incredible song and incredible analysis as always tony. I hope you will still bring some Persona songs. I recommend some songs by persona 5 strickers since they are closer to your genre. Bravo!

@@The1AndOnly6133I think it’s fine but they should’ve had the vocalist sing “bay-beh bay-beh” rather than “bay-bee bay-bee” had that change been made I feel it wouldn’t get nearly as much hate as it does.
0:58 pretty sure that's a vocal sample singing "baby". It's a reference/callback to the previous battle theme for the original Persona 3 game "Mass Destruction" (they made a version for Reload too idk if you reacted to that one) that literally just starts with the singer going: "BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY"
If you see the Persona songs performed live (they're on RUclips, especially at Yokohama Center), there's effectively a symphony accompanying the singers - multiple pianos/keyboards, drums, a string section, brass, and electric. Incredibly insane for "video game music." And the crowds these concerts draw are pretty wild too.
Gosh the main thing I love about your channel is that you actually pay attention to every single instrument. Most RUclips reactors simply put the “musician tag” on their titles but never actually break it down at all. You always make me appreciate whatever music I am listening to even more by pointing out stuff I never would have paid attention to, keep up the killer work Tony!
Atsushi Kitajoh absolutely slays in the brass. His use of it in Persona Q2 is immaculate (I also noticed he did the arrangement for Specialist in P4D, which is awesome).
I think this is probably peak persona fandom that I'm ever gonna see in RUclips comments, knowing the name of one specific guy in the brass section of several persona spinoffs. I respect it lol 😂
I’m really glad you listened to this track with the context of why the soundtrack had these rap vocals mixed in. It’s nice to know you’re open to feedback and explanations for these games from the fans.
what I like about this song is that it was only composed for the remake, P3Reload, released last month, but the team behind it and the composers did everything they could to make it fit in perfectly with the other OSTs in the game, which, I'll remind you, is almost 20 years old... another masterclass from the SMT Persona team
The other tune on this game's soundtrack that really stood out to me is "Changing Seasons," which was actually in the original P3 20 years ago, but the melody was carried by the horns, and it had a spoken-word French section. Now the main melody is on vocals, and the spoken-word bit was changed to English. Theyr'e both good, but I think I prefer the new one more. It's also an interesting exercise being familiar with the old tracks and seeing how the new versions of them are re-arranged, remixed, and reimagined. Some got very minor changes, and some feel like a whole new piece.
One thing you can be certain with each and every Persona game - The soundtrack is gonna be a banger. Love listening to music producers disecting the tracks, and telling more about what they hear in them, makes me appreciate Atlus' sound team more and more with each video I watch
Just found your channel and as a former percussionist, I love your analysis of the drums and rhythms. Persona is also an amazing series, so I'm a huge fan of these vids. Keep it up
others have already said it but yes Changing Seasons is absolutely beautiful as well. im not sure though if theres as much to talk about in that track than in this one so maybe a combination of Changing Seasons and another shorter song? if not id totally understand its just that changing seasons is genuinely beautiful
id also love to see him review the battle themes for persona Q/Q2. in particular id love to see him react to pull the trigger, i dont think ive seen any reactors react to it yet
Tony I love your insightful analysis mixed with your casual fun style; I've watched 20+ hours of your content this week and you've quickly become one of my favorite creators. Cheers for the information and entertainment! It's fun to see you having fun discovering new music worlds too!
ive been watching every video of yours cause i just found you and i love your ability to find the levels. it really opens your ears when listening to other songs. love this content!
Excited for the reaction! I think it would be interesting, to review mass destruction, there's some controversy in the community whether the original or the reload (new) version is better, so your unbiased opinion would be wonderful to hear
ik im a few months late but thank you for picking up on how beautiful the descent of the piano notes in the chorus, i thought i was the only one who noticed how beautiful it was
Started watching your content from the first persona3 vid cause im obsessed? with the game and have since proceeded to binge most of your content xD Really enjoy your style of pausing and talking about the music it's made me appreciate some songs in a way I never would have before.
If you’re open to doing a longer video you could do a comparison of the song “Mass Destruction.” Persona 3 Reload is a remake of Persona 3, a JRPG classic from 2006 and so it features newly arranged and remastered tracks from the original games in addition to new ones like the one you listened to in this video. Mass Destruction has garnered some controversy with fans of the original game saying the original version was much better but some new fans believe the new arrangement is better. As someone who is unbiased, it would be interesting to see which one you think is musically better by listening to both for a video
I think you'd really like 'When The Moon's Reaching Out the Stars" also in Persona 3 Reload. It has a SUPER sick ride cymbal pattern and some really good layering throughout the verses with some cool synth lines and stuff like that.
Honestly it is hard to decrypt the lyrics in many of these songs because of how they pronounce English words. In When Moon's Reaching Out Stars, especially original, I would never guess the actual lyrics just from hearing
@@zereon laughing and blabbing are essentially the same thing in this context. That being to talk behind someone’s back, mostly in a manner that paints them poorly. I don’t think you should be projecting onto some random guy on the internet
Alwasy great to watch your analysis, also fun fact you actually reacted to the male singer before, he provides the vocals for Joseph's theme (Jojo part 2 protagonist)
I’m watching this new anime called metallic rouge. And HOLY. The OP and and an OST called Crimson Lighting is soooooo good. The opening has a bit of an 80s r&b feel and the OST is just heavenly. No other words to describe.
The thing I absolutely LOVE about Persona music is that they aren't afraid to lean into new or unorthodox styles. It ends up making Persona music super unique and full of personality!
I am thinking that the Persona 5 Strikers OST would be something you might like, some tracks that might be worth to listen to is are "Daredevil" and "Counterstrike" etc.
different game, but take over from persona 5 goes unbelievably hard. though, continuing the persona 3 reload train, you can check out when the moon is reaching out stars. it has one of my most favorite drum works in the entire ost. splendid to the T
You would definitely enjoy reacting to mass destruction next. It’s the second battle theme along with this one, and the last song in the soundtrack where there is a full duet between the male and female vocalist that you haven’t reacted to yet.
So funny how I commented on your last video to do this song probably hours before this was uploaded, so great to watch your reactions! Persona 5 (in particular Royal) has arguably the most popular hits due to its relative mainstream success but also they're just really freaking good. I love Persona 3 and Reload's OST just as much, the songs are great in their own way. But certain songs like the battle song "Life Will Change", the bustling "Tokyo Emergency" or "Tokyo Daylight", the enchanting "Beneath the Mask", the atmospheric "Sunset Bridge", even the euphoric "Royal Days" and especially "Royal Days - another version". I could go on but there is a treasure trove of masterpieces and you've barely touched on the gold mine. Either way, it's been awesome seeing responses to your comments! I can see your passion through discussions and learning.
Persona 3 Reload took notes from Persona 5's first release. The battle music for P3R is something you could listen to and relisten to for every battle. Last Surprise was so exhausting to listen to repeatedly in P5 that they had to fix it in Persona 5: The Royal. In my "Persona-l" experience (sorry), I would intentionally avoid fights so i wouldnt have to hear Last Surprise's intro. P5R's battle music made it worth fighting each battle.
It’s Going Down Now: *is masterfully paced, sung, arranged, and performed* Also IGDN: *is literally just a song about how badly you’re gonna kick a random enemy’s ass*
What interesting about Japanese singers singing in English is that they apply Japanese mono-moraic speaking style to English words that otherwise should have emphasis. In Japanese, every sound has the same amount of space (1 mora), where as in English we put EMphasis on things which drags out the sound. They're able to completely change where the rhyme happens and/or where the beat changes purely because of how they space each syllable/mora.
This one's a banger. You should check out Memories of You next from the P3 soundtrack. Shoji Meguro, the composer of this soundtrack believes it to he his magnum opus when it came to composing for the persona series, it has a remastered version for P3 Reload and while i do slightly prefer the original both versions are amazing.
Yeah man this song is still nuts even after hearing it 100 times. You can only get this song in the game by doing a sneak attack before battle. And the during first time it played for me the part where lotus screamed "get ready" was at the same time the main character said "get ready" in a low tone before it going into the chrous during the all out attack. I was like omg they didnt have to go so hard 😂
Hey, Tony. I don't know any of these last animé series, but they must be very, very good. The music is awesome. I need to take a chance and watch them. Thanks to you I now know these songs and animé series.
I would highly recommend Battle for Everyone's Souls. If you wanted some context you could also listen to Aria of the Soul first which the battle theme is a remix of. EDIT: The song might also be called Battle Hymn of the Soul in Reload.
As someone playing through the game right now and really enjoying the music, it's a lot of fun to hear some else's reactions to the music! I'm a big fan of Master of Shadow but it's a lot more of a loopy song and doesn't have as much substance as some other tracks from the game

I'd recommend "The Battle for Everyone's Soul" for a more instrumental battle track from Persona 3!
it has too little of the vocals in it
@@JButterZJ "more instrumental" ...
It's peak fighting music😭
maybe he should listen to aria of the soul first though? since your recommendation is a remix

Bro found you months ago. Gotta say im very lyric heavy, but you break down instuments and rythm in a new way for me. Youre awesome!

Genuinely, Persona has some of the best music I've heard in any video game soundtrack.
“The battle for everyone’s souls” is an absolute banger, should definitely check it out.
Changing Seasons from Persona 3 Reload is another great piece to record along the Persona marathon I think 😉
There are so many awesome elements in this track, but I can't get over how juicy the bass guitar sounds.

The best moment in persona 3 is syncing an all out attack with the female vocals

The reason the intro is so short is because its a song that comes on when you start a battle so they want to get right into it
