Description
Fresh Start is a slow and heartfelt song played during thecredits ofSplatoon 2. The verses and choruses alternate betweenCallie andMarie singing together and individually. After the first chorus, an instrumental break starts with the song's normal melody before quickly alternating between parts ofBomb Rush Blush andTide Goes Out (with elements of theCalamari Inkantation in the background). Callie and Marie eventually start singing the lines of their respective songs before joining together to sing each other's at the end. After this, a final bridge and chorus finish the song.
InSplatoon 3, the song can be heard in thejukebox as ofversion 7.0.0 if theSplatoon 3: Expansion Pass has been downloaded.

Other versions
Fresh Start (Live)
Duringlive Squid Sisters concerts, a slightly extended version ofFresh Start is used. Although each performance is different due to the live bands, they retain the same strong structure. The song is almost identical to its in-game version, but the intro is extended, first playing with no vocals beforeCallie andMarie appear on stage. A recording of this version from their first live concert can be found inOctotune.
Trivia
- In summer 2018, a contest for the Nintendo 3DS gameDaigasso! Band Brothers P was held to coincide with the release ofOctotune. Winners had their songs distributed in-game. Among the silver prize winners wasa version ofFresh Start with fan-made Japanese lyrics by Mio (ミオ). A staff member complimented the arrangement for sounding like the live version, as well as the Japanese lyrics sounding similar to the original.[3]
- A piano arrangement ofFresh Start was played at the start of the FifthSplatoon Koshien tournament finals.[4]
- One of the verses appears to be saying "Asatte Color," the Japanese title of the song.
