No Straight Roads is a $60 album that comes with a free game.
Yes.
$40
£15 if you know where to go. And I would totally agree.
This game is too good to purchase with money. Give your heart and soul to this one.
Smash ultimate’s a 60$ album with a fighting game as a free add-on

"Please take me sea-riously!"
"Water you doing?"
"Shell we dance?"
"In the name of love, I'll pun-ish you!" (also a Sailor Moon reference)
I agree, her song is VERY Fin-tastic!
No I don't wanna take her seriously
Im listening to her song
No don't punish me for listening to her song!!!
I just decided to "wave" at you.
People sometimes say, we have to "reef" what we sow.

“In the name of love, I’ll punish you!”
We should call her Sailor Pyuun.

I still can't believe this game was made by Malaysians. Like, I'm a Malaysian myself and I've lived long enough to know that we're not the best when it comes to entertainment
Yeah right we know that we not good at entertainment.we need to support this,this is the hidden gems we need
Same here and I'm proud of it yet they also did an awesome dub with the japanese dub of this game
Im not even Malaysian, but Im so proud of Malaysia.
I was hoping mexico would start the global entertainment revolution, but you know what?, I'm cool with this.

Look at the likes
the infuriating fact about this game is that so much effort was put into it, but it's highly underrated. like i barely see a single person talking about this game!!
I mean I’d probably attribute part of that to the fact that it decided to launch on the EGS instead of Steam. The EGS isn’t exactly mainstream for most people. And the reputation it has does it no favors.
Let's just wait a little, I'm sure that it'll nlow up

"Nooooooo what happened to my cute mermaid idol?"
It's like Sayu is the Disney princess that sings, and we're the animals just straight up vibing along to the music.
Come to think of it does Disney have a Japanese princess
Hmm
I'd love to see that, it's all the little forest critters like in a classic Disney Princess movie but they're all waving glow sticks and she's bumping up the intensity from a 9 to a 10...
But we're the animals
Maybe like the tale of urikohime would work just minus the gruesome parts
I think her problem with reality isn't that she knows she's not real, but that fact that she's supposed to entice certian emotions, mostly positive. Her persona of happiness and euphoria is the emotions that they want their fans to feel. Like a form of escapism, when listening to her, your supposed to feel all that happy and energy and forget about the bad in the world. To hit her with "reality" is to diminish her purpose for existing in the first place.
She's a dream brought to life.
Don’t say that word
@@rustydusty403 you mean real.....look at her. SHE'S NOT REEAAALLL
@@rustydusty403 You mean...the R word?
It isn't escapism when you use that happy energy to tackle your problems head-on, or to heal from your wounds. Everyone needs a pick-me-up every now and then, and this gives Sayu her purpose. This is what I believe.
The amount of ocean puns shoved into this song to keep to Sayu's mermaid theme is amazing.
They’re not puns they’re M E T A P H O R S

@@southernmercy5962 Yeah you're right
Remember that to Sayu get accepted to EDM, Tatiana had to hear this song and likes it. So its almost canon that Tatiana hears vocaloid music for liking
based
Tatiana is into Vtuber
I can't find any flaws in that logic.
I just want to point out that out of all the bosses SAYU is the only one who's gotten over 1 million views on her music alone. And for good reason too, her song unironically slaps in general and if she were a real vocaloid I'd listen to her nonstop. It's really funny because she charts at number 4 in the games music charts and in reality she's pretty much the fan-favorite of the games audience. Anywho I really hope this game gets some kind of sequel only so I can hear another track from SAYU
It's December 2020. DJSS is the second ever song to reach 1M views.
Personally, Sayu's theme is my favourite of all of them, followed by DJSS. I'm glad to see that many others agree.
So from what I can gather the IRL charts would go like:
1. SAYU
2. 1010
3. DJSS
4. Yinu
5. EvE (Only because her sound is deeply niche)
If I could remember correctly, this game was originally going to be a racing game with a little of shooting in the mix. SAYU was originally going to be a pop star. (I guess with out being called a "digital idol" she could be considered real lol) and DJ subatomic super nova (Hopefully I said his name right) he would wear pants instead of shorts
@Greta Wilson Idk, maybe that sounds like a great idea and they should. Because I think Sayu is one of the first to hit 1 million views. And there's like one video so far from what I seen was like a little meme compilation that lasts for maybe a minute. And my guess is she's maybe the most popular characters in nsr. To be honest, I like all of the characters in the game. To me they seem all likable. 👍
@@stevenaberle5645 They could still do, I would buy a game like diddy kong made in this universe.
I didn't think i could love this game more, but when she transformed for the fourth time...

When you thought it couldn't get better...
She can still get it
I'm a little sad. I just found out about this game. But I was spoiled for that, because the first trailer I saw was her fight... ;_;
The embodiment of the Upgrade meme
Sayu is actually, genuinely very adorable, it's a shame what happened to her though
I mean, compared to the other villains, she is still safe in that all it'd take is the kids who run her to remake her in her old image. Mayday even asked them to not turn her into what they did in the end again.
Yeah I mean, id have the hardest time attacking her, honestly
Maybe the kids will bring her back as an ally of Mayday and Zuke later on in the game? Electro-Rock perhaps?
@@Thagyr If you don't like me at my *_F I B S H E_* you don't deserve me at my best
@@alexanderpoirier3350 I can get behind that. Mayday and Zuke's sewer home has more rooms that I think were supposed to be unlocked as the game progressed. Maybe they'll show up in one of those rooms. What they would do, I have no clue.
Or, they could come back to help take down NSR.
If Splatoon had voice acting, this would be some Splatoon vibes
right?!
I thought I only thought that?!
Really? Good to know.
This one song has strong ABXY vibes, they're an electronica band in Splatoon led by a cute pink anenome girl who sings in a similar pitch to Sayu
Gee! Yeah! You're right, it looks like Splatoon Soundtrack vibes. XD

@@Romores200 I was going to give you more examples on people who has made games faster than Yanderedev without the use of patreon and blocking every person he deems a threat, and threatening to commit suicide if he doesn't get their way, being horny and making Yandere-chan underaged even thought it said they were all 18+, and buying another switch with development money for a new world in animal crossing, and buying a sex doll too but I realized that there were too many examples that even you are able to find a thing or two if you research enough.
Ròmores He could’ve had one.
@@BraveLilToasty holy fuck.
I feel like every boss in the game simultaneously deconstructs the good and bad of different parts of the music industry. Sayu shows the inherent flaws in vocaloid music of having a performer who isn’t real, but also demonstrates the talent, passion, and dedication behind each vocaloid with their art, music, movement, and editing.
What do you mean she's not real, she's as real as your love for each other!

Honestly, the EDpocalyspe doesn't sound too bad.

@@twilightprincess445 good one
Hah
It wouldn't be EDpocalipse if those in charge weren't such elitist assholes. Either or is such a boring mentality the villains and Mayday suffer (as I have seen in the videos so far). Honestly Zuke's way of thinking is best.
@@Amadeo790 Agreed.
The goal of BBJ is to get their pound of flesh for being singled out as the out genre, but it's also to bring back Kul Fyra's legacy.
Imagine being the artist, animator and motion puppet thing. You just hear your friend saying in a rhythmic yet monotone voice ‘Five, six, seven, eight. Cutesy-wutesy pink mermaid.’
She was probably having a mental breakdown at the time. Being the singer for S.A.Y.U, she may have been scared, and so sang aggressively to scare the two off.
Head canon, I like to think that sometimes Tila (The voice behind Sayu from the 4) sometimes either forgets that she is supposed to make a "cutesy" voice for sayu or accidently turns the filter off, example : I like to think Sayu's voice is supposed to sound like 1:47 but sometimes ends up like 1:57 which is more deeper and more strong emotion pulled. In other words, Tila is a better singer than we expected.
Makes sense. The 4 creators seem to be a well oiled machine until things get tense, where they start to panic. Makes sense that Tila would make a mistake at some point. I mean, all 4 were fighting! At the age of 15-16! That's a lot of pressure, and so mistakes would happen. Heck, we see as much.
Yes
is it just me or does Sayu has like two tones one sounds a bit more mature woman than she switches to like a higher pitch girl tone, maybe Im imagining things but if thats so thats so amazing.
0:40 - 1:25 is where you can hear it clearly
It’s Nikki Simmon’s voice, a lot of her songs have that feel
@@chewiegaming2512 Even so, it adds a nice character to the song and sayu as a character 🎶
If it’s one singer singing with “2” voices then it’s a sign of a “bad”/ underused voice/ an undertrained singer.The voice should be connected with an upper, mixed/middle/chest and a lower register. The voices ideally shouldn’t be disconnected from each other.
Not trying to put the singer down or insinuate they are “bad at singing” but a disconnected voice is sometimes a sign of improper technique usually from self teaching.
But then again it could just be the way the song was edited. I’m not familiar with the singer
@@stormyweather1392 If you ask me though that just makes it so much better. SAYU is a digital idol created by four young... I wanna say teens? According to one of the in game collectible's(the USB sticks, specifically number three) their names are Remi, Tila, Dodo, and Sofa. Tila, the girl in the hoodie at the bottom of the screen whenever the four behind SAYU are shown in the fight, is SAYU's voice actor and singer.
Since the vocals in this song are SAYU herself singing during the entire fight(in the game's universe, I know it's Nikki Simmons who did the actual vocals), then it stands to reason Tila was the one doing the singing. And while Tila apparently has an amazing singing voice, she's still rather young and potentially inexperienced. That disconnect you bring up? While it may not have been intentional, it can still be taken as just showing Tila's own inexperience, which if you ask me is really cool.
Edit: This is just my interpretation of the differing voice range during the song, for all I know the difference could have been intentional or for some other reason. Either way doesn't actually matter to me, Nikki still did an amazing job with the vocals.
Creators of music aren't evil, but victims to corporate greed.

I'm still obsessed with NSR
And how it never launched simply because they took the EPIC GAMES deal
...who tf really download a game from epic? Why not steam instantly. Also theres ZERO ads and I heard its reportedly filled with bugs.
Still an amazing malaysian games
The fact that this game wasn’t nominated as a candidate for best score and music in the 2020 game awards is ridiculous.

This song is actually why I started liking NSR
This song had already been in my Playlist for months before I even knew it was from a video game. I thought No Straight Roads was the name of the song and Sayu was the music group. And then I got recommended another song from the soundtrack and realized I was wrong and looked it up in the Playstation store three days ago and I already love it.
I fought DJ Drix in space, unplugged Hatsune Mizu, and last I played, I had just beat up a little girl's demon mom and smashed her dead father's piano after heckling her piano playing and making her cry, and I am beginning to think that Mayday and Zuke might not be the good guys anymore. And then I saw there were Christmas remixes of every boss fight that change not just the music, but also the arenas and set pieces and puts everyone in cute costumes, and I love it even more.

@@PixelDoodles also unique idea
There a lot of great indie games some are even better then those big titles
This game could be the best indie game and even the first indie game to be a big success this year.
My girlfriend plays several instruments, but her true passion is percussion. On the other hand I play both guitar and bass on a lower level, since I'm mostly self-taught. She's vivid, full of life, loves sports and being active, expressive, eccentric and impulsive. On the other hand I'm stoic, calm, rational and kind of a nerd, always taking baby steps but only letting go with her.
We recently started playing NSR on multiplayer mode and, without her ever playing or previously knowing about the game's characters, she chose May and I chose Zuke.
It's just funny to me how we instantly orbitted towards the characters that embodied our personalities better despite them playing the opposite instrument we play.

@@sir_cabbage1170 I see you are a man of culture as well. I like DKWest encounters too, but we enjoyed Sayu the most, despite it being terrible in multiplayer (the camera is absolutely awful in this stage).

For her phase 5 was all or nothing.

What I'm actually listening to: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! SWIMMING UNDERSEA PARADE! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! CUTESY-WUTESY PINK MERMAID!
lmao yeah this is the most different thing I listened too and still enjoy it
I listen to both 😂
Dude when she said that part i instantly thought of Fish hooks broo
Same
Since i learn about this game days ago and the soundtrack, i been hooked amost 24/7 to listen to DJSS, 1010 and Sayu's theme. Also there is a mix of 1010 with Sayu who sounds like someone archived perfection over perfection.
2:40
2 years later, and this Breakdown still sends a shiver down my spine.
yeee
the protagonists: we're here to show you what true rock is like!!!
me: uhh, could you keep it down, I'm trying to bop here.
Yep I got Sayu on repeat.
The barometer at the top of the screen: *→EDM!!!*
I was really surprised this boss was a character.
Vtuber have become very popular 2019-2020.
Now that I went down the vtuber rabbit hole, I have even more of a appreciation on this character design and music its trying to emulate.
Never gonna stop pressing the replay button for at least 3 months.
Oh yeah, I forgot that was becoming a thing! To me Sayu was always a jab towards vocaloids, given how an entire team of people is responsible for all the design choices... But a vocaloid's voice is fully synthesised, whereas here you have a live person providing the voice, so this part falls into the vtuber category more.
If you want something interesting : Every characters has something with the actual world... People deny others arts or genre ( all ), people change with power ( 1010 ), some think they are unique ( EVE ), some because a bad story will never give other a chance ( Tatiana and Rock ), and etc.... Look closely ...
@@nistarok123 Yeah, I did think this was taking a jab at Vocaloids and some vtubers, moreso Hatsune Miku and Kizuna AI. They're alot more on the "idol culture" side when compared to their contemporaries. There are many vocaloids though that exist almost exclusively just as their voicebanks and vtubers who have no connection to music, so really it's taking a jab at a very specific niche of virtualistic idols.
we can confidently say that she emulates both closely as both have some similarities I can point out from watching both
Vocaloid's voices are fully synced but there are instances when it can become hard to tell if it's computerized or not and also the girl who did her voice can signal to Vtubers but also her voice is noticeably modified
and other thing is that her design is modified and her actions can EITHER be controlled via body tracking or computer which it honestly can be both
but one thing I wanna point out that noone noticed is the scene where the crowd gets involved (idk if that happens for Vtubers) but that is definitely common in Vocaloid (Hatsune Miku) concerts
Sayu: "Everyone, ARE YOU READY?"
Fans: (loud chanting while waving glowsticks)
When I tell you that this game is an underated gem it is not an apinion, It's a FACT. The music, the voice acting, the diversity and the character are all amazing.
To be honest, I thought the voice acting was charming at best but a bit grating at worst. Still enjoyed the game a lot though!
Day 1: Eh, No Straight Roads doesn't look that good. I played brutal legends, wasn't impressed.
Day 31: [Preordered, waiting for merch] ONE TWO THREE FOUR MOTION ON THE OCEAN FLOOR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT DOUBLE BUBBLE SWIM SOME MORE

@@NikkiSimmons so true
Ba-bump! Ba-bump!

But there are many factors to consider so-
"Ariel! ARIEL!!! What did I say about these late night teen idol parties?!"
"But daddy. . . ."
We're already under the Disney spotlight, young lady
I mean, if you realize your singing in Kingdom Hearts was that shitty, there's nowhere to go but up.
Part of their World but all of her treasures are concert glowsticks
Thinking about the themes in this game, I think Sayu is the most important character in the sense that even though she's fake, she's also the most genuine. 1010 is literally manufactured, Eve doesn't know what she is and lives in a constant state of existential crisis, Yinu is controlled by an abusive mother, DJ SS is arrogant and not actually really that good. Even Tatiana seems to have been lying to herself about who she was in an attempt to correct her past mistakes. Sayu is the only unabashedly "real" character despite being a virtual avatar crafted by four weebs. Something about that rings true, tbh...
Yinu’s mom genuinely cares about her, she just went really overboard. I’d call her more overbearing than abusive.
@@aishutoon4553 I dunno, she seems enmeshed (official psychological enmeshment)
@@SyndicShadow yeah that was kind of the point, this was how Yinu bonded with her father before he died, so music to her is about the bonds with family, and the mother probably thinks that way to, which why she might get obsessive with her music
@@aishutoon4553 its the whole, parent forcing their kid to peruse something instead of letting them be themselves
Ok sure but how dare you say that Supernova isn't that good
"I'm too cute to fight!"
*proceeds to shoot lazers from a trident at you*
It's kinda odd how the game is like "EDM bad rock good" yet we're just here vibing to EDM
Edit: Fellas, I don't know why I need to point this out but this is a bloody joke, I've got enough replies going "aCkcHYuAlLy" already, rip my inbox
From what I've seen they're not saying EDM is bad, just that rock should still have a chance since EDM pretty much took over
It's more that NSR is bad and they trying to show that EDM isn't the only music
eh i argue its more like equality for all music and they are using rock as a base
its because the rock track hasnt been released yet probably when the game comes out they would release the rock version from start to finish ive een both version of edm and rock from sayu and DJSSN song and theyre fire , those riffs aint lyin
Wasn’t that somewhat the plot to Trolls: World Tour
Take me away 🌊✨
when you realize this is canonically the Girl voicing her's voice-
since she's technically speaking for Sayu.
So, that must've been fun to sing-
THIS GAME NEEDS TO BE MORE POPULAR ISTG I FOUND IT TWO YEARS AGO AND HAVE BEEN OBSESSED SINCE
SAMEEEE
It's funny because in the game the mix of EDM and Rock are my favorite parts.
I hope the main characters gain respect for there rivals and learn that there best work is when they're dancing with the enemy and rejecting the culture at the same time.
Respectful rebellion makes some awesome rock!
Calling it now. Tattiana the main bad is secretly their lost idol Fyra and in the end all of their defeated enemies team up with Mayday and Zuke to defeat Tattiana and remind her who she really is.
Hopefully with Rock costume versions of the characters. Imagine a Cutesy Punk Rock looking Sayu.
Comrade Adam My first thought when the lost idol was brought up.
Someone should really help DJ S.SN get back to.... wait, is this on earth?
Yeah boiiiii respect for the win!
And Punk Rock Sayu should be getting drawn. Make it happen, DeviantArt!
(I checked, it isn't happening at the time of this comment.)
If you notice they really never say the other genre is bad: tatiana just says rock is out of fashion and mayday at most calls edm "noise", they limit themselves to heightening their respective sound. they race, but never try to trip eachother.
This sounds fantastic, and the fact that you, Andy, Falk and Funk are all involved in this soundtrack is more than enough of a reason for me to check the game out. Awesome stuff man!!
Same for me!!!
Same it's so exciting!
I was looking for a game with music as a meaning full aspect and this delivered, I love Osu! and other rhythm games growing up like amplitude. This game will be awesome and this music is insanely fun.
You mean, FINtastic?
This one deserves respect.😎
I've never played the game, but this character and this song really speaks to me in a way that makes me feel happy for being me, I don't get that a lot.
It's such a good and fun game! I definitely want to recommend it! (also it's indie and very well made!)

Despite being described as "Bass and Drum", i really like that the music is evolving from Kawai pop/bass, to Future bass, until finally it goes full on J-electro/Cytus/James Landino.
Nikki Simmons actually was featured in a lot of Cytus songs! I’m not sure about other characters, but PAFF has a lot of songs featuring Nikki Simmons!
@@fi7010 Kind of hilarious when you consider that PAFF within Cytus II's story is a famous idol who performs primarily in virtual space.
@@fi7010 yeah i know, their songs are probably few of my most played in Cytus 2. Just below Brain Power.
I've never in my life hear someone calls drum and bass "bass and drum" lol, it sounds so wrong
Haha, Bass.
Fish joke.
This is what Floresta Blanca evolves into when you give it a Water Stone.

I can just imagine the 4 teens that make up sayu honestly having a pretty good time during this fight up until the reverse mermaid portion
The voice actor singing her heart out
The MoCap dude, busting it down
The animator finally getting to try out some of his more lofty ideas for their character
And the editor getting to flaunt his expertise
Imagine if Vocaloid got ahold of Nikki Simmons (for English vocals) and Ai Yamamoto (for Japanese vocals) and made Sayu into a new Vocaloid member? 😍🤩
That would make my life COMPLETE👽
I would unironicaly become a Vocaloid fan if this happened

I can't believe I missed it, good to see people still love this song as much as I do though 😭😭
Can't wait to play the game.
Yeah well get ready to wait even longer... :,(
It sucks that we gotta wait, but if it means that this game can get better that it already is shaping up to be. I can force myself to wait for a few more months.
@@chaotixrafael1 wait did it get delayed? i thought release was june 30

given her whole aesthetic...the "One, two, three, four" part reminds me of the Fish Hooks theme song.

(The Lyrics)
Undercurrents pull at your heart
Feeling so powerful it leads you on
The waves of emotion wash over me
But can you see the ocean through the reef?
Undercurrents drag at your heart
Feeling so powerful it leads you on
A new tide comes in and I'm washed away
Forces stronger than hate are left in the wake
Stronger than hate
Anchored through the tidal waves
Go on, take the bait
You can't fight the currents of love
Lifts you from the deep
Rescued when you're lost at sea
Only surge you'll ever need
You can't fight the currents of love
Stronger than hate
Anchored through the hurricane
Go on, no need to wait
You can't fight the currents of love
Lifts you from the brink
Rescued when you start to sink
Only dream you'll ever need
You can't fight the currents of love
One, two, three, four
Motion on the ocean floor
Five, six, seven, eight
Double bubble, swim some more

This game combines Psychonauts with Jet Grind Radio and It's something I never knew I needed in my life until I played it.
EDIT: The demo is free on EPIC if anyone else wants to experience this gem!
You that’s so true

@@derpfluidvariant0916 I want so bad. Double Fine would be insane (not the already artistic insane) not to colab or acquire SoldOut at some point. They are like PS! era Insomniac and Naughty Dog atm.
I thought the name of that game was Jet Set Radio? guess I've been wrong for a long time lol
@@SuccMunkey it was called jet grind radio in some markets. Parts of Europe I think.
I love the fact that this game makes fun of EDM industry.
Dj Subatomic Supernova: the typical DJ, his legs, his outfit
Sayu: vocaloids
Yinu and mother: mother thinks her child it's the best in the world.
There is a boysband too.
Nothing beats rock and roll though ;)
Sayu remembered me a LOT of the Splatoon Idol duos as well, which was probably mostly due to the under water theme
I think yinu was supposed to represent parents forcing their children into the music industry to make them live the dreams they had, that's why there's puppet imagery
SOULREAVER654 either that, or parents taking advantage of a kid’s nature talent for their own personal gains
I dont think its necessarily making fun of EDM. Just showing different elements of it. The good (a collective effort of multiple talented people) and bad (Yinu and her mom)
This is my comfort song now.
It was here I realized that maybe shattering the dreams of teenagers is something that the *bad* guys do

This slaps like crazy. What a vocal/instrumental pairing. Insta-classic as always; very very well done ^_^
You know a song is good when you're saying that about a song when have of the lyrics are fish and sea puns.
The duo is back!
I want to commend this extremely subtle ocean pun:
"Undercurrents, PELAGIC heart strings"
I just realized something in the vocals.
There's 2-3 different tones. One is higher
one is lower tone. Kinda like how Sayu is multiple people in game, it sounds like multiple people are singing the song.
I think one of the tones is actually supposed to be MayDay: ya know, she was really getting into the rhythm at one point, sooo x3
Imagine sayu and Maday singing a duet
Mayday: ROCK GOOD, EDM *BAD.*
The entire fanbase: Yo the EDM songs are really good
To be fair, in-universe Mayday has the wrong idea from the start. So it is intentional that the songs would be so good and polished.
Well the game IS about how all types of music have a place, its just when you industrialize it it loses meaning
True😂
y'all ALL be spittin' facts
Says is by far the literal manifestation of “Your Waifu is Real”
Why is stuff like this never on the radio, this slaps
Because the people who broadcast the radio show are old people who don't like things like that
@@burple6270 mainstream too, with the added fear of older gens of the new stiff from newer gens
The fandom kinda died on this way too fast this deserves to be revived
The classic duo returns. Watch this space, there is a chance that this song could be added into Cytus II in future updates.
This is the sound track in another game, so I don’t think it’s gonna be in Cytus II
Hero Mania Yeah, it’s Nikki Simmons
It took me a while to notice that the uploader was James Landino, now I feel dumb
