SPICY CALAMARI IS FIREE🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Pikmi_YT]

@BeatriceBaines fr bro the drums and guitar in it are so good. I love the presentation of it

[@peaceribbon8322]

My favorite was City of Color actually. When you think about it that was the song the Squid Sisters sang in the Splatoon Direct, making it effectively the origin of all this amazing music. And walking into the plaza right up to a live performance of it again… it really hit me emotionally, thinking about how much time has passed since then, yet those memories across time still stirred in my heart. Yes I was on Team Past, can you tell? :P

[@Pikmi_YT]

@peaceribbon8322 felt that hard. city of color is one of the most nostalgic splatoon songs to me for that very reason and just hearing it again for the final splatfest was so awesome. team past all the way

The jellies are so real for the timing of their movements. It’s so easy to fall right in. They’re just like us fr.

[@Pikmi_YT]

YEAH why'd they genuinely get me so hyped at 27:56 and 30:13😭

[@inklingboy7534]

Honestly I would try to go along with them useing the “sway” & “cheer” button.

[@natalaelgomesraulino7716]

If I'm not mistaken, they actually do some fan chants, right?

[@galaxy-eb9sp]

its easy for them cus they are a hivemind, i always seem to mess up the timing

[@Robotic_Boi]

It so cool how they recreated the "concert" sound to the game

[@Pikmi_YT]

@Robotic_Boi fr, it uses the live versions while also adding onto them. my car has such good surround sound so listening to these in my car made it sound like I was in an actual concert it was so cool😭

[@justsomenoob1882]

This and the fact that we can revisit with amiibo basically just means they added the feature to have our own concerts at home whenever we want. I'm very grateful for it

[@chipi4179]

Splatoon is so special, no other game could make me feel like this for watching a bunch of squid and octos singing on a weird language. I loved the Grand Festival it was truly the biggest celebration of the series, I'm glad to be part of this

[@Pikmi_YT]

for real. ik it's stupid cause they're just songs by fictional inklings and octolings but at the end of the day I have so many memories associated with so many of these over the past 9 years lol. 3:06 genuinely made me tear up. also love the morag pfp

[@chipi4179]

@@Pikmi_YT SAME! I've been here since the beginning ad I will proclaim the end. Ok now seriously I remember when it all started, and I was so happy to be part of this final celebration, I got so emotional Splatoon is so beautiful I started crying when I heard Maritime Memory, and 3 wishes almost got me. This was PEAK Morag best woman too

[@Pikmi_YT]

@@chipi4179 fr. and ngl it's so sad having both this era of xenoblade and splatoon end🥲. xc1 is my favorite game of all time and having future redeemed send off my favorite series (at least the Klaus saga) was so hard lol, but it was so fitting cause it came out right after I graduated high school. now with splatoon, I gotta send off something that's been an even bigger part of my life the last 9 years:(

[@MoRiSeR_]

And 1 manta ray.

[@Pikmi_YT]

@@MoRiSeR_ I love how he just stands there when he's waiting to sing😭.

[@thatchillasian8924]

Splatoon is such a cool franchise man. What other series feature in-universe concerts with pop-idols from every game? There's just a certain charm to Splatoon that's missing from almost every Triple A shooter nowadays. Such passion for such unabashed weirdness. An ocean of style and creativity. And while Splatoon may still have its problems, and has beaten my ribcage with a metal pipe multiple times, it will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you Splatoon. You're a real one.

[@Pikmi_YT]

@thatchillasian8924 fr, and one of my favorite aspects of these games has always been its in-game culture. it feels like it's developing alongside us which is what makes stuff like this so sad when it comes to an end. this is 9 years of my life and seeing this specific side of splatoon come to a close will be something I'm upset about for a while🥲.

[@Skinnylandia]

I'LL NEVER FORGET THIS GRAND FEST... It was so special

[@Pikmi_YT]

@@Skinnylandia fr, genuinely may remember it more than Splat 1 and 2's finalfests far in the future bc of how many memories I have associated with it already. I wish it wasn't on a weekend I was so busy/when I had 3 exams but I'm glad I got to ruler +3 and got 2 100x wins with friends and family🫡

[@Skinnylandia]

@@Pikmi_YT Awh bless, Im in the same boat too xD, and yeahh it just felt like a huge thank you to the splat community

[@-AnythingElse-]

It's really great seeing how they've improved Callie and Marie's models over the years. I rewatched one of their original performances the other day and their faces are so much more expressive now!

[@Dafunnyman69]

They missed an opportunity to play wave goodbye, but HOLY CRAP I'm just glad into the light played

[@Airis4StarPlayz]

Hey guys in case you don't know, you can actually relive these grand fest performances by using any idol amiibos at the amiibo box, even the ones in Splatoon 1 and 2! (if you don't have any, I recommend buying nfc tags because they are really cheap compare to amiibos). You can also choose the time for the performance you want, evening, night, or dawn. These videos are amazing, but why not experience the grand fest atmosphere again if you want to! Happy gaming and see yall in Splatoon 4! ❤😊 PS Nintendo announced that they gonna host Splatfest for special occasions like Halloween! Also, there will be big runs returning as well! 🎉

[@forgettingeverythinglikeno2029]

Love how they used the versions of songs from live concerts to add more flair to these

[@Pikmi_YT]

@@forgettingeverythinglikeno2029 I agree. the guitar adds so much to so many of these tbh, especially squid sisters songs like calamari inkantation and liquid sunshine

[@Pikmi_YT]

EVERYONE should gas the bass kicking in at 23:14 bro. this alongside deep cut's entrance is so hype.

[@ModernAegis]

Til Depth Do Us Part is fire all across the board.

[@Greenomb]

I haven’t played splatoon since 2 but hearing ebb&flow actually got me emotional. These games are truly something magical.

[@PopGunnCulture]

As somebody who went to MikuExpo two months ago (Vocaloid music event), just seeing this made me feel nostalgic for J-Pop esthetic music in concert form, and also made me realize how much the Splatoon tunes have been in my life since I started playing in 2nd grade, and now am a senior. What a wonderful event, my favorite Splatoon experience of all time, and truly feels like a celebration of my childhood.

[@Pikmi_YT]

genuinely. and as someone who digs concerts, experiencing this for the first time genuinely got the same excitement out of me that i get for irl concerts of my favorite artists lol. as someone who has also grown up with the series (started in 2015 and now im a sophomore in college), it really did feel like i was experiencing nine years of buildup all in one place. genuinely felt like a kid again and just seeing my little sisters share that same excitement with me (they grew up with it alongside me, though at a much younger age) is so awesome bc its like im seeing my younger self through them lol.

[@PopGunnCulture]

@@Pikmi_YT That’s actually so cool about your sisters being able to enjoy the event. My sister enjoyed the event alongside me as well, and I remember playing the game on Wii U right alongside her. Although she’s pretty much moved on from gaming, and hardly touches Splatoon anymore, when she got to see Callie & Marie perform on stage, she was sucked in as she remembered her favorite squid-sister pop stars, and hummed along to the nonsensical lyrics of the songs, smiling from ear to ear; the Splatoon magic, which she took in at 1st grade, never left her even to 10th grade. It’s so weird, because although all the Splatoon music from the idols are lyric less, just listening to the remixed Grand Feat versions just feel like love letters to fans who played the games so much those specific songs became ingrained in their minds. I’ve been hooked to the OST since the event and am glad the game is such a fun bonding point between my sibling and I :)

[@twokindsofovenfries32]

The fact that the arrangement and sound system sounded different on each stage was my fave bit

[@Pikmi_YT]

i definitely agree. unfortunately i dont think the angle i recorded at did the audio enough justice since its less "surround sound" than some other video angles are, but one thing i do really like about my angle was how it had an equal volume of all the instruments and voices. i need to go watch everything on the other stages soon since i have only seen a couple from when i first played the grandfest.

[@CaitlinKoi]

Thank you for adding to the efforts to archive this amazing fest!

[@Pikmi_YT]

ofc, its awesome seeing you on here! my 6 year old little brother watches your into the light lyric video nonstop lol it's almost like a family staple at this point😭

[@josu.ruiz0309]

Caitin what are you doing here?!😵😘

[@aisohl_]

thank you for posting all the performances!! im a big fan of splatoon but im poor and cant get the nintendo switch + the game, so unfortunately i can only watch the performances on youtube instead of experiencing it live

[@Pikmi_YT]

ofc! glad it could reach you🫡. when splatoon 4 comes out, I'm sure it'll be a great place to start since it's looking like they're starting fresh!

[@sonicrashyugioh]

I feel your feelings, but i hardly get a switch and games to it, spaltoon 2 at the end splat 3 at mid time spaltonn1 totally missed, 1 person who i know have Wii U only.

[@rhymewitch]

An amazing game with an amazing artstyle and sound design. I'm so glad I was a part of it God, I love it all so much

[@Pikmi_YT]

@@rhymewitch fr, never gonna let any of it down. 9 years of memories in the making

[@ItsAngelSplatoon9]

I can't believe it. I became a Splatoon fan in very early 2018 so this is the only game I've been with from beginning to end. It feels like just yesterday it was December 2022 and I was chilling out in the lobby to Pour It On as it rained outside, dreaming of what the final locker decorations, final catalog outfits, final Splatfest would be…The day I waited for for so long is here.. and it feels so empty. I didn't think it would be so soon. Thanks y'all. It's been a fun ride. The Splatoon community is one of the nicest communities I've ever come across. Because of y'all, I'm a happier and more confident person and have amazing memories. I don't know where I'd be without you amazing people and I mean it. Never forget how flipping awesome you are, hear me? Thank you so much and virtual hugs to everyone who accepts!!

[@Pikmi_YT]

heard that🫡. as someone who has been playing since 2015, I've gotten to know so many people through splatoon, both online and in real life. even though it wasn't until 2018 that you were introduced, splatoon 2's era is still unmatched for me and I'm sure we've shared so much of the same excitement through that lol. will never forget all the squid parties I had in aplatoon 1/all the people I met on miiverse through this game, the hype era of octo expansion and 100 percent completing it literally the morning after it came out, and splatoon 3's release time (which was at a very important part of my life) and grinding out side order on a plane earlier this year.

[@Pinksweatshirt]

Pour It On is top tier 👌

[@speedythememelord5511]

The fact that neither Fly Octo Fly, or Spectrum Obligato was played makes me sad, event was still fire

[@Pikmi_YT]

same here, i was wanting fly octo fly so bad (at least in the actual splatfest battles) but I am VERY happy with all the songs they chose. hide and sleek is such a dub

[@Pinksweatshirt]

I was really hoping that Off the Hook’s last song would be Onwards! Into The Light was a great choice tho. Happy either way.

[@pedrojavierponcedominguez6392]

Did someone notice that the mouth move of the deep cut is more realistic than the others band

[@birdlovesart]

Yeah I think it’s because they already has those animations for deep cut and it would take too long to do it for the other idol groups

[@xGL_RYx]

I wasnt playing a lot of Splatoon recently, but the Grand Fest actually made me remember how great this game is.

[@kite_L_cola]

a month and a half later and i'm still crying over these, omg why can't i just get over it

[@Pikmi_YT]

@kite_L_cola me neither bruh it's not left my head😿😿

[@katelynuwu]

Grand Festival was pulling at my heart knowing that when this ends I'm gonna be depressed. THIS WAS MAGICAL!!!! THIS WAS EMOTIONAL!!! THIS WAS THE BEST SPLATFEST IN SERIES!!!! I owe this series my life because if it wasn't for splatoon I would have never found out I was mtf trans. I know I'm able to come back though since I do have a shiver amiibo somewhere. thank you for uploading these. and thank you splatoon.
