The full complete translation of Haikara Walker

hey you know how Haikara Walker hasn't seen a single sign of an official english localization after all these years?

wouldn't it be crazy if it got fully fan translated and typeset. cover to cover. that sure would be crazy. anyway don't click this google doc link. and be sure to avoid this internet archive link.

....but if you do click those links, be sure to read the credits! I did a lot of translations and editing, but not all of it, and I had no part in the gargantuan task of typesetting and formatting. @mk_squid (insta link) is especially who made this possible, as well as @wassuppeas!

Hey, all!

Hey

I'm back, gonna make a review about Octoplush this time, they might not be Turquoise October, but they have some good songs

Octoplush

Nine Out Of Tension: the song that appeared in the trailer, although with some changes, honestly I prefer the trailer version because of the tiny build up it has, but sadly it's not the full song so the in-game version is probably better?, But yeah, this is the song that's most similar to a Turquoise October song (at least for me) and I think it's a nice way to transition into the Octoplush songs, so you feel some familiarity with it and then you start to hear more and more of them, with their different style and sounds, overall one of my favorite ones

Underwater Neon: something I like about Octoplus is how different their songs sound, like they are made by different people, Turquoise October had a lil bit of that but in Octoplush's case it's more noticeable, may I also add that there appear to be vocals similar to Warabi in the song, it doesn't sound that similar but still, I do wonder about that, especially after another song of theirs has a reference to another octoling musician, oh yeah the song, so the song is nice I like the tone it has, I have to say the Octoplush songs are one of my favorites in Splatoon 3

Flop to it: hearing this makes me really appreciate the different tempos Octoplush uses for their songs, it really makes a difference even if you don't pay attention to them, gives the levels variety, not only in terms of gameplay but also sound and stuff like that; hearing this again reminds me of Turquoise October a lil bit, maybe because of the sounds they used

Smoke and Mirrors: a really nice slow song, I like the marimba they used there (I think it's marimba idk, maybe it's a xylophone) it has a nice synth as well, I remember really enjoying the levels this played in, I believe that Octoplush has so many cool songs that fit each level really well

Ride or Fry: ok this song is cool and all of that BUT I HATE THE LEVELS IT'S IN, well only one of them, the rest are fine, the one I'm talking about is One-way Ride through Target Town, it's so hard, especially with the tri-stringer, it's the only level I have to beat with all of the weapons and it pisses me off because of that, anyways the song is cool, the weird vocals it has are, well weird, but I like em

With Flying Colors: ok this one is another one of my favorites, the levels it plays in are fun and the song itself is fun, I like the trumpets it uses and also the voice clips it uses, which I assume are from opera singers, I think, and this also reminds of like, are those like, humans? Idk if inkfish could replicate opera singers, if they are humans this would remind me of Paul and how he supposedly remixes human vocals, which is interesting

Seep & Destroy: 🗿

Ok funny stuff aside I really like this song, it makes the levels it plays in feel better and it also has a nice beat to it, and like, the funny bing bang stuff, it also has a different version in splatune 3 which I personally like more than the one in-game

Marine Machines: ok this song is wayyyyy different in terms of like, songs you would usually hear in story mode, which is super cool I like how it makes the levels feel more mysterious and also tense, especially fog levels, I think it played in one of them, but yeah overall I would love to see more songs like this one because it slaps, it has a nice bass to it as well

#35 caught: ok we are finally in the song I wanted to talk about the most, the title of the song is obviously a reference to Dedf1sh, which also makes me wonder if she's part of Octoplush now, and this also makes me wonder about those vocals in Underwater Neon that reminded me of Warabi and the ones in With Flying Colors that resembled what Paul does, it feels like Octoplush is a conglomerate of Octoling and Octarian musicians and it's honestly really interesting I wish they talked more about that, or that we got more info on them, hopefully the side order band will give us more information, who knows maybe it will be Dedf1sh and we'll see her all fuzzy, or maybe its Octoplush again or a new Octarian band, it's interesting to think about, I'm so excited for side order and the new band it will have, this reminded me of something I discussed with someone about Octoplush, it might be like, Mr grizz using Octarian musicians to make songs and attract more Octarians to use, that's why he could kidnap all of the Octarians because he made them come to him with the songs, also the song is really good it gives this feeling like, of anxiety, and it's really good (the song not the feeling)

Don't Flinch: ok theories aside, we are almost done here, this one is one of my least favorite ones, it's ok I don't see much in it, EXCEPT THE ICE CREAM TRUCK JINGLE IN IT, idk why it's there but it's so funny that it immediately became one of the ones I like the most, only because of that, and I mean, it has so many weird sounds in it as well

In Filtration: funny name tbh, anyways so this song plays at the first rocket level and it honestly is so good, idk if it's just me but it sounds kinda like an intro to pour it on, I feel like they go well together idk why

And that's about it, Octoplush might not be Turquoise October but their songs are really good, and they have so many things I would like to know about, I hope the side order band or album gives more lore to them; anyways, you are free to go now, I will make another review in 5 years or so goodbye now
