Splatune 3 is the original soundtrack for Splatoon 3. It was released in Japan on 26 April 2023.[1][2] It has four discs and includes both the game's soundtrack and the Deep Cut Concert at Nintendo Live 2022.
A second soundtrack entitled Ordertune (Splatoon 3 Original Soundtrack), which includes music from Sizzle Season 2023 onwards and Splatoon 3 Live Concert featuring Deep Cut at Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO, was released on 11 December 2024.
Tracklist
The tracklist has been published on the My Nintendo Store in the Japanese region.[3]
The Tricolor Turf War variant of Commence the Fest and the version of Cap'n Cuttlefish's Theme that plays in the cutscene in which he is dried out are absent from the soundtrack. The songs from previous games that only play in the lobby and the jukebox are also absent, but other songs from previous games are featured (namely Cap'n Cuttlefish's Theme, Octoling Rendezvous, Got It!, and all returning Salmon Run music).
Translation notes
- ↑ The trailer debuted in the Nintendo Direct on 17 February 2021, or 18 February 2021 for some regions, including Japan.
Changes
Some songs contain slight changes in arrangement from the versions used in the game.
- All songs by C-Side and Damp Socks feat. Off the Hook now have proper endings instead of fade-outs.
- Clickbait (Demo Tape) does not fade out early.
- The drum fills at the start of C-Side's songs are now an even volume with the rest of the song instead of being 1db louder than everything that follows.
- Clickbait has a new guitar solo in the second half that cannot be heard in-game.
- All Alterna hub world music now smoothly transitions between each different version that plays as more gold records are collected.
- The formant synth at the start of Nine Out of Tension has a different starting position.
- Whenever the low-pass filter is used in Ride or Fry, the song goes out of tune, about 18 cents sharp.
- A snare drum loop is added throughout Seep & Destroy. Previously, this could only be heard in the version of the song that plays in the hub world when standing near a kettle.
- A synth was removed from Seep & Destroy during the vocoder section.
- Both Surprise and Shine and Bear with Me smoothly transition between the versions that play in each phase of the boss battles.
- The third phase of Bear with Me includes an additional bass loop.
- Hide and Sleek and Smeared Canvas are both missing the drum fills that start the songs in-game.
- Hide and Sleek has a slightly different instrumental, along with different vocals.
- The instrumental for Smeared Canvas changes to match the first class version as the track fades out.
- Anarchy Poisons transitions between all three different versions throughout the track, with Bird Mix first, Snake Mix second, and Boar Mix third (which also begins a loop a second time as the track fades out towards the end).
- Anarchy Poisons features some added drums at the start as the Bird Mix version fades in, which are the same drums heard on the title screen of Splatoon 3 during a Splatfest.
- Anarchy Rainbow features an additional kick drum during the chorus.
- Fins in the Air has a slightly different instrumental and vocals.
- Till Depth Do Us Part has slightly changed vocals with different filtering.
- The synth arpeggio at the start of Commence the Fest is missing.
- Calamari Inkantation 3MIX has a slightly different intro and instrumental.
- Frye's vocals in Calamari Inkantation 3MIX are slightly different, having more reverb and being filtered more.
- Sinkopated incorporates the music from the Crab-N-Go and the jellyfish barista into the song.
- Tracks which play in-game with a filter to sound like they are playing from a speaker, such as Lobby Terminal, Alterna Citizen Program M-02: Advanced Course (Twilight Waves), and Alterna Citizen Program M-??: mY dEAR, are included in Splatune 3 in their original high quality without any filter.

[The tweets of the bassist/vocalist Baker of C-Side on a certain day]
Waiting for Kiki, who's late to the studio, as usual.
〇2 ←5 ♡623
Is there anyone else who'd come back to the band they quit once, or is it just Kiki? Well, I guess the ones who'd let ‘em back in with open arms are just as rare.
〇5 ←18 ♡1533
I think Clickbait was first made when Walter started hitting the drums while we were setting up the sound in our rehearsal studio. There was this funky cymbal noise that sounded like a "WHAM"! When Kiki and I first heard that, there was no way we wouldn't start singing "dededededede"!
〇 ←5 ♡322
No point in hiding it, I'm happy that people are covering and arranging that song across many different places. Though when that school of salmon attacked, I heard the version they played with the violin(?). It was so baffling that I couldn't help but laugh.
〇3 ←12 ♡475
Paintscraper is based on a demo that Walter made, who also played the guitar here too by the sound of it. It sounded kinda limp and really cracked me up, but it's got this odd appeal to it. If I get the chance, I wanna share it.
〇8 ←56 ♡757
"Triple Dip" - If they tell you that you can't double dip, why not triple dip? Know what I mean? I tried to make a song without knowing if it was cool or not. How'd I do?
〇3 ←18 ♡224
I'm typing this in a drunken stupor. I've said this half a billion times just this year, but please know this: Now or Never is a C-Side original. Some guys from Inkopolis, Skip…something or other… had the nerve to cover it without permission, but we recorded it before they released theirs. We just didn't release ours.
〇54 ←3577 ♡8993
One has gotta wonder if there's anything that tastes better than having dinner alone late at night.
〇25 ←28 ♡223
I'll forgive the version by that weird trio who do the Splatcasts because it's funny. I got no clue what they're saying in the intro, though.
〇45 ←2213 ♡12k
One more thing. That guitarist/vocalist of Skid-something, Ichiya, was born in the Splatlands. I should know- i went to middle school with him. He said he was going to Inkopolis, and off he went. Soon after, I heard about how he'd debuted with a band. I tried listening to them, but their sound was so soft that it made my ink churn.
〇512 ←75k ♡52k
So, you're probably wondering why we covered that Splattack (did I get it right? LOL song of theirs. I get a lot of people thinking it's an homage, but just for the record, I was only trying to get across, like "If it's you lots' "music" we're talking about, then obviously we could make it SO much cooler. I mean, our version is 300 times better, right?". That's all. It wasn't meant as a damn homage.
〇156 ←4573 ♡9130
What's he doing now? Apparently, he changed the band's name and is loitering around the Splatlands now. It's the kind of thing that makes you think "You have some nerve to come crawling back home", y'know?
〇89 ←5282 ♡11k
Well, I guess their… music? It's not as bad as it used to be.
〇144 ←3423 ♡8924
I rambled too much last night. I think the current Inkopolis scene is way too pretentious. However, I know they're kinda old news now, but those Bottom Feeder guys are pretty cool. I'd like to perform with that violin chick.
〇12 ←4674 ♡8995
I want to play along with the rest of C-Side so you all can hear it. A truly pure sound that'll reverberate throughout this era of chaos, no matter whether it's the Splatlands or Inkopolis.
Front Roe article
Japanese
「話題のルーキー(...)
Front Roeの素性がヤバすぎる!
顔出しNG?旧メンバーの行方は?
調べてみました!」
Front Roeって?
昨年春にインディーズレーベル・AGARIから突如デビューしたのち、一気にヒットチャートに躍り出たFront Roe。
メディアには一切登場せず、素顔も公開されていません。
パワフルながらポップで、やんちゃだった青春時代を後から懐かしむようなそのサウンドを、爆音で聴きつつバトルに明け暮れている方も多いのではないでしょぅか?
「世界一なめらかな頭の持ち主 32枚
何が見えますか?温泉には驚きの光景
Ad 開く」
Front Roeの正体は?
′10年代中盤にハイカラシティで活動していたバンド、Squid Squad (ジュークボックスに曲が入っていたりするので、ぜひ聴いてみてくださいね)が前身だというのは、公然の秘密となっています。
Front Roeとなってからは、活動の拠点をバンカラ地方に移してはいますが、中心都市であるバンカラ街ではライブやプロモーションを行っていないようです。
なぜなんでしょうか?
交代したメンバーは?脱退劇があった?
Squid Squad時代のベーシストは、現在WARABI氏とのユニット「合食禁」 での活動も知られるIKKAN氏。
リーダーのICHIYA氏との音楽性の相違から、お互いに頭からインクをか(...)うほどの壮絶な応酬の末、ある日突然スタジオに来なくなってそれっき(...)というのが通説です。

The Secrets of Front Roe
Who is Front Roe? Front Roe has shot to the top of the charts after their sudden debut with the indie label "AGARI" last spring.[translation 1]
They have never made any public appearances nor have their true faces been revealed to the public. Many of you may be listening to their music's powerful yet poppy sound that makes you nostalgic for your youthful days of rebelliousness, listening to explosive tracks, and spending all your time in battles.
Who are the members of Front Roe? It is an open secret that the band's name was formerly known as Squid Squad (you can find their songs on the jukebox!), a band that was active around the mid-'10s in Inkopolis. Since their rebranding into Front Roe, they have moved their base of activities to the Splatlands, however, they do not seem to be performing or promoting their music in the main city, Splatsville.
Why is that?
What about the members who were replaced? Were there any departures?
The bassist of Squid Squad was Quinn, known better in recent times for his work with Mashup as part of the duo "Diss-Pair".
It is commonly believed that the creative differences with the frontman Ichiya, he and Quinn got into an argument so heated that they ended up shooting each other in the head with ink. Soon after that, they just stopped showing up to the studio entirely and the band fell apart from there.
The small man taking up the role of bassist for Front Roe is only credited as "004Clam".
Plagiarism of a classic song? It seems that while Front Roe never performs any songs from the Squid Squad era, there is an ongoing incident related to "Now or Never," a song that was always played at the end of Squid Squad's live shows.
While the song has been covered by several artists, including idols Callie and Marie and the band Wet Floor, last summer a group called C-Side claimed that they were the original creators of the song and that the Squid Squad version is a rip-off, changing only the lyrics and claiming it was their original song without permission.
While Front Roe has "no comment" on this matter, they are presumably outraged at these accusations!
Is there a possibility for a Squid Squad reunion? There is a strong desire among fans for a Squid Squad reunion with Quinn, but is there any chance of this happening?
When a TV interviewer asked Quinn this question, he replied, "That's a good question," and left the room, never to return.
A source close to Murasaki, the drummer, reported that he told the owner of a bar he frequented: "If I were to say it's possible, then it's possible, and if not, then it's not. If we do it, we do it, and if we don't, we don't." Reportedly, other people have heard him say similar things in the past.
What do you think?

Marie x Marina x Big Man interview
Japanese
ホタル (シオカラーズ) x イイダ (テンタクルズ) x マンタロー (すりみ連合)
言わずと知れた国民的アイドルのシオカラーズ, 世界で戦うトツプアーテイストのテンタクルズ, バンカラ街で開花し各地で人気急上昇中のすりみ連合一今をときめくグループのメンバーに, 最近の青楽活動や今今後の展望を語つてもらった。
ホタル : イイダちゃんはマンタローくんに会うの初めてだっけ?
イイダ: すりみ連合さんの曲は聴かせていただいてたんですが, お会いするのは初めてですね。テンタクルズのイイダです。よろしくお願いしま。
マンタロー: エイエイ! (こちらこそ初めまして, 聴いていただいてたなんて 恐悦至極です! テンタクルズさんは偉大すぎてもはや次元の違う方たちだと思ってたので, お語できる日が来るなんて夢みたいです!)
ホタル: テンタクルズ、今は世界で活躍しとるもんね。
イイダ: ありがたいことに今もワールドツアー中です。でもシオカラーズさんが新曲を出すと聞いて、あわてて帰国しました。リリースイベントは絶対に逃したくなかったので!
ホタル: なんか悪いな〜。すりみ連合もどんどん活動範囲が広がっとるね。バンカライブも大盛り上がりやったし。
マンタロー: エイ〜(おかげさまで!ライブでは進行表ちゃんと見てなくてすみません・..・シオカラーズさんの登場に本気でビックリしちゃって。フウカちゃんもウツホちゃんも「ウチらが主役のライブに割り込まれて、ついカッとなってしもた....・」って反省してました)
ホタル: 終わってから大あわてで土下座しに来たもんね。あのあとみんなで朝まで打ち上げしたんよな〜。
「今の魅力を知ってもらいたい」
マンタロー: エイイ!(アネゴたちは最近曲作りに力を入れてますよね。「シオカゼの星」、サイコーでした!!)
イイダ: アネゴ?
ホタル: この歌はアオリちゃんが「遠い昔の祖先やこの星への想いを歌にしたい!」って詞を書きはじめて、Shy-Ho-Shyさんに曲を作ってもらったんよ。
イイダ: 途中に入る「元祖正調塩辛節」のサンプリングが、歴史を感じさせて胸に迫ります...
マンタロー: エイエイ!(一方の「BRANDNEWHOMETOWN 〜それより明日の話を〜」では新プロデューサーのYou★Me氏を迎えたとか!)
イイダ: Bメロに入ったあたりからキックの音が鳴りを潜め、民謡の独特のりを感じさせる展開に入っていきますよね。今までのシオカラーズには無かったアンニュイさ、大人の色気が立ち込めています。どこか「思い出の中に閉じ込めないで、今の自分たちを見て」という切実さを感じました…..
ホタル: まぁ、デビューから時間も経ってハイカラシティの景色も少しずつ変わってきたことだし、大人になったアタシたちの雰囲気もプラスしたいなって。
イイダ: 過去の作品から大きく変化を感じるのは、アタック強めのキックとSuperSaw系のベースで作るソリッドなピートですね。ワタシもこういうEDM系の音作りが大好きなんですけど…
マンタロー: エイ、エイエエイ!(わかります!Aメロの入 りで Gmaj7/A のオンコードから入ってくるのも、 13th的なテンションの解釈が可能で….....)
ホタル: はいストップストップ!音楽オタクが2人いるとヤバいな…
イイダ: す、すみません!そうそう、フェス用に書き下ろされた「春風とペトリコール」は、珍しく外部のアーティストをフィーチャーした作品ですよね。何か心境の変化があったんですか?
ホタル: シオカラーズのこれからを考えたときに、今のハイカラシティの魅力を外のヒトにも知ってもらうには、もっと活動の幅を拡げてもいいのかなって思ったんよ。それでバンカラ地方の新進気鋭の歌手RANOMATとコラボさせてもらって。
イイダ: このRANOMATさんとは、いったいどういう経緯で......?
ホタル: それはね〜〜。
マンタロー: エエイ?!(コラボといえば、ビジー・パケーションさんとのコラボ曲って今までのテンタクルズには無かった挑戦的な楽曲ばかりですね?!)
イイダ: ぇっ? えーとそうですね、テーマは「いつもと違 う側に立つ」だったんです。
「音楽的に衝突してしまったこともあったんです」
イイダ: たとえばヒメセンパイは普段スリリングなラップを得意としていますが、今回はかなり「まともな歌いかた」をしてくれています。逆にワタシがラップやピアノのプレイで大暴れしたりして。本業のときとはガラッと変えて楽しもうと、遊び心全開でやってみました。
ホタル: そういえば2人の立ち位置やね。
マンタロー: エイー?(かなりぶっ飛んだアレンジですけど、これはビジバケさん側の作家性ですか?)
イイダ: 実はヒメセンパイが中心になってまとめてくれたんです。ワタシはつい自分のパートを減らしがちなんですが、センパイが「イイダもっとハジけさせたいよな~1って勇気づけてくれたので増やしてみたり。あとビジバケさんは音楽性と裏腹に真面目な良い方ばかりなんですけど、彼らの持ち味を活かすために、センパイがあえて何も言わずに彼らに任せた部分もありましたね。
ホタル: ヒメちゃんって意外と周り見てるタイプやんね。元気しとるん?
イイダ: はい!実は音楽的に衝突して、センパイが出て行ってしまったこともあったんですが...
マンタロー: エエーイ?!(えぇーッ?!)
イイダ: 全然連絡つかなくて、もうすっごく心配したんですよ!ワタシは音楽活動さえできれば幸せだったんですが、センパイは物足りなさを感じていたみたいです。ある意味テンタはもう世界を獲ってしまった、天井が見えてしまったと。それで失踪している間、元々やりたかったロックを中心に動画サイトをひたすらディグしてたらしくて。そこで並外れたプレイをしていた若者たちに高をかけて組み上げたのがビジー・バケーションなんです。ある日突然センパイからメッセージが送られてきて,「激ヤバなヤツら見つけた。アタシたち、化けるぜ」って(笑)
マンタロー: エッ!!(カッコいい!!)
イイダ: それからはすっかり元気です。初回合わせでは、「サイタン・ケーロ」のサビの「アーー」で全部の楽器の弦が切れましたね。
ホタル: 元気がすぎる。
イイダ: ガンガンになっていく曲調ですし、攻めの気持ちでマイクに向かっていたみたいです。
「それでできたのが、3人で初めて作った曲だった」
イイダ: 輝るような曲調といえば、すりみ連合さんの「疾風怒涛カチコンドル」もそうですよね。
マンタロー: エイ(中学の頃、先輩から隣の中学にカチコミするときの応援歌を依頼されたんだ。ボクとウツホちゃんはどっちでも良かったんだけど、フウカちゃんが「きっちり応援さしてもらいます」って3万ゲソで引き受けて。それでできたのが3人で初めて作った「疾風怒涛カチコンドル」だったんだ)
ホタル: え、そういう歌だったん?
マンタロー: エイエイ(その歌を3人でよく通ってたボウリング屋の店長さんがたまたま聞いてて、店のCMソングを作ってくれって依頼されたんだ。ボクとウツホちゃんはどっちでも良かったんだけど、フウカちゃんが30万ゲソで引き受けて。それでできたのが2曲目の「天命反転ローリンストン」だったんだ)
ホタル: さっきからギャラが生々しいな。
イイダ: この曲、主旋律とハモリが途中で逆転ますよね。これはタイトルの「天命反転」にかかってるんですか?
マンタロー: エイ!(そうです!ボクらの家には、かつて大災害で地球上の生物が絶滅の危機に陥ったっていう言い伝えの歌が残ってて。ウツホちゃんが「地球もデカいボウリング玉じゃ!」って学校の廊下で地球儀を転がしてるの見たら、いつもボウリングで最後に逆転されろボクの中でキーワードが結びついていって、「地球という自転する石の上で、生命の繁栄と滅亡の運命が反転する」というテーマが形になったというか)
ホタル: 治安悪すぎだろその中学。
マンタロー: エーイ!(そのCMソングのおかげもあって、バンカラ街では名前が通るようになりました!最近はもっぱらバンカラ地方を盛り上げるためにフェス用の曲を作ってます!)
「その先に、いったい何があるんだろう」
ホタル: 2人は、これから先どうしたいとかあるん?アタシは応援してくれてるみんなの期待にはしっかり応えながらも、少しずつ新しいシオカラーズに挑戦していきたいって思っとるよ。なんだか手のかかる後輩も増えてきそうなカンジするしね。
イイダ: ワタシはワールドツアーを実現したことで「世界の果てのさらにその先に、いったい何があるんだろう」という気持ちがあふれてきて。このカオスな世界の先には案外、我々の理解を超えた秩序の世界があるのかもしれません。世界の果てを見つめることは、自分の内面を選かれることに似ているのかもしれない.....・とにかく今はそんな思いが爆発しそうで、アートの力で何か新しいフィールドを構築したいと思っているところです。
ホタル: すごい.....何を言ってるのか全くわからない。マンタローくんは?
マンタロー: エイ〜(ウツホちゃんは「バンカラから世界のてっぺん獲るんじゃー!」なんて言ってるし、フウカちゃんは「ガッポガッポもうけたいどすな」って言ってるけど。ボクは音楽を通じて、バンカラとハイカラのヒトがもっと仲良くなれるようにしていけたらいいなと思ってるんだ。こんなこと言うと、生粋のバンカラ気質の2人にはニラまれちゃうんだけどね)

Marie (Squid Sisters) x Marina (Off the Hook) x Big Man (Deep Cut)
We asked members from well-known national idol duo the Squid Sisters, the world-famous artists Off the Hook, and the rapidly rising popular trio which blossomed in Splatsville, Deep Cut, to talk about their recent music activities and future plans.
Marie: So Marina, is this your first time meeting Big Man?
Marina: I've been listening to Deep Cut's music, but this is the first time for me to meet him. I'm Marina, and I'm a member of Off the Hook. It's nice to meet you!
Big Man: Ay! Ay! (It's nice to meet you too! I'm so glad you enjoy our music! I've always thought Off the Hook is an amazing band, talking to you is like a dream come true!)
Marie: Off the Hook is on a world tour right now, right?
Marina: We're still on a tour, but when I heard that the Squid Sisters were dropping a new song, I rushed back to Inkopolis. I didn't want to miss the release event!
Marie: I'm sorry you had to get back in such a rush. Deep Cut is also expanding the scope of their activities. Bankalive was a huge success.
Big Man: Ay~ (It's thanks to you! I'm sorry that I forgot to look at the setlist... I was really surprised by the appearance of the Squid Sisters. Shiver and Frye apologized as well. They both said "We were the main performers at the live show and they interrupted us...but we still lost our tempers".)
Marie: Yeah, after the show was over you rushed over and got down on your knees to apologize to us. But after that, we stayed up and hung out until the morning.~
"I want people to see the appeal of the present."
Big Man: Ayy! (Boss and her team have been putting a lot of effort into songwriting lately, right? "Wave Goodbye" was fantastic!)
Marina: …Boss?
Marie: Well, Callie wrote the lyrics to this song. She said "I want to write a song about my feelings toward my distant ancestors and this planet!" Then Shy-Ho-Shy wrote the melody.
Marina: The sample from the "Chorus of Calamari Country" halfway through the song was such a heartwarming reminder of our history…
Big Man: Ay, ay (On the other hand, "Tomorrow's Nostalgia Today" features a new producer, You★Me!)[translation 1]
Marina: The kicking sound fades away around the B melody, and instead, the song takes on the unique groove of a folk song. There is a sense of maturity that has not been present in the Squid Sisters' works up to this point. I felt the sincere message of "Don't confine us to your memories, look at us now."
Marie: Well, the landscape of Inkopolis has changed little by little since our debut so we wanted to add a "grown-up" element to the song.
Marina: What I feel is a big change from your past works is the strong kick of the solid beat created by the SuperSaw bass. I do love this kind of EDM-type sound creation.
Big Man: Ay, ay, aaay! (I know! It also comes in from the Gmaj7/A on-chord as the A melody enters, which can be interpreted as a 13th-like tension...)
Marie: Yes, yes, stop, stop! I don't think I can handle two music geeks in one room...
Marina: Ah, sorry! Well, you created "Liquid Sunshine" for the Splatfest, but I noticed it features outside artists, which is strange for a Squid Sisters song. Did you have any change of heart regarding collaborations?
Marie: When I thought about the future of the Squid Sisters, I felt that in order for people outside of the city to know the appeal of the current Inkopolis, it would be good to expand the scope of our outreach efforts. Due to this I collaborated with Ian BGM, an up-and-coming artist from the Splatlands.
Marina: So how in the world did you get in touch with this...Ian BGM...?
Marie: Well...you know~
Big Man: A-ay!? (Speaking of collaborations, the collaboration songs performed with Damp Socks are all unconventional and challenging songs for Off the Hook, aren't they?!)
Marina: Huh? Well yes, our theme was to "try to cross the lines of typicality."
"There were some times where we clashed musically..."
Marina: For example, Pearl usually specializes in thrilling raps, but this time she sang in a very "normal" way. On the other hand, I went on a riot with my rapping and piano playing. I tried to have fun by making a complete change from my main style and doing it with a playful attitude.
Marie: Speaking of which, I'm wondering about the two of you and where you stand at the moment.
Big Man: Ayyy? (The arrangement is quite outlandish, is it a creative decision by Damp Socks?)
Marina: Actually, Pearl took the lead in coordinating this project. I tend to cut back on my own vocal parts, but she encouraged me by saying, "I want to make your part more lively - don't you?" Also, despite their style of music, the members of Damp Socks are all good, diligent people, and in order to make the most of their unique qualities, Pearl decided to leave some things up to them without saying a word.
Marie: Unexpectedly, Pearl is the type of person who is always on the lookout for people around her, isn't she? How are you doing?
Marina: Yes, she is! But we actually had a musical clash and Pearl even left...
Big Man: A-ay?! (W-what?!)
Marina: I couldn't get in touch with her at all, and I was really worried! As long as I could keep playing music, I was happy, but Pearl seemed to feel that it wasn't fulfilling enough. In a way, Off the Hook had already won the world, and we had reached our zenith. During the time of her disappearance, Pearl spent a lot of time on video sites digging for rock music, which is what she had always wanted to perform. She put together Damp Socks by asking some of the young people who were playing exceptionally well to come and play with us. Then one day I got a message from her saying, "I found some really sick dudes. We could be the next big hit!" (laughs).
Big Man: Ay!! (Cool!!)
Marina: We've been all good since then. During our first practice, all the strings of all the instruments broke when we played the chorus of "Tentacle to the Metal".
Marie: You guys have too much energy.
Marina: It is a song that gets quite gung-ho, and it seems that she went to the microphone with an aggressive spirit.
"That was the first song the three of us ever wrote together."
Marina: While we're talking about smoking tunes, "Hide and Sleek" comes to mind.
Big Man: Ay. (When I was in middle school, a senior asked me to sing a cheering song for their upcoming competition against a neighboring school. Frye and I were fine with whatever, but Shiver insisted, "We'll cheer for you"...for the price of 30,000 G. The result was "Hide and Sleek", the first song the three of us ever created together.)
Marie: Oh, so that was the reason behind the song's creation?
Big Man: Ay, ay. (The manager of a bowling alley that the three of us frequented happened to hear the song and asked us to write a commercial song for his establishment. Frye and I were fine with whatever, but Shiver agreed to do it...for the price of 300,000 G. The result was our second song, "Smeared Canvas".)
Marie: Your fee is a bit much, isn't it?
Marina: I noticed that the main melody and the harmony are reversed in the middle of this song. Does this have something to do with the title of the song, "Smeared Canvas"?[translation 2]
Big Man: Ay! (That's right! We still have a song in my hometown that tells a story about a catastrophe that threatened to wipe out all life on Earth. Then one day, Frye said, "The earth is a big bowling ball, too!" After that, I thought about how I always end up getting beaten during the last round of bowling, and I started to connect the keywords in my mind, and the song's theme of "the destiny of life's prosperity and destruction, reversing on the spinning stone called the earth" took shape.)
Marie: Your middle school sounds extremely unsafe.
Big Man: Ayy! (Thanks in part to that commercial song, our name has become well-known in Splatsville! Nowadays, we're exclusively writing songs for the Splatfests that will liven up the Splatlands!)
"What lies beyond the world?"
Marie: What do you two want to do in the future? While I want to live up to the expectations of everyone who supports us, I would like to gradually take on the challenge of creating a new generation for the Squid Sisters. I have a feeling that there will be more young people depending on us.
Marina: As I realized the success of the world tour, I was overwhelmed with thoughts about "What is there beyond the end of the world?" Beyond this chaotic world, there may be a world of order that is beyond our comprehension. Gazing at the end of the world may be similar to being able to choose one's inner self...In any case, I feel like I am about to explode with such a thought, and I would like to construct a new frontier with the power of art.
Marie: I have no idea what you are talking about but that's amazing. What about you...Big Man?
Big Man: Ay~ (Well Frye says, "I'm going to capture the world, starting with Splatsville!" and Shiver says, "I want to make a fortune, don't you?" With how much Splatlandian pride they have, they're going to be a little irritated when I say this, but...I hope that through music, I can help the people of the Splatlands and Inkopolis become closer to one another!)

Trivia
- At the end of the Marie x Marina x Big Man interview, Big Man talks about how Frye wants to "rule the world, starting with Splatsville" (expressing a desire for fame), Shiver wanting to make a fortune (expressing a desire for money), and finally him wanting the people of Splatsville and Inkopolis to get along (expressing a desire for love). This may have been foreshadowing the Money vs. Fame vs. Love Splatfest.
