Everlonely Rolling Star | Foo Fighters × Katamari

[@CrimsonPhoenixBen]

The song "Lonely Rolling Star" is a really appropriate choice when you know some of the story behind it. The singer, Saki Kabata, was going through the loss of her very close friend who died in a car accident. This had a big influence on her career, and she didn't put out any music for the first half of that year except for "Lonely Rolling Star". She was chosen to sing for the game after the lyrics had already been written, but considering what was happening her personal life, the song's lyrics take on this bittersweet double meaning. It's basically someone talking indirectly to their friend, about being in the sun together, chatting and becoming entwined together (like a Katamari), and to keep moving forward. Don't stand in one place, keep rolling lonely star, go and make your dreams come true, right now I want to be by your side, but we'll meet together again one day, under the sparkling stars. Excellent work as always nakinyko.

[@nakinyko]

Whoa, never knew the backstory, thanks for sharing Seems like both songs have sad backstories, maybe that's why they both sound real bittersweet

[@Scruffy729]

bro that made me tear up :(

[@Scruffy729]

nothing sadder then losing a loved one

[@SapphireRose0205]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she also fall in love with another composer while working on the sequel games? and that's why "Lonely Rolling No More" in Katamari Forever is a duet

[@phdonny]

That everything could ever be this funky, that anything could ever be mashed up again.

[@LeBeautiful]

A Katamari Damacy mashup, *in 2022.* With FOO FIGHTERS! Only Nakinyko can pull something so unique like this.

[@Snev]

Somehow more bittersweet than the original, even without taking Hawkins' passing into consideration Dave's vocals fit this minimal pop electronica style of music, like some kind of Midwest emo Serani Poji

[@pinklmaonade]

Our little prince of the cosmos rolled up another banger for us! No matter how upbeat Lonely Rolling Star sounds, the song just feels too sad. Thanks for the tune.

[@wiseonekenobi]

Dropped everything I was doing to check this new banger. Hail to the mashup king!

[@DaymanOurSavior]

I love both of these songs, I also love how you vocalized the guitar melody and stylized the vocals. The lyrics seem even more bittersweet when thinking of them in the world of Katamari too. Can anything be this good again?

[@shadowraze]

he didn't add the "vocalized guitar melody", that's from the original song

[@TentacleBoss_XJ9]

Luv your works, you have a great taste

[@nickolias7292]

for someone who uploads 3 times a year this is a surprisingly strong banger

[@i_am_kofit]

Nakinyko only uploads 3 times a year, it's not surprising they bang when he does 🤔

[@everydayuntilyoulikeit1501]

Quality takes time king.

[@Misshowzat]

Promising not to stop has a whole new connotation now. Crazy sweet.

[@itsBEEEEEES]

Everytime I see a new upload from you, that's a drop everything I'm currently doing and appreciate 5 minutes of mashup perfection.

[@jmashups6804]

As a massive fan of Foo Fighters, this is absolute gold. The harmony between the guitars and the original instrumental is fantastic and just, overall, I really love how you managed to completely change the feel of Everlong. Fantastic work as usual Naki.

[@faxxelconejoloco9293]

Everytime he comes with something new he creates a new masterpiece

[@Turngaitify]

oh my god it happened I kept praying for a Lonely Rolling Star Mashup, and I got one from Nakinyko himself

[@dennistran7734]

I'm such a stupid idiot for not realizing that an instrumental for Lonely Rolling Star exists. Man my Google-fu sucks. Once again, your knack for taking all your sources and mixing them in such a way to make them sound natural is something I wish to not only emulate, but achieve someday.

[@nakinyko]

I only found out about it weeks ago, apparently you can rip it from a Namco game called We Ski Although it's only in mono, and it sounds like it's coming from an in-game speaker, so I had to compress the low and high frequencies to make up for the speaker effect haha

[@pseudogenesis]

@@nakinyko Lonely Rolling Star was in We Ski? How in the hell??? I love LRS and We Ski was my jam back in the day, but I never noticed. Was it was of those songs hidden in the files but not used ingame?

[@nakinyko]

@@pseudogenesis Never played the game, but from what I understand, there are hub areas where an outdoor speaker is playing music, and several Katamari instrumentals were included hehe

[@seaglass3034]

Really love your creations nakinkyo-san. Thanks for sharing them--as always. Hope you're well.

[@one.ebrown]

I swear every time I decide to come back to Nakinyko, the dude makes a new upload in like 2 days.

[@speedstriker]

Which parallel dimension did I stumble into to be able to hear this song at 12:38 of 9 April 2022? Can I stay here? It's scary back home.

[@soulbiscuitx8275]

Here to pay my respects to the king. Glad you're still around

[@Mustarda_HD]

No aguardo para a próxima pedrada de nakinyko🥸

[@Mustarda_HD]

O homem sabe fazer uma formosa composição harmoniosa e expressiva de sons,no qual junta várias personalidades sonoras afim de construir algo maior.Tiro meu chapéu para essa grandiosidade da musicalidade 🎩.E,normalmente,estou no aguardo para o próximo lançamento de Nakinyko

[@joeydestructo]

I could totally see Dave wearing a King of Space costume like that in a music video

[@123bluesssman]

Great mashup as always. Rest in peace, Taylor Hawkins.

[@wmdtone]

I cannot stop listening to this. It keeps coming up in my feed and I listen every time. Perfection.

[@YoshiSF]

I've heard Everlong so many times. it's still mindblowing to hear in this new context and have it feel like it's the first time hearing it. This piece is amazing work!

[@kumail786]

No scope needed because Nakinyko dont miss.

[@SBlueboy1]

Long time no see, and a very welcoming return it is!

[@brownbalak4641]

I cannot thank you enough man. There's no one like you on here. Keep it up, cuz i'll never tire of this.

[@samlh]

Holy sh*t, I did not expect the song to be _this_ good

[@sonzato]

OK! So as of today, I am caught up with every video on your channel lol. I subscribed somewhere along that journey. Love your out the box ideas man, seriously. All of your mashups range from good to amazing, not a single bad song except one (debatable). Not all of them are my cup of tea, but that doesn't make them bad. I've liked all of the songs I claim are amazing, which by the way is a hard thing to get from me. I only like videos I plan to go back to for a long time. Hell, you've even inspired me to think of some ideas. Like mixing Diary by Alicia Keys with some Japanese lyrics. You'd def make it better than I would tho lol. ANYWAY, sorry for the long message. Anything you post from now on, I'm all ears for it. Also my first Osu! map will most likely be one of your mashups 😉

[@sonzato]

Complete missed opportunity to say "From good to Freek’n Amazing". I've disgraced my family cow

[@ilovecomputers]

This better get a million views. Instant classic
