What makes this song sadder is that we’ll never hear Maruki’s voice again, since Billy Kametz died of cancer. So in a cruel irony, Maruki finally has reached his world wear he will never suffer again. Rest in peace Billy. Thank you for your performances, but especially for giving life to Maruki, one of my favorite characters in video games and possibly all of fiction.
100% the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song. I’m still not over that final battle and this song really captures the true meaning of the fight, Maruki begging you to stop fighting and just be happy. This cover really manages to capture that sadness and really hits home with it. Love the addition at the end, great call. Keep it up!
You know what? I was going to ramble about the philosophy behind the lyrics, but instead, I'll just stick to: Good job guys, this is even better than the original!
I legit got chills. I'm still not over this final boss, FOR SURE. Amazing cover!!! I'm absolutely checking all the other you've done, I really hope you'll get more views, this is such a wonderful work.
This cover of throw away your mask is strong and I find it amazing. I can't help but to tear up when the end comes up. The game made Maruki a man who saw life as cruel by Taking Rumi and he wanted to give everyone what they wanted but you can't defy reality, I love that ark and I find Persona 5 Royal the best game I ever played in my life. Overall song 100/10
Considering the MO of the villain in question (yes, I'm going to call him that, he infuriates me just as much as he does the Chaos Hero and the justifications only make it more vile), that fade-out at the end is just straight-up ominous. Kudos for capturing both the pain and the horror of this enemy.
Marukis Arc was Perfect , I don’t think my mind will ever change in that fact. He wasn’t a villain but a Anatagonist who we all could relate and see their perspective - a person who wanted to eliminate pain after suffering so much himself and seeing other peoples , he simply wanted a better life for everyone he met and that is truly admirable If there was a character with the most pure of intentions it would be him. He is personally my favourite Video game character purely due to how complex his story is , a million essays could be written on the unique story he had and they still wouldn’t of scratched the surface
Maruki was a man with very good intentions that just went about it in the wrong way. Fantastic character that absolutely made buying Royal well worth it. The new bad ending is also one of the most haunting, fucked up things I think I’ve ever seen in a JRPG.
It's almost like someone at Atlus said you could never make a compelling, believable, threatening, but also unquestionably flawed Lawful Good antagonist and someone threw the name 'Doctor Takuto Maruki' up on the board and said 'Bet.'
I cant talk about 3rd semester without fucking laughing. I think the guy who jokingly said "Maruki is wrong because he is running from his trauma." summarized the entire argument why maruki is wrong perfectly
Been listening to this version so much that the original song almost feels incomplete without the new ending you guys added. Well done, you guys managed to take an already great song and elevate it to a near-perfect one!
This is one of the best covers from one of my favorite songs from the game, Line's voice truly resonates with it. Loved the small changes to the song, like the solo and the ending.
this song reminds me of a time when I was psychiatric therapist in a high school. I was researching on the side, something about changing the collective unconscious and cognitions or something.. those were the days.
Wow. Just wow. I literally had no idea this cover existed until a couple days ago when it came up on Spotify. I saw it and instantly favorited it. But after I actually listened to it, I was floored at how low-key fire this cover actually is. Seriously, not only is this cover a legitimate banger, but I feel like if there was ever a Persona 5 (or even Persona 5 Royal) movie, that this cover should be featured in the end credits of said movie, because I feel like this cover absolutely rates peak end-credits material. But maybe I'm the only one who thinks that? Either way, this should be in a future Persona 5 game! That being said, great cover! But then most, if not all of your Persona covers that I've heard are really good! Keep up the good work! Total no-brainer to subscribe after hearing this!
What a wonderful, wonderful cover. For me, it managed to do what many covers fall short of - translate all the emotional power of the original. Thank you for the amazing job.
Love it man! Found you through your The Almighty cover pretty recently, and I adore your recent covers after checking them out. Hope to see more from you in the future! Edit: Also, I would love to give some actual criticism or point out things I especially like, but I know next to nothing when it comes to making music, even if I'd love to get into it some day. The ending bit is a great addition to the song by the way
your covers are the only covers of any persona songs I genuinely feel I like and thoroughly enjoy, please keep it up you're music is amazing and you're severely underrated
A little late to the party BUT I've been waiting for this since finishing Royal!!! OH SHIT, I have no words, it's just as amazing as I expected it to be and even more!!! That shift up in tune and fusing the vocals with its instrumental gave it that extra personalized flavor---so cool! Great job my man---and woman! PERFECT!!!
Nice work with this :) The first line of the refrain has me confused, though. I've seen lyrics where it says "dreams that come true". While your version of it makes more sense given what Maruki wishes for, the other variant makes me question if he's asking them to seize the opportunity he has presented or telling them that their faith and hopes for the future is wasted on the real world?
I agree this is the best cover but the fact you can produce something this good should be fulfilling enough, who cares about views. Those arent indicators of quality content.
"Does thou long for freedom? Dost thou revel in diversity? Since the dawn of time, man hath failed to quell the strife born of their own liberty."- Michael the Angel, P5 #TeamMaruki The entenstion here is perfect, I always felt the song wasn't "complete" somehow but with this the feeling is gone!
In my opinion your cover is better than the original, I don't know if the song would match the game but judging only from the song, your cover is much better
New arrival here and I just wanna say that was absolutely beautiful, probably better than the original. This is the first time I've come across you so I'm go browse your channel now. Sub earned 😁
This makes the original feel lacking. There is so much more emotion here. I don't know if I should be happy I've found an amazing cover to listen to, or disappointed that i like this more than the one in the game
Just don't actually throw your masks away, alright? There's a pandemic out there.
Thank you for this important PSA
True, but I see this a lot and I never tire of these. And the title of the song was not meant to be taken seriously.
@@lilithramirez7719 my good sir, please remember that jokes exist
You shouldn't throw away your mask in the way the song is begging you to, either.
Just here to say I made like number 400 😂

Rest in peace Billy. Thank you for your performances, but especially for giving life to Maruki, one of my favorite characters in video games and possibly all of fiction.
easily the best cover I've heard yet, its criminal how little views there are...
the vocals in this are just incredible and the instrumental work stays true to the original and has whatever you'd ask for
I found this channel by luck looking for nocturne fierce battle, these covers are really good
The key change at 3:50 and the solo at 4:38 hit me every single time, god damn this is good

The new ending part you added to this song (unless it is in some longer version of the original I missed) really makes this. It's so good!
Line came up with that part! Really tied everything together nicely, for sure \m/
Buen trabajo Line @@gillstudio
That ending was freaking amazing. Makes the lyrics so strong omg, literally begging me, borderline convincing to throw the mask away. Yiiikes
This cover is so fucking underrated. Her voice is so great.
You know what? I was going to ramble about the philosophy behind the lyrics, but instead, I'll just stick to: Good job guys, this is even better than the original!
This song is to make all of us imagine a world whitout sadness. How incomplete this wourld should be.
A beautiful cover of what's probably my favourite P5R song, good job you guys :)
Thank you! Glad you liked it!^^
@@gillstudio Especially that haunting ending! It'd feel right at home in some sort of bad ending
Very great the maruki arc had me crying good to hear it in a new light
I legit got chills. I'm still not over this final boss, FOR SURE.
Amazing cover!!! I'm absolutely checking all the other you've done, I really hope you'll get more views, this is such a wonderful work.
Wow, thank you! Appreciate the support 🙏
that "believe in me" line really hits me
I did not expect this to be as good as it is, wow good job seriously
Thank you for listening!
Probably one of the most emotional songs I have heard in gaming and this is a befitting cover, great voice and instrumental performance.

You guys got to bang out the persona 3 reload opening song

God, maruki just wanted people to be happy but messing with reality isnt the right way

@@CapCapital facts that ending was actually kinda crazy
I cant talk about 3rd semester without fucking laughing. I think the guy who jokingly said "Maruki is wrong because he is running from his trauma." summarized the entire argument why maruki is wrong perfectly
I very much appreciate that you didn't needlessly change some of the lyrics like some people do.
This cover is so rad! How do you two just keep churning out gold over and over? Absolutely incredible!
Thanks, Devon! Appreciate the love 🙏
Been listening to this version so much that the original song almost feels incomplete without the new ending you guys added. Well done, you guys managed to take an already great song and elevate it to a near-perfect one!
That ending is brilliant... You guys did such a fantastic job, you synchronised the guitar play with the singing so well
This is one of the best covers from one of my favorite songs from the game, Line's voice truly resonates with it. Loved the small changes to the song, like the solo and the ending.
This woman's voice is so beautiful.
True story, this cover popped up on my Spotify on a long road trip, and during the chorus I though, "Is that Amy Lee?"
Great work!
This is 100 percent the best cover of this song hand down . You guy got to talk to Atlus and have you in persona 6 . You guys make a killer duo
I second this! Line, Gill, y’all need to be in the next Persona!
this song reminds me of a time when I was psychiatric therapist in a high school. I was researching on the side, something about changing the collective unconscious and cognitions or something.. those were the days.
This song true lyrics hits the message of the actual song, maruki begg8ng you not to fight him and be themselfs and be happy
This song was already 100% epic. You just made it 1000000000000% more epic
The way this cover Is done is amazing. I could imagine this being the SMT version of this song.
Those are the original lyrics
Wow. Just wow. I literally had no idea this cover existed until a couple days ago when it came up on Spotify. I saw it and instantly favorited it. But after I actually listened to it, I was floored at how low-key fire this cover actually is.

That's great to hear! Definitely have lots more coming in the future, so stay tuned^^
By far the best cover of a Persona 5 I've heard so far...
Damn the guitar dude is really shredding-... Just an amazing cover.
Nice key change at the end.
your covers are the only covers of any persona songs I genuinely feel I like and thoroughly enjoy, please keep it up you're music is amazing and you're severely underrated

Thanks so so much, dude! Glad it was worth the wait!^^
Dude both of them killed it.....,
Every single line in the lyrics matched the vibe, maybe too match that was heartbroken. It's just like Maruki's directly speech
Props to both of you, I think I like this version even more than the original, I keep coming back to it months later
Dang, this is an incredible cover. Shared and subscribed to both of your channels.
Legit the best cover of the song in TH-cam. Keep up the good work . Ps your voice is amazing

The best cover out there. It is soooo goooood. Incredible vocals and very good work on the instrumental part. Love it.
This is my favorite cover. Especially the ending. Do you have the guitar tabs anywhere?
This is incredible. As soon as I heard her voice I was stunned.
I love how you added extra lyrics at the end.
This is the most beautiful version of this song yet, and that's saying a lot, since Throw Away Your Mask is a beautiful song to start with.
No way,,,, I like this more than the original and the original was already so damn good-
I can't stop listening to this song
You two are awesome. What a voice...
The is the best remix of this theme I’ve ever heard!
No idea how you don't have more subs! Listen to your stuff just as much as I do little V, skar, and family jules.
Great job
I keep on coming back to this one. I think this is my favorite of yours so far.
Maruki was such a great "villain"
Antagonist would be the right word for him, definitely *NOT* villain.
@@karmiccrotal3480 that's true
I agree this is the best cover but the fact you can produce something this good should be fulfilling enough, who cares about views. Those arent indicators of quality content.
GILL Studio is the best !!!
just finish platinum this game. relaxing while listening to this cover. 💪🏻
Idk names but person singing u have such a powerful voice qnd I love it
I’ve always loved the first few moments of this song, got some gravity to it lol

The entenstion here is perfect, I always felt the song wasn't "complete" somehow but with this the feeling is gone!
Your channel is a treasure trove! Keep up the amazing work :D
You inspired me to make my own cover too :)
Perfection
This is beyond phenomenal, amazing work
Have you considered taking on the SMT4 ost?
You guys have really killed it with these covers. Astounding job!
Thank you for listening!
Yaaa more then a year later and I still stand by my take that the new bad ending really the good ending.
In my opinion your cover is better than the original, I don't know if the song would match the game but judging only from the song, your cover is much better
Wow. Just wow. I'd say better than the original. Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Whoa, this is even better than the original. Well done!
yall are incredibly talented. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
tears are dropping from my cheeks listening to this
I'm crying, this is just too good QAQ
Fucking fantastic covers you guys!
This could easily class as a power ballad
This cover is incredible! I love the outro on this!!
Ooh that ending 😮 You guys are awesome! Thank you for these covers 😁
Thank you! Credit for the ending goes to Line! She definitely came up with some really cool adlibs for this track.
The ending innovated this song
Great cover! This song makes me tear up
this is amazing
New arrival here and I just wanna say that was absolutely beautiful, probably better than the original. This is the first time I've come across you so I'm go browse your channel now. Sub earned 😁
Holy moly, guys. You are fricking amazing. Instant subscribe!!!
Thank you!

Fantastic, as always.
Appreciate it, dude!
I like this song! Well done!
Awesome job!
I WOULD LOVE see you and the original singer on a duet whit this song
Perfect
Listening and reading along, kinda makes me think Joker is writing this for Violet.
Yooo this slaps and I haven't even played persona 🙏🏼🔥🔥
Good shit dude.
This makes the original feel lacking. There is so much more emotion here. I don't know if I should be happy I've found an amazing cover to listen to, or disappointed that i like this more than the one in the game
🤘 FUCKING AWESOME 👏👏👏
I don’t say this often, but this may better than the original.
Yo this is great
Thanks!
Yup, even better than the original.
