As Yoshiller from YouTube would say: Hello, humans! Two years have passed since the start of "Ink It Up!", Yoshiller's Splatoon series. Now the series is back again for Splatoon 2, complete with an updated version of the theme!
This lyrical composition originally was created using the Roland Fantom FA-06 in conjunction with Cakewalk Express and the Vocaloid 4 Editor. Combining a classic American talk show theme style (maybe) with J-pop inspired by anime, this piece reflects the high energy of Splatoon with the Japanese influences of the game's design. I wrote lyrics in Japanese to reflect those qualities and had some very famous Vocaloids perform the song. Yoshiller and I collaborated on the subtitles presentation to give that fansubbed anime vibe.
New to the theme are the rockin' overdriven guitar, middle section with remixed elements of Inkoming and Color Pulse, English lyrics announcing the return, and overall improvement in sound quality.
I hope you all enjoy the reprise!
