JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – All Star Battle R, Muda Muda Muda Muda !<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the fabulous world of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure<\/strong>! It’s hard to miss the many Jojo references that abound on the internet. Indeed, the work of Hirohiko Araki<\/strong> (first publication of the manga in 1987 and since then has been widely multiplied on other media) has been a great success in Japan, but also in the West. In addition, its popularity continues to grow, thanks in particular to the \u201cJoJo’s Pose<\/strong>\u201d published on social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already well established in popular culture, the manga arrives in video games this month with JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – All Star Battle R.<\/strong> This is a remaster of the fighting game released in 2013 on PlayStation 3.<\/strong> This one returns with tons of new features and improvements, but we’ll obviously be focusing on the music!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This reissue includes, with a few exceptions, the same tracklist of fifty songs<\/strong> from the 2013 game. Though there’s a little less music and some title changes. We weren’t able to find precise explanations for these choices. The soundtrack was composed by Chikayo Fukuda <\/strong>(.hack, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Totally Crazy Soundtrack<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The game’s music is completely original<\/strong> (it doesn’t include the anime). However, we find the same whimsical and frenetic tone. \u201cOpening\u201d, the first track of the songlist, offers us a rather dynamic jazz and lounge style. We’ll find this style throughout the soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a fighting game, the majority of the soundtrack consists of each cast character’s theme songs<\/strong>. \nFans will be able to recognize the specificities and personalities of the characters. However, overall it’s very largely dominated by a rock\/metal dynamic, often associated with dance and electro sounds for a totally crazy final result<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electric guitar on \u201cHow Feeble<\/strong>\u201d (sometimes reminiscent of the music from Dragon Ball FighterZ) throws us deep into rock. While other songs have nuances of other styles: Dubstep in \u201cKILL A\u201d<\/strong> or a more country atmosphere in \u201cCan’t Gate the Guy\u201d<\/strong>. We’ll end by specifying that JoJo is not a manga for nothing and the soundtrack of course has this classic touch of 90’s anime, very well placed for all fans of the genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we have some bad news! The soundtrack isn’t officially available yet!<\/strong> Or at the very least, it’s difficult to access. The game features a jukebox that allows you to listen to most in-game music after unlocking it. It’s also possible to obtain the soundtrack in digital format by purchasing the collector’s version of the game, but only in Japan<\/strong>. Fans are obviously scrambling to make the soundtrack available. We hope that an official edition will eventually see the light of day (please :)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Splatoon 3, Madness in Color!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Inklings in Action<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Composers: Toshiyuki Sudo, Shu Tamura, Toru Minegishi<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, I have to admit that Splatoon <\/strong>is a series that I know very little about. However, the few musical excerpts I’ve heard here and there caught my interest. So let’s take advantage of the release of this third opus to find out more! What a discovery! <\/strong>\nSplatoon <\/strong>is THE multiplayer shooter for Nintendo Switch<\/strong>. It has found its place in the brand’s rich catalog. Thanks to an \u201ceasy to learn, difficult to master\u201d gameplay<\/strong>, a perfect artistic direction, and rather unique music and sound atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music for Splatoon 3 was composed by Toru Minegishi<\/strong> (Splatoon 1 and 2, Super Mario Maker 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe\u2026), Shu Tamura<\/strong> (Animal Crossing: New Horizons, ARMS\u2026) and Toshiyuki Sudo <\/strong>(Nintendo Lab, Miitopia\u2026).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As their previous work suggests, the 3 musicians are part of Nintendo’s sound team. If we look closely at the game’s credits, we realize that they’re listed under \u201cSound\u201d with other members of the studio. An important note while thinking about the music, because the work on the game’s sound environment was definitely the work of a team.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experimentation and Mixing Genres<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first words that come to mind after listening could be: experimental, adrenaline and mixing genres<\/strong>. Indeed as a whole, the soundtrack is a pool of good ideas and experiments of all kinds. \n\nWhen we first launch the game, we start with a light guitar riff<\/strong>, plunging us into the desert zone of departure. This riff becomes more and more rock, until the end of the introduction and the opening towards multiple musical horizons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Splatoon<\/strong>‘s musical universe includes many hours of music and it’s very difficult to explain it all in these few lines. We will therefore highlight two main points about this soundtrack. FIrst, the multitude of genres<\/strong>. You’ll find Hip-Hop instrumentation, singing, electronic music, jazz\u2026 It includes a wide variety, and above all, it’s a pleasure for the ears<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next point is madness. Quite simply. The songs very often go a thousand miles an hour <\/strong>and we obviously feel the Japanese origin of the game in all the madness that emerges from the soundtrack! Which makes it an original and unique project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
