    Fun fact: Lyn, the singer, doesn't speak a word of English. That's why some of her pronunciation and annunciation seems a bit off. She was getting coached both on how to literally sing the lyrics, as well as how to perform them in terms of emotional delivery and emphasis. Her performance only becomes even more impressive knowing that!

      The only Japanese singers I know to speak English well are Hikaru Utada and Rie Fu (singer of the first Bleach ending, Life is like a Boat). From what I have heard, at least one of those two lived abroad for a time.
      ETA: For clarification, I believe this is more to do with the timeline in which we develop our accents (iirc it's 8-10 years) and Japan's culture of refraining from doing things that they do not consider themselves good at in public if they do not have to do so. As a personal example, I have a blended accent due to international moves in the years prior to the accent developmental deadline. After this, it becomes very difficult to accurately produce sounds that do not exist in our native language.

  • @The_Jantof
    @The_Jantof ปีที่แล้ว +320

    You mentioned the lack of resolve at the end. It's because this isn't a stand alone track in the game but actually a combat theme for a late game boss. It doesn't resolve because it doesn't actually end, it's written to seamlessly loop to the beginning of the track. It would be jarring to the gameplay if the song just restarted, so they make it seamless in order to keep the flow of gameplay from being disrupted by the song.
    This song also has the video game trope of "Oh no, there's lyrics!" You know it's gonna be a major boss fight when vocals come in. This song actually plays instrumental only when it first appears in game, then when the boss fight ramps up to a higher stage the lyrics kick in to further drive the energy. It's a very common trope in games these days, but it's also a very effective way for the music to help sync with the particular strengths of gaming as an interactive medium.

    @chandlerholloway2047 ปีที่แล้ว +639

    So, a little context for when this song plays: It's during a boss fight that has incredibly deep meaning for the main character. When the fight starts, you don't have every piece of the song. Some instruments and vocals are missing, and as you progress through the fight, you steadily gain them. The song is about surmounting the insurmountable, doing the seemingly impossible...such as creating rivers in the desert. It is reflected in the fight; your mettle is tested, and you have to apply all of the knowledge that 30+ hours of gameplay has given you in order to overcome this obstacle. It is not easy, you're fighting for every inch, and when the deed is done, and you emerge victorious -- that's when it hits you. That wasn't his boss music. It was yours.
    This piece is honestly a work of art that speaks to the narrative of the game, and your little group's motivations; framing what you are really trying to accomplish here. It's phenomenal, and I have endless praise for it.

      To add to this, the first song he listened to (Last Surprise) is for the average every day combat. Life Will Change is for the normal bosses. This song, Rivers in the Dessert, is for the truly dangerous final bosses. The songs almost sort of escalate with the game.
      Another note is that you first head Rivers in the Dessert WITHOUT lyrics. You have to get about halfway through the boss fight before the lyrics kick in.

      @@sharlesdaviskendy2391 Very good summary but a small correction is that life will change is the approach to your objective in the game which is the treasure whilst blooming villains is your standard boss fight music. Keeper of Lust in addition to this is your average mid boss music.

    This track never fails to hype me up when they drop it in game.
    Persona is king when it comes to setting the mood with it's music, like the theme "Beneath the Mask" which plays when you explore the town at night. Bonus points if it's a rainy night.
    The anime, while poorly received, had some good original tracks as well, such as the opening theme "Dark Sun". Dark Sun goes pretty hard; would recommend.
    Same vocalist for each of the aforementioned tracks, of course.
    ...
    As for what the game is about.... It's Persona, so it's complicated.
    In P5, specifically, the protagonist is a teenager wrongly accused of a crime. He then discovers that he has the power to enter a parallel world, in which the human subconscious manifests. There is an over-world that is formed by a culturally shared subconscious. And people with particularly twisted hearts form their own "palaces", which are shaped around their desires and the way they view their position in the world.
    The protagonist, who is now a societal underdog, gathers like-minded people to assault these palaces. Taking on the guise of thieves, the gang threatens to "steal the hearts" of wrong-doers. While that action is a physical deed within the cognitive realm, the result within reality is a "change of heart", where the person recognizes the error of their ways, and confesses to their crimes.
    The story really takes off when your gang of self-proclaimed "thieves" get the attention of mainstream media, the police, and corrupt political figures.
    There are a few twists and turns, and the side plots are fun slices of drama, but that basically summarizes the plot, without giving too much away.

    Glad you liked it! Basically, it's about being a high school student who lives two lives. In one, he has to behave as a normal student and live his every day life healthily and happily, and in the other he dons the title of a "phantom thief" with his other phantom thief friends. Their secret operation involves infiltrating the minds of people with distorted desires so to speak. They invade their minds, which take shape in a physical form. And what they need to do is steal the symbol of their distorted desires (hence the thief) which will cause that awful person to have a change of heart. They do this to get back at the horrible corrupt adults who do them harm.

Personal favourites for me are "Wake up, Get up, Get out there", "Rivers in the Desert", "I Believe" (P5R), "Last Surprise", "Take Over" (P5R), and "Colors Flying High" (P5R). Even some of the themes without lyrics are amazing. I personally love "Our Beginning" as well.

    Yeah, all Persona 5 songs are this good. The Whims of Fate, Price, and Wake Up Get Up Get Out There stand out as some fan favorites, but there's I'd also recommend listening to the Persona 5 Strikers soundtrack because Daredevil and Counterstrike are amazing, and there's also rock versions of Last Surprise and Rivers in the Desert that you can listen to in your own time! From Persona 5 Royal, I Believe and No More What Ifs are really good. Also, Road Less Taken is from another spinoff game but it goes really hard and includes three different singers from three different Persona games including Lynn so WOOO plenty of options

  • @gamingwithritz632
    @gamingwithritz632 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    In the most basic way to say what persona 5 is about is.
    It's about overcoming the evil and darkness that can take over peoples hearts and mind because of the effects life and society have on us. Finding confidants and people to trust in and to help you overcome your own darkness as well.
    This song specifically takes place during a very important boss fight that kinda sums a lot of the goals the Phantom Thieves (name of the hero group) are trying to achieve. The world has discounted so much and accepted life as it is, but they stand against it all
    Add some anime/JRPG story beats in and you have Persona

    This soundtrack is really amazing, but hearing it on TH-cam and experiencing it in the game are two COMPLETELY different experiences.
    In the videogame this soundtrack appears during all the major boss battles, but when you get to what at the time we are led to believe is the final boss battle-the soundtrack completely changes.
    The reason for this is because that supposed final boss battle actually has about 3-4 different stages, and the soundtrack does something during each of those stages that it didn’t do before in any of the other previous boss battles: it adds a new instrument when you defeat each of his stages until you get the complete version that you hear in this video.
    When the lyrics first popped up my jaw hit the floor and they perfectly capsulate the events unfolding during that boss battle.

    Interesting observation. I've watched about a dozen of these "(Insert Professional) Reacts to Rivers In the Desert" videos, and it never ceases to amaze me that even some of the harshest critics have been outright baffled by the reason HOW this song works so well together. If you listen to the Persona 5 Royale OST (the updated version), you'll begin to realize that the game and the narrative are inextricably tied together with the music. The story is phenomenal, but the music coupled with the narrative genius pushes P5R into a tier of art that few games have been able to achieve.
    One interesting fact, Lyn Inaizumi has a vocal range that is less desirable in Japanese markets because she is a Mezzo-Saprano. This caused her to struggle to find gigs for a quite a while, but then she found her home. Her voice is perfectly suited for Jazz, Blues, and Soul, which is EXACTLY the feel and vibe that P5 (P5R) were trying to accomplish. Talk about destined by fate.

    One of my favorite tracks from this game! I'm so glad he is delving into video game music, I really hope he gets recommended Nier Automata music at some point and ends up listening to it, Persona 5 music is so good but it unfortunately lost out to one other game for Best Music of 2017 for gaming and that was Nier Automata! They use a dialect that is composed of a lot of the worlds languages that are mixed together to make a whole new language, yet the vocals are still able to convey every emotion it's trying to deliver with such accuracy even though the listener has no idea what the lyrics are saying. It'd be nice for a keen ear for music to listen and notice all the other intricacies in the music that a noob myself could never find or describe. A few songs in particular that would be awesome for a react;
    1) Amusement Park
    2) A Beautiful Song
    3) City Ruins (Ray of Light) and/or City Ruins (Shade) [ Both Insanely Good ]
    4) Birth of a Wish
    Honorable Mention, particularly since this one will be recommended a lot;
    - Weight of the World [ Song has a lot of versions, three noteworthy ones being English Version, Version by Marina Kawano, and lastly Nouveau FR Version ]

      Oh, my bad, I didn't remember that the Cinderella fight had RitD.
      And yeah, you're not ready after 1 playthrough, that's why Lavenza is only available in NG+.
      And yeah, she's tough, but Royal lets you have the previous DLC Personas, and they can be busted. And the only still hard part is the crits phase.
      While I'm at it, a quick rundown of the fight to help you:
      -first phase, use at least one elemental super effective skill each turn. Easy to pass, as it's easy to read which element you need based on the last Persona she used.
      -second phase: at least one crit per turn, a hard phase. You might want to use Yusuke or Sumire there, since they have good crit stats and skills.
      -third phase: inflict at least one status ailment per turn. You can use items there, so you're relatively safe. Prefer sleep, as it has the biggest list of possible techincal elements for a One More.
      4th phase: go ham, no restrictions.
      And make it quick, you only have 8 turns per phase.
      Personally, I simply used Izanagi-no-Ogami Picaro there because I needed some damage and after a 2nd playthrough, you still haven't got the teammates very far in terms of hp and sp with the jazz club.

As a result, he has to transfer schools and live in the equivalent of a probation house. After some anime-like shenanigans, he discovers that he and his new friends have the ability to enter the minds of others and forcibly remove their immoral/carnal desires, making them so overwhelmingly guilty, that they confess to their crimes.

    To describe it a little more, it's about a group of high schoolers who gain the ability to enter people's hearts and see how they view the world. They find several adult authority figures who are evil and twisted, and by stealing the source of their corruption/twisted worldview, they can remove the evil from their heart. They go on a series of heists in the dream world to save people who are being abused from the bad folks who are using their positions of power to oppress others.
