[@RitaKamishiro]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! 🤩

[@WizardRPG]

This is sparkle to me. The other entries are amazing, any of them could be winners, but personally I'm glad this one got first place. I feel like this is such a good presentation of her character, the lyrics, arrangement and most definitely the feel of the song are just perfect for her. Great job everyone who worked on it, well deserved!

[@RitaKamishiro]

Thank you so much!! 🥹 Sparkle was such a fun character to write and sing for!!

[@rengonzalez4233]

You definitely did Sparkle justice with this one. And by justice, I mean Chaos.

[@CharaBestGirlFr]

I love sparkle

[@marccurion1924]

Swing is love, swing is life. You've outdone yourself

[@EnvyMizuhashi]

The perfect villain song to make you love to hate Sparkle! You absolutely KILLED it, Rita!

[@RitaKamishiro]

Thank you!! It was such a departure from every other original song I've put together, so it was a fun challenge!!

[@letgomyeggo530]

This music got jazz hands all over.

[@SilentArt38]

this song is the bee's knees. a real toe tapper

[@samuelesanfilippo222]

christ, wasn't ready for this, and also sparkle with that kind of hairstyle......christ

[@Oishizou]

Sparkle would sing this song! Excellent job to Rita and Riku!

[@almighty_cheeselord]

I don’t even play star rail but this song slaps omg???? Listening to it on repeat rn

[@zogobaneofalot994]

You see sparkle completely trolled my understanding of gacha. I rolled a single 10 pull and got her twice then i rolled and got her light cone...sparkle does not care for probability it seems

[@willy.digael]

Congratulations on the 1st place Rita!!! 👏👏👏

[@MidnightCityMusic]

SUCH a well deserved 1st prize win you guys!! The production quality is splendid. I keep listening to it 😍

[@sen_is_busy]

I came here from the results page. What an amazing composition and what breathtaking singing! This song captures the vibe of Sparkle and Penacony perfectly! Congratulations!

[@WillabyNeko]

I can't believe how catchy this is.

[@corrinflakes9659]

“A composition that is filled with joyousness conveyed by perfect technique. The structure of the accompanying instruments is also wonderful. From this extravagant melody, we can detect the creator's confidence. It's great! This work is filled with heart-wrenching passion that captures the senses of the audience and brings them into the depicted world. The creator of this piece must be from the industry. They have to be professional. Right!?” -Yoko Kanno, judge

[@corrinflakes9659]

Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell composer BTW

[@wunderriku]

🫶

[@corrinflakes9659]

Not to be confused with Yugo Kanno, the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure composer.

[@sio_paowo]

Whenever it pops up in my recommended i just HAVE to listen to it again its so good ahhh

[@rabidbunnyman1678]

Congrats on winning Rita! You and the crew did a wonderful job! The frantic big band energy fits Sparkle well.

[@klondikesaloon7026]

OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT❤❤❤

[@rengonzalez4233]

Congrats on winning 1st place, Rita! Your "METHOD to the Madness" blew the judges' hearts away!

[@Mysticalightvids]

i swear songs based on what the planets were based on are a must need! this is so amazing and lives to the electro swing vibes wildly! And Sparkle really is giving s crazy show that is going to knock people shoes off

[@YogurtSnek]

THIS IS INSANE SUCH A WELL WRITTEN SONG I love the theme of it switching back and forth between the madness and sanity I hope you can win the Multiverse Vista! This is so awesome!

[@RitaKamishiro]

Oh my goodness, I’m glad I could give off the right vibes for Sparkle! Writing for her character was super fun, and I really wanted to play into it with my singing 🤩

[@spectralsoul4574]

​@@RitaKamishirothe "tow!" You did really hit the spot. Haven't heard anything this since Micjealm.🤌🏻

[@spectralsoul4574]

@@RitaKamishiro I just noticed today that the "Tow!" Part where you raise your voice higher sounds like Michael Jackson in Smooth Criminal 🤣

[@RitaKamishiro]

Thank you so much Quin!!! 🥰

[@leoryzap]

Fantastic. I wish this was the genre of music Robin sang in the game. Really fits penacony. Also love how sparkles theme is incorporated here

[@RitaKamishiro]

Thank you!! Yes, Riku did such a fantastic job including Sparkle’s theme!! We talked a bit about it during our after party stream, but he also included motifs from Dreamjolt Hostelry for the opening bar/lounge section!

[@shadowflamelightburst4503]

I guess I’m so deep in the rabbit hole that this can show up my home page, and I’m very happy this did. This song goes hard

[@hyperion8650]

Soo much charisma in this, I love it. The inspiration from Hazbin Hotel was definitely the correct choice for her

[@RitaKamishiro]

Thank you!! Our inspiration was actually from the musical Chicago, but I'll have to look into Hazbin Hotel now hahaha!! If you have the time, we'd really appreciate your vote for METHOD in Multiverse Vistas!! 🤩 act.hoyoverse.com/puzzle/hkrpg/pz_49r0QOzHRI/index.html?game_biz=hkrpg_global&

[@hyperion8650]

@@RitaKamishiro Ooh, then that's even more interesting, and now that you mention it, I can see it. I thought you've heard before Alastor's Insane song, or seen his whole vibe as a character, and choose to represent Sparkle under that same persona, because your song and Alastor's are a perfect match for my taste. And sure, I'll leave my vote around. I'd be looking forward to hear more songs from you as well!
