Todays rip: 28/12/2023
Fly Octo Fly (ft. Glenna)
Season 3
Featured on: STRINGS OF FATE ~ SiIvaGunner: King for a Day Tournament Original Soundtrack
Ripped by MtH
I've been showing a lot of love recently to the King for Another Day Tournament, so I thought it'd only be fair to turn the clock back a step to the tournament that came before it - the ORIGINAL King for a Day Tournament from Season 3! And though its stakes certainly didn't feel as high and emotionally charged as the ones of the second tournament, like I talked about in 11 Minutes of City Pop and Lifelike Waterway, there was one thing it absolutely wasn't short on: HYPE.
Though quite intentionally, completely disconnected from all currently ongoing lore on the channel, there was an undeniable excitement in the air surrounding the original KFAD, seeing so many of the channel's best rippers go full hands-on-deck with arrangements of insane quality. There's a lot of favorites to pick from here, but the standout star contestant of this first tournament in particular has to be Off the Hook ft. Glenna Nalira (later changed to Paruko).
While they were out immensely early in the second tournament, their selection of demo rips hit the channel like several oncoming trucks in their sheer quality and following popularity - likely due to the recent release of the Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2, the hype for Splatoon music was higher than ever, and rippers like MtH were sure to capitalize on it. Fly Octo Fly was originally the final boss theme to the aforementioned Octo Expansion, and this is an excellent arrangement of a fantastic theme already, yet its given flavor with a now-primarily "chiptune" driven sound. It so perfectly conveys that Paruko's addition to the group isn't JUST Dead Line sneaking in their favorite character into the tournament as a guest, but that their particular brand of in-universe Splatoon music was going to have an immediately visible effect on the group's arrangements.
There's little else to say beyond just pointing to the arrangement itself and telling y'all to go listen to it - the work MtH did to merge the fantastic Off the Hook sound with a wholly new bleep-bloopy style to create something that, genuinely hits harder than the original theme to me at this point, is simply amazing. The original KFAD is absolutely deserving of a rewatch for me, and rips like Fly Octo Fly (ft. Glenna) only further assure me of that.
