In advance of the Grand Festival, Splatoon 3 has released the new idol song entitled Three Wishes. Like some recent Splatoon 3 songs, this one features lyrical translations, with the three idol groups singing about the themes that their teams are carrying: Past, Present, and Future.

Off the Hook sing about their relationship and seizing the day, while Deep Cut highlight the bond between the three of them and how they”re working to shape the future.
Now or Never Seven”s Song Finally Revealed
While Nintendo hasn”t explicitly stated where this song will be utilized during the game, it”s most likely the song that will be used in the lobby during the last day of the event, where the three idol groups are going to be performing on-stage together. The prior trailer gave a hint of what it would be like, showing the groups in their new outfits and performing onstage both separately and together amid a huge crowd of onlookers.
This song team-up was teased in a recent “interview” with the Splatoon idols published by Nintendo, which had the groups deciding to form a collab under the name Now or Never Seven. The name was chosen since all three groups have had their own variations of the Now or Never song that plays during the last moments of turf war battles. The combination is pretty exciting, not only for putting their musical styles together, but for long-time fans of the series who are happy to see the Squid Sisters and Off the Hook get some time in the limelight again.Close
There”s a lot riding on this Splatfest, so fans are encouraged to join in. It remains to be seen how Past, Present, and Future will potentially impact the series. Marie”s win in Splatoon”s final Splatfest led to her having the main role in the Splatoon 2 Story Mode, while Chaos winning in Splatoon 2 led to Splatsville and the Side Order DLC. Only time will tell what waits ahead in the rumored Splatoon 4.
