The Splatoon 2 "idol" band Off the Hook had their first solo performance and it's pretty great, long as you have a tolerance for gibberish.

Compared to events a year ago, the animation's surprisingly fluid and the music's fantastic. I also love the little details the added in that make it seem much more like a stage performance, such as interacting with each other and the band.

No stand alone release yet, but the concert starts around 6 hours, 40 minutes in.

Going in completely blind ( the only thing about splatoon I know is it having some sort of collab with Ika Musume a few years back) I enjoyed this a lot. I love Jrock to death(metal) haha.


If anyone wants more music like this, look up Galneryus, they do a few anime intros and endings too such as the second ending of Hunter X Hunter and their sound could fit as a battle theme for any Jrpg final boss fight.

Apparently there's going to be a free play period in late March.

Which seems weird given their previous announcement that they were going to end active development and just do maintenance and balance patches. That's not when you start a promotion.

I've got a hunch that Nintendo's upcoming financial report is going to be very, very interesting.

Japanese thing. Cultural remnants of the Spanish flu.

Also, a fashion from the game

That just saved me a listen. Nothing about that sounds good to me.
Nah, give it a shot, they aren't what you'd call a traditional idol group.
More a gay rap goblin and her much taller and more talented girlfriend.

You should have led with "gay rock goblin."

It worked for Labyrinth (though Bowie was bi, I guess, so not completely accurate?)

I wanted that part to be a surprise :)

Though I wish I could read Japanese. They've got some mid-concert dialogue on the big screen.
