Hey ya'll. There was already a thread for the actual Livestream itself, but you may have missed the musical performances live. Nintendo uploaded them to its official YouTube yesterday. They are fucking sick. I think each track is a completely different mix - a lot of the Splatoon battle songs have never been performed live for Nintendo to date and are completely original extended versions, as are the two Xenoblade tracks to the best of my knowledge.
I thought more people ought to see them, so I've broken them up into individual tracks.
Nintendo Special Rock Band
Notably the Rock Band performed 3 times and did different flourishes each time, so I've noted them as seperate performances below even when it was the same song. Also, all the squid lyrics are live via filter, so you can actually see the performers saying all kinds of garbage mid-performance. The keyboardist in particular is fucking workin' it.
Splatattack! (Main Theme) - Squid Squad (Splatoon)
Day 1 Morning
Day 1 Afternoon
Day 2 Morning (by far the craziest performance of the 3, with a shittonne of flourishes)
Seascape (Vs Theme 3) - Squid Squad (Splatoon)
Day 1 Morning (Heavily extended, but fairly workmanlike)
Friend List - ABXY / Shellfie - The Chirpy Chips (Vs Theme 6) (Splatoon)
Day 1 Afternoon (Extremely high levels of squid vocals, great mix)
Hooked (vs Theme 7) - Hightide Era (Splatoon)
Day 2 Morning (Absolutely insane levels of jazz improv. The keyboardist in particular goes completely fucking crazy halfway through and starts playing with her elbows)
Now or Never (Last Minute) - Squid Squad (Splatoon)
Day 1 Morning
Day 1 Afternoon
Day 2 Morning
Mechanical Rhythm - Xenoblade
Day 1 Morning
Day 1 Afternoon
Day 2 Morning
Those Who Bear Their Name - Xenoblade (The strings at the beginning are weak but other than that this rules - it's a super extended cut)
Day 1 Morning
Day 1 Afternoon
Day 2 Morning
Mario Kart Medley (Big Blue, Excitebike Arena, DS Wario Stadium, Bowser's Castle, Electrodrome) (Mario Kart 8)
Day 1 Morning

Inkoming (Main Theme) - Wet Floor (Splatoon 2) (First live performance, the dual vocals are amazing)

Pokemon Medley
Fire Emblem Medley
Super Mario Medley
