AAHHHH YESSS!!!!
If this song hints at her backstory then
I will “accidentally” push the octo/inkling that hurt her into a lagoon-
From the lyrics, it could be hinting on a producer/manager of hers that force her to become famous. But it seems like she got free from their grasp. Still, I want to join you in this 'accident's of yours.
Whoever they are, I do hope that the sea "finds" them, if you know what I mean
That was AMAZING
And the verse with “tonight~” I can’t stop singing
THANK YOUUUU
The "tonight" part was actually something I improvised after singing my first take.
i agree with this :>
wait... hol up. ur username looks really familiar wait i think i have a friend on switch called coollastic do u have a friend on switch called "○Charq○"? cos thats my username (if u even have a switch that is)
Just Straight up
Beautiful, nice Job Koi!
How the hell do people become octoling icons? someone explain it to me now
I feel like the part ”You closed your eyes, didn’t see me cry” means that Sei ignored Raina’s feelings. Hear me out on this theory:
What if Raina and Sei had a good relationship at first, as (possibly) hinted in ”do you remember all the secrets you told me” and ”do you remember your lullaby”. These are good points in their relationship, they could tell each other things and back each other up. Then Sei started to get more and more busy, maybe with some kind of work or with friends, and Raina got left behind. They started prioritizing work/friends and forgot about her. This could (possibly) be hinted in the lines: ”You closed your eyes, didn’t see me cry” (they didn’t pay attention to Raina’s feelings) and ”Even though I am alone in this spotlight” ( maybe Sei promised to perform with Raina/watch her perform, but they didn’t show up). And in the Octopia news episode were Octoprism introduced Syzygy, Raina got upset and (I think) she said something along the lines of ”They think they can just show up here after all this time!” Maybe Raina didn’t mean ”they” as in Syzygy but as Sei since they use he/they pronouns!
My second theory is that Sei was the reason Raina performed for a while, maybe they started prioritizing her fame rather then emotions after a while and kinda pushed her into performing? All the lines that showed Sei’s (potential) ignorance towards Raina’s feelings could still be applied here, maybe they didn’t really care for what she wanted? At one point, Raina was done with all of it. This can (possibly) be hinted in the lines ”I’m not singing/dancing for you”, Raina finally broke free from all of it and started to perform for herself instead of performing for Sei. These are just my theories, feel free to tell me what you guys think. Have a lovely day everyone! 💜✌️
“Even though you’re on my mind, I’m not dancing for you” *cries in octarian* But seriously this song is beautiful and I cannot stop replying it 💕
Those animations are as beautiful as her voice!!! And the music is fantastic as well!!!
Thank you so so much! I really tried to make this one as smooth as possible.
Also, it's my voice ;3c
Caitlin Koi That’s amazing. This sounds very exquisite and elegant. I’m glad I subscribed to this channel.
touch of color more like...
TOUCH OF LIKE BUTTON THIS IS AMAZING WTF
Make a bot which keeps creating new accounts and viewing and subscribing to her
I may have missed the live stream, but that doesn't mean I won't ever get a chance to listen to this wonderful new track from Octoprism.
Beautiful job, Catlin Koi!💕💕💕
Who else sees Raina as a mother figure of sorts? Also this is amazing! Raina’s singing sounds so amazing!
her slight frown turning into a smile- so glad i noticed that. This song is beautiful btw! ✨
This song has been stuck in my head for the last 2 months and I’m not mad about it
I couldn't sleep...It was already 7AM
So I just decided to Jam to this as I lay in bed looking at my bright, White curtained window as it slowly got brighter as a new day would begin...
1 year ago? Feels like five minutes.. it’s impressive how much time has passed, I remember this channel before Octoprism ever existed.. *flashbacks*
Caitlin, I think your fans have been blessed with this melody~
THIS IS FANTASTIC!!! Awesome job!!!
Omg the lyrics are also amazing-
This vid is simply perfect
THIS IS AMAZING!!! The song is really good, and Sampling Kid has really improved the inkling voice effects! They sound super close to those in the game! Also, the art you made for the video is really pretty, I love the blueish glow. And as usuall, the animations for it are so pretty as well 😊 you have amazed me yet again! I’ll be looking forward to seeing more of Octoprism in the future!
I was hoping for a solo and finally
:>
If only this was in a concert
Now knowing generally who she is singing about now, thanks to Syzygy coming out, I love this song so much more!
Absolutely genius Caitlin 💕
Who’s she singing about? And how does it relate to syzygy? I can’t find anything about it.
Me:*feels so stressed*
Caitlin koi:*makes this song*
Also me:*blessed noises*
Also Caitlin:*loves my comment*
Also also me*even more blessed noises*
I feel satisfied from this song hit my core so hard it started cooling down
THIS IS AMAZING, there so needs to be an extended version of this!
I actually wrote an entire second verse, basically the same melody but with different lyrics. But Samples convinced me it would just be a lot of extra work and it was fine to cut it out.
@@CaitlinKoi Even though you cut them out, can we see what the second verse was going to have if that's ok with you?
i love the way the art is animated!
Yay Raina's solo she's my favorite!
I can't explain how much i relate with the lyrics of this song at this point. i've had a toxic relationship, and didn't realize until a good friend told me. i wouldn't believe that the toxic friend was toxic if i wasn't dumped for being emotional. i'm normally an emotional person, but the event of being dumped has scarred me for life.
@@CaitlinKoi This reply to me venting some (honestly petty) feelings that i've had for over a year has made my day brighter. Thank you.
@@blushybadboi Same thing for me, except i was duped for "not being cool" even though everyone says im the most popular girl in school so the girl who dumped me is just dum, same as the person who dumped u. #ignore bullies!
This solo is incredible. The vocals are top-tier. Great job as always Catlin 👏🥺
When I look away from the lyrics I can’t tell what she’s saying(which is a good thing, that’s what official splatoon music sounds like) good work!
Raina has such a beautiful singing voice!
Mate.... this is the best splatoon fan proyect I’ve seen... THE FRICKING BEST M8!
I literally can't stop listening to this. It's so clean. The vocals are so smooth, the music is just right.. the animations just look so professional!
No kidding this legit made me cry. It's just so beautiful!!!
That is so adorable to where i am crying. Way cuter than my tortoises
This is so amazing!!! Koi, you’re so creative and cool! I aspire to make songs for my Splatoon fan idols, and this really inspires me. I really wish I could give you more support as a patron, but I don’t have a credit card. But anyway, rock on, all you woomies and veemos!
"Even though you're on my mind
In this spotlight, I'm not singing for you"
*woah*
I approve this
Even I need a touch of color. I mean even my new markers look depressing.
Everything is so gorgeous and amazing! The voices, the lyrics and even the music has improved so much compared to Synthronize~ Love this 💖
Listening to the song while watching Raina sway back and forth really calms me ☺️💞
Oh. My. God. This gave me chills in my back, It's wonderful!!! The animation of Raina, the sweet and melancolic tone on her voice, the lovely lyrics, the instrumental is so sweet and lofi style... This song have a brilliant Tide Goes Out vibe on it! This is the result of love and dedication in your works and I'm glad to see "your colors shine" like this...! Amazingly wonderful as always Mrs. Caitlin!!!
*bro I be jealous of her eye liner du.*
*man I kinda wanna be an octarian now*
This looks as good as it sounds! Good job mate!
Once I get good with the Splatoon Vocals, I might make a Cover if one of my Idols singing this for fun as a karaoke session or something. Anyway, I love this with almost everything in my heart. (Still need room for Synthronize though XD)
It is so statifying to hear Rina sing
Idk why
She just has a different singing style
My instructions for this song from Samples was to sing more breathy and lo-fi :3
This is an amazing song and character. The personality of Raina, the tune and beat of the song, the lyrics and the overall theme and aesthetic are just so fantastic.
The general vibe I get from this seems to be hinting at something from her backstory- I'm thinking either about some she lost who, while they're on her mind and she wishes they were still here, they've moved on, and will no longer let grief get hold of them. It kinda has a hard time explaining the "I'm not singing/dancing for you" parts, but maybe it's supposed to mean she's done letting her grief drip into everything she does.
Another idea, though, that might work better, is not losing someone, but rather escaping someone. Someone she thought was good, who would comfort her, ("Do you remember all the secrets you told me?" "How I closed my eyes wanting you to hold me" etc etc) but it turns out they did all that just to get her trust, to take advantage of her. Even though this is all on her mind, she isn't singing for whoever it is that hurt her.
Edited to add: Also the more subtle side of things, like Raina's expression changing throughout the song, and the cheer effects added in at certain parts.
Edit 2: oh, apparently editing causes UA-cam to automatically unheart the comment. Rip 🙁
But the point is still that the song is amazing. You've really done fantasticly, Koi. Out of all the songs on this channel, I come to this one the most.
"Do you remember all the secrets you told me?"
Do you remember your lullaby?"
"I'm not dancing for you"
Who is she singing about?
Me: *Loves the whole soundtrack*
Also me: *Watches your videos and realizes that all the lyrics are mostly talking about "Hear our song", "Love" and "Something depressing I dunno-"*
And that's were like I am like
"OK, C H I L L"
I’m getting all the good vibes and emotions from this
Also I am currently using this to fall asleep, not cause it’s boring but because it’s so calming💙💚💗
This song was delightful... it made me feel so calm and relaxing like a lullaby...
This is stunningly beautiful! You've done such an amazing job with this, it feels both like it could have come right out of the game and like a totally unique song at the same time. It's truly amazing :D
While watching this all I could think is that Raina is so pretty. I'll be there for Bo's solo a.k.a my girl. Keep up the good work, Caitlin!
Omg, its soo beautiful!Keep up that amazing work!
I already can't wait for the single song from Bo!
Literally my go to song for when I wanna chill or when I'm working on something.
We have to get Nintendo to notice you! These idols in splatoon three would be amazing!
This is straight up fire!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your vids and stay fresh!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
OH MY GOODNESS. This animation is seriously amazing. The color scheme, the amazing song, and the way you animated it just fits soooo well I CAN'T
join Caitlin's patreon for early access to stuff like this! Your appreciation will be acknowledged!
This sounds amazing Caitlin Koi!
Great work as always!
The fact that Catlin did the vocals is insane
That moment when you have your own fan idols and some music ideas but you don't have any sort of like editing or at least decent recording equipment to make your ideas real--
I love this song just hearing the lyrics I could hear how much time and care you put into this I’ll keep coming back every month this year
My favorite Octoprism song! Raina is my favorite Splatoon idle!
Bro this song is so good.,
Such a vibe
When your fav you tuber posts a video SEVEN MINUTES AGO
This song literally almost made me cry. This is so beautiful
This is just amazing! From your vocals to Sampling Kids work to the visuals this came together perfectly.
Brought me to tears! Your videos have really made me happier whilst waiting for Splatoon 3 :)
This song feels so nostalgic for some reason, I love it!!
This sounds like something that would actually be in the game. Great job!
This is very amazing and well done and the animation is very clean nice job I can't wait to hear Bo's solo ^^
You can feel the vibe from this song. It’s so great, I love it so much.
never thought a song would give me tingles
yet here i am
I love it!!! Such a great piece of art ❤️❤️❤️
this literally brought tears to my eyes just having it play in the background, it's so beautiful
Animation is beautiful and the character is beautiful! 😍 nice job koi!!
This reminds me of the aquarium world theme from sonic colours, oh the nostalgia.
I remember the first time I heard/ watched this. I was so calm and amazed by it, and I still am to this day. I love this song so much! Thank you Koi and Samps for making this! 💜
Man, her voice is so heavenly...⭐️
I get it now because the girl is sing in her head and looking at the people ohhh
The song was beautiful and the art playing in the background elevated the music, but seeing the lyrics come on screen and hearing the singing...I did have to wipe away the tears from my face during and after this song. This is the true heart of fanwork, and I am smitten with it 🥰 Thank you so much for this gift you've shared on UA-cam! 🙌❤
Your voice is heavenly. I know their is obviously like editing to make it splatoon but Oml it sounds heavenly I got listen to the tonight tonight part thing forever-
This song goes perfect of when I had a crush on this boy who was a player when I was little. And even tho I had them on my mind- i never liked them again
Siii!! Nada me aviva mas los tentáculos que una canción de octoprism!
I've been getting back into Splatoon again after not playing much for about a year, maybe even two years... and I'm being reminded of how much I love the series. It has some kind of magical vibe that means a lot to me I guess... anyway i just wanted to say this kinda got to me emotionally. After listening a few more times it's really beautiful.
This is amazing, Koi!! Her voice sounds so serene and calming, I love how she smiles when the chorus kicks in. I can’t wait for Bo’s solo!
Damn, this is very epic
Octoprism is very chill
Aesthetically pleasing
This is so beautiful, Koi! Really blessed to listen to!! You singing is wonderful!!
Fantasic job, Caitlin Koi and Sampling Kid!!!
if there was an octoprism story mode
this would be the credits theme
Bro I swear this song is like a mix of sweet and sad
Caitlin your voice is from the heavens
Im gonna pray someone from splatoon hears this and ask you guys to let them use these works of arts on splatoon 3
So after hearing the lore on your charecters during streams and watching P.O.P. turns out my little theory was a little wrong. So originally I thougth that, in this song, she was singing about her mother. When she says "I closed my eyes wanting you to hold me" I thought of when she was little and when her mother would hug her, and when she says "Do you remember your lullaby? You closed your eyes didn't see me cry" I thought of how she may remember the lullaby her mother sang her, you closed your eyes maybe referred to how her mother died or passed and closed her eyes in the process meaning her mother never saw her cry. But as you may know by now this song is about someone else so
ye :]
In my POV, i think Raina was in a relationship with Sei (i commented here about whether it is and it got a heart so thats probably a yes).
I have 2 scenarios on what happened next;
1. Raina was spending too much time with Bo to the point Sei got jealous.
2. Something happened to Raina (loss of a family member, etc.) and Sei didnt feel too much emotion about it, and Raina was currently in a phase which made her sensitive and starting an argument which ended up with them breaking up.
Either way, Sei and Raina used to date (hehehe Seina) and just before the concert that Raina’s talking about here they broke up.
Touch of color is my favorite idle solo, it’s so coooool
WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD TO ME
like this is amazing 💖
After just listening to Bo’s solo, it just goes to show how different the energy is between these to songs.
play running in the 90s after listening to this, it just fits so much with the lyric themes
Honestly the amount of effort that went into this and the colouring the vocals and singing it’s quite obvious at whole lot of effort went into this video it’s amazing overall great job kaitlin!
I wrote the lyrics in English, but I sang it in gibberish.
🎵 Lyrics (Octoling) 🎵

============================
🎵 Lyrics (English) 🎵
Do you remember
All the secrets you told me?
I closed my eyes
Wanting you to hold me
Do you remember
Your lullaby?
You closed your eyes
Didn't see me cry
It's time for the show
Wipe away the tears
Draw back the curtain
And hear the cheers
Oh how I'll feel
When they see that
I am real
Even though you're
On my mind
In this spotlight
I'm not singing for you
Oh how I'll dance
When I see them
Raise their hands
Even though I
Am alone
In this spotlight
I'm not dancing for you
Tonight 4x
Caitlin Koi Thank you very much now I can show this to my sister because she loves Raina
Sort of like Iron Butterfly's in a gadda da vida, which in English means in the garden of eden.
Lost my place Already xD
Caitlin Koi - in the vid it legit sounds like English either way-
I sang both the octoling lyrics and the English lyrics and I’m proud- (Also for the octoling one it’s my first time singing in a diff language and I’m happy)
