes, so good too.
fr
Dont you forget ebb and flow
"Anxiety inducing but in a fun way" yeah that's essentially the vibe of the game mode that it comes from
I yell at my TV and rage out but I love it
Calamari Inkantation is definitely one to check out if you plan to check out more Splatoon music. That might end up being the single most iconic song in the whole series.
im in love with the 3mix!
Ah the heavenly melody
A big part of appeal for Splatoons music isn't just the unique sound and nature, but also the culture and world building. Every single soundtrack in the game is made by an in-universe character, group, or band with their own personalities, backstories and genres. Listening to a Turquoise October track will be different as opposed to listening to a Deep Cut performance, because they're two different groups with their own styles and genres. Most of these bands don't even appear in the game at all outside of references, and yet we have album covers, character designs, backstory, and some we even know where they are right now. For instance, the two major idols in Splatoon 2, who were originally more hip hop, pop styled, ended up wanting to experiment with genres and between the second and third game, joined an alt rock band named Damp Socks and perform the vocals for the current standard battle track.
The appeal isn't just in the music, but in the world and the characters that form them. It makes it feel like Splatoon really is it's own world with it's own music culture. Trends, genres, styles, bands, and more.
amazing video moment
now for context of Bear with Me and the bear creature you showed:
Phase 1) supposed to be a innocent and cheerful song with something not exactly being right with it (the drums, or whatever they are, are off beat and the rest of the instruments are on beat)
Phase 2) mood shifts more to the uneasy side and takes more of a tone of the bear’s company-related themes (more on that down lower)
Phase 3) the theme takes itself seriously and tries to be intimidating for the final phase
The Bear)
-Owns a business that manipulates denizens of the splatoon world to gather materials for him for an evil plan or something
-one of 3 mammals left on the entire planet
-his name is Mr. Grizz and he is a wacky dude
He is a pretty wacky dude
That plan is to turn every cephalopod on Earth into a mammal in order to re-create its extinct brethren. Weirdly though, the company Mr. Grizz founded, Grizzco (known as Salmon Run to players) still runs strong without him after he's defeated, so what are they doing with the golden eggs now?
He is a pretty wacky dude
also the song is part of the final battle of the singleplayer, hence why it's got such a different vibe to the rest of the songs. it's supposed to be a big dramatic moment: it's still got some of the silliness that the series is known for, but it's rather serious and grand.
and another little thing: you noticed that the vocals of Bear With Me sounded like someone making a noise in the back of their throat, and that's intentional! kinda. The setting of Splatoon is in a post-human society, so all the sea creatures have a heavily filtered voice and speak in gibberish. But, if you pay attention, you'll notice that the vocals of this song sound more human, because he's one of only 3 mammals left on the planet and therefore has more of a connection to humans than the sea creatures.
Please do more splatoon! Some songs I recommend are candy coated rocks, deluge dirge, blitz it!, calamari inkantation 3MIX, #14 crush, and underwater neon!
Candy coated rocks yes!
Wait I don’t think I’ve heard of underwater neon. Is that one of the newer ones w/ the squid sisters?
Edit: nvm looked it up I just forgot the alterna themes names lol
Deluge dirge YESSS
Also just about all of the off the hook songs are bangers, my faveourite is acid hues
Yes she needs to hear calamari inkantation!!
Splatoon 2 octo expansion has some killer music that I totally recommend. “Regret” and “fly octo fly” are some really good songs
Nasty Majesty slaps
she did fly octo fly in her splat2 video!
Also I would 100% recommend Octo Expansion music from Splatoon 2 and the single player music from Splatoon 1!
Nasty Majesty! Fly Octo Fly + Ebb and Flow!
@@Foodz_Mari plus also a few more like #9 party, etc!
this!!
The thing about the Splatoon franchise is that music is a HUGE part of the whole in-game world's culture. Music literally has the power to affect the characters to their core (certain melodies can help you understand feelings you've never felt before, characters canonically perform songs in the bg to cheer you on, etc) and as such, it plays such a massive part in the game.
My favourite bit is that the devs really went all in with this concept - each song is performed by one of the many fictional bands that exist in the splatoon world, and each band has their own unique flair and vibe! Not only that, but they even bothered to give all bands fully designed characters with personalities, relationships and backstories. Bands break up and form as time goes on. It's not the kinda lore you can find that easily but there's many videos out there about all the splatband lore there is, really neat stuff.
Music also varies between game modes a lot. Online pvp modes have the multitude of splatbands who all have their unique flavour of energy and hype, splatfest (a limited in-game festival period held on occasion) has more festival- and the main idol trio-focused songs. Single player music varies by game but most of it is funky and kinda silly stuff made by the enemies, believe it or not; a band called Turquoise October. Similar story with Salmon Run; the music is played by the salmonid group ω-3 (Omega-3) and it reflects the hectic, panic-inducing chaos that the mode instills in the players. "Frothy Waters" is one and that's why it's so chaotic.
"Bear with me" is (spoilers ahead) for the final boss of the single player. To summarize, the cute giant teddy bear is trying to destroy all sea life and current civilization to bring mammals back - and he happens to be your employer for Salmon Run. So it's meant to feel uneasy due to the fact you, by playing the mode and helping him out, have unknowingly allowed him the power to do this and destroy everything you know and love and it drives this home by sampling and scrambling the very familiar and cheerful Salmon Run theme. You know, just a normal kiddie game plot, nothing eerie about that at all.
And for those who don't know; Splatoon is, in fact, a post-apocalyptic shooter! It takes place about 12 000+ years in the future on our very planet. Humans wiped themselves out and due to rising sea levels, sealife as a whole became the new rulers and moved onto the land. Splatoon 3 goes really into quite disturbing detail on how it all happened and how inklings and octolings evolved to be humanoid in the first place.
Overall, Splatoon is just so fun and creative among so many of the samey super realistic and gritty shooters out there. Not to say they're all bad, but Splatoon is just so unique and fun.
Personal recommendations for reactions would be some single player tracks from all games ("Tentacular circus", "I am Octavio", "Shooting Starfish", and of course the bing bang song "Seep and Destroy"). I also recommend p much all of the renditions of "Calamari Inkantation", the most influential song in the game. 3MIX from S3 is my fave but they're all bangers.
I also recommend the S2 Octo Expansion DLC ost, my personal faves being "Nasty Majesty" and "Fly Octo Fly/Ebb and Flow (Octo)" from Off the Hook (Marina's vocals kick ass ok) and "#8 regret" and "#14 crush" from Dedf1sh. The dlc is a lot darker in tone compared to the rest of the game and the music has a more eerie tone to it as a whole, though these picks aren't great examples of that jfkffkk
Lots of recs but still. Great video, I do hope to see more Splatoon music reactions. I love seeing more people discover the whacky vibes and bops Splatoon has to offer and I love your attitude towards it. Many are easily turned off by the vocals and don't appreciate the music at all, so I'm happy to see actual appreciation from someone new to it all! Sorry for the essay though, I get passionate about things I like. Oop
For context for the last two tracks, frothy waters is a theme for a super chaotic game mode and the song is meant to build stress, and bear with me is the theme for the final boss of the single player story mode. Believe it or not the story of splatoon can get surprisingly dark, especially with the octo expansion in splatoon 2 (which also has a really good soundtrack)
Theres one specific song that appears in all 3 splatoon games, different each time, always as the story mode final boss music, and thats Calamari Inkantation. In Splatoon 2 its called Spicy Calamari Inkantation, and in 3 its called Calamari Inkantation 3mix. Its easily the most iconic track of the series, and its honestly worth dedicating a video to listenning to all 3 version if you’re up for it, just hearing how it evolves over time.

Context for the songs from this video:
The first one, Anarchy Rainbow, is the almost main song from the idols of Deep Cut for Splatoon 3 and is played exclusively during splatfests. A splatfest is when the player base gets to vote between a set of topics, usually it's only two topics, but there's three idols in this game so instead there's 3 topics. Anarchy Rainbow is only played in the outside map when the 3 idols are performing.
The second song is one of the songs that play in battle, specifically battle theme two. Till Depth Do Us Part is also sung by Deep Cut.
Tentacle To The Metal is another battle theme but I couldn't find out which battle track it is. This one isn't from Deep Cut, but is instead from Damp Socks, a band that also composed Candy Coated Rocks, feat Off The Hook which was the two person idol band from Splatoon 2.
Liquid Sunshine is (last time I checked) the most recent song to come out for Splatoon 3. It is from the Squid Sisters, the main band for Splatoon 1, feat Ian BGM, who is literally just Big Man from Deep Cut but without the rest of the band. Liquid Sunshine plays during regular battles.
Frothy Waters is one of the Salmon Run songs that only plays in certain occurrences(I think it mainly plays during glow fly rounds). Salmon Run is the 'work' game mode. Frothy Waters is from ω-3, a band made of salmonids, which are made to be bad guys for Salmon Run. The band uses a lot of cello, timpanis and electronic sounds.
The last song, Bear With Me, was also called Anomaly Showdown by fans as we didn't have an official name for it for ages. It's the main boss theme that plays while the player fights Mr Grizz, and has many sounds in it that are reminiscent of many of the sounds from the Salmon Run songs. This is because Mr Grizz is the CEO of Grizzco, the company in charge of Salmon Run.
liquid sunshine and til depth do us part only play during splatfests
Frothy Waters plays during the more fun sort of chaotic waves like giant tornado, mothership, goldie seeking and mudmouths. The one that plays during glowflies (called "rush"), fog, cohock charge and grillers is Fishing Frenzy
Omg I’ve lowkey been wanting this series!!! If you do a part two, I HIGHLY reccomend taking a look at these:
- Blitz It! (by ABXY/Chirpy Chips)
- #14 Crush (by D3df1sh)
- Broken Coral (by Ink Theory)
- Fins in the Air (by Deep Cut)
- Nasty Majesty (by Pearl + Marina)
And honestly I would love to see an entire video dedicated to all of the different versions of the song “Now or Never!” The different takes on it from the in-game bands are all so unique and cool! :)
chirpy chips slaps
FELLOW BROKEN CORAL FAN?????
Splatoon is so good at breaking the rules in a way that you still end up with a really fun and cool song. The music is so central to everything about the series.
One of my favorite aspects of the world building in this game is you’ll notice a lot of style and genre changes in the music, each one of those style changes is credited to a different in game band or artist, and most of the artists will have 3-4 songs that absolutely Sound like they come from the same album
Splatoon 3 is one of my favorite games of all time! Glad you reacted to it!
Ironically, it’s probably my 3rd favourite game of all time followed by roblox (the hidden extremely good games, NOT the popular terrible games) and finally celeste (because I love platformers and celeste perfects it so well!)
@@HyperNova808 nice! My favorite video games are FNAF SB at number 1, Pokemon X/Y at number 2, and Splatoon 3 at- you guessed it number 3
@@EclipseGamin_ that’s a good lineup!
@@HyperNova808 :D
Nice picks,x/y are so underrated games and though I haven't played Celeste yet I want to
frothy waters is one of the tracks for the “salmon run” mode which is coop pve. the music (done by in universe bad w-3) is supposed to combine rapidly changing time signatures, carnival-esque music, and war drums its super interesting
Interesting to hear the opinion of an outsider who has never played the games or heard the music before. Obviously, music like Frothy Waters and Bear With Me make more sense with the context of the story happening in the game, like Frothy Waters being associated with being overwhelmed with literally hundreds of chaotic and ravaging salmonids, and Bear With Me having some of the Grizzco theme and story mode song parts put together. There's still plenty of songs that are different in the other games, so I'd like to hear your input on them too! And even recommend getting into the game if you're interested! This video kind of reminded me of how I reacted to the music when I first heard it with Splatoon 1.
I can't believe you chose the final song to be Bear With Me, which is hands down the oddest song to come from splatoon ever
No time signature at all 😭😭😭
Hey I just discovered you. Let me give you some quick context on the stuff you heard:
So first the Idol stuff:
"Anarchy Rainbow" and "Till Depth Do us part" are performed by a fictional idol trio called Deep Cut, they are the mascots of Splatoon 3.
"Liquid Sunshine" is played by "the Squid Sisters", they're idols from the first Splatoon game.
"Tentacle to the Metal" are sung by another fictional idol duo from Splatoon2, called "Off the Hook." This game has lots of these fictional bands sung by human VAs and some studio magic.
Okay so Frothy Waters and the bear thing...
There's a game mode in Splatoon 2&3 called "Salmon Run", you are employed by Mr. Grizz (the bear you saw) who is paying you to risk your life to steal precious golden salmon eggs from savage salmon-monsters, and rushing to meet the quota before the time runs out. Frothy Waters makes sense there cus it really does feel like a chaotic warzone.
"Bear with me" is a tune from a story mode boss fight. It uses the leitmotif from the company lobby where you start a Salmon Run shift.
Please do more!! If you do, I hope you do Color Pulse, Nasty Majesty, and Into the light. Thank you for listening to Splatoon music! :)
I will always support getting new people getting hooked on Splatoon music. Too many people dismiss the music because of the game’s colorful atmosphere and it being “for kids,” but so the series has some of my favorite music in gaming. You know a game is going all out for their music when they even make up lore for fictional music bands that write the music in the game. If you do another video on Splatoon, I have a suggestion for a couple tracks to check out from Splatoon 2 (preferably in this order):
- Bomb Rush Blush (a solo piece sung by Callie, one of the game’s celebrity characters)
- Tide Goes Out (a solo by Marie, another celebrity, part of the “Squid Sisters” music group with Callie)
- All three phases of the final boss of Splatoon 2 (phases 1 and two remix the first two tracks in a really interesting way, and phase 3, Calamari Inkantation, is kind of the main theme of the single player campaign.)
Finally (last thing, I swear) the track “Bear With Me” is the theme for the first half of the final boss of Splatoon 3. It’s actually a remix of the hub area from a game mode in Splatoon 2. (Long story short, the bear you saw, Mr. Grizz, was running a really shady business, which was a side gamemode. In Splatoon 3, it’s revealed that this shady business has actually been a scheme to gather materials to create what is essentially a world-ending weapon, which the player then needs to stop.)
Splatoon lore is absolutely amazing even with amazing characters, you would love it! It gets dark at times to
I think Added context is necessary for the Splatoon soundtrack, specifically that there are reoccurring fictional bands and artist that all have their own style of music and lore, allowing Splatoon to have a wayyy wider range of genres represented.
Splatoon may be rated E10+ (and kids can definitely have fun with it), but the skill ceiling is incredibly high and it has a thriving competitive community. The movement options and weapons being so fundamentally different from other shooters is part of the appeal imo.
As for context on things, the music of the Splatoon series is very much interwoven with its story. Almost every track in all 3 games is entirely diegetic and exists in-universe. For example, Anarchy Rainbow and Till Depth Do Us Part are both by the band Deep Cut, who run the Anarchy Splatcast and are kind of the face of Splatoon 3 (each of the three games have an idol band that run the in-game news). Tentacle to the Metal is by Damp Socks ft. Off the Hook (the latter of which was the idol band in Splatoon 2), Liquid Sunshine is by the Squid Sisters ft. Ian BGM (the former of which was the idol band in Splatoon 1), Frothy Waters is by ω-3 (whose music plays during Salmon Run, Splatoon's PvE mode), and Bear With Me is by Grizzco Industries.
As an example of the bands' stories, Squid Squad, a band from Splatoon 1, broke up between Splatoon 1 and 2. Their bassist joined up with someone else in Splatoon 2 to form Diss-Pair, and the rest of Squid Squad reformed in Splatoon 3 with a new bassist as Front Roe.
Yessss!! Splatoon! The easiest way to describe it is a turf war game with cephalopods and You shoot ink out of your weapons. Basically best way to describe it XD also there's fish genocide. Splatoon 2s fly octo fly is an absolute bop. There are so many awesome themes. Definetly an enjoyable game music wise
Side note: Anarchy rainbow is the plaza music and till depth do us part is one of the actual battle themes.
I highly recommend listening to literally every splatoon song, they're all sooo good
Edit: honestly, just find videos/playlists of the full ost for Splatoon 1, 2, Splatoon 2's dlc; Octo Expansion, and 3. They all have amazing songs throughout the singleplayer, multiplayer, and all other modes.
You should definitely have a little context on where these songs play in the game, makes them even more enjoyable to listen to! Like especially for Salmon Run songs (like Frothy Water) or the Mister Grizz theme (Bear With Me), the context really enhances the songs!
"Frothy Waters" plays during special waves during the game's horde mode. It is absolutely supposed to make you feel anxious.
"Bear with Me" is the theme that plays during the story mode's final boss. It is supposed to sound off and unsettling in the beginning and has motifs from songs in Splatoon 2's "Happy Little Workers," which does relate to the plot of the story.
All the music in the games actually does have lore revolving around in universe bands and you should absolutely look into more Splatoon Music!
The last songs were from a like zombie horde mode (bear is leader of cooperation that farm the zombies eggs[salmon in this case]) witch explains the anxiety they were going for or the odd sounds.
Hah i'm so glad you listened to salmon run stuff, wished it had been deluge dirge instead of frothy waters but frothy waters is indeed the crazier one out of the two. Also it was mostly splatfest songs so it was more a pop aesthetic than normal, as the splatfest songs lean more in that direction, normal splatoon songs go everywhere.
Salmon run is just crazy chaos
Story mode is is also crazy chaos
turf war is pop, punk, rock, whatever it's all chaos
Fun fact about all the vocals: as far as I know everything is sung by actual people, and then put under a bunch of distortions. Rapping in a fake language at some of the speeds these songs go is really impressive to me lol.
The Splatoon 1 OST is absolutely iconic! It would be so cool to see you listen to the original OST sometime! :D
Splatoon definitely has a very unique soundtrack!
The series has a pretty interesting history: it was the first new major IP from Nintendo in over a decade, and was a huge success despite being released in the final years of one of Nintendo's worst-selling systems. Probably it was because Splatoon appeals to a wide demographic thanks to its very accessible but surprisingly deep gameplay, cute character designs, and detailed worldbuilding with a rather dark lore. It's pretty admirable that Splatoon has developed such an active community with only three games (well, three-and-a-half if you count Octo Expansion) and an obscure manga.
If I could recommend another game OST, I'd love to see Cuphead. The best way I can describe it is frantic, jazzy, and a whole lot of brass!
Context for bear with me: is the boss theme of Mr.Grizz the CEO of Grizzco a evil corporation that is blamed for the war between salmonids and the rest of the sea life, Mr.Grizz was a surviving bear of the apocalypse that whip out humanity since he arrived in a space arc made by humans to keep some animals alive but it miserably failed and once he returned to earth he encountered some crystals the surviving humans made with the evolved cephalopods which eventually mutated all the sea life into what’s now (the funky squid kids that absorbed the genetically memory of humanity the crystals also had) and it also mutated Grizz into a titanic bear that looks like a plushie
Then he started the war with the salmonids using the religion of the inklings to collect their eggs and create a ooze that turns non-mammals like fish,crustaceans and cephalopods into mammals
He tried spreading it using a rocket left by the few surviving humans (which died trying to use it) and zombified a entire army of Octarians (a octopus race) but got defeated by the squid beak (a government organization) and is now drifting in space regretting all of he’s choices
that's kinda spoilers tho
@@milfmacron she asked for it and she kinda spoiled herself a lot by just seeing bear mr Grizz
And I don’t know if she’s gonna even play it
Something interesting about the splatoon ost is every song is credited to an in universe music group with their own styles and character designs that reflect the genre they fall into.
If there’s a song you like you can actually search the bands name and find songs with a similar vibe and composition.
"My editor said this [frothy waters] is just his brain" he's so real for that💀👍
The off time of "bear with me" it theorized(for what I have read) mean to represent how it trying integrate by force something that not longer have place in there.
nahhhhhhhhh not youtube calling this ninjala
Highly highly HIGHLY reccomend listening to Two Shadows in the Sun. It doesn’t matter if you do it on video or not, it’s just that it is so beautiful in the context of the game with it being in a long dead civilization of humans who left behind a city that was holding out hope to create a new life. It’s truly so powerful in some moments for an ambient track and I just hope you give it a listen.
every single song in this game is made by an in universe band
We want more if this please, splatoon does have the strangest music on the planet and i want to see you react to more of it.
also the first few song were the battle music, then the frothy waters song was from salmon run, another game mode where u fight off zombie-like salmonids, and the last song was from the single player campaign, which you can tell all of them have completely different identities of music
The band that made Tentacle to the Metal, Damp Socks, was formed by the idol group from Splatoon 2, Off the Hook, and a few band members they scouted while on tour! So if you want to hear more of the vocals, songs by Off the Hook are where to go! For something more Jazz-like, Damp Socks has another song and there's also Ink Theory from Splatoon 2! All 3 games have amazing osts but I'm really liking 3's the most in nearly all the modes (singleplayer, multiplayer, salmon run)
I'd love to see more reactions to Splatoon music, the games really have soundtracks unlike any other! It'd be cool to see your reactions to the different variations of "Splattack" (Original, C-Side, and Octo) which is the "main" Splatoon theme, and "Calamari Inkantation" (Original, Spicy, and 3MIX) which has been the "final boss, final phase" music for each game. "Fly Octo Fly ~ Ebb and Flow" is also the final boss theme for Splatoon 2's DLC and is my favorite song, definitely worth a listen as well.
You should listen to these!
#14 Crush from Splat2 (Octo Expansion),
the one the fandom has collectively named Bang Bang Bing from Splat3,
#11 Above from Octo Expansion,
and "Crater Eighters Routine" from Splat3 (because it's funny)
honestly though if you ever come back to Splatoon 3 music, you have to come back to the song that is the game's literal life-pulse: the Calamari Inkantation, specifically, the 3MIX. i don't mind if you skip the versions from previous games but they're usually used as the true final phase of the main story's final boss as the series own "Proof of a Hero" if you've ever listened to Monster Hunter music before, or if you haven't, it's usually the game's "Hype Music", a song that designates the final boss isn't the one in control anymore. you, the player character, are, and you are going in for the KRILL!
bonus context for the Calamari Inkantation 3MIX: throughout the game you are being supported by the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie, and along the way a rival band appears to try to stop you from gathering plot important objects. and before then, you bump into DJ Octavio, who is the fakeout final boss/first boss of the game. the 3mix is all 3 of of those conflicting parties taking one look at Mr. Grizz and going "let's save the world together and do it in funky fresh style! BRING THE DIVINE MELODY!" also you get to Co-Pilot the mech that DJ Octavio fights you with WHILE YOUR LITTLE BUDDY SMALLFRY BECOMES EMPOWERED BY THE MUSIC AND BECOMES HUGEFRY
I would love love if you reacted to more of the splatoon OST because no one does!! Blitz It, #8 Regret, Clickbait, #14 Crush, Endolphin Surge, Pour It On, Fly Octo Fly, gosh there is so many great songs that aren't really talked about when people mention game OSTs!! Also Tentacular Circus would be funny to see someone hear who hasn't played the game before!
I would recommend doing a video reacting to all the Calamari Inkantation versions there are 4 in-game, and the 5th version being a live concert one Nintendo did using holograms
@@candycornshrimp fair enough, Then let's keep it to the principal 3 of the games + main live concert versions for 6 songs(?)
I was going to ask what's the 4th one but I assume you are referring to smallfry's version?
@@woomy7.7 I was actually talking about the "temple version", you know, the one Callie and Marie listened when they were children
I think the name wasCalamri Shanty(?)
@@marioalbertomoreno3819 Oh that one, I think it's called calamari County
4:36 Something from Splatoon 2?
_Fly Octo Fly - Ebb & Flow_
Chopscrewey.
Shipwreckin'.
Turqoise October, the whole Story Mode ost.
Note in Bear with Me, the vocals are different and less underwatery than the rest of the songs.
Do more from the whole series.
There’s a lot of great stuff!
Splatoon’s soundtrack is so diverse with so many different genre’s and sounds, a lot because it’s all basically in-universe musicians behind it all. Each song builds more upon its world, with each one having a unique character/band behind it.
I super recommend listening to more Splatoon music in general. Some bands/songs I recommend (warning: this will be long)
Splattack by Squid Squad (or some of its remixes/covers) the series’ most iconic song I argue.
C-Side is a very metal type band with some really good songs, they also made a cover of Splattack
Now or Never i’d say is another of the series most iconic songs, with multiple covers and reiterations in-universe made of it. I think there’s like 6 versions of the same song, all by different in-universe artists. I’d recommend the original by Squid Squad, the cover by C-Side, and the splatfest versions by Squid Sisters and Deep Cut. I love this song because it has so many different versions with different vibes and personalities but it all serves the same purpose.
Omega-3, who made Frothy Waters, are a band that consists of Salmon people who make some insane, chaotic, and purely bizzare music. I don’t know what genre to consider it. But more of their songs are worth a listen if you wanna listen to some wacky shit
Ink Theory is a jazz band with its own dedicated kazoo player, I think that’s all I have to say.
Hooked by Hightide Era is one of my personal favorites. I love its intense piano playing.
Off The Hook has a lot of good and iconic songs, I’d recommend Nasty Majesty, Acid Hues, Ebb and Flow, Fly Octo Fly, Color Pulse, or Into the Light. Their music is very diverse and inspired by American musicians.
Squid Sisters, who are behind Liquid Sunshine, is very inspired by J-Pop. I’d recommend probably City of Color and Ink me Up.
Calamari Inkantation another super iconic song. in-universe, it’s an old folk song a special power behind it that inspires and alters DNA. Its most known version is by the Squid Sisters (They have 2 version, Spicy Calamari Inkantation and the original Calamari Inkantation. I recommend the original it’s just better imo).
The most recent iteration is a collaboration between Squid Sisters and Deep Cut called Calamari Inkantation 3MIX, which I think is the best version the series has of the song.
(Edit: adding just one more band lol
Sashimori has a very unique sound, with some of their vocals being samples from human voices instead of Splatoon’s usual “fish language”)
You already listened to a couple Deep Cut songs but they’re still worth a mention. Fins in The Air is a personal favorite.
There are so many more songs and bands but I think I’ve already mentioned too many. Would love to see another reaction video but I think these are also just worth listening to on your own!
hard agree just dont like splat 2 battle music
@@PrincePuppy611 it’s a little basic and laskluster yeah, like it’s not bad but compared to 1 and 3 it’s just kinda forgettable. Splatoon 2 still has some good ones though, Sashimori imo has some of the best music in the series
I hope that you eventually listen to "two planets approach the roach limit ver 1" from Kirby and the forgotten land.
she will eventually bc she started playing it after that video
Roche?
@@wilh3lmmusic
ye they meant roche
Absolutely would love another react video to more songs! "Calamari Inkantation 3MIX" is by far the most iconic song from the series and just a no-holds-barred banger. (You can also get a lot of clickthru traffic by including that name in a thumbnail, as it's the one song almost all players know by name.)
first phase bear with me is polytempic. the repeating synth is at about 122.625 bpm, meanwhile the drumbeat is at 126 bpm.
You have to do more Splatoon songs to completely understand most of the game. Might have to do multiple videos though, there’s so many songs that so many musicians, composers and regular joes just don’t acknowledge. There’s the story mode songs for each game, I’d highly recommend Splatoon 1’s story mode songs, but the other two’s are notable as well. Then more multiplayer songs, but I can’t name a certain game for those. Then the Octo Expansion songs, those should probably be a priority. Lastly, the final boss music. You’ve already seen the Splatoon 3 final boss theme, but there’s technically two other final boss themes. One is the theme for the final boss of the previous games (which you should totally check out, his themes in the other two), who comes back as the first boss for this game. The other is the last part of the boss fight which is a classic song from the other games remixed for this game, Calamari Inkantation 3-MIX
if you're planning to check out more music, you should check out 'shark bytes' and 'ebb & flow/fly octo fly' from S2's dlc, octo expansion. and maybe 'crater eighters routine' from S3
I'd reccomend that you listen to the next tracks with gameplay from that part behind them! The action is a huge part of what makes the OST so damn good
"This one is all chaos and no order"
Everyone who knows what the theme of the second final splatfest was:
This video made me a subscriber. I loved seeing your reactions to the squibberish 😂❤
I highly recommend all of splatoons music! All the way from splatoon 1 to splatoon 3! I can't even recommend a band or a song from the game bc they're all so good! I think if you do another splatoon video, you should honestly check out each song from each band and idol group👀 it's a lot but it's definitely worth it lolol :3
Edit: also they host irl concerts so definitely check those out! They completely remix the music and add onto it and it makes each song so much better! They only do this with the idols tho, they've done a few songs from the bands but not much.
I'm subbing!! I lvoe music and videogames and this channel is just a mashup of my loves. So I'm very hype to watch the rest of your videos! tysm
Aww thank you so much for the love! I really hope you enjoy your time here ☺️
*Context:*
00:00 that is the theme of the main plaza during splatfest, not a sound you hear during the actually matches but rather when you prepare for them in the Plaza
03:28 , 05:58 & 08:28 are songs you actually hear during onlinebattles
10:40 this is a theme for Salmonrun, an online Co-op where you battle not Squids, but Salmons, and as a different species they also have a very different culture and that's why the vibe is so different in this.
The mode consists of multiple Waves of enemies that you and your team need to withstand and is sometimes very stressful + the odd nature of salmons and you get a theme that is very weird and repetitive.
13:13 is a boss theme, that's why it is multiphased, and just like the salmons it is also a battle against a non-Squid enemie, so the theme doesn't feature the same kind of lyrics as the first themes did.
Hope that clears up some confusion about the shift in style for these themes
I hope I see more splatoon! There’s so many good songs in these games, one of my top franchises for sure
At 11:40 - "What's happening? I'm scared" = Me, every time Frothy Waters starts to play during Salmon Run 🤣🤣🤣
For the past I think coming on 8 years the splatoon soundtracks have been some of my favorites ever, outside of just being my favorite gaming franchise ever. The music is all so unique and vibrant, and it often feels like the composers were just told to do whatever the hell they wanted because I've never seen a soundtrack with more musical diversity. You should absolutely check out music from the past games! From splatoon 2 I'd recommend:
- Nasty Majesty
- Shooting Starfish
- #8 Regret
- #11 Above
- Shipwreckin'
- Muck Warfare
- Fly Octo Fly ~ Ebb & Flow
And from splatoon 1 I'd recommend:
- Ink or Sink
- Friend List
- Sucker Punch
- Eight Legged Advance
- Tentacular Circus
- Splattack!
- Calamari Inkantation
Splatoon has different fictional bands that make the multiplayer themes. So, I'd recommend Hightide Era and the Chirpy Chips from Splatoon 1 (Someone even made a "Buddy Holly" cover in the style of the Chirpy Chips).
Splatoon 3's single player ost is also pretty amazing, so I think you can find them as the Alterna Mission themes. But, each one of those themes recently got named so they might be called something different now.
you NEED to react to calamari inkantation 3mix and fly octo fly!
If you do a follow up Splatoon video I’d love to see your reaction to
Acid Hues - Splatoon 2
Ebb and Flow (Octo) - Splatoon 2
And of course, Calamari Inkantation 3MIX - Splatoon 3
you NEED to listen to more, especially clickbait and the calimari inkantation 3mix
it would be REALLY cool to see a reaction of clickbait and then a reaction to bait & click immediately afterwards
11:44 Yeah that's the point.
It's the "Zombie Hoard" mode of the game.
I highly recommend reacting to Splatoon 1 and 2 music. A wild but fun experience
For songs you should hear at some point, both Fins and Fiddles (Bottom Feeders) and Blitz It! (Chirpy Chirps) are really good (:
You should do a part 2 💕 I hope you consider playing the game or at least watching a playthrough to get some more context of the music ^^
Please please PLEASE listen to the soundtrack from Splatoon 1! Still has my personal favorite music of the series, especially with the single player campaign music!
Imma be a bit biased here, but i'd love if you could listen to Colour Pulse, Fly Octo Fly- Ebb and Flow and Into the Light! They're made by my favourite in game musicians!
Me too!!
if you do one of these again, PLEASE take a listen to Paintscrapper, it is my favorite Splatoon song and a type of song you wouldnt expect from the "paintball shooter with funny colors"
as for a second song, id say Clickbait
also most of splatoon players dont like Salmon Run music which is what Frothy Waters is lol its definitely weird
Gotta listen to Turquoise October stuff from Splatoon 1 and 2, it's some of the best and most interesting video game music I've heard, and I've hear a lot of video game music. It uses so many different and weird instruments but it works SO well.
bear with me is a fight against a giant capitalist bear in space that wants to turn all sea life into mammals via fuzzy goo in a process that hr doesn't want you calling hairmageddon.
If I could recommend a game to react to I'd say Ori and the Will of the Wisps. That game has a phenomenal fully orchestrated soundtrack with a lot of recurring motifs. Some of my favorites are:
Main theme
Mouldwood Depths
Escaping from a Foul Presence
In Wonderment of Winter
Reunification
Mora the Spider (this one especially)
And Shriek and Ori
there should also be some songs from Ori and the blind forest, like riding with the wind and light of Nibel (credit song)
Ori is SO GOOD moras theme is amazing
A lot of the splatoon songs are boppy and really good but some good for a video would be the music in alterna where you can unlock tapes I think. Whether you listen to the full version of the songs or just the restored versions would be up to you
@11:42
"WhatIsHappeningI'mScared..."
Grizzzled Salmonrunner: "First time?"
"That sounds very underwater-y" that gurgly "wah-weh-wuh" is the vocals of a manta ray named Big Man and I love him
Can I recommend some songs? Maybe some paper Mario songs like “Brobot type L” “Doopliss” “ultimate show” “Lord crumps theme” and any of the boss themes of the origami king
Okay so must listens are
Shark Bytes
Nasty Majesty
Calamari Inkantation (from 1,2, or 3)
Tomorrow’s nostalgia today
All the Deep Cut solos (Shiver, Frye, and Big Man)
Please accept these requests, I promise you’ll love them!!!
1:35 it's like a mixture of traditional japanese, indian and brazilian music
I absolutely love it when music producers who dont play splatoon listen to the OST. Their reactions are so silly :3
(please make more.)
The reason they are different is because the faster and higher energy ones are from turf war battles, which are where you have to cover the most of the floor in a map with ink. It has music in the background because music is important to the game because it’s so unique. The weird one is from salmon run, a game mode where you kill salmonids, basically salmons, to get golden eggs. The last song is the final boss of the game which is the bear who is in charge of the salmon run company. It’s in the story mode. The music in the different game modes are really different, and made by different characters in the game, and the different characters and game modes are completely different so that’s why
Wow longest comment I’ve ever typed
Crazy Rolling Money from kirby would give Frothy Waters a run for its money.
I'd recommend basically any of the Splatoon 1 Turf War tracks, especially Metalopod by Squid Squad. Although anything from Chirpy Chips is also good.
From Splatoon 3, I'd suggest Paintscraper by C-side.
It's always so funny to have someone outside of the community looking in, reacting to some of splatoons music/games
Bear with me is actually supposed to be final boss music from the single player mode, and I think it would be really fun if you did more Splatoon. I would recommend finding fly octo fly~ebb and flow, blitz it, hide and sleek, and hooked :)
This was such a good video :)
If you wanna listen to more splatoon I recommend the Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion DLC sountrack.
ah and i’ve already commented but if you’re interested, please take a look at all three versions of “now or never” from the splatoon games!! they play during the final minute of turf wars to give you that final rush, and they made different versions of it for each game which are all tons of fun to listen to.
ty for making this video!! splatoon is one of my favourite games and it’s soundtrack is always on my mind, so seeing someone cover it is always fun
That context on the various songs you listened to that you asked for - i.e. when they play during the game:
Anarchy Rainbow - BGM for the game's hub during the Splatfest events, which is themed as a nighttime concert as part of a street festival.
Till Depth Do Us Part - One of the songs that plays during PvP matches in those Splatfest events.
Tentacle to the Metal - One of the songs that plays during PvP matches outside of Splatfest events.
Liquid Sunshine - One of the songs that plays during PvP matches in Splatfest events.
Frothy Waters - The song that plays during the _easier_ special waves during the game's hoard mode.
Bear With Me - Final boss theme for the story mode.
Yes please do more! I love it when people react to Splatoon songs as the game is underrated. The music is so good and ranges in so many genres. If you want pop, go for Off The Hook's music, want heavy metal, try Paintscraper.
