Official translation (without character indicators): Here we stand in time- Endless past, present, and future span. Our wishes are the flame that lights up history. We’ve come far, you and I, on our journey. Sights and sounds, highs and lows, all that we’ve seen. Nothing at the start, in the void of night. Genimyusi enimo But then out there, in the dark, a path came to light. Bhee endinni mahati Did you think back then we’d be here? Guiding others in our shoes? ~ Wandi ~ Jassi kaazi yunuday Tiny, tiny seeds, left on the trail, Waday wheni oh ~ Someday to bloom. Star at night, Glowing bright, Bringing us your light- A message to us from far in the past, saying, “Shine on!” Kan biko zettin danso Byuroway sinderlay Words you write, Line by line, Showing us your sights- Passed down to us so we sing them today, we feel you still. Wan bikora feystin brazo Banin yaso Here we stand in time-endless past, present, and future span. Our wishes are the flame that lights up history. In the infinite sea of people passing in the dark, My brightly burning radiance drew you to me. Hey! I’m seeing things so clear- The past is in the rear. I’m a realist, I live in the now and seize it. I swim just like a shark- Move forward, never brake or park. Think you can hang? Whew! Let’s see what you can do! I’ve been searching, all of my life, Finally I’ve found my north star. Papara para pa My heart’s synched up, a satellite, Orbiting wherever you are. Papara para pa So your life sucks? Down on your luck? Gotta free yourself, get your mind unstuck. ~ Ranlan ni myuari nyoheri Dalatata, dalatata ~ Ranlan da radi battari battira Let fear push you on through, can do- Use some colors in your palette but blue, Paint it new! La la la wehnyaryueni Dalatatatta Ah~ When is the moment you should chase your dreams? It’s right now! Overlapping cycles, binary stardom Nothing can knock us out of our groove Paradonya wacchari no myuriteri Widori fizau chu Overlapping cycles, binary stardom With you, nothing can stand in my way Paradonya wacchari no myuriteri Sheegow churu Here we stand in time-endless past, present, and future span. Our wishes are the flame that lights up history. Surging down the line-glowing promise we hold in our hands. Reflecting off themselves to build a guiding gleam. Here we go, with the flow, no one knows the future. ~ Dari ~ Darii On we run, so much fun, where no one has yet been. ~ Bindo Our excitement shows the way, leading us on and on, Till we reach the lair where evil lies in wait! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! The monsters that we face ahead? ~ Nateii yuni wattaina Wattaina Wake me up when we meet a true threat. ~ Shamichaa shamichaa Chabbino windii nau Chains can’t hold me, we are too tough- Shidarite kandariya We’ll defeat them With a single cut! ~ Chimuyoo hoiyo Do you know just how we got so strong? It’s all thanks to the power of our bond. A triple threat like us is 30 times as fierce. So let’s have three cheers! What in the world could be at the journey’s end? What will we find in the land beyond the sands? A paradise? A golden realm? We yearn to know. But even so, When we find out what lies at our journey’s end, When I get there together with my dearest friends… The path we walked will blaze forever. Having you by my side Makes today perfect. La laalaalaa laa laa laalaalaa ~ Long as we can keep our hope alive, We’ll unite to find our dream someday. In the vast, Eternal sea, Known as the flow of time. Here we stand in time- Endless past, present, and future span. Our wishes are the flame that lights up history. All life here is one-intermingled in the hourglass. No start, no end, it lasts for all eternity.

Using environment shots of the Grand Fest in place of the opening footage was so clever! No matter how fast you run you can never get that opening ;-;

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

IKR! I tried so hard to get the opening and even when I got close I couldn't quite get the framing right. Thanks, I like to use b-roll as I feel it can add to the overall video. :3

[@CaitlinKoi]

I was only able to get opening footage courtesy of Wasarety who has a modded game, he even went through the trouble of filming close ups of each character at my request ;v; But the rest is all in-game, it's so satisfying to do your own cinematography!

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Ah well that was nice of him to do that for you. I do agree, it's more fun and creative to do your own cinematography. Plus it feels more personal that you get to choose where and what the camera focuses on, same with editing. :3

[@khabibnurmuhammadov]

This is why I love Nintendo games. People can hate Nintendo all they want, but I just can't imagine a gaming world without Nintendo.

[@Nintenguin]

This is really well put together! Honestly feels like something Nintendo themselves would do, because this just feels so professionally done.

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Thank you :3

[@wesleytucher6332]

Omg Off the Hooks handshake is everything

[@chipi4179]

I smiled throughout the whole video like an idiot lol, this makes me so happy, splatoon peaked at the grand festival

[@lolmaster6476]

4:37 I noticed they hold their fingers out to show their order of the game like Callie and Marie have 1 Pearl and marina have 2 and Shiver and Frye have 3 fingers out(sorry big man you don’t have fingers ;-;)

[@djscout1868]

Good lord seeing this brings me to tears, I did experience this event myself but seeing it again always makes me emotional.

[@kataminedj]

cried to this it's so beautiful

[@AluminiaBanaki]

4:14 I love thus part so much and just deep cut them selfs omg I love them so much but this part just make me so happy

[@MuhammadIlhamuodd254512]

Im gonna miss this alot. The concert of Now or Seven was a Big Bang. would be cool if they perform this song in Real Life Splatoon live performance. that would be amazing and emotional at the same time 😭😭

[@fionali4502]

Nintendo has certainly captured the vibe of the music festivals I’ve been to in recent years, especially the Pride music festivals. The recent music festival I attended is Manchester Pride 2024. Other than that, it’s a coincidence that I’ve always wanted to write an article about how I envisioned the future of the Splatoon series in terms of music. I, too, imagined what if Nintendo finally decided to develop a Splatoon VR game where you’re at a music festival and you’re seeing everything around you via the VR headset. Once you put on the VR headset, it makes you feel like you really are at a music festival. Nintendo has already done concerts in real-life but why stop there? They should do music festivals as the next step.

[@annabait-ml1wd]

This is what I wish somebody did for Frosty Fest in Splatoon 2 (Because those are my favorite Splatoon 2 special outfits)

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

I've done other edits similar to this with the seasonal Anarchy Rainbows. I might redo them again since they are re-releasing those fests later.

[@VoidedAurora]

This is lowkey so awesomesauce

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Tanks :3

[@theandyman_64]

When I first saw that they were gonna have a drone for you to pilot around, I was hoping that would incentivize more people to try filming stuff like this. It's fun filming music videos like these and this one tuned out fantastic!!! I still need to work on mine at some point.

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Thanks! I know, I was glad that it made moving the camera a lot easier, especially because it got rid of the guide mark. It was really fun to film, especially how different this performance is compared to the others. I wish you luck on your own projects!

[@OcéaneLagacé-v4o]

Best song from Splatoon 3 forever.

[@korogumi]

DUDEEEEE THIS US SO AMAZING. Insanely well put together. I love how you clipped in the parts where the other idols did backing vocals (ex. squid sisters “ha! Ha! ha!”)

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Thanks :3

[@inklingplush7592]

i cannot imagine how long this took to make, absolutely phenomenal work!

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Thanks, it was about 8 hours of recording + about 24 hours of editing totaling approximately 32 hours over the span of five days.

[@someweirdo]

[@chrissmithers3255]

I love how the hearts match the colors of the idols. 🥲❤ Edit: The colors they typically represent.

[@rainbowkitsune]

Ive been looking for something like this for a long time THANK YOUUU It really brings more live to it and I’m forever grateful

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fernavliz1]

Awesome edition for an awesome song that commemorates one of the things that makes splatoon great. I will teasure these memories of me when I watched the grand festival; definitely this video will bring me good memories when I rewatch it someday in the future. Great job! Here, buy yourself some cookies or something :).

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Aw thank you Fern. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the Grand Festival! :3

[@Tabbychu]

This is legitimately so amazingly put together! The editing is great and so seamlessly smooth, and I can only imagine how long it took you to get each shot for each specific part! AND THE CAMERA IS SO SMOOTH ON THE MOVING SHOTS!! Amazing job, friend 🫶🏻

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Thank you :3

[@kristykris9]

THIS DESERVES SO MANY LIKES WHAT

[@ziljohnsuson]

I miss slpatoon 3

[@robert_roland63]

What you have done to make a music video out of this song deserves a sub from me! Well done! Still feel like I was there when it was happening. Thank you for making me emotional! 🥲

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Thanks, I appreciate it! :3

[@novantric]

Just needs the english lyrics and perfection o7

[@Gonig]

It's so beautiful! Imagine how this would look if the Switch had rtx

[@splatboi_calamari]

I live this song and the way you edited this makes me think that Nintendo made this

[@pokemonfangirl]

I love this song and this video ❤😊

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Thanks :3

[@Lico_N64]

I was hoping someone would do a cinematic cut of the concert! Are you going to do any of the other performances?

[@payurtaxesisabelle]

Yes, I've actually already done cinematic music videos for some of the Anarchy Rainbow variants. I do plan on doing more of the concert performances but probably going to space them out so it gives me time to edit them and other things I have planned.
