I'm kinda late to the party but HOLY FUCK this absolutely made me lose my shit the moment it started playing. Amiguchi requested her to sing and I was like "no it can't be" and then I was fucking smashing kaijus with the biggest smile on my face, almost teary eyed. What a masterpiece of a game. And then once it's just me and the boss...she's gone. We're reminded of the hopeless situation we're in. It's a beautiful song buff that transcends the 4th wall, this REALLY got me. Welp that being said I one shotted the poor boss guy with a Demolisher blade +5 with inhibitor released and a back attack, which did more than 20k damage. Nenji Ogata is my personal GOAT.
When I saw how little time had passed between this battle and the first one, my eyes almost popped out of my head when Miyuki said she’d be gone for 14 hours lol
The moment this started playing instead of a normal battle theme theme I lost my mind. The moment the song stopped and started playing a different song, I lost it again.
@@pollolor15 Oh I was thinking of the time when Amiguchi's TV suddenly turned itself on in the middle of the night. It gave a very eerie and spooky feeling back then.
It blows me away how a song that sounds this positive can still get my chest to tighten up. Absolutly incredible song for one of the best games ever made
One of the defining things about J-pop is actually making a sad, mellow sounding melody and combining it with an upbeat tempo and energy. If you just slow this down and ask the singer to sing it in a different way, think about how that would sound, and it'll make sense. Also of course the circumstances in the game is part of it too haha
Totally out of the blue, this became one of my favourite moments in video games. Up to that point, we hear electronic beats and synths that build a feeling of urgency and when "Seaside Vacation" kicks in we get 200% of anime feels. While I'm not a big anime fan, I do enjoy moments like in Gunbuster's (pre Evangelion Anno's anime) episode 5, where during a very important fight, where at stake is existence of humaniy "Top o Nerae (Aim for the top)" kicks in and pumps up the spectacle even more. These two moments are so similar to each other and instead of giving up the usual doom and gloom (cool sounding doom and gloom tho) we get optimism, a moment of carefree existence for main characters. Took me a lot of time to complete 13 Sentinels due to how the story is structured, but I am glad I did.
Does anyone know where you can find the version that you hear in the game? I just think that version sounds a little better, like the vocals hit harder in it imo. This version is still awesome, though. Idk, maybe it's the same, and I'm just hearing it differently here for some reason.
@@snake5936 Yeah, that could be why I'm hearing it differently. Although, the vocals just sound different on the track in this video, like they were recorded on a different take or something.
