Pokémon Legends ZA's Hidden Theme: Kiseki

Описание: Say what you will about Pokémon Legends: ZA, but I adore the fact that it reuses Kiseki during the credits. Do you even remember that theme? So, let's get way too analytical about this forgotten end credits song from Pokémon X & Y, with a few extra tangents about languages, translation, and... Junichi Masusa?!?

1:27 - What is Kiseki?

5:05 - Themes of Beauty
7:25 - Language Oddities
8:55 - Translation & Localization
