i gotta say i HATE IT when people try to put english language on splatoon songs. they AREN’T SPEAKING ENGLISH. they are speaking inklish or octarian or salmon….. salmonese? idk what you’d call that one POINT IS IT ISN’T ENGLISH

#these are inkfish. well except for omega-3 they r salmon #but regardless they aren’t human! they don’t speak any human language!#no english. no japanese #in fact the songs do have actual lyrics that the voice actors sing! and guess what!!!#they’re just syllables!!! no words! no english words anyways #the syllables actually change depending on the genre of the music #for example squid sisters are like a mix between traditional and j-pop so they get a lot of syllables common in japanese #but off the hook have a more hip-hop/raver style. they have more syllables common to english #it’s cool as it is!!!! don’t add arbitrary words bc #‘oh it sounds like pearl’s saying ‘you’re my show star’’#SHUSH #only exception i have to this rule is nasty majesty. marina is 100% saying the word nasty #i’ve just decided in my head that it’s a cognate. so blehhhhh #disclaimer this is not directed at people making ‘translations’ of the songs where the english lyrics are original #those fucking rule #this is abt people listening to the music and going ‘oh they are literally saying these words listen’
