==Description==
==Description==
ω-3's music, which plays in ''[[Salmon Run]]'', consists of a cello, a timpani, and synthesizers, sound effects, and other percussion instruments made by the DJ. Their music is usually very frantic, relating to the chaotic nature brought upon by Salmon Run. Their songs also have quite fast tempos which change regularly. They also use a variety of time signatures and rarely use common time (4/4), which helps to add to the confusion and disorientation. Each instrument usually has a solo in each piece, where it is singled out and plays a virtuous piece of music. Strange sound effects are usually thrown into some pieces, emphasizing the weird nature of Salmon Run.

===The Valiant Green Flame Born in Jigokudani===
'''The Valiant Green Flame Born in Jigokudani''' is the timpanist, who plays with all his heart and soul. He is always facing ahead and pushing toward his goals, which is typical for his species. While he's unskilled at taking into account the feelings of others, his one-of-a-kind violent rhythm cheers up and inspires all Salmonid warriors.<ref name="translation source"></ref><ref>[[Inkipedia:Twitter archive/2017/September#September_27|SplatoonJP on Twitter]]</ref><ref name="haikara"/>

===The cellist===
===The Faithful Servant of the True Salmon Emperor Hizunamasu===
After the long wait, let's introduce the members. He is the leader and composer, a cello player. It seems he's in his 50s. A stubborn person who does not listen to anything and who won't recognize anything but the most radical works, but cares about the delicate aspects of the atmosphere. Incredibly clumsy, he can only express these feelings in songs.<ref name="translation source">[https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/comments/72r33g/introducing_%CF%893_omega_three_the_salmonid_band/dnklsp2/ {{RDT}} Translation for band member descriptions]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/912967586639314944 {{TWI}} Cellist description from @SplatoonJP]</ref>
'''The Faithful Servant of the True Salmon Emperor Hizunamasu''' is the group's DJ, a rough-tempered Salmonid with an oppsitional stance towards everything, causing him to act disrespectfully towards the other members.

===The timpani player===
===The Firstborn Child of Alkyne, the Hidden Blade of Yakiharas===
In charge of the timpani, he's in his late 20s, as people say. Always forward-facing, he puts his heart and soul into his performance. A sharp guy who does nothing but pushes forward toward his goal.

===The DJ===
==Quotes==
The DJ, he's the youngest out of all the members. With a considerably rough temperament, he's an individual that seems to take an attitude in opposition to most else. His behavior toward the older members is always irreverent and disrespectful.

The Faithful Servant of the True Salmon Emperor Hizunamasu

The Faithful Servant of the True Salmon Emperor Hizunamasu is the group's DJ, a rough-tempered Salmonid with an oppsitional stance towards everything, causing him to act disrespectfully towards the other members.

Quotes

This Salmonid three-piece band includes a DJ, a timpani player, and yes, a cellist. Their music is like a beacon for Salmonids swimming upstream…the irregular beat guiding the way.
