Chorus of Calamari County
Chorus of Calamari County, also known as Calamari Shanty in the European version, is a folk-song preformed by the Squid Sisters in the 1st annual Youth Folk-Singing contest. This song rose them to fame because it caught the eye of committee member "Shy-Ho-Shy", and helped them arrive to Inkopolis. Contrary to popular belief, the Squid Sisters actually did not compose this song, it's actually a song predating a lot of Splatoon's history.
Description
Chorus of Calamari County starts with a Taiko, a Japanese drum, playing a slow and steady beat. Next, a Koto, a Japanese guitar, joins in and plays the melody heard in the Calamari Inkantation cover. After that, a shakuhachi, a Japanese flute, gets mixed in and plays the melody of Chorus of Calamari County, which bears resemblance to the future cover. Later, the chorus starts singing the melody the koto plays. Traditional Japanese folk song sound effects are played during the song.
Trivia
