I didn't originally catch the Piano Man sound in this until I re-listened to Piano Man and goddamn yeah it is like nearly 1-to-1 lmao. You cannot call Daisuke uninspired for sure. Guilty Gear is my shower music of choice and I don't always sing along to it (mostly cuz these songs are rly hard to sing) but I find myself belting this one out especially with the chorus and the final section which hits me emotionally rly hard. The story told in this song is both funny and really sweet and tugs at my heart personally, ESPECIALLY when you know what it's all a metaphor for in the Guilty Gear story. Even though this song released with Dizzy and plays during the credits of her arcade mode we have reason to believe the song is actually about Baiken and Delilah (altho I think it can apply to Dizzy too). The intro motif can be heard in the credits of the DLC story mode which focuses on Baiken and Delilah, and the metaphors in the song just kinda line up perfectly. The dog would be Baiken, the girl Delilah, and the rain would be the grief they both feel over losing their loved ones to That Man, and them trying to get out if the rain is them seeking revenge. But in that DLC story mode when Baiken sees Delilah, this poor little kid, trying to go down the same dark path she has, she eventually decides to abandon her revenge and live a normal life with Delilah instead. The rain never stops, like how such intense grief of losing someone you love can never really disappear, but when the dog and the girl were together they found a break in the clouds. I think it's really beautiful and it adds a lot to my love of these two characters. Yep that's all! Venom is slated for early 2025, and given there's characters slated for spring and summer too my guess is Venom will release in January or February. He has some good themes in the old games! My favorite themes of his are "A Solitude That Asks Nothing In Return" from XX, "Keeper of the Unknown" from the Korean version of XX, and his Isuka theme "The Irony of Chaste" is probably one of the more well known tracks from that game. Also even tho it's my least favorite of his themes by process of elimination, I'll mention "Call Shot" from Xrd too. Since he's an Assasin, he's also included in the Assasins versus themes. "Existence" from XX, "Rogue Hunters" from XX Korean, and "When Life Comes" from Xrd. If you wanna get familiar with Venoms sound before Strive then there's some homework lmao.
now just to wait till more characters come out! next should be Venom: a returning character and fan favorite.
I will be looking forward to more songs coming out! Venom sounds like the song attached will be quite ominous. 😁
