Splatoon and Splatoon 2 are fantastic games, establishing a new franchise that'll likely run on for many years to come. A big part of the games, apart from splatting things, is the music - from day one the IP has had its own distinct style that goes from strength to strength with each added track, while live performances are hugely popular in Japan especially.
Nintendo is consistently adding music to the latest title on Switch, and over the past two weeks has continued the trend of releasing behind the scenes videos, showing some of these tracks being laid down in the recording studio. As is often a case with Nintendo's music videos they're a fascinating watch, and a chance to marvel at the talented musicians that make the quirky beats happen.
It's good stuff, though we'd likely be corpsing / breaking a fair bit if we were performing this music; it must be a lot of fun working on projects like that.
Are you still enjoying all of the music that Splatoon 2 has to offer?

I do like how splatoon has its own unique flavor when it comes to music.
Splatoon rocks!
Fantastic thank you. Playing splatoon multiplayer i was wondering how they make the music. Simply fantastic.
They should also put the spotlight on the people that design the gear and general look of the inklings. They need some love too.
Awesome! I love Splatoon and love seeing and hearing any behind the scenes stuff.
That Cello though.
Hmm, the singers.....these songs aren't Callie & Marie, but I can't tell, they haven't actually credited the singers this time around....but....aren't they the same singers that did Callie & Marie's VAs in the second video?
Love it. I like how they started to toss in more genres but still add that very Splatoon sound
Splatoon music is such a strong part of the game's identity.
I used to wonder if I liked Nintendo music so much just because it was repeated so much while enjoying such a great past time, but Nintendo has managed to make unique, fun, engaging, and well-integrated music from the NES days until now, and they still seem to value the soundtrack so much.
It's gotten to the point that I anticipate the music in 1st party Nintendo games almost as much as the games themselves.
It's rad that they're introducing different 'bands' in the fictonal world to justify their experimentation with different instrumental ensembles. The songs with the violin sound like Kansas on speed. Siiiick.
I love splatoon.
so.
damn.
much.
Yup
