since you asked this game is a supernatural adventure of a group of teens in japan who fight corruption in society by changing the hearts of distorted individuals. It is one of my favourite games of all time and the best rpg in my opinion. Not only is the music Fantastic but the story and art style are also amazing.
i also recommend trying songs from persona 5:strikers. persona 5 has more j-pop songs whereas p5:strikers(semi sequel) has j-rock songs
If you think you've heard funky, you ain't heard nothing yet. Check out Persona 5 OST Freedom and Security... now that is funky!
Can you analyze or react to any of 4 of the live concert from "Bocchi The Rock!" perhaps?
The game is a life simulator/JRPG with a anime astetic
The biggest takeaway is that this is the BATTLE THEME. The song that plays almost every time you go into a battle.
Well, if you don’t change outfits, I always love to mix it up, but tbf, I come back to this cuz it’s so good
@@silver7215 I think you can only change the music in Royal though
@@trots4940 maybe, I’ve only played Royal and not vanilla P5, so idk tbh
if you play Royal, chances are the theme you will be hearing the most is Take Over which is the newly-added Ambush theme, cuz the game very much encourages you to always ambush the enemy. i actually like Last Surprise more (dont dislike Take Over, just prefer Last Surprise way more) but because the game never makes it too hard to ambush the enemy, i barely got to hear my favourite track until i caved and used a mod to switch the two themes so Last Surprise became the ambush theme instead and viceversa so i could hear it pretty much 99% of times lol
@@friendbreakfast this is the only reason i havent played royal. tho a mod like that kinda makes me want too
Persona is such an amazing series and the P5 soundtrack in particular is hands down the best music I've ever heard in a video game. The game itself just OOOZES style from the art direction, to the music, to the UI and even gameplay. Beyond just the music it's well worth a play if you have the inclination and time to do so!
I love the strange feeling of P3 music, I adore the funky style of P4 music BUT P5 IS SO GOOD, it’s the best, especially along with the game’s menu/gameplay style!
@@Chiavica I'm also fairly sure Tony will like 5's music the best
@@Chiavica Why do some people call P4's music funk? It's like pop and rock, but there's not much funk, if any, in p4.
Although i think persona 5 perfectly and majestically fits every situation it's used in game. I still prefer p3 then p4 then p5, but barelly. Persona 5 is a masterfully crafted game, everything is so many levels above most other games.
I prefer p3's but p5 is still really good
Persona is a game about fighting demons, in the most simple form of explanation. The series is long known for having some of the strongest stylistic direction in both art and music, and each game's style is fully unique. Persona 5 leans in hard on jazz and the color red, and themes itself around "cat burglars" and "phantom thieves". The soundtrack is truly special and I hope you listen to more of the songs as I liked hearing your insights on this battle theme & would like to know more about what stands out to you in the composition based on your experience as a director.
20% fighting demons using demon powers, 80% flirting with girls and making coffee
"a game about fighting demons" that's SMT, not Persona
@@Demi-Joker Thats just an easy description for people who dont know the series. Everybody has an immediate understanding, "Shadows" not so much.
@@Demi-Joker Its a one paragraph explanation for someone who doesn't know persona. Yeah, its a game about fighting demons and dealing with society's issues.
And Persona 4 leans on J-pop/J-rock and color yellow. And the story is inspired by murder mysteries
and Persona 3 is all about Rap-Rock Nu-Metal and color blue. The story very much so inspired by the Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I'd say River in the Desert, Life will Change, I believe, Throw Away Your Mask, Beneath Mask, when my mother was there, whims of fate, poem for everyone's soul, take over, swear to my bones, price, layer cake, butterfly kiss, our light, wake up get up get out there, layer cake, and colors flying high are some great great songs. Glad you're getting into persona 5. Amazing ost
All of these picks 👍
and don't forget the 'Our Light' one of the best
This man said “listen to EVERYTHING”… and honestly, I agree lol
@@afroman9541 You gotta admit the entire soundtrack is an absolute banger lol.
Its impossible to be in a bad mood when listening to behind the mask, chillest song on earth
This OST is really awesome!! Also would you believe that THIS is a battle theme? This song was engraved in my head across the 200+ hours spent in this game
Indeed, and strange eneugh the Strikers remix is even better!
@@weertangel7231 "What if Last Surprise was a metal song?"
@@HollowGolem The remix IS :)
@Weertangel agreed! The alremixes for Strikers are somewhat put of left field but boy do they slap just as hard as the originals!!
@@weertangel7231 that's the point of the reply...
I love the vocalist on this OST. IIRC she doesn't speak any english so she had to learn the songs by sounding them out. It makes for a very unique and beautiful performance.
Man Persona 5 ost never gets old, it is so damn catchy!
If you like the persona 5 OST, I highly recommend the other games OST's in the series. Especially persona 3 and 2 but pretty much all of the Shin Megami Tensei as a whole has really good music.
I was gonna say I personally recommend Persona 4 Golden’s OST, so damn good
@@GianGianThaDon p4 ost is my favorite of the entire franchise, I love it so much
Aside from some... things that call themself music.
What even us Burning Men's Soul?
@@seiy_ Same! The storyline just gets you connected to the team on an emotional level. Even characters like Nanako felt like an actual kid sister lol. Kanji looking almost identical to my all time favourite, Kenpachi from Bleach, made me love the game even more 🤣🤣🤣
Shoji Meguro is god
as a drummer, you'd really like Butterfly Kiss from persona 5. Really really cool beat turnaround, super funky tune.
That section in the song where the time signature changes is just amazing
true
Actually it’s funny because the vocalist is totally Japanese but her English is incredible for a Japanese person
i thought she's a black singer
She actually doesn’t speak a word of English, she was coached on how to pronounce the words and on where to emphasize stuff but she doesn’t know what the words she is singing means which actually makes her performance more impressive!
@@kaia7208probably u watch GaMetal vídeo
and she even sounds like an americanafrican woman's accent
@@aidanlynch10I have never really understood this, I’m a native English speaker and her pronunciation is pretty hard to understand. It’s really good for a Japanese speaker but nowhere near sounds native.
I don’t care how long persona 6 takes as long as this level of perfection across-the-board like it was in persona five
The whole soundtrack is nothing but bangers. Another favorite of mine is "The Whims of Fate" which is actually the theme of one of the dungeons, of all things! Said dungeon takes the form of a giant casino, and just oozes with style. It also has the best chill town theme ever in "Beneath the Mask".
Persona is a game series where you play as a high schooler with a double-life. On one hand you have to balance a normal everyday life (hanging out with friends, doing part-time jobs, going to school, etc.) and on the other there's something supernatural afoot and you have to band together with your friends to figure out what's going on and that's when the "persona" stuff comes into play. Really enjoyable franchise, I'm sure people in the comments will be talking about Shin Megami Tensei as well, which is kind of the main series, Persona is more of a spin-off. The music from all of these games is great, Shoji Meguro kills it every time (in my opinion) and as for other songs to check out I'd recommend something like Life Will Change or Rivers in the Desert, both of which are equally as iconic as Last Surprise.
P2: Eternal Punishment be like...
@@dantecrailman8861 I actually haven't played either Persona 2 so I have no idea if there's anything different about them, I only really have knowledge of 3, 4 and 5. I'd like to find out how to get a hold of the game and play it, I've been told it's the best game in the series.
Don’t forget about Lotus Juice. He’s been writing the vocals for the series, and it’s always a blast when he brings in own rap lines.
@@chadsensei for context, in p1 and p2, shadows were everyware and you dont living much of a double life, they are much closer to smt
@@minimanbeast1014 That makes sense, thanks for clarifying.
4:10 The game is basically a fantasy heist movie. Well, series of heists. It starts in medias res as a casino job goes wrong and is mostly told in flashback. Its' soundtrack pulls heavily from this neo-disco/funk fusion kind of sound (there's also jazz, electronic, and other styles mixed in).
The tracks I recommend to people interested in the soundtrack are "Life Goes On," "Layer Cake," "Whims of Fate," "Beneath the Mask," "Tokyo Daybreak," "Price," and "Rivers in the Desert," which covers a pretty wide range of the sound in the game. But the whole damn soundtrack is great. Shoji Meguro, the composer, has worked on a lot of games for Atlus (Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, both Digital Devil Saga games, and Persona 3-5), and he tries to do something different in each soundtrack. Persona 3 has a hip-hop/r&b/soul kind of eel, Persona 4 takes elements of pop-punk and his Shin Megami Tensei/Digital Devil Saga soundtracks are more rock/electronic oriented. But he's absolutely one of the best composers in gaming.
The composer Shoji Meguro is one of the best composer's I heard, makes the persona games have some of the best soundtracks in gaming, persona 3 is a cool mix of rock and hip hop, persona 4 is a little more poppy and persona 5 just oozes this acid jazz to make my 2nd favourite soundtrack behind cowboy bebop. I'm glad you're finally listening to some persona, cause there's a ton of awesome stuff here
Don’t know if anyone has talked about this, but the singer Lyn, doesn’t actually speak English. She sung the songs for the original Japanese versions, and when it came time to find a singer for the English version, she just did it herself. (At least for strikers) She would get a English demo reel, and go over it a few times and record all the English vocals. Absolutely brilliant
I could be wrong, so give me a source if so, but I was under the impression that the Japanese and international releases all use the same soundtrack. For all the Persona games.
@@phntmthf5505 Yeah I do believe that was an error on my part, but it still stands true that Lyn doesn't speak English
@@watercolor4725 yup
@@phntmthf5505 Yeah the devs even said they went English with the songs so Japanese players wouldn't be distracted by the lyrics since it's background music, plus English is cool to Japanese people. They were focusing on Japan first rather than international, even though it's ironically in English haha
The only songs ever done in Japanese are the ending music like キミの記憶 in Persona 3, Never More in Persona 4, 星と僕らと in Persona 5, etc.
so glad to have some Persona 5 reactions now that I'm replaying the game. My favorite songs are "Life Will Change" and "Infinity" from the anime, could also be very nice if we could get "Wake up, get up, get out there" as that's the opening song from the base game. Maybe also "Colors Flying High" (opening of the remaster) and "Take Over" (battle theme of the remaster, like Last Surprise). "Beneath the Mask" is also a fan favorite
Is p5r much of a remaster, its closer to an ultimate adition with an "extra" end game, just like p3fes and p4g in there og releasez
Yeah and mass destruction ps3 time to make history ps4g and the whims of fate, blood of villen, blooming villen, p5 and ps q2 op is really fun especially when (komashida starts rapping that made it my favorite op) and the ps4d op
love ur videos man. its intriguing and wholesome seeing an outside-experienced-perspective appreciating this music
I really hope you do the entire Persona 5 ost as well as Royal
i really like striker's ost too
@@shauryasuri3653 Striker's does have some good songs Daredevil and Counter Strike are a jam
@@greenblade91 and what do you wish for
@@greenblade91 crossover is top tier
Whoever played the bass for the whole OST.... Flat out killed it. This games whole OST is AMAZING
The music of Persona 5 is so incredible. This particular song always makes me happy when I hear it. I love that bass line. As for the game, it is really hard to describe. It is like playing a wild ass anime for 120+ hours and it is amazing.
FINALLY, cant wait for more Persona soundtracks!
EXCITED FOR THIS ONE! Love P5 OST
I'd recommend doing these with the Persona 5 Strikers (Scramble) variations at the same time, they've redone the main songs to fit a different style and is really cool to see them side by side
Love the Persona series music. There's also an awesome metal rendition of this song in Persona 5 Strikers.
My favorite bass lick from this game is in a song called Tokyo Daylight.
I’m so happy to see you react to Persona 5! I absolutely love the soundtrack and it’s such an amazing series.
Man I love these breakdowns of iconic tracks from so many different media styles, absolutely fantastic music hidden away in so many genres
holy shit, this is one of the best birthday presents I could ask for, can't wait for you to react to other persona/SMT stuff in the future.
2017 really gave us Nier Automata and Persona 5 🤯. Some of the best gaming OSTs of all time.
Peaceful Sleep is personally my favourite from Nier Automata!
and Yakuza 0 w DAMEDANE
And gravity rush 2
Don't forget hollow knight and breath of the wild! Two of the greatest games ever made with perfect osts too
@@CalIunnA Hat In Time, also released in 2017, has a fantastic OST.
I love this song so much that I actually turned part of it (right before the vocals kick in) as my ringtone.
The soundtrack from Persona 3 and 4 definitely are memorable too, but Persona 5 just hits way different.
I listened to this song a hundred times and only noticed the hand drums because you mentioned them. Amazing
Actually did a double take when i saw what song you were listening to. This ost is amazing all around but i recommend "Rivers in a desert", "Beneath the mask" and "Wake up, Get up, Get out there" as particular stand out songs. Great video man
omg YEEEEEES!!!!! Alleycat and Layer Cake are my favourite tracks! I love this game, the music is out of this world.
As much as I love Last Surprise, my personal favorite is Life Will Change and I’d love to see a reaction from you of that song!
Surprised it took you this long to get to Persona to be honest. Consistently amazing soundtracks.
Oh yes. Let’s watch this
Upd after watching:
Oooooooh what a treat of a song and what a great reaction as always, my dude. My favorite thing in music is when it captures some pure essence of something: emotion, feeling, idea, maybe even some process, you get the picture. And this one - oh boy. I think this one is the embodiment of one of the best feelings there could be - it’s “gotcha” feeling. Something activating your trap card, you being 2-4-10 steps ahead and just being the most smooth about it as well. Of course, lyrics of the song are about that, but the groove supports this idea tenfold. The drop executed perfectly before chorus, and this dance between voice and melody, when voice is 5-steps and then a long spin of a harmony and melody goes around that spin with progressions, it just springs so many pictures in my mind and I love it. Amongst them is even the feeling of a receiving side, the one that got outplayed: yes, you lost, but how god damn beautifully you lost.
And, in the background of all that, very offtopic for most of you… as in life I’m really not a competitive player, I for some reason imagine sudoku as a sudoku fan. Of course I’m not talking about ordinary stuff, but when you crack some teethbreaking convoluted rule set and it all unveils finally and you just fly through this wonderful, wonderful puzzle, this song is quite close to the feeling. It’s more of me thinking how puzzle constructor came up with ideas as such and just imagining how much stands behind this solved puzzle.
Once again, loved every bit of it abd your reaction, thanks for the content!
Tony entered the rabbit hole. Now there's no way back. All 5 Games are overflowing with banger songs, always changing genre/vibe between games. Even the spin-off titles have banger OSTs. Looking forward to more Persona.
I've seen a lot of music professionals do reviews but as a marching, concert, and jazz band nerd (bass guitar baby!) I'm SO GLAD I found your channel. I had a super good relationship with my band director even after I graduated. I fucking love the terminology we throw around. tasty bass, rhythm section love!
second favorite part of this song other than the bass is the kick drum, da-dum dum dum
Welcome in. 🙏 the more musicians in here the better
Go back as much as you want! I could listen to this all day!
Yesssss, the whole P5 OST is so funky I love it. One of my personal favorites is Rivers in the Desert, it has some distortion throughout which makes it feel more rock or metal but it still has that funk to it. Definitely recommend
I was waiting so long for this video 🔥
OH SHIT! I low-key was going to recommend you some of persona 5 ost! A big part of the game's popularity is due to the ost.
I'd recommend you to check :
Whims of Fate
Life will Change
Beneath The Mask
A River in a Desert
They are among the most well known and best ost of the game, thanks for the video!
rivers in the desert*
yes all of those and throw away your mask
HERE WE GOOOOOO !! PLEASE DO BLOOMING VILLAIN NEXT !!
Thanks for the review ~
Your Editing skills are improving! Good stuff Tony🤌
I added a bunch of the songs of the game to my Spotify playlist. They’re so good!
I just finished Persona 5 Royal for the first time and the whole game is just stylish.. everything from graphics to music is so unique. Combine this with stellar storytelling, lovable characters and fun fights while listening to these banger soundtracks makes it a brilliant gaming experience.
Persona 5 is THE REASON why I’m in the music industry. This game changed mine, and many others’ hearts
FINALLY, been waiting so long for p5 reaction
YES THANK YOU!! You should definitely also check out ':what you wish for", one of my personal favourites, among many other tracks from this entire series series (at least Persona 3 and 4 for more funky stuff)
Persona series is basically scooby doo with supernatural mysteries solved by high school teens, it’s also a dating simulator, inspired by tarot cards and Carl Jung. Did I mention an animal mascot is on the team?
The music is so good whenever I have friends over I have a p5 theme for my ps4 that plays the instrumental of beneath the mask they always enjoy it. Fantastic soundtrack everybody should enjoy
I would love to see you react to Serpent Eating the Ground from Bravely Default, it's an amazing piece and there's even an orchestral version on youtube, I literally watch that video every 6 months or so and I'm always in awe. If you decide to watch it maybe listen to the 4 main character themes on your own or something, the song includes bits of the 4 main themes so you appreciate the song more after listening to all of them and seeing how they are incorporated
Life Will Change is another banger, you gotta get to it; also ik really liking the editing, idk if it’s always been like this or if it’s just improved or smth but it looks great
I've been looking forward to when you get into Persona! I recommend "The Battle for Everyone's Souls" it's my favorite track across all Persona games :)
Yessss. Been waiting for this one
This song comes out of nowhere as the first battle theme setting the tone for the entire OST moving forward
Let’s goooooooo. I was thinking that I’d love for you to listen to some Persona tracks.
Finally you react this game 💀. It's just weird this game with the best ost not on your channel. And now the journey Begins
LOL thats funny. Yeahhhh waited way too long
@@DrumRollTonyReacts indeed 💀. Anyway. I think you need at some point react to the universal song of Persona. It's called the Poem for Everyone Souls.
This OST is in all of the Persona Series (more precisely is in 3-5, the 1 and 2 are quite different since these two were released in the late 90). It's like the identity of the series. Since also this OST put on the iconic aspect of the series.
You can just hear the Persona 5 version since technically is the same as 3 and 4.
If you're not mind for the little spoiler. It's put on the scene called Velvet Room and this Velvet Room is one of the iconic from the entire series of Persona.
I'll stop there. I hope it'll take your consideration for reacting to it in the future.
prepare to listen to a lot of Persona music, Tony.
I recommend Life Will Change, Layer Cake, Butterfly Kiss, and Rivers in the Desert
Its finallyn here, cant wait for rivers in the desert and specialist
Its a JRPG and this is actually the battle theme so you fight demons in the subconscious hearts of evil people to this damn good tune.
Persona 5, Persona 5 Royal, and Persona 5 Strikers have some of my favorite video game song *ever*. I Believe, from the finale of Royal, is my absolute favorite video game song.
Love this, I can't wait for Rivers in a Desert.
This is a bop. And to think this is a standard battle theme.
Oh man Persona 5, and really Persona in general, is a great rabbit whole to go down musically so many great tracks. Personally I'd recommend either "Layer Cake" or "Butterfly Kiss" from the P5 OST next
The bass in this is just fire. All over the strings.
You can literally throw a dart at the Persona soundtracks and you won't miss, it's great tracks all the way down. P3, P4, and P5 are all just incredible.
I'd definitely recommend the intros (P3: Burn My Dread; P4: Pursuing My True Self; P4G: Shadow World; P5: Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There; P5$: Colors Flying High) as an obvious starting point.
Personal favourites: Aria/Hymn of the Soul is *the* iconic Persona song used through the games, P5: Beneath The Mask, Whims of Fate, Price, Rivers in the Desert (do the instrumental first, then the vocal version like the game presents them for full effect); P4: Like a Dream Come True, Heaven, Reach out to the Truth; P3: When the Moon Reaches for the Stars, Iwotodai Dorm, Mass Destruction.
And this is me trying to really cut it down, there is *so* much good music in these games.
Persona has such a great vibe.
Persona 5 is a mashup of Ocean's 11 where Lelouch cons Light and ends with Ghost Busters but gnosticism instead of Gozer.
Persona 4 is a Scooby Doo episode where the villain has many masks the gang pull off one after another.
Persona 3 is basically Freud's theory of Todestrieb, but with stairs.
In all three, you play as an unlicensed councilor giving unsolicited therapy to random people you meet.
Ocean's 11 meets Inception meets Lupin the Third
I need to see your reaction to every song in Bocchi the Rock, with animation (the drums, guitar everything is animated really accurately)
Thank you for checking this out!
The amount of times I prolonged a basic fight in the game just to hear the song longer-
Ahhh, fun times.
It’s about time u reacted to persona music u jus opened up Pandora’s box my friend 🤝🏾
Dude, colors flying high is amazing! I hope you react someday.
Oh man the Persona games are filled to the brim with incredible music, each game having a totally different genre. 2 was very mid 2000's hip-hop, 4 being a throwback to more disco/funk, and this one being jazz-fusion type stuff. You've gotta do Wake Up, Get up, Get Out There! It's like the main theme for P5 or Mass Destruction, which is probably the most popular song from P3
You should definitely stream listening to the rest of the persona 5 soundtrack, i would totally watch that
I subbed for this,
Looking forward to layer cake, and whims of fate.
Wake up, get up, get out there is one of my personal favorites
You have to react to Kanashii Ureshii! Especially the full version, that bass is lovely and I always look for it when I listen to that song!
Finally my favourite series gets on the channel, hope you do more Shin Megami Tensai/Persona
If you like insane base lines and turnarounds I’d recommend “Layer Cake” and “Life goes On”. Two beautiful pieces that are definitely worth the listen
Still in the Persona 5 ost I suggest beneath the mask, phantom, victory theme, price, the whims of fate, life will change, life goes on and also wake up, get up, get out there. All these are amazing, big video for all this could be interesting!
The same composer did songs for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the game has loads of bangers but Town Battle and The End Credits theme are some of my personal favorites
I haven’t even played this game and I have this song on my spotify. I listen to the P5 soundtrack sometimes when I’m just chilling because it’s so dope. Again I haven’t even played the game
Atlus never disappoints with their game's music
Now imagine, this is some of the combat music. Another pretty wild one is "Reincarnation I'll Face Myself" from Persona 4
Dudes are just kickin some ass to this jam
such a pleasant surprise
Yes, Persona 5! Here we go!
Love how I just started p5 royal and your listening to it now
Great video! Just a recommendation, I think you should listen to "Wake up, Get up, Get out there" and "Life will change" in succession (wake up... then life will change)
Both songs use the same rhythm and some of the same lines in their choruses but are starkly different in style, so I'd think it would be very interesting to hear your analysis on both in the same video!
persona 4 having my favorite music in the whole series but all the games are littered with bangers!
Yessssssssssssss more Persona please! So good
Finally I've been wating 🎉🎊🎉🎊
You gotta give Whims of Fate a listen. If you want to jump into Persona 5 Strikers/Scramble, which is the sequel, listen to Axe to Grind. That game also has a metal version of this song called Last Surprise - Scramble.
I need to get all of the palace themes, rivers in the desert and I believe
my heart dropped when i saw this. it’s time.
ooohh! What's that outro beat, tho? Sounds really interesting, makes me want more of it.
Let's gooo, it finally happened
