My names for the jails: Shibuya - Alice's wonderland Sendai - Realm of Nightmares Sapporo - The Snow City (or Peaceful Winter City) Okinawa - The Jail Research Laboratory Kyoto - Thieves Shrine Osaka - Heroic Empire The last two have names so there's no point
I completely agree with you. The emptiness of the ost perfectly represents the torn and destroyed jail. A feeling of dread is always present with this theme. And yet, it’s every so captivating.
My biggest issue with that dungeon is that they didn't change the battle music, so its kinda tonal whiplash when you get into a fight. Woulda been real creepy if there just... WASNT battle music and they kept the overworld tracks. Hard to keep that vibe up in a musou game though regardless, I suppose.
I liked the Kyoto jail as a small bite sized area, but the concept art shows a much more interesting dungeon that makes me sad it never saw the light of day.
Game design-wise, the Kyoto jail we had was not smart at all. We just had an out-of-habit jail right before that, at least make another one that fits the usual formula before doing another one-off jail
@@tamanakio5253 To be fair, you first enter the Jail just one day after Akane built it; and it took about the same amount of time to rescue her. So it makes sense why the Kyoto Jail was so small and linear, since its Monarch wasn’t around long enough for it to expand with additional security measures like Cores, Prison Keeps, and Wardens.
@@Cure_Hana that’s a great explanation, tbh. Compare that to Osaka’s jail, and it’s clear that the monarch there, being the monarch who then made other monarchs, had a huge-ass jail, at least in terms of its individual areas like the station, the zoo, and the main streets. Then again, it’s probably the fact there were turrets that made you go a linear path for a short yet good portion of the story in Osaka that made it feel bigger.
Yeah, I'll gladly explore Osaka's Jail and fight Konoe, because at least Konoe's fight is challenging, but fair. Okumura's fight and Palace were a painful chore.
Singularity is hands down the best palace theme in the game it’s so mysterious and so spooky where you want to go further and further in the place to see what you could find
I swear ATLUS loves making the 6th area of each game being the best design and having the best theme. Like seriously. In P4 it was Nanako’s dungeon, P5 it was Sae’s Palace and now in Strikers it’s the Osaka Jail.
@@ooofthedegenerate I’m talking about in terms of like graphical design. Futaba’s palace would be number 1 in terms of gameplay just because of how emotional going through her own tomb was. I’d put Sae’s at a close second mainly because of how long it is but it’s still fun to play through. Then idc what the rest is all I know is I give Okumura’s palace as last and above that the Depths of Mementos just because it wasn’t really interesting
@@Dresfvae In terms of graphical design I still much prefer any other palace in the game besides komoshida kanashiros and mementoes the song they play gets on my nerves I find casino levels to look the nearly the exact same no matter what game it is my mind can't comprehend how Sae's palace is so loved outside of the narrative it isn't good
Did anyone notice that in the Osaka , all the Maddice logos have been changed to something called “Caldia”? Ever logo on the tower has been changed from that giant “M”. Plus this is all official artwork since it was in the bonus art book. It looks like Maddice was originally supposed to be called “Caldia”. Pretty cool huh?
Interesting, while I also agree Madicce sounds better and it is a more tech-y name, Caldia is also a pretty clever pun because "r" and "l" sounds the same in Japanese; Caldia will read as Cardia, which seems deriviate from cardiac (pretty much means "of the heart"), and the company's goal is changing hearts en masses similar to the phantom thieves "of hearts".
Yeah there is a lot of changing from the game, like originally the director said zenkichi is supposed to be female a single mother instead of a single father.
Honestly I prefer it over Okumura's, the design is heavily influenced by Konoe's worldview whereas the whole spaceship theme of Okumura's was just sort of random for the sake of a pun.
The seven deadly sins in the order of jail's Shabuya- jail of lust Sendie- jail of vanity Sapporo- jail of gluttony Okinawa- jail of greed before it's owner dies Kiyoto- jail of wrath Osaka- jail of pride Jail of the abyss- sloth And finally the jail of despair.
this is just... wrong 💀 Sendai is Vanity Okinawa is "Desolation" (doesn't have a sin associated w/ it in Jp either) Osaka is labeled as Arrogance, though Shido was Pride, however arrogance was also used And while neither have an official title, I'd argue Abyss is Envy and the Tree is Sloth Just my take though... and the trophies' take as well lol
@@alexhouser5792 there is a reason why I put Okinawa as greed because it is the last sin not in it and that it became the jail of desolation when the monarch is dead, most of the place was in ruins. And Osaka jail, I think that both arrogance and pride are sort of similar to one another, I mean they both have the similar answers it's just the definition of it. Finally the abyss and the tree of knowledge they are both look similar to mementos which was the palace of sloth, and despair is to contrast with Sophie being hope.

@@Ardnux Also I just realized the track Counterfeit Phantom has a Japanese remix of "Life will change". played with flute and taiko drums. That's such a cool Easter egg!
Literally any Phantom Thief: Joker? Aren't you going to jump down into the jail? Joker, vibing to Welcome To The Jail: I'm just... surveying the area first.
people keep saying Okumura jail and Osaka jail is the same just because both have futuristic tech it's totally different... Okumura Palace is a space port... and Osaka jail is a futuristic city....
I love the mystery behind jail 4 (Okinawa jail) I have so many questions about it: Did it always look this destroyed or is it due to the monarchs absence? If not then what was it like originally? And the warden being in the jail implies the source of the monarchs trauma was inside the jail itself, this is backed up by the recorded messages you listen to throughout the jail Omg so fucking good
Tree of knowledge, the main song you hear after you beat the main story. A song you really just can’t escape from and plays over and over in your head. Slaps way too hard but has this sad tone, you want more story but can’t get it for now. DEPRESSION!
Stages from any videogame or Netflix series that these songs can fit in; Welcome to the Jail - Gotham City Loving Wonderland - Grizelda's Palace Duplicitous Devil's Castle - Bowser's Castle Voracious Waltz - Lin Kuei Temple Singularity - Luigi's Mansion Counterfeit Phantom - Black Tabby Dojo Anti HERO - Eggman Empire Fortress
I saw other people do rankings on the jail themes, so I thought I could do one too. So this is my ranking from worst to best: 9. Voracious Waltz: (7:00) as much as this song fits with the jail appearance, I don’t like it as much as the others. It’s not as catchy but I can see people at least liking it. It’s just that I like the others better, that’s all. 8. Duplicitous Devils Castle: (4:30) I like this one a little less than the others. Though the first 20 seconds of this sounds pretty good and that part between 5:22 - 5:38. Those two parts are good but everything else of the song is eh for me. 7. Welcome To The Jail: (0:00) This and the last one are almost tied but Welcome to the Jail is a little bit better in my opinion. It’s because at 1:10 - 1:49 slaps so hard. That part is a bop. Everything else is decent. 6. Loving Wonderland: (2:13) I feel bad for putting this one lower on the list but the other ones are better :(. This song is very catchy though, and it fits how the jail looks if that makes sense. It also kind of sounds like a song that Alice would listen to in her free time for some reason. It just really fits her vibe. 5. Tower Of Life: (22:23) Love the metal guitar in this one. It’s also a pretty good final dungeon theme. Could be a little more intense but nonetheless, still a banger jail theme. 4. Anti-Hero: (15:08) A theme like this really fits a high-tech looking jail. This jail theme also sounds amazing in general. I don’t know if anyone else hears this, but it kinda gives me geometry dash vibes. This one is also very catchy. Love this one. 3. Jail In Abyss: (18:16) Every time I hear this song, I just vibe. I love the beat and the beginning part of this song is so catchy and amazing. Even though it sounds a little creepy, it won’t stop me from loving it 2. Counterfeit Phantom: (12:16) I don’t know how to describe this one. It’s just really beautiful. The flute sounds so good and it honestly makes it better in my opinion. I also love how you can hear “Life Will Change” at 13:37. Such an amazing jail theme. 1. Singularity: (9:20) I-I have no words. This one just sounds so fucking amazing and beautiful. The sad violin, the rock part, just everything about this jail theme is a masterpiece. It just sounds so sad yet haunting. It also fits very well. This one is just beyond beautiful.
My ranking: 1. Singularity: I mean,,, this is just a compositional masterpiece. It fits the theme of the jail perfectly, and while the music itself feels hollow and empty, if you listen closely, so many sounds are filling the atmosphere. It's just brilliant. New person national anthem in my opinion 2. Loving Wonderland: This is a bop. Close to getting first if it wasnt for Singularity's sensational design. You can't help but dance when you listen to this. It is insanely catchy and the best part is that in game, some of the character's idle poses bop perfectly to the rhythm. 3. Counterfeit Phantom: What happens when you take Life will Change and Last Surprise and turn them into an instrumental masterpiece? This jail theme. The wind and string instruments coupled with the insanely catchy beat fits really well together. The jail was probably one of my least favorites playing, but I can't help but be in love with the creativity behind the soundtrack. 4. ANTI HERO: This is one catchy ass theme. The techno beats fit the jail's theme and style perfectly--not to mention having the best boss fight in the game as the cherry on top within the jail. I'd say this doesn't make the podium because it kinda reminds me of Okumura palace, but obviously with a much better theme. 5. Tree of Life: This gives momentos theme but give it a hint of Persona 5 royal and Our Beginning. It brings tears to my eyes and I still haven't finished the game. This is definitely going to be hard to play once I get to this point. I am just about to finish the Path to the Abyss. 6. Voracious Waltz: Talk about an instrumental theme. This is on the lower end of the list because while I think it is a strongly composed theme, it doesn't really feel like it is meant to be a Jail theme. It seems to playful, not creepy enough given the monarch is a gluttonous fiend with glowing red eyes... I still appreciate it, but not enough to fall in love with it. 7. Jail of the Abyss: While this song is quite dark, mysterious and funky, I just don't like the feel of it. I felt like a more sinister them could accompany the ambiance of the jail... I mean, it is quite literally a jail about kidnapping and brainwashing people to become slaves to AI. It feels very different as a Jail theme, but again not enough to be obsessed with. 8. Duplicitous Devil's castle: Okay... maybe this shouldn't be so low. Not that it is a bad theme, just that it is easily the most forgettable jail theme. It fits the whole "mystery novel" vibe with a focus on dungeons, but nothing more. It doesn't invoke the same imagery or sensations as singularity, loving wonderland, or counterfeit phantom. Thankfully its not the worst theme. 9. Welcome to the Jail: I admit. When I first heard this theme, I became even more in love with the game. But then I kept hearing it...again...again...and again. I didn't end up hating it, I just knew that each Jail had its own theme and was much more excited to hearing those than the same one over and over again. I would enter a jail and think "okay how much longer until the new jail theme plays??" There you have it. An explanation and an opinion no one asked for! Enjoy
I can kinda agree with your Welcome To The Jail placement. It's good... But like, especially when I'm in Alice's Jail, I just wanna hear her theme lmao
At first I also hated welcome to the jail. However, in osaka a new part comes in. The one at 1:10. And it is soooo good, it caught me off guard. That made me fall in love with that song.
The emotions the music conveys is stunning. It paints quite a lovely, dark, and desolate story as it injects dread as you paced the jail. It is very patently my preferred jail.
Hottest take: I like all of these more than most Palace themes in Persona 5 (vanilla, I haven't listened to the Royal ones yet, I am almost done with the Ark and it's... aight)
All of these would be perfect for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to play on Mementos. Welcome to the Jail Loving Wonderland Duplicitous Devil's Castle Counterfeit Phantom Anti HERO Would all be fantastic as original tracks. Voracious Waltz would need a New Remix.
I'm also not into Techno Music, but, Anti HERO is the exception. I want Zenkichi Hasegawa in Smash with these tracks along with Take Over, Counterstrike, You Are Stronger, Demiurge and The Scramble Remixes of Last Surprise and RITD. Singularity wouldn't really work in Smash. His Classic Mode would be called "Painful Past", like the Painful Past Requests.
This does not seem to be an opinion that many hold, but I really like Duplicitous Devil's Castle from the Sendai Jail. It also reminds me of some other sound tracks, although I cannot remember exactly what they would be.
I can't decide if I prefer Singularity or Counterfeit Phantom... the former gives me Resident Evil 2 Remake vibes, the latter gives me Ghost of Tsushima vibes.
@@Ardnux Anti HERO is the Osaka jail theme, which is why I said it should before that. EDIT: It just occurred to me that you might have thought I was talking about the game. Just to be clear, I was talking about this video lol.
My only complaint about the palace themes is that when you go sideways, the music suddenly takes a hit and you lose like an entire 3 instruments. Like Why?! Let us listen to your awesome soundtrack goddammit!
@@DopeioThePhoneBoi That's true. But For me, it kinda dampens my groove. Like your getting super into it!.. then it just cuts like half of the other instruments and you just feel like you were cut short.
Here's my personal ranking of these, from "worst" to best: (Note that these are all great, not a single one of these I'd consider even mediocre.) 9 - Duplicitious Devils Castle (Sendai): Sets the mood nicely, but it does lack the catchiness that all other themes have. 8 - Tower of Life (Tree of Knowledge): A nice endgame tune, it really does pump you up for the finale. Shame the dungeon itself was a bit on the shorter side. 7 - Jail in Abyss (Abyss): Now it's already getting hard. I like this one because, like Freedom and Security in P5, it managed to capture the sadness of apathy and captivity. I also enjoy how they used dissonant chords in here. 6 - Welcome to the Jail: This theme is great. It sounds very ominous and intimidating, but in a badass "Yeah, let's do this!" kinda way. I especially like the imposing part at the beginning that repeats a few times, where they imitate a prison alarm with guitars. I associate it with the shots of Joker looking over the transformed cities, facing the coming madness head-on. 5 - Eating Waltz (Sapporo): There's nothing like a 3/4 time signature. I like the quieter quirky parts of this one the most, but the grandioseness of it all definitely fits the Jail and its ruler. Love that they made the beginning sound like The Nutcracker. 4 - Counterfeit Phantom (Kyoto): Man, I love classical japanese instruments. They always bring a fun vibe to whatever song they're in. This one is no exception. It starts quiet and sneakily, just like the Jail it belongs to, but quickly grows to become a groovy and fun-filled jam, with some great musical callbacks to "Wake Up, Get Up, Get out there" which makes sense, considering Zenkichis Awakening happens here. 3 - Love te Wonderland (Shibuya): Yes, the literal horny jail gets top 3 treatment from me. I love everything about this theme; it's fun, catchy, quirky, and conveys its themes perfectly! I really like how it has some music box sounds in there, really captures the weird creepy carnival theme they went for. I also love how it starts with a record scratch. DJ Alice is gonna liven up this party! 2 - Singularity (Okinawa): Do I even need to say why this theme is incredible? The sad violin, the guitar that sounds like it's screaming into the darkness, the complete tonal shift from what came before, the intense percussion. It just all beatifully encapsulates the fear of the unknown you feel while delving into this place, that grows and grows with each recording you listen to. 1 - Anti Hero (Osaka): Osaka's Jail is utterly fantastic from beginning to end. The design, the story behind it, the ruler and his backstory, I love everything about them. And Anti Hero might be my favourite dungeon theme from any game. It's so intense, high energy and pumps you up, while also really hammering home the fact that the person it belongs to sees himself as an undisputed hero of justice, who rules over a cybernetic utopia. So yeah, this soundtrack is kinda good. Thanks for reading!
Love the very detailed review. I think we may have the same top 3 as well since Osaka's theme is epic for me, Singularity is that mystery/dark tone, and Shibuya has that catchy/gets you into exploration feeling and great way to begin the new game in my opinion. I see you have the Persona 5 / Royal palaces themes as well. love the new mementos layer theme tho and final palace theme as it really feels the end.
My ranking for every theme: 9. Welcome To The Jail 8. Devil's Castle 7. Love Te Wonderland 6. Eating Waltz 5. Counterfeit Phantom 4. ANTI Hero 3. Jail In Abyss 2. Tower Of Life 1. Singularity
*Note that the Welcome to the Jail played in this video is the version from akira's jail exclusively, not the whole game. The guitar solo is not there in the origional. Still love it tho 🎸
Tree of Life jail has a relaxed tone. Sure, the metaverse is close to merging with the real world and since its part metaverse, the phantom thieves can't leave because they'd be in the same place; but its also the realisation that you are going to fight the final boss and halt the fusing. Its calming in a way knowing you can save all of humanity.
*P5R spoiler warning* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Is it just me or does the last jail's theme song has similar vibe to maruki's palace? Or it bc of the piano?
Well Royal and Strikers were developed along side one another so they took a lot of influence from one another. A lot of people forget but Japan got both games roughly 4 months apart which is extremely close together for the same series.
My ranking: 9: Welcome to the Jail 8: Tower of Life 7: Voracious Waltz 6: Loving Wonderland 5: Jail in Abyss 4: Anti HERO 3: Duplicitous Devil's Castle 2: Counterfeit Phantom 1: Singularity
(My opinion) 9: Sapporo jail 8: jail of the abyss 7: welcome to the jail 6: kyoto jail 5: tree of knowledge 4: Shibuya jail 3: Okinawa jail 1: osaka and sendai are top 1 for me
Jail in the abyss is so good its criminal and the counterfeit phantom them and the way it portrays forehead girl’s love of the phantom thief in it while being its own theme Also wonderland is cool Edit: I forgot anti hero, but how damn good the dungeon and the music was. Edit: also forgot singularity, the music amazing, mystery is anazing and yeah Ranking would be 9. The snowy one 8. The one wit da dragon 7. The jail entering theme 6. Tree of life 5. Wonderland 4. singularity 3. Anti-Hero 2. Abyss jail 1. Counterfeit phantom
Kyoto and Okinawa are just perfect My rankings 1st - Okinawa 2nd - Kyoto 3rd - Osaka 4th - Tree of Knowledge 5th - Jail of Abyss 6th - Shibuya 7th - Sendai 8th - Sapporo
It's easy to tell that Shoji left just by listening to these songs. The only Jail themes that sound like they were composed by Shoji Meguro is Jail of the Abyss (My 3rd fav) and Tower of life (2nd Fav). With that being said, a lot of the people here are ranking those 2 wayy lower than the others which is a relief for the future of Persona if they keep these new composers. But I'm only saying this based on the rankings of the comments on this video

Singularity is just the perfect chef's kiss from the composer
I completely agree with you. The emptiness of the ost perfectly represents the torn and destroyed jail. A feeling of dread is always present with this theme. And yet, it’s every so captivating.

@@AviorGloria I completely agree.
Interesting, while I also agree Madicce sounds better and it is a more tech-y name, Caldia is also a pretty clever pun because "r" and "l" sounds the same in Japanese; Caldia will read as Cardia, which seems deriviate from cardiac (pretty much means "of the heart"), and the company's goal is changing hearts en masses similar to the phantom thieves "of hearts".
@@internetexplorerpony that’s a really interesting observation!
Yeah there is a lot of changing from the game, like originally the director said zenkichi is supposed to be female a single mother instead of a single father.
Let's be honest, the Osaka jail is basically another Okumura Palace and I mean it by design not gameplay
I didn't realize that until now, lol.
In terms of gameplay and design this jail is honestly beautiful and fun to play. Okumura Palace was a chore and I just wanted to finish the palace
Honestly I prefer it over Okumura's, the design is heavily influenced by Konoe's worldview whereas the whole spaceship theme of Okumura's was just sort of random for the sake of a pun.
Actually the theme reminds me a bit of the ark too
Not exactly
Okumura Palace is more about the space, like Star Wars and this
Then, Osaka jail is more like just futuristic
The seven deadly sins in the order of jail's
Shabuya- jail of lust

Okinawa is "Desolation" (doesn't have a sin associated w/ it in Jp either)
Osaka is labeled as Arrogance, though Shido was Pride, however arrogance was also used
And while neither have an official title, I'd argue Abyss is Envy and the Tree is Sloth

Finally the abyss and the tree of knowledge they are both look similar to mementos which was the palace of sloth, and despair is to contrast with Sophie being hope.
At the end of the day it is my interpretation of the game it doesn't have to be right or wrong.
Sendie

Man I think the soundtrack has outdone itself.
I especially like how some of the songs almost sound like they would fit into other games:
Shibuya = Sonic Rush
Sendai = Castlevania
Sapporo = Frozen (which has a mobile game and a Kingdom Hearts level)
Okinawa = Metal Gear Solid
Kyoto = Ninja Gaiden (or any game set in Edo Era Japan)
Osaka = any Cyberpunk game
The other 2 songs are unique to persona as they distinctly sound like they would only work in Mementos.
Yeah, each music had to fit in the place you're exploring.
@@Ardnux Also I just realized the track Counterfeit Phantom has a Japanese remix of "Life will change". played with flute and taiko drums. That's such a cool Easter egg!
I get a twewy verb with Shibuya.

Sendai also reminds me of Nier Automata

it's totally different... Okumura Palace is a space port... and Osaka jail is a futuristic city....
And Unlike Okumura's palace, which is so boring his boss fight is the absolute worst, Konoe's fight is fluid, dynamic, and fun.
I love the mystery behind jail 4 (Okinawa jail)
I have so many questions about it:
Did it always look this destroyed or is it due to the monarchs absence?
If not then what was it like originally?
And the warden being in the jail implies the source of the monarchs trauma was inside the jail itself, this is backed up by the recorded messages you listen to throughout the jail
Omg so fucking good
I agree but probably this Jail was like 80% exactly like this even with the active Monarch. It is a test Jail after all
@@GrandeBigdor yeah you're probably right
But there would be less debris and broken objects everywhere
@@Irish_Enderman And the song wouldn't have been so fire. Andmaybe it wasn't the "cage of desolation".
i love all the jail themes but hearing the extended part of welcome to the jail in konoe's jail was such a hype moment. 11.5/10
Tree of knowledge, the main song you hear after you beat the main story. A song you really just can’t escape from and plays over and over in your head. Slaps way too hard but has this sad tone, you want more story but can’t get it for now. DEPRESSION!
Lol yeah especially on 8/28 considering anytime you leave any Jail you hear it almost immediately.
Counterfeit phantom is my favourite.
It fits very well to the jail theme.
0:01 2:13 4:32 7:01 9:21 12:17 15:08 18:17 22:23
I don't know if it's just me but if you listen to counterfeit phantom you hear. wake up get out there
Stages from any videogame or Netflix series that these songs can fit in;
Welcome to the Jail - Gotham City
Loving Wonderland - Grizelda's Palace
Duplicitous Devil's Castle - Bowser's Castle
Voracious Waltz - Lin Kuei Temple
Singularity - Luigi's Mansion
Counterfeit Phantom - Black Tabby Dojo
Anti HERO - Eggman Empire Fortress
I love the free game they added to this soundtrack it's not bad
I saw other people do rankings on the jail themes, so I thought I could do one too. So this is my ranking from worst to best:
9. Voracious Waltz: (7:00)
as much as this song fits with the jail appearance, I don’t like it as much as the others. It’s not as catchy but I can see people at least liking it. It’s just that I like the others better, that’s all.
8. Duplicitous Devils Castle: (4:30)
I like this one a little less than the others. Though the first 20 seconds of this sounds pretty good and that part between 5:22 - 5:38. Those two parts are good but everything else of the song is eh for me.
7. Welcome To The Jail: (0:00)
This and the last one are almost tied but Welcome to the Jail is a little bit better in my opinion. It’s because at 1:10 - 1:49 slaps so hard. That part is a bop. Everything else is decent.
6. Loving Wonderland: (2:13)
I feel bad for putting this one lower on the list but the other ones are better :(. This song is very catchy though, and it fits how the jail looks if that makes sense. It also kind of sounds like a song that Alice would listen to in her free time for some reason. It just really fits her vibe.
5. Tower Of Life: (22:23)
Love the metal guitar in this one. It’s also a pretty good final dungeon theme. Could be a little more intense but nonetheless, still a banger jail theme.
4. Anti-Hero: (15:08)
A theme like this really fits a high-tech looking jail. This jail theme also sounds amazing in general. I don’t know if anyone else hears this, but it kinda gives me geometry dash vibes. This one is also very catchy. Love this one.
3. Jail In Abyss: (18:16)
Every time I hear this song, I just vibe. I love the beat and the beginning part of this song is so catchy and amazing. Even though it sounds a little creepy, it won’t stop me from loving it
2. Counterfeit Phantom: (12:16)
I don’t know how to describe this one. It’s just really beautiful. The flute sounds so good and it honestly makes it better in my opinion. I also love how you can hear “Life Will Change” at 13:37. Such an amazing jail theme.
1. Singularity: (9:20)
I-I have no words. This one just sounds so fucking amazing and beautiful. The sad violin, the rock part, just everything about this jail theme is a masterpiece. It just sounds so sad yet haunting. It also fits very well. This one is just beyond beautiful.
Singularity is just incredible, best jail theme in the game
in my opinion it is ether that or loving wonderland.
My ranking:
1. Singularity: I mean,,, this is just a compositional masterpiece. It fits the theme of the jail perfectly, and while the music itself feels hollow and empty, if you listen closely, so many sounds are filling the atmosphere. It's just brilliant. New person national anthem in my opinion
2. Loving Wonderland: This is a bop. Close to getting first if it wasnt for Singularity's sensational design. You can't help but dance when you listen to this. It is insanely catchy and the best part is that in game, some of the character's idle poses bop perfectly to the rhythm.
3. Counterfeit Phantom: What happens when you take Life will Change and Last Surprise and turn them into an instrumental masterpiece? This jail theme. The wind and string instruments coupled with the insanely catchy beat fits really well together. The jail was probably one of my least favorites playing, but I can't help but be in love with the creativity behind the soundtrack.
4. ANTI HERO: This is one catchy ass theme. The techno beats fit the jail's theme and style perfectly--not to mention having the best boss fight in the game as the cherry on top within the jail. I'd say this doesn't make the podium because it kinda reminds me of Okumura palace, but obviously with a much better theme.
5. Tree of Life: This gives momentos theme but give it a hint of Persona 5 royal and Our Beginning. It brings tears to my eyes and I still haven't finished the game. This is definitely going to be hard to play once I get to this point. I am just about to finish the Path to the Abyss.
6. Voracious Waltz: Talk about an instrumental theme. This is on the lower end of the list because while I think it is a strongly composed theme, it doesn't really feel like it is meant to be a Jail theme. It seems to playful, not creepy enough given the monarch is a gluttonous fiend with glowing red eyes... I still appreciate it, but not enough to fall in love with it.
7. Jail of the Abyss: While this song is quite dark, mysterious and funky, I just don't like the feel of it. I felt like a more sinister them could accompany the ambiance of the jail... I mean, it is quite literally a jail about kidnapping and brainwashing people to become slaves to AI. It feels very different as a Jail theme, but again not enough to be obsessed with.
8. Duplicitous Devil's castle: Okay... maybe this shouldn't be so low. Not that it is a bad theme, just that it is easily the most forgettable jail theme. It fits the whole "mystery novel" vibe with a focus on dungeons, but nothing more. It doesn't invoke the same imagery or sensations as singularity, loving wonderland, or counterfeit phantom. Thankfully its not the worst theme.
9. Welcome to the Jail: I admit. When I first heard this theme, I became even more in love with the game. But then I kept hearing it...again...again...and again. I didn't end up hating it, I just knew that each Jail had its own theme and was much more excited to hearing those than the same one over and over again. I would enter a jail and think "okay how much longer until the new jail theme plays??"
There you have it. An explanation and an opinion no one asked for! Enjoy
Thank you so much for the very detailed ranking review! Kyoto, Osaka, and Shibuya Jail themes are my top three. Singularity is very great as well.
I can kinda agree with your Welcome To The Jail placement. It's good... But like, especially when I'm in Alice's Jail, I just wanna hear her theme lmao
At first I also hated welcome to the jail. However, in osaka a new part comes in. The one at 1:10. And it is soooo good, it caught me off guard. That made me fall in love with that song.
It’s obvious that “love te Wonderland” is the best one
Honestly I cant wait on what the music will be like when persona 6 comes out later in the future
9:20 I added that this song is haunted and mixed in rock style, really good.
The emotions the music conveys is stunning. It paints quite a lovely, dark, and desolate story as it injects dread as you paced the jail. It is very patently my preferred jail.
@@AviorGloria Expect for those stupid claws
The music in this game does not get nearly enough love. Its awesome!
whenever i hear welcome to the jail i keep remembering kasumi using cymbals and akechi looking at the cymbals he has with a disgusted face
Tree of knowledge had no reason to slap so hard as the final dungeon
I’m so addicted to counterfeit phantom 🎋
Duplicitous Devil’s Castle is actually good change my mind
Why I would try to change your mind when you said the truth?
The Sapporo Jail theme sounds like the Nutcracker music
Singularity is just so unlike _any_ other Persona or Megaten track and I still love it.
The Sendai Jail sounds like it straight up came from the Kingdom Hearts OST.
I’d imagine this would be the theme for the White Witch castle if Sora ever went to the Narnia world.
you could play it in the Ice Labyrinth part of Arendelle in KH3 and it would absolutely fit.
13:39
*Doesn’t this sound familiar to you?*
If you hold on life won’t change!
Same with tree of knowledge
Top 3 Jail themes in order from 3, 2, 1.
Shibuya Jail, Okinawa Jail, Osaka Jail. Change my mind.
I wont because i absolutely agree with you
I feel like the soundtrack from the great tree has parts of maruki’s palace theme in it....
That's the point glad u picked it up, both motif are Eden
I like all the jails
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that "Anti HERO" would sound really good mashed up with the Reflection Cave theme from Pokemon X/Y?
Osaka is my personal favorite. It's the perfect retro techno-beat.
Edit: Also, major credit to the amazing art for each Jail setting.
Hottest take: I like all of these more than most Palace themes in Persona 5 (vanilla, I haven't listened to the Royal ones yet, I am almost done with the Ark and it's... aight)
All of these would be perfect for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to play on Mementos.
Welcome to the Jail
Loving Wonderland
Duplicitous Devil's Castle
Counterfeit Phantom
Anti HERO
Would all be fantastic as original tracks. Voracious Waltz would need a New Remix.
Yeah, Sapporo's Jail theme isn't as catchy as the others.
I'm also not into Techno Music, but, Anti HERO is the exception. I want Zenkichi Hasegawa in Smash with these tracks along with Take Over, Counterstrike, You Are Stronger, Demiurge and The Scramble Remixes of Last Surprise and RITD. Singularity wouldn't really work in Smash. His Classic Mode would be called "Painful Past", like the Painful Past Requests.
@@luxrayblast well the only issue is they had our beginning to avoid spoilers... and i dont think demiurge has one of those themes
man still can't get over the fact that counterfeit phantom is a remix of wake up get up get out there
This does not seem to be an opinion that many hold, but I really like Duplicitous Devil's Castle from the Sendai Jail. It also reminds me of some other sound tracks, although I cannot remember exactly what they would be.
The picture of the Shibuya jail says something that I didn’t really notice. It’s like Alice is sucking the life out of the rest of Shibuya
when i heard konoes jail theme for the first time i almost lost it bc it is so good
I can't decide if I prefer Singularity or Counterfeit Phantom... the former gives me Resident Evil 2 Remake vibes, the latter gives me Ghost of Tsushima vibes.
I think I will choose Singularity! It's chill and make me a little bit sad!
The tree of knowledge of good and evil also known as the tree of life (Sephiroth)
And in Persona 5, SPOILERS.
The last area is named Qlipoth World, which is the exact opposite of the Sephiroth
When the boss fight started in the Kyoto jail I was really hoping I would get to control all of the characters against themselves,
I love the aesthetics of the Sendai Jail and Sapporo Jail. Halloween themed, then suddenly Winter themed.
I love the hell out of alice’s jail theme
ngl I kinda wish Welcome to the Jail Another Version was in between Counterfeit Phantom and Anti HERO.
I think the song plays it outside Osaka Jail as well.
@@Ardnux Anti HERO is the Osaka jail theme, which is why I said it should before that.
EDIT: It just occurred to me that you might have thought I was talking about the game. Just to be clear, I was talking about this video lol.
Voracious Waltz is, hands down, the best for me.
Before Singularity: Only one really vibin palace theme so far.
Singularity: do I have to finish this Jail?
My only complaint about the palace themes is that when you go sideways, the music suddenly takes a hit and you lose like an entire 3 instruments. Like Why?! Let us listen to your awesome soundtrack goddammit!
Idk, I like the sidescroller versions too. Makes you appreciate the beat and bass lines more.
@@DopeioThePhoneBoi That's true. But For me, it kinda dampens my groove. Like your getting super into it!.. then it just cuts like half of the other instruments and you just feel like you were cut short.
Probably so you can focus lnao
12:16 looks something straight out of a feudal Japan setting I LOVE IT!
Okinawa was my favorite theme for the game
Here's my personal ranking of these, from "worst" to best:
(Note that these are all great, not a single one of these I'd consider even mediocre.)
9 - Duplicitious Devils Castle (Sendai): Sets the mood nicely, but it does lack the catchiness that all other themes have.
8 - Tower of Life (Tree of Knowledge): A nice endgame tune, it really does pump you up for the finale. Shame the dungeon itself was a bit on the shorter side.
7 - Jail in Abyss (Abyss): Now it's already getting hard. I like this one because, like Freedom and Security in P5, it managed to capture the sadness of apathy and captivity. I also enjoy how they used dissonant chords in here.
6 - Welcome to the Jail: This theme is great. It sounds very ominous and intimidating, but in a badass "Yeah, let's do this!" kinda way. I especially like the imposing part at the beginning that repeats a few times, where they imitate a prison alarm with guitars. I associate it with the shots of Joker looking over the transformed cities, facing the coming madness head-on.
5 - Eating Waltz (Sapporo): There's nothing like a 3/4 time signature. I like the quieter quirky parts of this one the most, but the grandioseness of it all definitely fits the Jail and its ruler. Love that they made the beginning sound like The Nutcracker.
4 - Counterfeit Phantom (Kyoto): Man, I love classical japanese instruments. They always bring a fun vibe to whatever song they're in. This one is no exception. It starts quiet and sneakily, just like the Jail it belongs to, but quickly grows to become a groovy and fun-filled jam, with some great musical callbacks to "Wake Up, Get Up, Get out there" which makes sense, considering Zenkichis Awakening happens here.
3 - Love te Wonderland (Shibuya): Yes, the literal horny jail gets top 3 treatment from me. I love everything about this theme; it's fun, catchy, quirky, and conveys its themes perfectly! I really like how it has some music box sounds in there, really captures the weird creepy carnival theme they went for. I also love how it starts with a record scratch. DJ Alice is gonna liven up this party!
2 - Singularity (Okinawa): Do I even need to say why this theme is incredible? The sad violin, the guitar that sounds like it's screaming into the darkness, the complete tonal shift from what came before, the intense percussion. It just all beatifully encapsulates the fear of the unknown you feel while delving into this place, that grows and grows with each recording you listen to.
1 - Anti Hero (Osaka): Osaka's Jail is utterly fantastic from beginning to end. The design, the story behind it, the ruler and his backstory, I love everything about them. And Anti Hero might be my favourite dungeon theme from any game. It's so intense, high energy and pumps you up, while also really hammering home the fact that the person it belongs to sees himself as an undisputed hero of justice, who rules over a cybernetic utopia.
So yeah, this soundtrack is kinda good.
Thanks for reading!
Love the very detailed review. I think we may have the same top 3 as well since Osaka's theme is epic for me, Singularity is that mystery/dark tone, and Shibuya has that catchy/gets you into exploration feeling and great way to begin the new game in my opinion. I see you have the Persona 5 / Royal palaces themes as well. love the new mementos layer theme tho and final palace theme as it really feels the end.
2:13 idk what’s with me and themes like this, but it’s admittedly my favorite Jail theme.

*Note that the Welcome to the Jail played in this video is the version from akira's jail exclusively, not the whole game. The guitar solo is not there in the origional. Still love it tho 🎸
Im suprised to see im not the odd one out for liking Singularity the most out of all of the jail themes
Everyone in the comments talking about their favourite jail theme and how good they ALL are
Except Sapporo lol
Some of these songs actually give me Kingdom Hearts vibes
I was gonna say something about Monarchs and changing hearts but I'm not clever enough for that
Absolutely
Like Sapporo right?
@@sonicdcm3493 exactly! When I first played it, I thought I was playing kingdom hearts instead of persona 5
Kyoto, Tree of Knowledge, and ANTI Hero are the best ones, don’t @ me.
Tree of Life jail has a relaxed tone. Sure, the metaverse is close to merging with the real world and since its part metaverse, the phantom thieves can't leave because they'd be in the same place; but its also the realisation that you are going to fight the final boss and halt the fusing. Its calming in a way knowing you can save all of humanity.
Imagine if Akechi and Sumire saw this they'd probably be like here we go again 😧
Welcome to the Jail is still such a banger theme man
Atlus: its just a another Persona 5 spin off, the music doesn't have to go that hard
Composer:
This will probably make some p5S fans mad, but personally, I like Akane and konoe jail themes the most. Hope this doesn't make anyone else annoyed.
*P5R spoiler warning*

Is it just me or does the last jail's theme song has similar vibe to maruki's palace? Or it bc of the piano?
I like to think it’s a mix of Naoto and Maruki Palace/dungeon
The only similarly is the piano
Well Royal and Strikers were developed along side one another so they took a lot of influence from one another. A lot of people forget but Japan got both games roughly 4 months apart which is extremely close together for the same series.
I SWEAR TO GOD- 3:27 I thought I heard Lights Camera Action in there-
My ranking:
9: Welcome to the Jail
8: Tower of Life
7: Voracious Waltz
6: Loving Wonderland
5: Jail in Abyss
4: Anti HERO
3: Duplicitous Devil's Castle
2: Counterfeit Phantom
1: Singularity
The Kyoto one is so good, its just a shame that the jail is so short
The fun thing is Welcome to the Jail gets more detailed with each further Jail.
The five jail theme is my favourite
Loving Wonderland was the best theme and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.
渋谷ジェイルが1番好きや
(My opinion)
9: Sapporo jail
8: jail of the abyss
7: welcome to the jail
6: kyoto jail
5: tree of knowledge
4: Shibuya jail
3: Okinawa jail
1: osaka and sendai are top 1 for me
Jail in the abyss is so good its criminal and the counterfeit phantom them and the way it portrays forehead girl’s love of the phantom thief in it while being its own theme
Also wonderland is cool
Edit: I forgot anti hero, but how damn good the dungeon and the music was.
Edit: also forgot singularity, the music amazing, mystery is anazing and yeah
Ranking would be
9. The snowy one
8. The one wit da dragon
7. The jail entering theme
6. Tree of life
5. Wonderland
4. singularity
3. Anti-Hero
2. Abyss jail
1. Counterfeit phantom
Why is everything after the Kyoto jail so God damn good man
Probably a controversial opinion but these are all better than Persona 5's jail themes
Except Sapporo jail it's not quite there, still great though
4:30 welcome to Hogwarts
Kyoto and Okinawa are just perfect
My rankings
1st - Okinawa
2nd - Kyoto
3rd - Osaka
4th - Tree of Knowledge
5th - Jail of Abyss
6th - Shibuya
7th - Sendai
8th - Sapporo
Does anyone else get Trauma Centre/Team vibes from 'Tower of Life'?
Nobody givin jail abyss credit
7:01 I feel like I walked into a Disney movie
Am I the only one who gets major Gentle Madman vibes from the final jails music?
It's easy to tell that Shoji left just by listening to these songs. The only Jail themes that sound like they were composed by Shoji Meguro is Jail of the Abyss (My 3rd fav) and Tower of life (2nd Fav). With that being said, a lot of the people here are ranking those 2 wayy lower than the others which is a relief for the future of Persona if they keep these new composers. But I'm only saying this based on the rankings of the comments on this video
The first one is fire ngl
