RP STARTER 🎶

VIDEO TITLE: PaRappa the Rapper 2 - Stage 8 Cool Mode, Secret Level & True Ending

UPLOADED BY: GogogamesPS

UPLOADED ON: August 30th, 2011

DESCRIPTION: (no commentary) Hello everyone! Today marks 10 years since PaRappa the Rapper 2 was released in Japan, so to mark this special occasion, I have decided to make a video about an exclusive level and ending which can only be found on the “PaRappa 5th Anniversary Edition” of the base game which was released on December 6th, 2001 in Japan, and later in the rest of the world in 2002. By the way, according to an interview with Gabin Ito (the PaRappa 2 story writer), this specific ending is the finale to the PaRappa series as a whole, and was followed by an epilogue drama CD featuring the voice actors that was released in December 2002 in Japan, and on New Year’s Day on both the Japanese and international versions of the PaRappa 2 website. Enjoy!

// side note: the title of the side story is a reference to the first parappa pre-level cutscene called “I need to become a hero!!” (🇯🇵: ヒーローになりたい！！), making it some sort of a bookend

Final Party!!

Everybody say HOOOO!

This page is exclusively for the PaRappa the Rapper 2 rewrite/AU “Always Love!”, which takes place in a special version of the game where it is presented as the last entry in the PaRappa series.

PaRappa, having won a lifetime supply of noodles, sets out on a quest to become mature, encountering new teachers along the way and fighting against the mysterious Noodle Syndicate, who are planning to take over the world. Will PaRappa be able to grow up and finally impress Sunny?

Expect an encore of a certain PaRappa Town classic at the end…

I gotta BELIEVE!!!

FINDING: VOCALOID SONG WAS ORIGINALLY A PARAPPA 2 SONG?! (NON-NOODLE DOMINATION AU, ALWAYS LOVE REWRITE RELATED)

Hello, my name is Aisha and I come from the good timeline where there was a PTR 5th anniversary edition of PTR2 that was released and there was no bad ending recall or whatever.

So I was listening to this song called “8月の花嫁 (August Bride)” by OSTER project featuring Hatsune Miku the other day, and I noticed something… peculiar about the track.

After further research, I had discovered that this was a redone/recreated version of a song that was included with a PTR2 drama CD that was released in Japan in December 2002 called “August Miracle”.

Now, the song itself is lost media, but from what I’ve been able to find, this song was originally sung in English by the VA’s of the characters and had a different instrumental, slightly different lyrics, the Japanese translated title “8月の奇跡” and singable Japanese-translated lyrics done by Ryu Watabe, the main lyricist for the series.

Almost 6 years later in August 2008, a Vocaloid producer by the name of OSTER project (she/her) released a recreation/rewrite of the song that you can still listen to today.

If anyone can send me a playlist or whatever containing the song (via old uploads or whatever) on YT, Niconico or whatever video sharing site you can come across, please let me know.
