Re: What

Wikipedia said:
The melody of a ballos is generally joyous and lyrical which is typical of the music of the Aegean Islands...

Therefore, the floating island is named Aegean Island, QED.

Re: What

This is simply mind boggling.

And some random Japanese people came upon it.

This is what Ballos's kingdom used to be like.
Every day.
All the time.

Re: What

Now I wonder if 'ballos' is Finnish or not.

Maybe Pixel like this song and made a mini-tribute?

Hello forumers.

Jenka, the old lady has surely gotten her name from an old Finnish song "Letkajenkka" or Letka Jenkka.

The song that plays in the Jenkas chamber is LetkaJenkka.

Greetings to you

That's awesome! I never would have guessed. A youtube video in the spoiler:

It turns out that the Jenkka is both a genre of music and dance. Traditionally, it seems to be a couple dance, but has also been adapted to a line dance format similar to a conga line. It also seems that the couple dance is usually referred to as "jenkka," whereas the modernized line dance is called "letkajenkka," or "letkis" for short. More youtube in the spoiler:
The traditional couple dance


The "line dance" version

It makes me wonder where else Pixel got his inspiration for the soundtrack? As an ethnomusicologist, I'm thinking about writing a paper about this now. :awesomeface: Anyway, thanks for pointing this out, rubberfinger!

Umm, correct me if i'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that this fact has been established before in the community, nothing new.

but still, I still find the connection really neat.

EDIT: I just noticed you named the thread: Original music of Jenka's Nightmare. Jenka's Nightmare is not the original song's name from Cave Story, it is the name of a mod.

Wow, this is very interesting. Perhaps Pixel likes Letkajenkka.

No need. I just merged the last three threads on the subject into this one.
