Talk:Splatune 3 (Splatoon 3 Original Soundtrack)

The third character
The character on Disc 3 is likely Mr. Grizz as he appears during the Alterna Space Center sequence, hidden in promotional materials to avoid spoilers. 06:31, 28 February 2023 (UTC)


 * thats what i was thinking, as the brown fur, and even the purple ooze can be seen, should this be stated in the article? LakePuddle 🗩 🖉 23:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Translations for 上げ潮ノッテモーテル and 辛酸ナメマンタ
Since nobody has done anything yet, I thought maybe I should put in my two cents:
 * 上げ潮ノッテモーテル: "Popular Rising Tide Rider"
 * 上げ潮ノッテ comes from "上げ潮に乗って", meaning "riding the rising tide" (smooth sailing).
 * モーテル may be a play on "モテる", meaning "to be popular" (typically with the opposite gender).
 * 辛酸ナメマンタ: "Hardship-Ridden Manta"
 * 辛酸ナメマンタ is a wordplay on "辛酸を嘗めました", meaning "experienced hardship" (literally: "tasted the sweets and bitters").
 * マンタ is "manta", a reference to Big Man's species and Japanese name.

I should clarify that I am not a native Japanese speaker and hopefully someone else who is can step in. Harimaron (talk) 12:39, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Interview
The soundtrack isn't coming out until two days before the Mario Movie comes out in Japan. But in a promotional picture, we get a spoiler for the interview. It appears to be between Marie, Marina, and Big Man. This is what I was able to translate:

"Marie (Squid Sisters) x Marina (Off the Hook) x Big Man (Deep Cut)

Marie: Marina, this is your first time meeting Big Man from Deep Cut, right?

Marina: I was a fan of Deep Cut's songs, but I didn't know them in person."

I'm not an expert, but there is more that is cropped out, so I can't translate that.

Composer credits column
It would be nice if we had a dedicated column for crediting composers, on both this album and all others. In order to make room for it, I suggest putting both Japanese kanji and their romanizations in the same column. It would take up more vertical space, but free up horizontal space. I propose just putting a break after the kanji and having the romaji in the same box. But if anyone else has better ideas for how to format this, let me know. It'll be a few weeks before I can act on this plan for every album, so let's talk about the best way to achieve this. HLRxxKarl (talk) 21:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
