Color Pulse is a song performed by Off the Hook.

Description

Color Pulse is an energetic pop song, prominently featuring Pearl rapping whilst Marina sings. After the intro, Marina sings as Pearl intercuts with a few lines, before rapping her verse, whilst Marina harmonizes in the background with the same lines as the first section. Marina then sings a section, which she repeats with the final line slightly changed before the song is looped again. During Splatfests, Off the Hook performed this song at Deca Tower in Inkopolis Square. It can also be heard in Squid Beatz 2, with maximum scores of 158 and 256 in Normal and Hard modes respectively. Prior to version 5.2.0, it had to be unlocked by hearing it during a Splatfest.

In Splatoon 3, the song can be heard in the jukebox as of version 7.0.0 if the Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass has been downloaded.

Lyrics

The booklet included with Splatune 2 gives the official lyrics for Color Pulse. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanese hiragana and katakana simply give the pronunciation. According to a Famitsu interview,[1] the former is used to indicate Pearl's lyrics in Inkling language, whereas the latter is used to indicate Marina's lyrics in Octarian language.

The karaoke version available on the JOYSOUND service lists additional lyrics that were not included with those of the booklet, which are in italics here.

Other versions

Inkopolis News (Splatfest)

This version has the vocals and a lot of the instruments taken out for a simpler version. It was played immediately after the player pressed and on the start screen during a Splatfest and played during Inkopolis News, replacing the regular Inkopolis News song. After the news segment ended, the regular song started to be performed.

Color Pulse (live)

During live performances, an extended version of Color Pulse is used. Although each performance is slightly different due to the live bands, they retain the same strong structure. The main difference from the regular version is a new break from Marina, as she scratches the beat on her set containing samples of various Inkling sound effects, and immediately afterwards a new melody is subtly laid on the beat. It now has a definite ending to the song, repeating the intro. A recording of this version from their first live concert at Haicalive at Tokaigi 2018 can be found in Octotune.

In Splatoon 3, a new remix of Color Pulse is performed by Off the Hook in Inkopolis Square during the first half of Splatfests.[3] Compared to City of Color (2023), which was a relatively faithful remix, Color Pulse (2024) has a very different feeling compared to the original, featuring new vocals and much different instrumentation. The song is overall slightly more relaxed in tone, with lower-pitched synths and a greater emphasis on the drum line (particularly in the chorus), and features some additional vocal ad-libs from both Pearl and Marina. The tempo is also slightly increased from 122 BPM to 124 BPM.

You can help the wiki by adding to it.

During days one and two of Past vs. Present vs. Future Splatfest, an extended live band version of Color Pulse (2024) is played.

This version of the song uses vocals that are much more faithful to the original Splatoon 2 version of Color Pulse.

Rainbow Color Inkantation

Main article: Rainbow Color Inkantation

During the last 24 hours of the Past vs. Present vs. Future Splatfest in Splatoon 3, Rainbow Color Inkantation, a megamix of Color Pulse with Calamari Inkantation and Anarchy Rainbow, has been added to the song pool for Splatfest battles. Additionally, it was the only song that played during Tricolor Battles on the Grand Splatlands Bowl stage. If neither of the attacking teams secured the second Ultra Signal in such a battle, an instrumental song that sampled the section at 0:16 from Color Pulse played during the last minute of the battle.

Hyperbomb sound effect

Activating a hyperbomb plays the first two notes of Color Pulse, with the glissando replacing the normal audio cue for standard Suction Bombs, and the actual explosion serving as the orchestra hit.

Turf War bad ending (Second Half Annihilation)

Trivia

  • This song and Inkoming! are also featured in the Splatoon 2 Medley in Ring Fit Adventure.
  • Although the version in Splatoon 3 is named Color Pulse (2024) in English, the music video published by Nintendo of America is simply called "Color Pulse", with "Color Pulse '24" on the thumbnail.

Artists

Etymology

Color Pulse is likely named after the appearance Inkopolis Square took on during Splatfests, being lit up with neon signs and bright lights. Flashing lights were also featured on Off the Hook's stage while they were performing this song, hence the name. It may also be a reference to City of Color by the Squid Sisters, which also played during Splatfests.

The name of the songs is the same as English in all languages except for Japanese. Only Leaving with Pearl differs between non-Japanese languages.
