Hey everyone! Thanks for joining me on this Royal journey! Can't wait to start playing P5R now! A few things I'd like to mention: - Velvet Lounge II is now available on Spotify, iTunes/Apple Music, Google Play, RUclips Music, and Amazon! This EP includes Take Over, No More What Ifs, Throw Away Your Mask, I Believe, Backside of the TV (Mashup), With the Stars and Us, and Life Will Change! You can choose your platform of choice here: www.smarturl.it/velvetloungeii - I covered Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There with J-Music Ensemble! It will be part of their Persona 5 single, "True Form: The Calling Card" which will be out on bandcamp tomorrow! I'll share more info on twitter, facebook, and insta (so follow me if you haven't already)! - I have more collabs to reveal soon, so hang tight!
I managed to dodge every single spoiler except for the twist with Sumi, and even then that was unclear. When I finally finished the third semester, it hit me like a freight train. Before this, P4 used to be my favorite, but Royal might’ve beaten it out purely through the third semester alone.
I managed to avoid spoilers from when 5 came out to 2 weeks ago when I played through 5r. This is also having joined when p4g came to steam, as well as having played P3, and I got spoiled early on pancakes due to a mobile game.
Ryuji: We've come this far and we ain't gonna give up! Ann: Yeah! You gotta do better than this! Yusuke: Don't underestimate our tenacity! Makoto: It's just another threat! We'll overcome it like we always do! Haru: If I run now, I know I'll regret it! Sumire: We'll decide for ourselves, what we want our lives to be! Akechi: I'm a bit occupied, so just do your goddamn JOB!!! Morgana: Finish this, Joker! *Runs on the staircase and grapples towards Adam Kadmon and aims at his head* Joker: "Checkmate!
I love how this song has a call back to Life Will Change. Seeing that song normally plays the day you go to change a palace owners heart. But when this song plays it’s in the same situation but you are facing someone from reality who has the power of a god, and you are hell bent on keeping the reality that the character and us all know and love, regardless of how cruel it maybe. Seriously this song is amazing, great job on the cover!
Rocco The Rayquaza actually at the beginning it plays part of life will change, some other people hear River in a Desert, colors fly high, and wake up get up get out there Edit:essentially it’s basically a flashback to all of the thieves work but in music form.
@@Sam-tx5py it uses those themes as leitmotifs. So there's a ton of references to the prior events that lead to the final confrontation with [spoiler]. But yeah, life will change is about changing the world for the better whereas I believe is about having faith in the reality that was and believing it to be the best option despite its flaws.
I always took it as sort of a continuation and a response. It’s a continuation to something like Life Will Change because the Thieves have done exactly that. Life did change, and became the new reality. Now they have to fight to go back to the normal, with only their beliefs held close to their chest to guide them. It’s also a response to Throw Your Mask Away, a song which is basically begging you to let go of what you believe in. Let this reality wash you over, so you don’t have to suffer anymore. But, as we all know, that’s wrong. You have to proceed with on with all the pains life gives you, earning your future through your beliefs. Honestly, it’s a great message. Way better than Yaldabaoth’s “Hey, letting someone dominate your every action through overwhelming force isn’t something you should take lying down.” This one’s coming from a genuine desire to help everyone, and make life better, but it’s still wrong. It’s still something that needs to be stood up against.
I really wish Akechi got more moments where he was able to sort of act as Joker's lancer, he doesn't really do it in Sae's palace and the final palace is all too brief.
Just finished and platinum trophied P5R and it’s an absolute masterpiece. P5 was already my most favorite game, but P5R blew it out of the park. The third semester is now my most favorite part of the game. I’m so glad I got to be a part of the generation that has such a blessed game. Also, Sapphire has the best Persona covers, hands-down! Her voice is absolutely perfect for these songs! Keep up the great work!
just plat it today n i honestly feel that p5r is indeed an amazing game with superb soundtrack. n sapphire never let us down with her awesome covers on each persona song.
I felt the opposite honestly. 3rd semester was really boring. There was nothing left to do except Yoshizawa's confidant really. I ended up spending almost every day just going to the gym. Maruki was a sympathetic villain and all, sure, but his arc felt like an epilogue. I mean, it essentially was. It lacked the buildup and bombastic closure of the original ending, so it felt like a dud by comparison. I was left so bored by the end of 3rd semester that if I ever play P5 again, I'll certainly opt for the vanilla version.
This is honestly my favorite soundtrack off of the entire persona 5 soundtracks collections. The music is so heavy yet inspiring, the lyrics are so linear yet motivating. Thank you for covering this song. It's amazing and it makes my day. 😌
I wasn't expecting "Life Will Change" to be replaced for the final palace so when I heard this drop I was surprised. And then I was instantly in love with this song. Hearing this for the first time is easily one of my favorite moments in Persona 5 Royal. ...this and "Checkmate".
Just Platinum'd Royal today and this has been stuck in my head all day. (And Throw Your Mask Away) The leitmotifs and callbacks to Wake up Get up and Life Will Change makes this track fit so well after everything the characters have gone through to get to that point. I could go on and on about the the tempo of the ending and how the tracks played just enhance the message being driven home but I'm positive many out there have already done so. As for the cover itself, such a beautiful voice that really captured the emotions I felt leading up the the last fight. I recently discovered Sapphire's stuff while looking for covers of Persona songs to try and explain to my friends why I love it so much and why the music is as much part of the story as everything else in the games. In short I want to thank Sapphire for allowing me to feel the same rush of emotions I felt during the game any time I want with these uploads
You're an incredible singer and this is the best cover of "I Believe" that I've ever heard. Your voice and style nearly mirror Lyn Inaizumi's (original singer) and, I would argue, makes the song even better since you're a native English speaker. Amazing work!
P5 royal has added so much to the original its unbelievable. I haven't even got to the new content at the end but I'm really impressed with all the small changes and additions I keep noticing. 10/10
I keep listening to this in disbelief at how good it is. I say that about the song itself, and again to Sapphire's performance. I am SO happy that Persona exists.
I appreciate everything you do for the community, you’ve covered almost all of my favorite songs from across so many genres! Thank you truly!!!! Some day I hope you make it to Persona 3’s Time I know only your voice can do it justice!!! Best wishes!
This is fantastic! This might be one of my new favorite covers by you! This song was so amazing to hear in Royal the other day, and seeing your cover of it makes it all the better! Can’t wait to see whatever you have planned later!
I love this cover. I honestly believe you have the best sound to sing these covers. Other singers sound too childish or don't have that musky jazz quality that makes this work
I love this so much 😍. My favorite has to be that opening, "Unveil all the Hype y'all been waiting for!" It always pulls me right in. I also love how it is pretty much a message from Atlas to fans XD
This song and the games message, especially third semester is so powerful, and it really helps a high school student about to go to college like me. God bless you all and fight for your future! He has won the battle. Dont give up!
come someone please tell me why every single persona song is so damn emotional, is it just me having some delayed breakdown, or do everyone else become misty?
@@ghifari77 Maruki is essentially the way that he is due to the cognitions of the public still wanting something to rely on, even after Yaldabaoth was gone. This is why Maruki’s persona was manifested on Christmas Eve- the same day and the exact same time Joker and the Phantom Thieves had Sinful Shelled The God of Control- and which is why Adam Kadmon in his form where he essentially takes control of Maruki sounds a lot like Yaldabaoth. He’s technically another god, but isn’t.
I never heard of Persona before Persona 5. Between the original and Royal, fuck dude this game is amazing and I'm so glad I made new friends in life who recommended Persona to me. The themes are absolutely amazing and they're just the icing on the cake!
It’s been added to my persona songs playlist, now I just need to wait until it’s out. Edit: I’m sad, I had to go before I could watch the preview, at least I can still watch it

What about Colors Flying High? The opening song of P5R
Just wondering. Why you don't decide to put it on Tidal as well?
Minato Arisato I dont think Tidal is an option for distribution atm
Sapphire Ah okay, thank you for getting back, I understand!
Will you do full version of mass destruction?
A man named Akihiko once said "I've been waiting for this"
And his friend once said: ''Shut up", he was truly a man of wisdom.
I wise Door said: "I don't care"
Wait a moment.....
This man also said "Did Ya See that Shinji"
Twas also quoted by a fellow artist
And Aegis said " Wait come back!"
Congrats to everyone who was able avoid spoilers during the months we were waiting for the English release.
And then those of us who didn't finish the game in the first month
Easy Mode I have never been more thankful for not having social media

Checkmate
Also life will change 2
"I'm a bit occupied right now, SO DO YOUR GODAMN JOB!"
Life Will Change Requiem
Checkmate
When does it play again?
Wait hold on..... this isn't Lyn ...... holy crap you sound just like the singer of these songs it's actually astounding
yeah her covers are pretty spot on for engrish anime osts
@James Paris its lyn but its not is a pretty accurate statement for most of her covers
Ryuji: We've come this far and we ain't gonna give up!

@@archnexus3936 you can't give therapy to a therapist, so the obvious solution is to punch them.
obviously
@@thegreyhound for his neutral attack, he uses punch!
Makoto and Akechi's line always hit me the hardest for that scene for some reason, the VA work was awesome.

Edgykechi is best Akechi
I really wish Akechi got more moments where he was able to sort of act as Joker's lancer, he doesn't really do it in Sae's palace and the final palace is all too brief.
The theme of Joker Headshotting a god
AGAIN
This time it was more personal.
Checkmate
Joker: I'll Fucking Do it again!
if i had a nickel for every time joker headshot a god i would have two nickels, which isnt that much, but its weird that it happened twice.
Lavenza: You can't just shoot god in the face!
Joker: FUCKIN' WATCH ME.
"It's time to
Unveil the hype y'all been waitin' for"
Me: That's... why I'm here.
And Sapphire dam delivered! So good!

I'm close to platinum and I agree. The third semester was an absolute masterpiece. Despite a few complaints that I have, it is my new favorite game.
Platinum it on my first playthrough.

Platinium trophy is easy
I've for some reason refused to listened to this. Now this gives me so many tingly memories of how climactic running up those certain stairs were.
Don't even need to see it to know that's it's good, you got sapphire covering a persona song which is an instant banger.
Not just "a" Persona song, but probably my favorite song in the series, and there's a lot of great ones across all the games.
Atlus should hire Sapphire to sing the music for Persona 6
@Jonah Laining Persona 6 should get a Lyrical Evolution DLC
Lynn who
lol read her spotify bio
No
Sorry but it has to have Lotus Juice
This is honestly my favorite soundtrack off of the entire persona 5 soundtracks collections. The music is so heavy yet inspiring, the lyrics are so linear yet motivating. Thank you for covering this song. It's amazing and it makes my day. 😌
Great music. Game still ruined Atlus.
Your Covers are agidyne, inferno and blazing hell! Just pure fire. Amazing cover as always! May your experience in royal be an amazing one!
Naoto Shirogane ahem,Rangnarok
Karma Kitsune ahhh yes. Good point. :3
Titanomachia
Maralagidyne
That was better than the jokes about Megidolaon

And then I was instantly in love with this song. Hearing this for the first time is easily one of my favorite moments in Persona 5 Royal.
...this and "Checkmate".
Whenever I listen to this cover of I believe I have this warm feeling right when she’s like “ I believe “ and I’m like omg
I didn’t think I could like this song more. WHY IS EVERY SONG THIS CHICK TOUCHES GOLD?!
Kasumi is a great character for anyone who has been missing FemC.
I originally thought she WAS Femc when I first saw her
Just Platinum'd Royal today and this has been stuck in my head all day.

this song is the true awakening of Life will change
Base Persona: Wake Up Get Up Get Out There
Evolved Persona: Life Will Change
Royal Persona: I Believe
...dang, Personas really are Pokémon huh
I think my heart was stolen once more.
Checkmate.
cesar mario mood!
YUS! MY FAV P5R SONG!
Liking it already cuz you know its gonna steal our hearts
Hahahahaha yeah my fav too
I remember when these covers came out. Now 4 years later i have finally played/finished persona 5, so i can appreciate these so much more
If they didn't use the first line to unveil Persona 5 Royal, they missed a great oppurtunity.
As for the cover, absolutely magnificent~
Was just listening to this from the album last night, another gorgeous performance! Much love to everyone involved.
you're the twitter guy hi
Now I kinda want you to cover "Our Light" but I know I will be bawling like a little baby if you do and I don't know if I actually want that xD
Do it. - Chancellor Palpatine, Ep 3
You're an incredible singer and this is the best cover of "I Believe" that I've ever heard. Your voice and style nearly mirror Lyn Inaizumi's (original singer) and, I would argue, makes the song even better since you're a native English speaker. Amazing work!
Can't wait for her to cover Our Light
Right, I'm really looking forward to that if it ever becomes a reality.
I finally just wrapped P5R and got to hear the originals and phew, Im just a mess of emotions right now. What a fantastic game
P5 royal has added so much to the original its unbelievable. I haven't even got to the new content at the end but I'm really impressed with all the small changes and additions I keep noticing. 10/10
Already liked the video. Why can't 3pm arrive sooner.
I have never been more excited for a new Sapphire cover
I keep listening to this in disbelief at how good it is. I say that about the song itself, and again to Sapphire's performance. I am SO happy that Persona exists.
Its out on Spotify already tho, it's really good!
Where? I can't find it, whatcha search up

Just finished Royal and what an amazing experience. Thank you Atlus ❤️
favorite song of the game now. I love the small bit of life will change in this song
I feel this so much. I believe in life, there is so much in life that goes beyond what we know.
This is fantastic! This might be one of my new favorite covers by you! This song was so amazing to hear in Royal the other day, and seeing your cover of it makes it all the better!
Can’t wait to see whatever you have planned later!
God this song was so good when it played on royal glad someone covered it
I didn't even think it was possible, but you somehow managed to make the song sound even better.
I love this cover. I honestly believe you have the best sound to sing these covers. Other singers sound too childish or don't have that musky jazz quality that makes this work
Sapphire you finally made Persona songs understandable to me. Thank you.
I FREKING KNEW IT!!! I WISHED FOR THIS TO COME OUT AND IT CAME TRUE, THANK YOU SAPPHIRE!!!
Woooooooah!
Looking cool, Sapphire!
I love this so much 😍. My favorite has to be that opening, "Unveil all the Hype y'all been waiting for!"
It always pulls me right in. I also love how it is pretty much a message from Atlas to fans XD
Essentially, I believe life will change.
I love all your covers especially those P5R ones. They are simply amazing and I can't stop listening to them. Amazing work!
This song plays:
Treasure: I am in danger
Only treasure to survive the Phantom Thiefs is Nijima's treasure
This song and the games message, especially third semester is so powerful, and it really helps a high school student about to go to college like me. God bless you all and fight for your future! He has won the battle. Dont give up!
i know this message wont be seen but i really love your covers and your voice!! its amazing
come someone please tell me why every single persona song is so damn emotional, is it just me having some delayed breakdown, or do everyone else become misty?
I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t expecting Joker to kill another god, but this one was arguably stronger and even more impactful for me

Wait this is a cover? I legit thought this is Lyn?!
I'm so confused >< the distinction is uncanny!
It's fire!!!
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Jesus,I was just listening to your "heaven".I know you're gonna out-do yourself,but i can't see how you manage to better perfection.
I love this song. I beat the game like three days ago and I feel so much nostalgia. Amazingly done too!
the new royal soundtrack really slaps man
I can't wait for you to do "Our Light" next, this is so awesome. Thank you for all the wonderful covers you've made!

Only found this today and I love your cover of it!
This song is just so good
I had to wait to finish royal before listening to these. SOOOOO GOOOOOD!
Beautiful as always
The whole album is a banger!
I love how your voice is similar to the original singer but not identical. I think it's more unique this way. Is it intentional?
