CC's(Contingency Contracts) are basically exams for us to test how big brain we are. These themes are hype music, if you read the lyrics it tells us to "never give up" and to be " ignited by a burning desire"
One thing to know about these: with only maybe 1 or 2 exceptions, the CC lobby music just KEEPS GETTING BETTER with each one. My favorites are 6 and 11. Hope you react to the others but if not, listen to them on your own time cause they're excellent
TLDR for cc3, they found a guy to make the music, not knowing that the guy hates arknights, so he just copied it from someone and called it job done. it got deleted quickly after arknights team found out
The plagiarized CC song that they are talking about was the original song that was used for the trailer of CC Cinder (CC#3) - there are two of it (both were intended as battle BGM, not lobby BGMs, unlike what are being featured here). But don't worry, the songs here have no problem, if you got claimed, it's a false claim (I hope) because there's a company who is claiming these songs (they do not own the OSTs).
Well since you mention Made in Abyss, last year Kevin Penkin, the composer for Made in Abyss actualy composed a theme for one of the character, so if you happen to react to them it's the one call "Heal the World".
Yeah CC#2 Operation Blade is truly on fire as what the lyric says.. My brain on fire because the song pushing me to get the 25 Risk... and i got it... damn...
And no, the OSTs that are being featured here are all primarily lobby BGMs. But all trailers do use the lobby BGMs, except for CC Spectrum (CC#5) who uses their bat BGM.
CC8 Dawnseeker's battle theme gave me the motivation to push past risk 18 for the first time and it was so damn fun. Music really sets the vibe of the experience.
Sadly, there are no visual or sorts for these CC OSTs, the closest to one are their respective trailers, but I know that's not what you're looking for. There is one for Operation Pyrite (CC#1) that was performed during Ambience Synesthesia. As for lyrics, you can find one just from searching in TH-cam, but the official lyrics are shown in the official Monster Siren Records website for the OSTs.
So, Contingency Contract is, like the rest of the game, still tower defense, but there are a bunch of challenge, or risk tags you can mix and match to customize difficulty, like banning entire classes or giving key enemies increased damage and bulk, amongst many others. Please refer to @megusmith6258's comment for the lore In this sense, Blade's ost is the quintessential CC song because it is about downgrading your units and facing enemies who are metaphorically (and sometimes literally) on fire. Edited to tell you to refer to the person who knows the actual lore.
No, lore-game wise: Contingency Contract is a independent network not bound by politics founded by catastrope messengers to dealt with catastrope. organization or individual can request task on the network with appropriate reward. that's Contingency Contract. not some shady company- but a network. these messenger risk their life to bring the news of next catastrope that's going to happen in order to save million life. and CC blade has no metaphoric it's literally red [BLADE] avenger theme. story in "light spark in darkness" event did further proofing that "Art of Blade" is definitly red avenger theme
actually, if you want some visualization, especially for OP Pyrite, probably can look for the Ambience Synesthesia version now copyright, that I dunno. iirc the only video of Ambience Synesthesia in YT is not uploaded by Yostar or Hypergryph or something close
2 months late to the video here, but we literally just finished CC#10 Ashring on Global. If you haven't watched the "CC Lobby Theme be Like" at 5:35, I highly recommend you do. They are hilarious and perfectly fitting. And since it's prolly been brought up, CC#1 Pyrite and CC#8 Dawnseeker are my two favorites. It was just Pyrite at the top for a long time, until Dawnseeker got leaked for Global and the more I heard it, the more I loved it. It's still on my TH-cam Mix when I'm driving. After those two, my next favorites would be CC# 5 Spectrum and CC#7 Pine Soot. Spectrum was the techno fix I'd been missing in this game, and Pine Soot was me being glad they brought the rock back. Then my 3rd place entries would be CC#2 Blade and CC#9 Deepness. Deepness in particular was one that seriously grew on me during the event's run. The "Lobby Theme Be Like" section for it focuses on the rap portion which in my opinion isn't the highlight. Then there's kind of this middle ground for CC#0 Barrenlands, CC#4 Lead Seal, and CC#6 Wild Scales. CC#10 Ashring also prolly falls here. It's not bad to listen to, but I don't love it like higher entries. Then you might be surprised to know the CC Lobby exists even when there are no events running, and the "Off Season" Lobby has its own theme. It's at my #5 spot. And lastly, CC#3 Cinder sits at the bottom. The lobby theme gels well with the overall tone of Arknights itself, but the CC lobby themes are all more "energetic", so Cinder really kills the mood, so to speak. I am not a fan. And while CC#11 Fake Waves has been leaked to TH-cam, I still am not sure where it'll end up going on my list. The melody is sick, but the vocals kinda sway back and forth between being good and just kind of ok. I'll prolly like it more when I'm hearing it during the actual event, like Dawnseeker and Deepness; if I had to guess *now* , I'd put it in the #3 spot next to Blade and Deepness.
I think you'll really like the animation of Lee's Detective Agency miniseries trailer - Home service (also from arknights, it's on TH-cam) I recommend so much!
So the CC OST is the main hub theme for the event, meaning you picked your challenges and prepared for the stage while vibing to this music. These songs are used in the trailer, but they are not exactly trailer music. As for CC battle OST, I highly reccomend it. CC Spectrum's (CC#5) battle ost has one of my favorite tracks in the entire game, its amazing As for the songs, Operation Blade (CC#2 OST) was the main reason people realized the Arknights ost was so good. To this day, this song is probably the most well-known Arknights song. Anyway, as per tradition... YES I'M ON FIRE IGNITED BY A BURNING DESIRE CAN'T CONTAIN THIS EMBER THOUGH YOU TRY DESPITE ALL THIS TIME YOU TRY TO STOP ME I DEFY THERE'S NO BRINGING ME DOWN I AM THE ONE, I'LL BE BESTED BY NONE NOW WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE *THE DAY IS MINE*
Idk if it's possible (since Unreal Dreamer has done it), but you should try reacting to the first Arknights Concert (Ambience Synesteshia). It's free on bilibili. Honestly the best live concert ever, the production, the stage, were unreal. CC1 (pyrite) live performance was so good with live audience singing along. It's so good that even as niche as it is, it got nominated in Holywood Music Media awards for Visual Medium category.
@@SxmmyWasHere I see, thats pretty cool of them (the team) actually. But yeah, the concert was really great, you def should watch it wether you can/cant stream or record it. Also just a heads up, due to popular demand, the 2nd concert vod will be available on youtube on Jan 23rd.
The "drama" with the song ain't much of a drama but just a guy that was malicious. This 'producer' had openly hated Arknights and all related to HG in the past, everyone knew he was shitting on the game constantly, and suddenly he applied to make the OST of these CCs, which the people at Arknights actually agree (I guess they didn't check his background), he then proceeded to make a 'banger' but people started seeing BLATANT copy+pastes of an other trance producer and ultimately they saw that indeed the themes were TOO SIMILAR, not just an "inspiration" or ode, so they got the songs out and proceeded to make even better ones. The guy appareantly tried to actively make Arknights look bad - that's being just miserable. Also no, they can't claim these songs, don't worry - they're the event lobby themes btw, but these are incomplete versions. The last one had a moment with drums, piano, more voices in canon... etc. It's a pity!
Made in Abyss hits DIFFERENT, don't let the cutesy style fool you. CC3's theme threw me off, it was my first CC and my team was pretty weak so my rear was getting roasted to cinders so this music just compounded the emotional damage 😆
damn that's the dawnseeker song for me! It's so good but I can't stand the intro because it reminds me of dark ages (i wasn't even able to get 18 for the medal
@@lokes6604 Those were the light ages for me (CC3 was my dark ages as that was my first CC as a noob lol). I enjoyed CC8 enough to push past R18 for the first time to hit a comfy R22 lel.
Just search the CC full version ost Operation Pyrite Operation Blade Operation Cinder Operation Lead Seal Operation Spectrum Operation Wild Scale Operation Pine Soot Operation Dawnseeker Operation Deepness Operation Ashring Operation Fake Waves You can check on YT MSR-Topic
If you type in "cc blade" and "cc lead seal" you can find animations from a person called arknightsu. Great for the visuals you wanted but only for those two sadly.
Or just take a look at @harlequinwheels_vids shorts. Not canon (though they've done an official animation for one of the Anniversaries), but they're both adorable and hilarious.
There is no visuals but its imo the player rising to the challenge that is CC btw you nailed the cc3 theme on what its for with the menu thing. But basically all these are for that reason in a way imo.
Nice reaction, love to see you enjoy the CC themes tho. I you don't mind, also check these Lobby Theme memes post by Acol, I'm sure you gotta love it 🔥
To fill in the story regarding CC#3 Lobby Theme. This isn't totally accurate but if someone can validate with me it would be nice. So what actually heard here with CC#3 wasn't the original CC#3 Lobby Theme but was rushed out to replaced it due to a plagiarism (about 1 week to event release). I can't remember the detail but CC#3 Lobby Theme was made by a composer who hated Arknights and was planned to use this opportunity to sabotage the game and the HyperGryph. So the composer pretend to be a 'fan' of the game and want to compose a track for Arknights (Somehow it landed on CC#3) It was picked up by alot of Chinese players who felt something was just too familiar and when dug deeper and found out who made it as was having lots of hate to Arknights for some reason. The Chinese players notify HyperGryph in regards to the situation when the trailer was release thus was taken down immediately and now the replaced CC#3 Lobby Theme we have now, thus why CC#3 have the most underwhelming (in my opinion) and polar opposite both the Lobby Theme and the Battle Theme + Map Theme. Up till now the composer is still blacklisted by HyperGryph and hope it stays that way.
False. The song that was replaced--and was the source of the plagiarism issues--was the battle music. This was always going to be the lobby theme. Every time CC#3 shows up someone always spreads this misinformation.
I mean... if u wanted visuals u couldve just open up the trailers. These are in game ost. Theres no visuals to go with it other than staring at the main lobby.
Cc3 battles themes were plagiarized work by a dude who HG hired and apparently had a deep hatred for the game, he got in due to HG not doing proper background checks iirc
Goal for the rest of the CC Lobby Themes is 1,000 Likes! 🔥🐐
Let me know as well in the comments if you guys were interested in seeing me react to the CC Battle Themes as well!🥂

The yoyorock or whatever it's called thing? Are they still claiming even though they don't have the rights?
Well since you mention Made in Abyss, last year Kevin Penkin, the composer for Made in Abyss actualy composed a theme for one of the character, so if you happen to react to them it's the one call "Heal the World".
Kevin the goat
Currently the lobby theme for CC is 0 to 11 as CC#11 is the latest in CN
Yeah CC#2 Operation Blade is truly on fire as what the lyric says..
My brain on fire because the song pushing me to get the 25 Risk... and i got it... damn...

Operation Pyrite is a huge fan favorite for CC, and has a longer version of it definitely worth hearing.
We need RENEGADE, MANIFISTO, SPEED OF LIGHT, COME TO LIGHT, END OF ME, and LAST OF ME!!!!!!!
Half of those are copyrighted
PUSHING YOU UP!
Sadly, there are no visual or sorts for these CC OSTs, the closest to one are their respective trailers, but I know that's not what you're looking for. There is one for Operation Pyrite (CC#1) that was performed during Ambience Synesthesia.

CC's are all about the battles and music. Most intense of both.
The CC#1 OST you've listened to is the short version. There's a longer version on TH-cam.
You really should check out the EPs!
So, Contingency Contract is, like the rest of the game, still tower defense, but there are a bunch of challenge, or risk tags you can mix and match to customize difficulty, like banning entire classes or giving key enemies increased damage and bulk, amongst many others.

In this sense, Blade's ost is the quintessential CC song because it is about downgrading your units and facing enemies who are metaphorically (and sometimes literally) on fire.
Edited to tell you to refer to the person who knows the actual lore.
Is Ifrit putting them on fire?
Is it an avenger after reaching low health?
Is it an Skyfire putting them on fire?
Maybe its all of the above
No, lore-game wise: Contingency Contract is a independent network not bound by politics founded by catastrope messengers to dealt with catastrope. organization or individual can request task on the network with appropriate reward. that's Contingency Contract. not some shady company- but a network. these messenger risk their life to bring the news of next catastrope that's going to happen in order to save million life.

CC music is great, cuz it plays just before we enter PAIN. Also, new CN trailer dropped in case you might wanna react
There are CC songs with visualisers made by someone, but they're not grouped into a compilation.
I never noticed how much CC3 sounds like the Made in Abyss OST (which I love), thanks for pointing it out!
After listening to all CC.. U should try to listen to the Character music videos
If you want visuals, react to the arknights concert! Its got a live audience so you can see and feel the hype
8:42 my absolutely favourite
The plagiarized music was the epic trance music that was used for CC3's battle theme
Made in Abyss hits DIFFERENT, don't let the cutesy style fool you. CC3's theme threw me off, it was my first CC and my team was pretty weak so my rear was getting roasted to cinders so this music just compounded the emotional damage 😆

As headphones go, a pair of Beyerdynamics DT 770 is all you need
"I dont have any visual what to do"
Mean while me think the way to clear risk 18 with all my sanity slowly drain :")
Just search the CC full version ost
Operation Pyrite
Operation Blade
Operation Cinder
Operation Lead Seal
Operation Spectrum
Operation Wild Scale
Operation Pine Soot
Operation Dawnseeker
Operation Deepness
Operation Ashring
Operation Fake Waves
You can check on YT MSR-Topic
Spell check on dawnseeker
My bad sorry. Typo
Don't forgot CC#0 Barrenland
Reminder to all the AK player, today it's time for our seasonal suffering (CC#9).....
If you look under some on the compilations people tend to put the lyrics either in the comments or the description
You should try CC#3, the 2 removed version due to the license ( I kinda like these 2 version)
If you type in "cc blade" and "cc lead seal" you can find animations from a person called arknightsu. Great for the visuals you wanted but only for those two sadly.
Or just take a look at @harlequinwheels_vids shorts. Not canon (though they've done an official animation for one of the Anniversaries), but they're both adorable and hilarious.
the only video with visual behind is individual video for cc music not in compilation type of video unfortunately...
Try searching for the CC's WITH LYRICS
Cc#1 sound like ludens by bring me the horizon ngl
There is no visuals but its imo the player rising to the challenge that is CC btw you nailed the cc3 theme on what its for with the menu thing. But basically all these are for that reason in a way imo.
