Liquid Sunshine is a song performed by the Squid Sisters and Ian BGM that appears during Splatfests in Splatoon 3. It is one of four songs that can play during Splatfest battles, added into rotation during Fresh Season 2023 and first playing in the Nessie vs. Aliens vs. Bigfoot Splatfest.

Description

Liquid Sunshine is an upbeat Shibuya-kei song with elements of chiptune. The song starts with an instrumental opening, followed by solo vocal verses by Callie, Marie, and Ian BGM respectively, though Callie harmonizes with Marie for the last phrase of Marie's verse. The pre-chorus features mixed singing by Callie and Marie. During the first half of the chorus, Callie and Marie each sing a verse, with Callie singing together with Marie during the last phrase. The second half of the chorus features mixed singing, first by Callie and Ian BGM, then by Marie and Ian BGM, followed by all three singing together, and then just Callie and Marie. Finally, a transitional bridge, which includes Callie and Marie chanting together, brings the song back to the start for looping.

Lyrics

The Japanese music video gives the official lyrics for Liquid Sunshine. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanese hiragana and katakana simply give the pronunciation. The English music video published by Nintendo of America gives the official romanized lyrics, which contain several differences to the original Japanese version.

The lyrics in the music video are colored to indicate the singers. The following lyrics listings are annotated with legends to represent the singers.
