• Comment: The original Famitsu source is purely in Japanese. Here is a roughly-translated excerpt from which each hook is derived, on page 3 of the interview:

[Lead musician Toru Minegishi]: The songs in the challenge stages of "Octo Expansion" are played by a female DJ named Dedf1sh, who is a sanitized Octoling ...
[Art director Seita Inoue]: It was originally set up as background music, so I wasn't planning on attaching a character to it, but I really love it. I think it's a really great soundtrack ...

• Date, size, spotchecks, QPQ (not needed), all GTG. However, I find ALT0 confusing (I read it several times and I don't follow it - perhaos some rewording would solve it? Could be I am just tired or not a native speaker, but I just don't get it, namely the part "he designed a character to be its in-universe creator"). ALT1 seems mildy interesting, but it's possible a revised hook based on ALT0 could draw more eyes (@TheBrickGraphic:). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:33, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
  • @Piotrus: Would this version read better? "ALT0: ... that a fictionalDJ inSplatoon 2: Octo Expansion was created because the game's art director liked its background music?"
