Omg??? That's a collab I wouldn't have expected in a million years!

I wonder if Sam was also a fan of "Easy Breezy" and Exodus like bb queer me in the 2000s. 👀

devil inside <3 i bought it day one!

My bestie is also my medical massage therapist, and I introduced her to Exodus via her Echo speaker during my last massage. She really liked it, but could not stop laughing during Easy Breezy.

I mean, I do it too...

when i was googling around for more info for this post, i realized sam is around the same age as me and they probably played kingdom hearts like the rest of us

i love seeing artists collab with hikki because they grew up with them <3

[gumby]

i was wondering about that! like the idea of older musicians getting inspiration from video game music or listening to these artists seems so unlikely, but these younger gens probably grew up with these games too, which i think is awesome. idk if ariana grande played final fantasy growing up, but i loved that she collabed with them for "touch it."

[moirasrose]

i love that version of touch it. it worked really well, even got me to play ffbe for a little bit and i’m not even an ari stan lmao.

Utada and Sam sound nice together. The percussion on the updated track definitely reminds me of Rina and Elton's "Chosen Family", but in a good way.
