''Chorus of Calamari County'' starts with a ''[[wikipedia:Taiko|taiko]]'' 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.

Chorus of Calamari County, also known as Calamari Shanty in the European version, is a folk-song preformed by the Squid Sisters in the first 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 in Inkopolis. Contrary to popular belief, the Squid Sisters actually did not compose this song; in actuality, it predates Splatoon's history. It is danced during Gachi Bon Matsuri.
Chorus of Calamari County starts with a taiko 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.
In the song, waves crashing and talking ambience can be heard. This means the song was possibly recorded in a beach. This also means this probably isn't the original Chorus of Calamari County played in the 1st annual Youth Folk-Singing contest.
