Alterna Citizen Program M-??: mY dEAR is a song in Splatoon 3.

Description

Alterna Citizen Program M-??: mY dEAR plays in the clean room of 0000 After Alterna in Return of the Mammalians. This soundtrack is similar to Alterna Citizen Program M-01: Basic Course (Morning Fog) with the ambience of bird sounds, although different in a distinct melody and absence of distorted sound.

Like the other songs that play in the clean rooms, this song loops unusually compared to most other in-game music due to its audio file containing two loops of the song that fade out completely before repeating. The music can thus be heard in-game fading out and restarting if the player waits in the clean room for about one minute and thirty-five seconds.

In Splatoon 3, the song has a filter applied that makes it sound as if it is being played from within the clean room through a low-quality speaker. In Splatune 3, as well as in the Nintendo Music app, the song is present without any such filter.

Etymology

Alterna Citizen Program is a term used by O.R.C.A. during its introduction in the Japanese version of the game.[1] "mY dEAR" is stylized to resemble someone typing "My Dear" in title case using the Shift key on a keyboard, but with the Caps Lock key unknowingly enabled.
