🌈 3 BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS! - Octopia News Ep. 16 🌈

[@CaitlinKoi]

Very sorry about the rendering issue where an asset flickered on and off, this project literally crashed my computer more times than I could count. I even had to render it on someone else's computer because mine just couldn't handle it. So, re-renders were impossible. Regardless, thank you to everyone who watched! Lots of exciting things are happening!

[@olgamorado82]

Yay I am first:) not that nobody cares lol anyway #team🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

[@mx.mossy1]

I like your new pfp and banner, Koi :3

[@Z3A-EveningSt4r]

Let's be honest strawberries will win

[@DTgamer_Shiver-is-best-waifu]

Team strawberry for the win🍓🍓🍓🍓

[@yumes_studio]

I'm so hype for the new songs from Syzygy!!! Also, fun fact: there's a blueberry emote on KZbin but not anywhere else, LOL. This will be my first time participating and I'm really hype!

[@evilneurodivergentclown]

Found it! 🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐

[@SakuraHime10]

Koi and Samples worked really hard on all of this, guys! They deserve all the love and support~ Please look forward to an exciting month of Octoprism! ♡

[@tracygrau]

Agree

[@PandaUniverse]

“Come back after all these years” That peaked my interest regarding lore

[@Hours-ey2ry]

I was thinking the same thing

[@meowmreowmeow]

Considering people said she went through a break-up it could be she dated one of them and broke up, their popularity striking up just making her a little nervous for that reason. My other theory is that she’s just kinda worried her and Bo would eventually be forgotten and Syzygy are the new stars. In other words: she’s just worried for her an Bo getting forgotten Edit: so people who’ve read the lore confirmed, one of them was Raina’s ex. I don’t know which though.

[@konkeykong.6564]

im betting 100 dollars on the line that the last word in the song will be “paradise”

[@lemonstarofficial]

Ok

[@CaitlinKoi]

I've already confirmed it >u< P.O.P. stands for "proof of paradise"

[@konkeykong.6564]

@@CaitlinKoi :0 lets go! when i heard you sing it during one of the streams i could tell that the last word of the song was gonna be paradise but keep it up! i would love to see more bands in the octopia world

[@fidget7458]

I feel like Raina has some... issues about someone in the new band (but holy moly they look so good!) I can’t wait for their debut!

[@OrangePepsiGirlfriend]

If Raina reads your excited for the band, she’s gonna have a meltdown

[@thehomey372]

New Band, New Merch, and New Koifest this is truly HUGE!!! for Octoprism

[@BlenderJoon]

OH MY WOOMY IM IN CLASS (LITERALLY) I FEEL LIKE SCREAMING-

[@Fruity_one]

I love the new band desing, and the theme of the Splatfest, its so hard to decide!! I may no participite but.... Lets go team Blueberry

[@meepiko]

YOU LITERAL GOD I DID NOT THINK YOU WOULD CONSIDER DOING THIS FEST

[@kirby_eating_salsa5503]

THE NEW CHARACTERS ARE SO CUTE 🥰 I’m so excited to hear their first song! I know you and samples are doing a great job 💕 I’m also excited to see your vtuber model as well :]

[@agentwoomy38]

I can’t wait! I bet it’s going to be great ^-^

[@luna-p9035]

Okay. Now that the premiere's over, I'm just gonna quickly say some things that I noticed about Syzygy. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I noticed that "Zuki" kinda sounds like "tsuki", the Japanese word for moon, & rabbits are associated with the moon in Japanese culture, & "Sei" means "star" in Japanese (I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong). I think it fits in pretty well with Octoprism's space theme. (Also, YOU DID ABSOLUTELY AMAZING KOI & SAMPLING! MY GOSH, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE!❤️❤️❤️)

[@conrad417teamseas6]

Forget the splatlands, I’m moving to Octopia! Who’s with me ? (BTW I am an octoling boy) 1:34 that eye roll is ADORABLE

[@zappinghero4690]

Also, for everyone here reading this, BEWARE that there probably may (or may not) be any typical spamming link comment to approach any minute or half hour or so (and those type of comments are pretty dangerous too) which technically does so on any new recent videos published, just as a heads up.

[@Official_SplatTrap]

This is going to change everything beyond the Future, new things are happening, more exciting things that we'd be able to do. Also, oh yes the Berry. I'd blend Banana with Blueberrys as a Milkshake for Breakfast! And More Products from the Merchandise. Oh boy, my Heart is Racing, nice to see everything changed especially you, yes you Koi, you're Number one for my Favorite KZbinrs^^ (sorry for missing out of the stream and the Wall-of-Text)

[@CoolModderJaydonX]

Bo: *picks blueberries and possibly wins* Raina: That's the last straw... berry! 😉

[@axolotlgab]

Ack I'm so glad someone is finally making axolotls part of the splatoon universe! I really like how you used lesser known sea creatures for the new band. Keep up the super-tastic work!

[@CaitlinKoi]

It might be because they're amphibians :O Have there been other amphibians in Splatoon before?

[@Z3A-EveningSt4r]

Yes! a new Splatfest! I'm so excited for this 🍓🍓🍓

[@oatmealsong8671]

Awww poor Raina... It's been a while, it's so nice to see them again! All details are sooo good. The models remain, but the video sure keeps improving!!!

[@crystalparadise2731]

I literally did have someone accuse me of plagiarism for Bee vs Butterfly because they had announced that for their own idols on some image sharing website for children 🤦 Granted I once accused someone of plagiarizing my Coffee vs Tea idea but that was a full year ago when I was a lot dumber, and when I think about it I cringe until I'm a shriveled pulp
