I'd say a similar character look to swap in:

Do not forget the japanese? creator may simple not be able to include it.
Dependency could be paid content - but then on the other hand the included song is also questionable legally.
I like the song itself.
The audio quality is terrible! Here is the catch:
Quality is not just terrible in the included (actually high bitrate) mp3 - even in the original YouTube video by producer Kordhell itself I can her the audio clipping!
How do people not hear this?
Is this ...
1. intentional in this genre of music?
2. or does the producer have no technical clue what he is doing?
That fact is:
There was data lost already in the audio uploaded to YouTube itself and there is strong quality loss already baked into that source.
Obviously YT does lossy compresion. So quality from the master is lost - but this does not explain these terrible values.
I am not an audiophile person, but even I know the peak level should always be at or below 0 dB, ideally with a bit of headroom.
Well-mastered tracks commonly target -1 to -3 dB true peak. Anything positive means the waveform is clipping.
Actual distortion baked into the samples, not something a player/DAC can "fix".
Quality comparison across all 4 audio-only streams available for this YT video:

I am facepalming about the music producer here, not the scene uploader. Tried to "repair" the scene audio by searching for a better source - ended up deleting it.
I value the music synced "dance" animation in the scene - did not care about the missing character look - but without a clean audio source this becomes useless for me too.
What's next? Will we do the same with movies where we have the upper half missing from bad mastering? "Idiocracy" the movie is becoming more and more a reality.
Like seriously wtf - am I missing something here? - do music producers upload it in messed up quality intentionally to "free" source maybe? I really don't know...
