Wave Goodbye

Wave Goodbye is a song performed by Squid Sisters. It is played during the end credits of Splatoon 3's story mode: Return of the Mammalians.

Description
Wave Goodbye is an electronic J-pop song, featuring drawn out long vocals and a calm demeanor slowly building to a crescendo. The song begins with a slow tempo, but transitions into an upbeat style as it continues. Towards its middle section the song slows again, and the Squid Sisters pause singing as unknown deeper vocals briefly sing the lyrics to Calamari Inkantation. The Squid Sisters then accompany the other vocals in a canon style, mixing the lyrics from Wave Goodbye's chorus and Calamari Inkantation.

Wave Goodbye plays during the credit sequence while the player is free to shoot ink out into space where the final boss battle takes place. The ink will explode like the shot from a Blaster before fading into the abyss.

Lyrics
The booklet included with Splatune 3 gives the official lyrics for Wave Goodbye. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanese hiragana and katakana simply give the pronunciation.

Wave Goodbye (In the Studio)
The behind-the-scene video uploaded by Nintendo uses a shortened version of the song.

Tommorow's Nostalgia Today
Wave Goodbye can be heard throughout Tomorrow's Nostalgia Today, with lyrics and sounds sampled from the song, just more upbeat.

Etymology
Wave Goodbye is a pun on wave, and waving goodbye as the credits song.
