I finally have Persona 3 and 4 and I fell madly in love with this song. I've been a tenor in choir for about 7 years, and one of my goals was to sing the Aria of the Soul, and guess what? I did it! I can match a soprano now! xD
someone tried to do Belladonna's Singing.... for those who do not know canonically Belladonna and Nameless do the velvet room theme Nameless is the pianist and Belladonna does the singing, a dev interview confirms that in every persona game after 2 they're actually hidden out of sight in the velvet room and they still play the velvet room, for if they weren't there, there wouldn't be a velvet room theme
They were hanging off the elevator in 3, shoved in the trunk in 4, lost between the cushions in q and q2 and in 5 even yaldabaoth kept them around because of how good they were
@Animenzzz Wow, thanks man. I didn't really expect that kind of response! But yes, it is an extremely beautiful piece. This video is actually the second version, because when I reviewed the first recording, I was subconsciously doing so much rubato that the momentum was totally wrecked. Are you planning on recording this as well?
Cannot express enough how good this is. It reminds me of my burning love for the piano and music as a way life. I can literally feel my "soul" dancing to this right now... it's been a while and I almost had forgotten it, but this, this is wonderful. Thank you so much, really,thank you
6 people succumbed to the Shadows and didn't find their true selves. I can feel you play this song with your heart, and the final touch with the vocals was the icing on the cake, very well done.
@acuity1980 Yes, they're all on purpose. To be honest, the sheet music is so clean (thanks to the transcriber!) that it's pretty hard to misread. Another one I've changed slightly is on measure 18, and a couple more. I just think it sounds better.
Why everyone talk about P5 or P5S, but nobody says a word about performance? Great skill, lots of training and passion! Video almos 10 years old, but still great! Thank you!
This is the most accurate rendition/cover on all of RUclips. Every single one, even the ones with sheet music, always get that one note in the first measure wrong and it irritated me to know end. I've been watching this video over and over again for years to try and learn to play it and this is the only one available that gets the entire song right. Kudos.
This cover was moving, absolutely beautiful. I'm learning the song right now, I want people to feel the same way I felt when I first heard this cover. I don't play piano though lol, so I'm just going off the hands.
The song never fails to give me massive feels. ;-; Like I've already watched this probably a hundred times already xD, but it still has the same impact on me. Do u feel me, brah? ;-;
@dmkitsch Hope it didn't overpower the melody though. I tend to overdo playing qualities when I really like the piece (ie. overusing rubato and dynamics).
@kaputasri Thanks man. Unfortunately, I work with a lot of TV Size OP/ED music, and it's so much more practical to work with 90 second pieces in terms of the practice time as well as the arrangement quality.
This is absolutely the most beautifully played piece of all pieces on youtube. I first heard this version on a tumblr, and i thought it was a studio recorded professional piece, then i saw it was just a fan playing it. Absolutely mindblowing.
You having a Throwback Thursday? lol Similarly, I was viewing your K-ON cover, the first ever video I saw of your playing. I still remember printing the sheets out and giving up because the right hand run was too hard. ;_;
Back in the day when people replied to others by making seperate comments, lol. Although, if anyone sees this reply... I gotta say that this video bangs.
Your piano cover is AMAZING. Some days I even prefer this version over the original. And no one else could get everything almost exactly right like you did! Great job!
Didnt know aout persona until a few months back cuz i saw a friend of mine play it, i barely saw anything about the game (the 4th, and im on pc), and faith had it in store for me to buy it, so glad i did, cuz god damn its good
Because this song is tied up to the persona lore, in persona 2, there are another velvet room guest, nameless and balledonna, they play this song to "calm" the demon. Cmiiw
This is my favorite piano rendition of this song I've found so far. It's incredible. We can't see you in the video, so I'm just going to assume you're actually Nameless, come to life from the game to play it for us.
Finally learned this song, not the best pianist but took me about 3 weeks and I never even played the damn game lol. Heard it from someone else playing it and was in love and this is by far the best version of the song on piano out there
"That beautiful melody at the beginning That epic giga chords at the finale That voice addition at the end" Animenzzz sounded like Elizabeth, from Persona 3, at that moment... xD
It seems you've reached the end of your journey with us, with that in mind, thank you for treating us kindly, even though you never had to. May your next journey be as wonderful as this one.
I had played this song a few years ago, but didn't really like the way I did it and gave up on it. Just listening to this has inspired me to start playing it again in hopes of making it sound half as good as yours. Well done indeed!! And thank you:)
Make your future uploads long as this, then we are able o enjoy your arrangements better.The vocals at the end were like the cherry on top the cake. It surprised me.Nice expressive playing.Looking forward for more.
Same effect here. Beautiful song! I did also cried the first time I've listened. Motivates me to learn to play piano and keep playing SMT P3:FES. I'm very grateful that talented musicians plays this master pieces. My most sincere congratulations!
Best improvising I've seen so far. :D If I could comment, it sounds like how I play it in the first part but at way at the middle I saw you improvise and it was magnificent. Great job!
I had to get off the computer because of an important reason but I JUST COULDN'T. I couldn't stop this video. WHAT KIND OF SPELL DID YOU PUT IN IT? Simply awesome
The amounts of times i had to hear those twins say things like "Looks pretty tough" and "A powerful persona indeed" when trying to fuse purrfect, strong purrsonas...
Does anyone else just completely forget what they’re doing in the velvet room and just sit there and listen to this song?
Forget? Nah fam. I just sit on that couch and hang a moment, allowing the day to fall away. Without the stress of the world on your shoulders, you can more easily peer into the soul, and see what your heart requires.

good for you
Wow that's amazing^^
I'm a soprano too (but I'm a girl)
Didn't think the song was that high - what's the highest note in here?
NarutoFFFreak did you just assume this persons gender
no, she didn't. tenor is a male voice type. I did not assume narutofffreak's gender either, she just said she's a soprano, that shows us she's a girl.

Just started playing Persona 5 last night. I fell in love with this song the second I heard it. I can’t wait to learn it on piano!
Wow. This is actually one of my favourite piece from the Persona franchise. I used to go to the Velvet room a lot just to listen to this.
I've only watched walkthroughs of persona 4, and yet when you started this piece, I turned into smiles and tears :D this is just fabulous!
I want this to played at my funeral
Why everyone talk about P5 or P5S, but nobody says a word about performance? Great skill, lots of training and passion! Video almos 10 years old, but still great! Thank you!
Persona 4 has such a great soundtrack
I heard this one from even persona 2.
The reason I goes to velvet room so often
+DickEarthquake ya , shoji meguro is fucking awesome
+Ray Christofer This song has been in all the persona games...I expect it will be in 5 as well.
+blackromeoKOK Judging by the new velvet room, it isn't going to be calm....
Mungo An elevator that rises seemingly endlessly and a limo that is constantly driving through thick fog are calm settings?
so emotional I couldn't find bad version of this piece, even in least watched covers, but you increased the level so high, thanks xD
Awesome job - your singing was especially impressive
welcome to the velvet room, a place between dream and reality, mind and matter

I do! :-)
I know right, it makes me remember how wholesome the game was
I favorite it .
I hear it every morning on the train.
@dmkitsch Hope it didn't overpower the melody though. I tend to overdo playing qualities when I really like the piece (ie. overusing rubato and dynamics).
That fist clench was awesome at 2:40.
the best velvet room cover that i ever heard.. thanks man 👊
and oh my god, when the vocals started.. those nerd-chills. Simply amazing.
@kaputasri Thanks man. Unfortunately, I work with a lot of TV Size OP/ED music, and it's so much more practical to work with 90 second pieces in terms of the practice time as well as the arrangement quality.
Can't count how many times I watched this video now. Dude, thx for that awesome version of yours
Man, this is so beautifully played. I'm almost in tears.
@Verdegrand Thanks a lot! It might've been obvious that the left hand was just improvised. I was too impatient to practice this for more than a day :P
This is so beautiful! And emotional.... Thank you for uploading this so that people like me can get all teary over this...T T
no matter how many times I watch this I'm astonished at the grace and speed of his hands.

You just touched my heart nothing more beautiful than a person who plays with their soul!
By far the best execution of the song I've seen. Great work!
looking thru my old youtube playlist and thank god i have all these amazing songs still on my playlist, thank you for still having this video,
I loved the fact that the persona series kept this song throughout with some changes, its my favourite OST from any game, amazingly done too!
Because this song is tied up to the persona lore, in persona 2, there are another velvet room guest, nameless and balledonna, they play this song to "calm" the demon. Cmiiw
