Nikke OSTs and where they appear: - I Feel So Alive (Cash Shop, makes you wanna spend real money) - Claymore (Event-only track for "Claymore") - Clarion Call (Event-only track for "Last Kingdom", plays only at the climax of the event story, is only unlocked as a collectible in the event map...for now) - The Harvester (Boss track for "Harvester", unlocked as a collectible in Hard Mode) - Stronghold Land Eater (Boss tracks for "Land Eater", is actually two separate tracks coinciding with two of its phases, unlocked as collectibles in Hard Mode) - EEEEEEEEEE-ntertainment (Main theme for Mustang) - Hold You Tight (Event-only track for "Red Ash", plays only at a pivotal part of the event story, is only unlocked as a collectible in the event map...for now) - Inferno of Nihilist/Burn It All (Boss tracks for "Nihilister", each track coincides with its phases, unlocked as collectibles in Hard Mode)

Important Lore note behind Crown. Crown was originally an Ark Nikke from one of the big three Corpo tasked with protecting Original Earth Resources during the Rapture war. It wasn't specified which squad she belonged to however it was mentioned I think in a flash back or Chime brought it up in a dialogue, that everyone assigned to guard the castle were all KIA by Raptures including the commander which broke her mentally to the point she shut down all of her body functions. I think the reason why she was given the "Pilgrim" designation is bc she failed to return back to the Ark or couldn't due to circumstances. Which is the latter. In a nut shell Nikkes that are classified as Pilgrims are Nikkes that either refused or failed to return to the Ark after a certain period. Bonus fact. No one in the Ark knows about the existence of her, the castle and the asset she was tasked to protect during the war with the raputres on the surface.

General info about OST: -The lead composer is Cosmograph. About 80% of get music is by him and features other artist sometimes. -Each new nikke gets their own little story event and its own music. The songs are usually based on themes of character or the event story. -Bigger events like anniversaries might have multiple songs. Red Ash event had like 5 songs with lyrics plus more with themes. -Boss themes are either just great bangers like The Harvester or have thematic relevance with lyrics like Nihilister.

Important note: Mustang canonically blasts his ost on speakers whenever you hear it in-game. Man is truly committed, best CEO

For the last ost Burn It All, the song is in the boss's perspective and is singing on how it will beat the living hell out of you lol. "Do you think you'll live today, or I can make you die in pain. You'll never see another day." And for the screamos they're saying "Don't try to run away from me, don't try to run away from me. Can you feel the fear no one saves you here, never let you see the light of heaven fall on you. Listen can you feel the fear no one saves you here, you can never run away from me."

The song "I feel so alive" is the updated cash shop theme song.

I cry like a baby everytime i listen to hold you tight. It means a lot to me x.x

Most of songs like Harvester or Land Eater are even more exciting when you play the boss fight or attempt to solo raid it gives so much fun to the run. The sound effects and voices complements very well to the background music.

Interesting perspective on The Harvester you had there ♡ You DID nail the desert like part at least as well as searching for something Context and spoiler warning: At a point in the story (around Chapter 11), you are looking for something to help out a very specific problem with the Nikke. At the end of the chapter, you and the groups of Nikke you have are ambused by a huge spider like Rapture called The Harvester. Some of its tendrils hit a few of the Nikke which is a problem. If they are attacked, they risk being corrupted which is more or less a death sentence While the lyrics probably dont have much significance, i personally believe they are somewhat from the perspective of one of the Nikke, Laplace, and the feeling of knowing your corruption & death clock have now started and you don't even know it The music in of itself is a Boss Fight Track which so far is my personal favorite rapture one

Since you asked at 33:50. Nihilister is both: Nikke and Rapture, classified as Heretic which is why you saw her humanoid form in the PV, but she is able to turn into her Dragon form to fight you which is where the song is played. Funnily enough she's one of the most difficult bosses in the game, oddly not because she does a bunch of damage, but because she's VERY durable and you constantly run out of time XD.

0:00 "I feel so alive" is the cash shop theme, which is evil because it's so addicting to listen to lol 5:10 The song is called 'Claymore" because the character featured in the video, and main focus of the event is named "Clay" I dont want to get too much into her story for spoilers, but she's very tenacious and she wants to win in a cheerleading competition hence the vibe of the song. 7:55 "Clarion Call" is one of my favorite recent themes. It's also the 1.5 Ani event, which helps, lol. I don't want to spoil much as it's a great event, but the idea is that the castle, the last kingdom, is under siege by a large group of Raptures and its about them fighting back agaisnt all odds, for the sake of the Kingdom and its inhabitants. 11:15 "The Harvester" is one of the many bosses you fight against in the game, and a lot of them have amazing themes, this being one of my favorites. 13:47 "Stronghold Land Eater" is another one of the bosses you fight against. Another banger theme, and as you'll eventually notice, some of the boss themes have different phases, sometimes like Land Eater, the themes will be consitent, Phase 2 usually upping the intensity. While others, the song changes pretty dramatically. 22:51 "EEEEEEEEEE-ntertainment" the King himself, Mustang's theme. Everyone loves him. every time he's on screen, he's a blast to see. He's also the CEO of Tetra Line, one of the main three Company's. Overall, a great and fun character, and my personal favorite CEO and likely the communities' favorite as a whole. 25:25: Oh man. "Hold you tight." One of my favorite songs in the game period. It's such an emotional song, especially with context. It's also part of the "Red Ash" event, which was the first anniversary and featured "Red Hood" the first Anniversary Pilgrim character and a Member of "Goddess Squad". The event as a whole has so many amazing songs. While im writing this list as I watch, I have no doubt there will be more songs from the event. To add to the thing you mentioned at the end, im unsure if Every Nikke will get their own "Theme" persay, but every event has its own song, and events usually focus on a singular Nikke (Like Claymore) or a small group so it can seem like every character gets their own theme. THAT BEING SAID. Red Hood is a special case. She got a lot of songs focused on her as again, she was built up a lot in the story as well as being the First Anniversary unit. And since she won the popularity poll, i believe she's also going to get ANOTHER theme made for her, on top of the others she already has. 29:18 "Inferno of Nihilister" I'll break this down into two as I feel the songs are different enough to warrent it. Phase 1 of the "Nihilster" boss fight. There's not too much to comment here. it's a pretty oppresive theme that grabs your attention as when she's on the field, you need to focus on her. Otherwise, you're going to get burned. And without going too much into details, yes, i said "Her" as you mentioned, its possible for Nikke's to become "corrupted" and in which they turn into "Heratics." Of which, Nihilister is one of them. 34:53 "Burn it All" I much prefer this theme over her first song, but that's just because of personal music taste, lol. But the lyrics pretty much tell you how ferocious she is and how no matter how you fight, how you run, how you hide, you'll burn and die in pain all the same. Whew, guess that's all for the first part, huh? Guess I was wrong about seeing other Red Ash songs in this part, but that's fine. There will be more, lol.

The Clarion Call is actually performed by an orchestra. They showed snippets during the anniversary stream showing it.

28:57 what happened to red hood was basically the beginning of the end for the goddess squad.

For Hold You Tight: Red Hood was corrupted but she was holding out and fighting it off. Her and Snow White from back then were really close after all those fights and stuff they went through. At one point she just walks off without saying goodbye or letting Snow White or any of the other Goddess Squad say Good Bye or at least try to. Eventually she does come back to fight Cinderella. Then they actually their final goodbyes in.

"I feel so alive" is actually the cash shop theme, lol. I won't say anything as to the context of "clarion call" as the event will most likely be added to the archives with the release of the 2nd anniversary event in two months. "Claymore" is an odd one without context in that it's both about the nikke in the picture and the event itself. Clay (the nikke featured) was once sold off to an underground fighting arena and kept losing, and instead found her calling in cheering on others to victory. Also fun fact: Mustang canonically plays his theme music whenever he appears in public

The Harvester is a drum and bass genre. I really like that song. There are many different genres of music in Nikke ost. From Metal, Punk, Citypop, Eurobeat, DnB, Dubstep, Rave etc...

Pilgrims also have their very own OST, Just type in "The Pilgrims"...and the song fits them very well... One of the Pilgrim nikke quote "We are but Pilgrims, wandering the frozen lands, searching for a glimmer of hope"

Nikke's sountrack varies a lot. From pop to hip-hop to metal and some of the songs are confusing without the context like Claymore (Hint: the cheerleader's name is Clay). Other songs are pretty straighforward: "I Feel So Alive" is the cash shop theme and The Haverster is the name of the boss. Also, a lot of the events are archived like Red Ash so you can play through it anytime to get context on the "Hold You Tight" song. I'm really looking forward to seeing you play the game!

I'm glad you enjoyed the songs!! I was debating on organizing them by genres, but since I wasn't gonna be using all of them, I wanted instead to emphasize just how diverse the soundtrack can get sometimes haha For a bit more of context, Claymore is also referring to the Cheerleader girl's name, since it's an event about her. Many Nikke squads hold a shared theme for the names they're given and, for some reason, the Cheerleaders are named after blades (Clay(more) and Bay(yonetta))

I feel so alive is a shop music hahaha I like how you overcooking the Harvester one, Harvester is a name for a boss that was on screen, nothing more i'm exiting for part 2!

Hold Me Tight and really Red Ash/Red Hood (the character) is one of the game's most tragic stories and characters. That picture at the end is the last time any of them ever genuinely smiled, and it makes Anderson, a character I initially was suspect of, a far more sympathetic person. It explains a lot why he cares about the Nikkes.

You have no idea how excited I am for your nikke stream. I wish you luck on your pulls. Also when you play it what language will you set the voices to? I play with japanese voices.

Most of the songs were for events so they recall that's happening so I think it's normal you don't know since you don't have context ! Claymore for example is a song about a group of cheerleader that have to overcome what's thrown at their faces

Fav ost from nikke is THE REDHOOD

Fun fact in japanese Mustang is voiced by the one and only DIO VOICE ACTOR

I'm looking forward to the stream on August 30th!

Absolute maker and the red ash main theme are my top 2 recommendations! :D

22:43 TETRA's CEO Theme song. In JP Mustang's VA is "Takehito Koyasu" also known as the VA of "DIO" from Jojo's Bizzare Adventure. Super Entertaining and the best CEO out of the three.

oh, I really like how you pay attention to the little detail or try to break down the music itself. I know it's hard to react to OST, but you did a great job and provide added value to such reactionary content!

21:33 yes it feels close because in the boss fight the boss actually starts walking towards you

First song you listened to is the "WE MAXING OUT OUR CREDIT CARDS 🗣🔥🗣🔥" song as its for the gem shop in the game lol

When I listen to The harverster by Cosmograph . I think of Watercolour by Pendulum.

Definitely a good thing ShiftUp is doing is making the past events available in the form of “archive”. Pretty much, in order to access them (from what I know) is to play the event that’s going on to get the currency to open up the archive. It makes it so that even if someone is coming into the game that’s brand new, they can still catch up with everyone’s world building cause of that access. Listening to ya hear the songs and figure out things as someone who knows what everything is about makes me excited for ya to get answers about what the different songs are about. Definitely recommend seeing what events are in order though as a decent number of the events that have happened recently, or you can find in the archive, actually reference events even further back. Another thing to note is that there is close to 30 chapters (I think? We might be over that now) but ShiftUp has said we’re still in the game prologue after all this time.

Glad you reacted to the NIKKE OST, though I gotta say, going from ENTERTAINMENT! to Hold You Tight is a whiplash. I FEEL SO ALIVE! is the cash shop theme. Claymore is the theme for the eponymous event, celebrating the release of Clay. The Clarion Call sounding very regal and knightly is fitting: Crown is literally holed up in a castle on the surface, styling herself as King. This is a power move, since the surface belongs to the Raptures. The Harvester and Stronghold Land Eater are both boss themes. There's a lot of electro/dubstep/EDM because Raptures are mostly mechanical. EEEEEEntertaiment is Mustang's theme, which he actually plays in-universe. He's been CEO for nearly 100 years and no one has moved his disco ball-wearing ass. He has every right to be confident. Hold You Tight is very melancmolic because it's effectively the theme of someone dying of a terminal illness who distances themselves from their loved ones with good intentions, but only makes things worse. Inferno of Nihilist and Burn It All are for Nihilister, AKA the Flame Dragon. Manic and wild as fitting for someone closer to a rabid animal than any sapient being.

What has been nice is that if you start playing late, the events are slowly being added into the archive so you'll be able to not only unlock the music again but to experience the event for yourself. Since you mentioned that you really like Clarion Call, The Last Kingdom event (where it comes from) hasn't been added yet, but should be returning soon, though I would recommend reading the stories up to Chapter 13 first. Red Ash and Overzone are also fan favorites and are currently available and are the basically the prequel stories to the main campaign and have some of the BEST music in the entire game. I'm glad you listened to Harvester, it's one of my favorite tracks and you get to hear it a couple of times since it's a medium difficulty boss fight (Not too hard, not too easy and shows up at the right difficulty spike moment) I hope you get to enjoy the game yourself at your own pace soon!

This game's ost goes so unimaginably hard, and you've only scratched the surface. A few recommendations I gotta give are the themes "We're Never Giving Up" and "Daybreak." Been playing this game for about 3 and a half months and was genuinely surprised by both the writing quality and the soundtrack quality. Glad to see more people show interest in this game as well

The most recent ost to the latest boss is one of the best. Also there were some songs covered by Vshojo members. Their rendition is also top notch

Hey Ririna, it's me again to give you some more context again. The list isn't chronological at all, so don't let it influence where composition trends go (Claymore is the most recent on that list for context). While the soundtrack has general themes, each with their own evolutions, a large chunk is tailored to characters or settings so it's not rare to have very personal themes. -I Feel So Alive is the new cash shop track. It used to be the same as the in-game-currency shops, but they made a new one a few months ago to distinguish the two (might have been around the 1.5 anniversary, I'm not sure anymore). -Claymore, from the CLAY.MORE! event, is a play/reference to the event's main featured character Clay (the cheerleader in the video). Both of the cheerleaders have part of a weapon type as their name, Clay as a claymore, and Bay as in bayonet. Without going into the event story spoilers, Clay is cheering for someone to be champion for a mix of reasons. -Clarion Call is more or less the overall leading score of The Lost Kingdom 1.5 anniversary event. It heavily features Crown, reigning King of The Lost Kingdom, and leader of the White Knights squad. They are really into the regality of royal stature and guard something very important. -The Harvester is the chapter 11 boss, and is featured semi-regularly in Union Raids (not sure about Co-op, don't think it's been in Solo Raid yet either). Harvester is a code name, some of them seem to be designated from squads that survived, and some are actual names like an earlier target. The size is to refer on the fact it's a toweringly huge arachnoid rapture. -Stronghold Land Eater is basically the same context, but for chapter 5, it has returned in Union Raid and Co-op a few times. Aside from an earlier EX mission, I believe Land Eater is the first canonical boss that transforms to a different phase and altered moveset. You're literally fighting a fortress. -EEEEEEEEEE-ntertainment! Aka Mustang's theme is actually a diegetic thing. He regularly blasts it through his bedazzled glowing speaker that follows him everywhere cuz he's just that much of a flamboyant showman. Though if you like him now, you'll love how layered he can be. Definitely the most developed CEO we have (which frankly kind of makes sense, Tetra Line has the biggest amount of named Nikkes). -Hold You Tight is, unofficially, a 2nd character theme song for Red Hood. It definitely is at her lowest and most regretful point during Red Ash (the first anniversary event). The lyrics are fairly self-explanatory, though you get the full context of her prior and following decisions as you go through the event. -Inferno Of Nihilist/Burn It All are Nihilister's theme, the chapter 20 boss. She's VERY aggressive so you know, dubstep and metal fit. How do you escalate from a fire breathing dragon? How about a twin headed fire dragon? Classic. She is one of the more prominent boss (when you compare her to Land Eater or Harvester, for example).

it's crazy K isn't playable yet it's been 2 years 😔 thanks for reminding me

I must admit i did smile when Ririna was trying to read deeper meaning in to the shop tune 😄

2 of my fav song that give me onion each time its play. "Hold you tight" (feat : AKA) & "Camellia" from Cosmograph.

I Fell Alive is theme song of Cash Shop so yes you fell alive when you go shopping I guess LOL. About archive event stage over zone and red ash is a much play for both lore and how fun it is, and for impact and no spoilers play normal chapter to around chapter 10 for context and character then Over Zone before Red Ash

Dunno if it's on your list already, but some new additions to the soundtrack, Afterglow and Metal Strike, are personal suggestions. I'd also strongly recommend three instrumental tracks from the combat BGM of the game. Namely, Bulletstorm, Rapture Storm and Dust Rider.

If you end up sticking with Nikke, the first event you should unlock in the archives is Red Ash, and the second one to unlock is Over Zone. Both of them are peerless.

Awesome that Dilemma is up next. Loved the reaction. If I could recommend some other songs they would be "Kill The Lord" on the Nikke youtube channel. Then on the Cosmograph ( one of the main composers of the game ) channel I'd recommend "A.C.P.U.! Freeze!", Crystal Chamber Boss - "We're Never Giving Up", "Dirty Backyard", and "Bass Bomb".

I'm so glad you've got the Mirror Container boss song on the playlist. IMO, it's Cosmograph's best song to date.

Im glad you liked the songs, this game has a really good amount of them, cant wait to the livestream. 😊

Nikke OSTs are Bangers! Baaaannngeeeerrrssss!! 🔥🔥👏👏

Gdi. I hadnt seen hold you tight before. Despite the lyrics being a little scuffed, it made me cry when that last pic showed up. Guuuuuh

Yippee new riri video :D

Some of the songs like burn it all actually has lyrics you just have to turn closed captions on. Hold you tight is one of my personal favorite after the event it makes me tear up every time i listen to it. Also at 5:34 reminded me theres a vtuber named Shabel Tonya who made 2 songs for the game.

with red ash, all the music in that event is a total banger. With nikke if you see any kind of boss in the video high chance are the title of the music is the boss name.

All the ost's are a vibe that you could go around listening but hopefully you will like Nikke 😄 and this is just the beginning more banger songs upcoming

Hellou! It's nice to see that there's another victim- er, soon-to-be player for NIKKE, especially if they react to media from this wonderful game and try to interpret it in their own way Also I really like your model, it's the first time I've seen a model have active hands like yours (I only know 4 vtubers, lol). I'm looking forward to your stream!

Hope you check out for more music this game offer After world, ONE MORE TIME!, Living Land, Neverland, Over Zone, and Folk Tale all the album i've mentioned is filled with great soundtrack Hope you enjoy the other genre this game offers like the metal ones like Slaughterer, The clue and The challenger. Oh and my favorite one that people barely talks about is Tempest the background fits about a nikke that tries to be a hero sounds similar like the score Hans Zimmer - Flight in Man of Steel movies when Superman learns how to fly for the first time

Prologue is chapter 0 - the first song is from the cash shop, so yeah we getting started on the spending LOL.

32:12 I believe the word you were looking for here was synthesiser, meaning an electronic based instrument. 33:28 Regarding your question here, I can't give a complete answer without it being a story spoiler, so I will mark out a section below if you're curious enough for an explanation. That said, I'm happy you're enjoying this game's music! I'm hoping I'll be able to tune into your first NIKKE stream come the 30th, if not then I'll absolutely check out the vod! ❤️ [STORY SPOILERS BELOW] To answer your question, a small handful of the bosses in the game are technically nikkes, but they have been converted to the side of raptures. As a result of this conversion, they have gained the ability to transform into a giant rapture form. It's their transformed forms that the boss fights are based on.

Boss and event songs are amazing, don't get me wrong. But when it comes to having a true realization to how hardcore the campaign and how heavy the settings are? You'll have to listen to the chapter music. Most of them have 2 or 3 phases that get more intense over time. My suggestion is to listen to Recognition, Peripeteia and Below Zero. Those three hit hard and have a huge impact on the sense of urgency during the campaign. Other music that hits extremely hard are from the OverZone event. Promise, Fall and Lilith. These three may not have phases, but they are extremely telling of what is happening just on the tone they set as a whole.

Eeeeeeeeeentertaiment!!!!!!

Mustang is very "fashionable", but he can be cool and serious when situation calls for it. Very much the type of person who can flip an 180 attitude wise in an instant and you really don't want to be on his opposite side.

The hard part of doing a favorite playlist of the Nikke music is I end up placing all of them! xD (well not all of them but the list is a +25 songs xD)

You can still play Red Ash on the archive. Red Hood... The Goddess squad as a whole story is so tragic they get their own songs.

I guess I’ll be here again but I guess I can name off all the characters that are in each sound track I guess also because I’m bored so we got Shifty non playable part of central government, Clay member of squad rewind, Crown pilgrim part of squad white knight, Modernia: second affection skin for character apart of squad heretics, Kilo/Talos kilo is the small girl inside the robot Talos is the robot apart of squad Heavy gram, harvester doesn’t have any NIKKE on it but I guess I will count the actual Harvester as the character since it’s a boss, I forgot the name of the next boss in land eater but ya it’s another boss, obviously Mustang is the star of EEEEEEEEE-ntertainment as always, Red Ash was an event that you can access from the archive in the outpost but ya main NIKKE is Red Hood pilgrim part of defunct Goddess squad, ok bit spoilers but that is a boss but is also a NIKKE named Nihilister apart of the heretics but shhhhhhhh I never said this, license to kill shows two and I’ll name two we have D and K I’m not joking those are there names D is playable but K isn’t yet and god damn this is long god..dess of victory NIKKE ok I’m done now hope you don’t get bored bye

If you are really playing Nikke true f2p it will take u like 4-5 months to brake the 160 wall for me and the plot is insane good after chapter 10 *i was loking for Boobs and stayed for the plot 😂

Fun fact we are still in prologue confirmed by devs 32 chapters in...also enjoy the story

Just wait till you get to the song "The Redhood" OMG it's gotta be one of the best songs Nikke has ever produced 😭😆😆😆😆😆

Pog 🎶🎵🎶🎵

"We Feel Alive" is the cash shop theme. Yep. Gacha gamers feeling alive when we be swipin' Pilgrims are Nikkes that don't belong to the 3 big factions of Ark of Elysion, Missilis or Tetra, and they tend to be found wandering the surface. Guess that's the best I can put it without spoilers. "Hold Me Tight" absolutely crushed me when it played during the event. It works so well with the context of the story. Hope you'll enjoy it too.

Major characters to the events tend to get their own theme songs or Nikke who win player polls that's why you get fans youtubers like Export/Error who makes their own because frankly so many fantastic characters in Nikke that should get their own but don't..... or at least have not got official ones yet.

Fun fact about clay, the cheerleader in claymore: when she plays rhythm games, she plays better with earplugs and she couldn't hear the song

if you ever do the Archive stories ill suggest this order to play on its up to you if you want to do the other one first or not (Red Ash) then (Over Zone) Edit: Ill give you another one try the ost of |Beautiful Shot Event (2nd summer event) | its good

cool reaction, 100% need to react to Red Ash too banger song

the game is good writing also

im not suprised if the songs good because most of the artist are very popular in another games especially rhythm games like seibin,cosmograph etc

Told you the osts are a banger! haha I hope one day cosmograph makes a hit that matches the hype of narwhal from punishing gray raven. 😄🍻😆 also 20:56 your reaction was priceless 😂😂

"Send me music that you like-" Wait, really? "-From Nikke." Ah, that's a much safer option. I've probably too much video game music that I feel is worth a listen.

I still cant believe that my guy Dio in JP VA are the doing VA for mustang XD EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTERTAINMENTOOOOOOOOOOO

5:22 Maybe EDM? A lot of the music seems to have some EDM elements to them

Can anyone tell me what music is used in the beginning?!

Heratics are corrupted Nikkes. How the corruption works is something confusing.

10:20 yes these are pilgrim nikkes...And thats all you gonna get from me lol its a spoiler XD

Would be nice if you play game with English voicees because of unnecessary reading,when non players watch it they just leave because of need for pause every SECUNDE and read and also English voice actors are remarkable in this game and they deserve it just as much as JP
