Description
Bomb Rush Blush is a fast-paced and exuberant pop song with electronic and ska influences, mirroring Callie's energetic and playful personality. It can be assumed through the title and in-game dialogue that the song's lyrics are about Callie using aBomb Rush, although the actual lyrics are unintelligible. The song was first revealed on29 April 2016 during the second live Squid Sisters performance at Cho-Ongakusai 2016, alongsideMarie's solo song,Tide Goes Out. The following day, it was revealed that the new songs would be unlockable with the newly-revealedSquid Sisters amiibo figures,[1] which were released on8 July 2016. Scanning them inSplatoon allows the player to watch performances of Squid Sisters songs as if they were in aSplatfest, andBomb Rush Blush is exclusive to the Callie amiibo. During the performance, Marie simply sits down, while Callie performs her song solo.
InSplatoon 2,Bomb Rush Blush can be unlocked inSquid Beatz 2 as the final reward from the Callie amiibo. It has a maximum score of 96 and 178 in Normal and Hard modes, respectively. InSplatoon 3,Bomb Rush Blush can be played in thejukebox if the player has downloaded theSplatoon 3: Expansion Pass.
Lyrics
The booklet included withSplatoon Live in Makuhari -Shiokalive- gives the official lyrics forBomb Rush Blush. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanesehiragana simply gives the pronunciation.

DuringSplatoon 2's final mission, Callie briefly sings some translated lyrics. Although the lyrics are sensical, in Japanese, they are being translated from Octarian as Callie's singing is written exclusively in katakana. It is unknown which Inkling lyrics these lines correspond to. Additionally, not all languages have translated these lines as actual lyrics to a song, so the tables below list the closest equivalents.
The lyrics when fighting DJ Octavio and Callie for the first time are the latter:"♪Blushing faces covered in pink!♪ / ♪Rushing bombs, exploding ink!♪".
When rematching the level, the lyrics change to the following:"♪Faces blush, a rush of ink!♪ / ♪Bombs explode, no time to think!♪".
♪Blushing faces covered in pink!♪ / ♪Rushing bombs, exploding ink!♪

Remixes and covers
Bomb Rush Blush (DJ Octavio)
The song was rearranged inSplatoon 2 byRyo Nagamatsu, where it is credited toDJ Octavio with Callie as a featured artist. DuringSplatoon 2'sfinal battle (in which the subtitle of the mission is named after the song),Agent 4 arrives to meet a brainwashed Callie, who is revealed to be working with DJ Octavio, who brags about how he "remixed" Callie's brain, and in addition, her song. Together, they perform the song as they battle Agent 4, with Callie usingBomb Rushspecials with oversized goldSplat Bombs to coincide with the song. The song plays during the first two phases before it changes toTidal Rush for phase three.
This remix is a complete transformation, taking it almost 20 beats per minute faster with a new instrumental that barely resembles the original. Aside from the vocals (which were reused), the track consists exclusively of orchestral samples over a jarring drum and bass break. Most of the track steers clear of the original tonal center and reharmonizes the melody to sound dissonant and foreboding. Many of the symphonic samples used are recordings of complete phrases from a vintage sample library that are crudely spliced and looped, creating a mangled and artificial sound that suits Octavio's musical interest as a DJ.[3] It also incorporates the melody from theStory Mode: Onward! jingle heard after beating a mission, which has become theOctarian leitmotif. Near the middle of the song, record spin samples can be heard, reflecting Octavio's wasabi stalks scratching his turntables.
InSplatoon 3, the song can be heard in thejukebox as ofversion 7.0.0 if theSplatoon 3: Expansion Pass has been downloaded.
Tidal Rush
- See also:Tidal Rush
The songTidal Rush by DJ Octavio, featuring Callie vs. Marie, is a mashup ofBomb Rush Blush andMarie'sTide Goes Out in the same style as the aforementioned DJ Octavio remix, the main difference being the return to functional harmony and a more emotional and uplifting mood. The drum break and tempo remain consistent with the previous track to ensure a seamless transition in-game.
Bomb Rush Blush (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)
See also:Bomb Rush Blush
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, a new remix ofBomb Rush Blush was made. It has an electronic style, not too dissimilar from the DJ Octavio remix. It was arranged by Tomoya Ohtani of Sega[4] and utilizes theAmen break, a heavily sampled drum track that is frequently used in soundtracks ofSonic the Hedgehog series.
Blushing Tide

A new mashup ofBomb Rush Blush andTide Goes Out calledBlushing Tide was added toSplatoon 3, starting on day 2 of theGrand FestivalSplatfest event.
Samples and interpolations
Bomb Launcher jingle
InSplatoon 2, although the song is presumably about theBomb Rush which was removed in the game, a jingle playing the melody ofBomb Rush Blush can be heard whilst using theBomb Launcher. However, it is only noticeable inRecon mode and thetest range due to all the interfering noises in multiplayer battles.[5]
