Really though, he's the character the song fits the most. With the other characters (Joker especially) the song kind of fits with how they might of perceived themselves but were moving passed, but Goro never got that chance. That's why he was Joker's antithesis: the worst possible outcome.
I think Persona 5 Royal is canon, if that helps :) They’re now releasing exclusively that version to different platforms, so I think the changes in there are canon :)
The perfect way to start a high school day, a song from Lollia, from a game about struggling to stay who you are in high school. In all seriousness you nailed it with this one, and your other beneath the mask cover, the beginning of this one is especially strong. You have somehow strayed from the original twice, and well I'm sure there is going to be upset people, I personally think both have been fantastic, especially this one, you didn't stick to the normal but still delivered the songs feeling perfectly.
@@christinajohnson4238 akechi and joker has the power of change their personalities as they want. Even if Akechi shows up 2 personas, the first one was already so strong, he uses laser guns and laser blades just with the power of his own cognition. But, Akechi was distorted with hi revenge and Joker wasnt.
* MAJOR SPOILERS FOR PERSONA 5* Me: *exploring the 7th palace* "It's been a while since we've seen Akechi, I'm just waiting for him to show up out of nowhere" My brother: "Wait, how did you know?" Me: "Huh what do you mean I just guess- *Akechi jumps down suddenly* HOLY S-"
I was playing with my spouse watching, and every time they asked why I didn't trust Akechi, I just responded with "Pancakes" (Yes, I figured it out that early) and they didn't get it until the characters spelled it out.
Just came home from work and saw this upload. Your voice and the guitar are so much more fleshed out than the original this is an amazing reinterpretation. You know what im gonna put this on repeat and watch the sunset with my friends. Thanks for a spontaneous perfect evening.
Staring out of the window of a fast-moving Japanese train at evening heading to the airport after having spend three incredible weeks in Japan listening to this, priceless 👌
This is actually a beautiful rendition of the original and this is coming from some one who was already obsessed with the soundtrack from the game! Great job and I just subscribed!!!
Even if I have other things to do, I find myself listening to your songs over and over again. And this song is going to that collection. Wow I love this so much
I could feel the song with my heart. This is strong! It's hard to describe with words, so, just THANK YOU. I'm truly happy for being able to hear your works and I hope so much that you are happy with your doings.
y'know i noticed something when i was listening to this. akechi has two(? i think?) places that he has a strong connection to, and those places are leblanc and the jazz club. if you listen closely to the music in the background, (leblanc has both the instrumental and lyrical versions of beneath the mask i'm pretty sure) i believe that the lyrics pertain to who akechi is as a character. then again, i may be wrong, so i'm just putting it out there ^^; but i find it intentional that the two places he likes most would have music that just so happens to describe him..interesting.
Beneath the mask is also used in a lot of places Akechi has no relation to. The song in my opinion is about Joker, the similarities to Akechi are simply because the two are parallel characters.
I think the song is a reference to masque of the red death by edgar allan poe some of the lyrics backs up this theory here are some examples : "ı am a shape shifter at poe's masquerade" "ı can't tell you how to see me" and other lyrics like these. it is clearly telling the story of akechi, how he is a "shape shifter" and how "he can't tell them how to see him" and the whole thing is kind of symbolic because he is just like red death he is a hidden illness that will kill phantom thieves (both in a symbolic way and literally)
I disagree. The Red Death wasn't at the masquerade in Masque of the Red Death. I think this line is about the different coloured rooms in Masque of the Red Death, each representing an aspect of humanity. So this means that the shapeshifter at Poe's Masquerade is someone who changes more than just their outward appearance but their heart.
I love when you sing songs like this. This is the type of the content I'd pay for. Only dislike I have is the back vocals when you start singing the (I'm a shape shifter) imo

LYRICS
Where have you been?
Been searching all along
Came facing twilight on and on
Without a clue
Without a sign
Without grasping yet
The real question to be asked
Where have I been?
I'm a shape shifter
At Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I'm a shape shifter
What else should I be?
Please don't take off my mask
Revealing dark
Moments of calm
Nothing left to be found
A mirror right in front of me
That's where I find
An empty glass
Reflecting the sad truth
It's telling words not to be told
I need the mask
I'm a shape shifter
At Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I'm a shape shifter
Chained down to my core
Please don't take off my mask
My place to hide
I can't tell you
How to see me
Just a cage of bones
There's nothing inside
Will it unleash me?
Burning down the walls
Is there a way
For me to break?
I'm a shape shifter
At Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I'm a shape shifter
Have no face to show
Please don't take off my mask
My disguise
Ooh girl *aggressively fans self*
Jayn bby ahhhh
GORO AS THE CHARACTER FEATURED BREAKS MY HEART.... the cover itself is amazing, i love your adlibs ;___;
Really though, he's the character the song fits the most. With the other characters (Joker especially) the song kind of fits with how they might of perceived themselves but were moving passed, but Goro never got that chance. That's why he was Joker's antithesis: the worst possible outcome.
He is a shapeshifter
That was a joke I love Akechi

Here, have some curry
This is so relaxing to listen to ahhh~❤
heyyyyyyyyy wait a second
True
Hi Sultan! 😁
Wtf
@@Comic3665
Yeah I’m confused too,
never heard him talk about it
bless your soul for putting Goro as the cover 😩👏🏻 sounds great!!
I'm a simple man. I see Akechi, I click.
I agree
My pancakes agree
AGREEEED
I see Akechi I slap personally
Oh, am I mistaken? I thought I heard something about Delicious Pancakes
i listened to this soo much in middle school!!!
This song definitely seems to apply to Akechi more so than the main character
nah
umm either Joker or Akechi you pick
Akechi and Joker are opposite with many similarities.
so I think this song suits both of them perfectly.
@@claudiovinicius5273 why do you say about that I think that Akechi is the darker villain that has two personas and Joker has one.

oooh that akechi kun in the bg ;; great cover
Is that Goro in your profile picture?
Aww this is just great. The acoustic guitar really works, your voice too and the tempo of the song just jive so well
A great soundtrack with a mesmerizing voice to replay on loop while getting some assignments done. Thx Lollia, keep it up! :)
I hope the assignments go well!
Thx man
This is incredibly beautiful

Now that's spoiling it there in the whole game.
@@thanatos5150 I never trusted Akechi. Ever.
@@thanatos5150 Yo we are in the same club. I figured the pancakes thingy when it happened too
@@thanatos5150 Honestly I had too much of a soft spot for Aketchi to the point I didn’t really see it coming on my first play through
Loving the guitar. Nice relaxing music before i have to go to school in 10 minutes.
Just came home from work and saw this upload. Your voice and the guitar are so much more fleshed out than the original this is an amazing reinterpretation. You know what im gonna put this on repeat and watch the sunset with my friends. Thanks for a spontaneous perfect evening.
This song is had a totally different meaning to me with this arrangements, it's truly beautiful
Staring out of the window of a fast-moving Japanese train at evening heading to the airport after having spend three incredible weeks in Japan listening to this, priceless 👌
this honestly was my favorite track on the album. oof.
Perfect music to listen to for Homework~
Also what happened to your “Wake Up Get Up Get Out there” cover?
This is actually a beautiful rendition of the original and this is coming from some one who was already obsessed with the soundtrack from the game! Great job and I just subscribed!!!
The change of lyrics is a bold move... I like it.
Best boy on the thumbnail. Nice.
Nah best boy is Morgana
Best boi is actually homeless man
I love your username.
Everyone knows best boy is Ryuji.
AHHHH Fantastic!! Love it as always. You have such a lovely voice that's perfect for acoustic songs
Beautiful, just beautiful. Can't believe how awesome this sounds.
I thank you for this cover. Your voice is so soothing. And acoustic cover gave this song a completely new color. Keep it up!
Yup, perfect to wake up to and ride to work with on repeat.
Soothing, calming and relaxing. Great job.

I absolutely loved it! Keep up the great work :)
Best cover I heard so far.
That opening with the guitar is my favorite 👌🏽👌🏽
This is easily my favorite version of this song.
I just love this ver so so so much!!! Really your voice is better for it than the original ver, in my opinion. Keep on the great work
This is the perfect cover to start my mornings
i would love to have a 1 hour loop of with and without vocals. by far my favorite cover of this song!
Even if I have other things to do, I find myself listening to your songs over and over again. And this song is going to that collection. Wow I love this so much
I didn’t think anything could beat the original, but you proved me wrong. Incredible job❤️👍🏻
I could feel the song with my heart. This is strong! It's hard to describe with words, so, just THANK YOU. I'm truly happy for being able to hear your works and I hope so much that you are happy with your doings.
this is top tier. i really love your stuff.

This is relaxing.
A voice so soothing its like listening to an angel

I will admit lollia does such a good job at remixes

Beautiful as always!
One of the best moment of my confinment. Thanks Lollia.

@@trinxty6099 maybe, but i think it is referring to akechi's other personality
The song can relate to both Akira and Akechi
It's just Amazing !
One of the best ver i have heard of this song :)
This was amazing. I love it. I can't say that I was a fan of the rap that the last one had so I'm glad this one didn't have it.
Is this what's called magic.
Yes
that's the SP
This is beautiful
Whoever disliked this held his/her phone upside down,,,, this is such a good cover
This is relaxing, great job
This is the best rendition of this song. I honestly adore it ^_^
great job, sound too good to be true!
Love it! So early today too!!!
I love when you sing songs like this. This is the type of the content I'd pay for.
