THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS FAN SONG: (e1, d8) - ft. Asterian & Solaria
"Oho, what's this? We've had many guests come and go before, but this is the first time we've seen two new guests appear at the exact same time! The more the merrier, I say!"
-------------
This song's basically an origin story of Kinger and Queenie: How the two fell in love, how and why Queenie abstracted, and how Kinger's dealing with it all.

FINALLY I'm done with this song, and forget the meat bun song: THIS is my magnum opus! Surprisingly both this song and its music video took a lot less time that I thought it'd take, but that's only a good thing. It's funny how I got an idea for an Amazing Digital Circus fan song and then everyone else I know also wanted to make a fan song lol. The more the merrier, just like that lore quote above.
--------
When it comes to making a Digital Circus song, you really gotta make it SOUND like it's from the digital circus, so I used soundfonts from old videogames: specifically Mario Paint, Earthbound, and Mother 3! I was also heavily inspired by Paper Mario for the whole visual aesthetic of the music video. Thousand year door already uses a stage as its battle location, so it only makes sense to have that be the aesthetic for a very theatrical musical-styled song
--------
At first I thought the lyrics for this weren't good, but when listening to it multiple times, I think they're well made. The song's supposed to be like a musical number, so the lyrics have to both serve as lyrics AND dialogue. I love how much I was able to cram in story-wise (and using musical composition/lyric-writing tricks to convey certain things). I really hope you notice all the cool things I did with this song!
