Anarchy Rainbow - Splatoon 3 Acapella Cover

Hello there! This is my original acapella arrangement of "Anarchy Rainbow" from the upcoming Splatoon 3! Vocals done by me (Teza Belmond), with my beloved friends acting as the inkling background vocals in the chorus! I hope you enjoy it :D First half has the main vocals, second half showcases just the "instrumental"!
You know, I'd never been a Splatoon fan before this, but the second I heard Anarchy Rainbow, I was completely mesmerized by it. It's such a cool song with so many influences, and I LOVE it! So I started working on a cover right away--since the game's not out yet at the time of me making/posting this, I had to work very hard to try and hear all the little nuances of the chord progressions and stuff through the posts of the song that ARE on KZbin, and I don't think I did half bad! My main references were the song itself that was posted on Nintendo's channel, and the instrumental version that could be heard faintly in the background of Deep Cut's first Splatfest announcement!
I had a really fun time trying to match the vocal filter, and while it may not be perfect, I'd say I didn't do too bad! The rendering of the lyrics is also my best interpretation of them, and it's mainly based on and read like Japanese syllabary would be. I extended a few vowels, like 'huu's and 'shii's and all of that, and it's possible that many of the 'l's could be 'r's and vice versa, and same with 'k's versus 'g's. Still, I think they're parsable, so if you want to sing along, you can! Here they are, and they're in the video as subtitles as well:
SHIVER
Me hana, me hana, me hana haroshi juuyan haiya
Tsurana, tsurana, tsura hachi megyu kuu na ah
BIG MAN
Konna ichiyo yo-no
Konya, konya, yo-no
FRYE
Yuhana ni ata maturi di, fucha nuu ka ari hana miing ha
Go den wai aten hameshiisa yala huu huu huu yala chabuki!

Ade lala bane sorero, yada kateya balana
Ade lala bane sorera, soya oroka, oroka
Ade lala bane sorera, yada kateya balana!

I love how despite not being as loud and chaotic as the original it still gives the same feelings of unity and camaraderie

[@TezasTunes]

Thank you so much! That was my aim in having my friends help me with the chorus, so I'm so glad that intent came through!

The fact that the big funny stingray lost the splatfest tells me everything i need to know about splatoon fans

[@bossrosslp]

He won the popularity contest. Therefore, he lost :3 That is the rule of Splatoon. The most popular team gets loaded with people who drag the team down competitively. Not always, but historically that's been the pattern :3

ROCK SWEEP RAHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅

[@polygawn]

Team Scissors had a very vocal minority, team rock was actually the most popular…the most popular team always seems to win (gear, water, sweet, white chocolate) and with the cryptid splatfest coming up, I fully believe team alien will win due to the overwhelming amount of people going on team aliens (don’t get me wrong I love aliens, but big foot…he’s special)

This song is officially the new Calamari Inkantation. It mesmerized so many people and brought this game together. It made someone who was never even a Splatoon fan become one. And even if you don't think Splat 3 is a good game, it having this song in it automatically makes it a good game.

[@TezasTunes]

It's SO true!!! I never played a Splatoon game before 3 and was completely uninterested...but then I heard this song, and I was just head over heels *in love* with it, so much so that I had to cover it before the game even released. It became a day 1 purchase for me, and now I basically play Splatoon 3 every day!!! I'm addicted to Salmon Run xD Thank you so much for the kind and eloquent comment!!

[@deoxysoverlord8710]

@@TezasTunes For me it was Splatoon 2 that got me into Splatoon. I knew a lot about the game and saw a lot of references to it, especially in SMG4, but it never interested me. I even played it with a friend who had a Wii U once. But to me it was just this weird game with squid boys and girls who looked like people but had tentacle hair, and looked like the blooper from Mario, and talked like they were underwater. But then one night I watched a video about a character (Marina) being an Octoling, and theories about why no one cares that she is. And so after finding out that you can play as an Octoling in Octo Expansion, being as curious as I was, I searched up all the cutscenes in Octo Expansion, and started to watch them, since when I saw them in the video I watched, the cutscenes looked kind of cool. At least the ones that were shown. And so I started watching every cutscene, which took a long time, and eventually I fell asleep. But when I did wake up, which was at the end of the cutscene video, I heard this beautiful song that was the end credits of Octo Expansion. This song was called Into The Light, and if I never heard this song, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you today. As it's possibly what got me into the music, the lore, and the entire game series as a whole.

[@TezasTunes]

@@deoxysoverlord8710 It's such a cool game that's brought so many people together! I actually got pretty interested in the Octoling Expansion when I heard of it, because the lore seemed very cool, but it didn't QUITE hook me all the way. Now I LOVE it though! One of my favorite songs from Splatoon 2 is one of the final boss phases, Tidal Rush. Into the Light is so good, too! And for 3, there's just so many songs I like that I couldn't even pick a favorite!! There's so many others I'd love to cover, like Calamari Inkantation 3Mix, and Fins in the Air, and the Splatfest Day 1 verses, and... ahhhh, so many, it's all just so good!

When I saw the thumbnail for this video, a shiver went down my spine - Anarchy Rainbow was already enrapturing, but seeing you were doing a cover filled me with an anticipation that the video paid off in full!

[@TezasTunes]

I'm so touched to hear that you like it!!! Truth be told, I was really worried about people not liking this one, so your kind words really warm my heart.

[@flashkannon3157]

@@TezasTunes Yes, it's going to live in my brain next to your cover of Alexander's theme, and the Asgore Acapella, the first one I ever saw. I am glad I didn't lose track of you, your voice is excellent, and your composition of acapella works deserves to be more widely known.

[@deoxysoverlord8710]

Can you tell me how you did the voice filter for the Inkling voices? PLEASE.

[@TezasTunes]

Hi! So, I'm not very good with technical explanations unfortunately--most of what I did was adjusting EQ settings and playing with a filter called a Metalizer in the program I use for recording, Cubase! If you want, you can find me on discord via my discord server (linked in the pinned comment) and I can try giving a better explanation there! I usually check my YT comments from my phone, so it's a little harder to give long explanations xD

It's... involved but if you wanna do more inkling vocals Scruffy has a breakdown of how he emulated the filter for one of his "What I Love" videos. (idk how linking in YT comments work, the vid is "addendum - splatoon inkling vocal effects" by scruffy, or just search "scruffy splatoon" and it should pop up?)

[@TezasTunes]

I'm happy with what I've done on my own, but thanks for the suggestion! I'm actually content with what I got down without following any guides and think it's sufficient enough as-is.
