ENGLISH 'Our Light' Persona 5: Royal (Akane Sasu Sora)

"In the light of tomorrow...!"

Please read me!

Hello again. Been a while, huh?

Since the Acapella, anyway. I apologize for the delay. As I mentioned in previous descriptions, I had to take over this project from the animator after her living situation changed. It was a pretty big undertaking, being so sudden... but I'm happy with how it turned out, given the circumstances. Sorry if you were looking forward to the animation— trust me, so was I! But these things happen sometimes, and there ain't much I can do about it. Sorry, again.

As far as the cover itself, though...

Today is March 20th— the final day in Persona 5. The day that Akira says his goodbyes... the day it all ends. Or the day it *begins again*, if you've been reading my fic!

I... really love writing. Immersing myself in that world, spinning threads and plotlines, putting pen to paper... It's all been so much fun. I think I'll be spending a lot more of my life on it, weird as that sounds. I really like it, so I hope you like it too~!

The next cover will be another 'Life Will Change' tie-in, so give the fic a read if you get the chance! I'd really appreciate you all giving it a shot. Let me know what you think!

Thanks so much, everyone! I'll see you all soon.

'Til then~!

LYRICS (Please do not use without my permission):

In the night, in the light, a dream within a dream,
With my eyes to the sky, I feel you staring at me…
But if I awake, I know your warmth would fade to the dark...
So I close my eyes, and keep you in my mind and my heart...

Though we try, I know I may never see you again...
Though we try, if our time spent apart will only bring us pain
Then I’ll use it to guide me toward the stars and their shine,
and finally lay to rest all my regrets forevermore.

Saccharine, bittersweet, the kingdom of our dreams...
In that place, tender fate delivered you unto me…
With a gentle kiss, you closed the desperate lips that once said
lying to yourself was fine, and brought our tale to an end...

In the light of tomorrow, I remember it all
in time to know you’re gone. Even though it only brings me pain,
I will walk down my path paved with regrets, broken trust,
and stardust, to the world you left for us, now and always...

The pain that I felt, waking up to just myself
is stronger than words can say…
We are apart, but it’s important now because
I will live for you anyway...

Though we try, I know I may never see you again…
Though we try, if our time spent together only brings us pain
Then I’ll use it to guide me through the light of stars,
and finally reach your heart. For I know no matter where you are

that we all share the same sky!
May the tears that I cry
connect us for all time!

Bathing the World in Our Light.

Read my (Akira/Sumi) Persona 5: Royal fanfic, "Life Will Change" here!

[firephoenix]

I think it's obvious the song is about saying goodbye. Sumire to her sister, Maruki to his ideal world, the Phantom Thieves to each other. Part of me likes to think no matter where they are, they all meet at leblanc once a year, just to catch up, have some of Sojiro's coffee, and enjoy each other before going back to their lives.

Have been playing Persona 5 Royal for three years, this song never stops hitting me hard. Helping to remind me that are others out there that suffer from the same pain day after day. Singing along with both the JP and ENG version of this song tends to fill me with happiness. In all honesty, Our Light is the most heartwarming song I've heard in my 18 years of gaming and I thank you from the bottom of my heart in making the ENG version of this already heartwarming song

[thatkingdomheartsguy]

I like to think that the PT sit at Leblanc and discuss how they've all been once a year on the day Akira left. I know that's cringey but I think the best ending is one where they may live further apart but still meet up where this whole story started, always friends.

Ahhh those higher notes hit hard 🔥🔥🔥🔥and gosshhh.... listening to this at night time here ....in a dark room with full volume with earphones plugged in ....I feel like I am in a theatre....in a different reality

[angeluskardia]

Damn, this gives a different type of kick from the acapella version...
And it still has that same impact, so congratulations, this is wonderful work! ✨

[herbalmagic]

seriously....OUTSTANDING job on this song....those long notes, higher notes....oh my...."tomorrow, gone, path, world"...so emotional, and just gorgeous!

[boleshi]

this needs more views because this is actually a perfect english cover

[EndlessAerospace]

Actually thinking about these lyrics from Sumi’s perspective pulls at my heart strings so much man… truly beautiful lyrics

[eve]

Thank you so much for doing this cover, It brought back all the emotions from P5R back making me cry and get emotional, your cover transmits all the emotions that are felt towards the end of the game, I'll listen to it on repeat for a long time :) T-T

[RandomaccMinecraft]

Oh shit its finally out LETS GOO
Absolute banger

[gnomeslayer]

I no longer think of this song as a persona song, I only think of it as a goodbye to a loved one song

[themojogamer]

I legit JUST listened to your acapella cover yesterday again. Incredible job. ^^

[crawlingxeno]

Amazing cover. You have real talent for this, dude

[star-vaderchaosbreakercris]

The best girl as the cover of this amazing song

[ginginese]

loved the acapella, love it with all the music behind it. beautiful cover of a phenomenal song!

[someperson]

Good song plus good voice equal perfection

[piotrbugaj]

I'm currently in the making of a giant playlist for myself, containing all the persona songs and covers that I like... and I think, nearing the end, that I already know which is my favorite <3

[thatkingdomheartsguy]

I've never heard a more anime sounding outro theme ever.

[PatManDX]

damn i knew the song was bittersweet and melancoly, and i know it's not necessarily a song about the people we love who've passed on, it FEELS like it?
