Believe it or not, I actually had plans to post something else for today - to follow some sort of schedule, yknow? Put all my ducks in a row and let the posts release day by day. But then the SiIva team decided out of nowhere, just last night, to announce the formal return of the Christmas Comeback Crisis, the channel's main storyline, to be happening this month. To say that I'm excited would be the understatement of the century. And so I figured, it'd be best to celebrate with one of the many rips made specifically for the story - The Noble Haltmann.

Performed by friend to the blog and fellow Mel, Can of Nothing aka Mellorine, The Noble Haltmann is a cover of a song of the same name from Kirby: Planet Robobot - one that typically lacks vocals, yet was given lyrics in both the English and Japanese versions of the game, and "performed" through textboxes by Susie in both games. In the English version, however, the translation doesn't fit quite right with the song's actual progression - which is why The Noble Haltmann features redone lyrics done by the SiIvaGunner team, to fit the scene its in from the actual storyline better. The edits, paired with Mellorine's fantastic vocal performance, come together to form what's in my eyes the definitive version of the original song, even divorced from its place in the series' lore.
