"Tide Goes Out" (スミソアエの夜 Sumisoae no Yoru?, lit. Night Dressed with Vinegar and Miso) is a song in Splatoon and Splatoon 2, sung by Marie as her team's theme song in the final Splatfest. A shorter version, Low Tide, is the first song you hear when entering Octo Canyon for the first time.
Description[]
Tide Goes Out is a slow, serene song, mirroring Marie's laid-back and relaxed personality. The song was first revealed on 29 April 2016 during the second live Squid Sisters performance at Cho-Ongakusai 2016, alongside Callie's solo song, Bomb Rush Blush. The following day, it was revealed that the new songs would be unlockable with the newly-revealed Callie and Marie amiibo figures., which were released on 8 July 2016. Scanning them allows the player to watch performances of Squid Sisters songs as if they were in a Splatfest, and Tide Goes Out is exclusive to the Marie amiibo. During the performance, Callie simply sits down, while Marie performs her song solo.
In Splatoon 2, Tide Goes Out can be unlocked to listen in Squid Beatz 2 from the Marie amiibo. The original song however cannot be heard anywhere else in the base game.
Lyrics[]
The booklet included with Splatoon Live in Makuhari gives the official lyrics for Tide Goes Out. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanese hiragana simply gives the pronunciation.
