I really don't get why the English localization team all those years ago changed the title of this song from KK Gamelan, a perfectly descriptive title for the instrument used, to KK Marathon. What about Gamelan music that reminds them of a marathon? I really don't get it
iirc, Gamelan was syllabically written as “Ga-mu-ra-n” in Japanese. Translators took this as “Game Run” and thought that a better localization would be “Marathon”.
@@shaytjandramulia Oh my god, is that the reason? It made so much sense for that era of game localizatiin, but that's so stupid, I screamed xD I'm so glad international translations are much better nowadays
@@Fridgemasters okay sure, but I haven't found any airchecks that are exactly the same as what plays in your house. Most have different instrumentation and stuff
@@cosmosisrose actually there are 3 different versions of the Aircheck versions of each song, one that plays on Radios, one that plays on Low Quality speakers and another with more detail thats played on High Quality speakers.
Could you record every song, convert it into a high quality audio file and upload it to MEGA or something? I love the live versions and wanna listen to them whenever I can on my PC, since the game doesn't allow for that.

WHY THIS IS IS UNDERRATED!?
Because isabelle never sang it
Because it's a song style that doesnt appeal to western music sensibilites.
Because bubblegum is better
Ikr
@@billyshakespeare488 rip southeast asian countries (where gamellan is their culture).
When you're South-East Asian and you find a KK song to vibe with
The live version has a much more mysterious tone to it compared to the aircheck
1:05 The tiger is interfering with their musical trip
"Oh hey there K.K. Slider what are you singing-

@@korohacker yes that's kinda stupid but also funny, as Indonesia who knew bali music or gamelan I really dispointed by those translator team
@@reyviewchannel97 I know right, I really wish they changed to K.K. Gamelan☹️
It’s because halfway through the aircheck version the beat gets faster and starts to “run”
when he went
ashsos spsoa skskap skaoap
i felt that
This is such a javanese reference song omg
actually balinese ...
@@rianahadi1728 yeah it's a balinese gamelan tho
Balinese to be exact, just see the cover of the album 😁
yeah! Why is it called Marathon?
@@shoebill328 it called gamellan (a balinese instrument) in japanise, but english translator think that is GAME RUN OR MARATHON 😑
Could we get some uploads of the versions that actually play in your house? Some of these sound very different than when kk plays them at home
just look up air check with the song
@@Fridgemasters okay sure, but I haven't found any airchecks that are exactly the same as what plays in your house. Most have different instrumentation and stuff
That's what I want to know this version is so dark
Pen God They are the same.

Noooo i'm screaming, i just found out about thisss

Sad
could you please do k.k. synth? 🥺 it’s my favorite song in the game
i think the instrumental version is better
I swear to god, Ive heard the melody of 0:22-0:26 somewhere before, but I cant put my finger on it.
Part of the spirited away soundtrack ? Because that’s what I‘m looking for 😂
I cant access to this song, everytime i put kk marathon he sings other song!
You need to put
K. K. Marathon
It is very picky, so you have to put it very specific
Can villagers sing to this song?
They can
Can you do K.K. Song?
