Man I am starting to think about Persona music during my day to day stuff 👀Really like the brass use in this one! Good grooves as well

[realSeraphin]

Hell yeah, persona battle themes always go hard!

[MikoYae]

whoever said "Let's give Lotus Juice a chance" in the studio should get a raise

WE ARE GOING TO DISTURBING THE PEACE IN TARTARUS WITH THIS ONE🗣🔥‼🗣🔥‼

If you see the Persona songs performed live (they're on YouTube, 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.

[Die-Coughman]

"When the moons reaching out stars -reload-" has a sick bassline and great percussion

[LixienXIII]

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"

[straivalist]

Gosh the main thing I love about your channel is that you actually pay attention to every single instrument. Most YouTube 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!

[TheElly]

Changing seasons is one of my favorite Persona 3 reload tracks. Im always bopping my head when its playing.

[NotSetsuna]

I'd recommend "The Battle for Everyone's Soul" for a more instrumental battle track from Persona 3!

[Tobafutashi]

"What is your name?"
"Dis"
"Dis what?"
"DISTRUBING THE PEACE, LOOK INTO MY EYES, NOW TELL ME THE THING PEOPLE BLABBING ABOUT BEHIND MY BACK"

[احمداياد-ذخ]

Brother is posting banger after banger

[jesse]

God, Lotus Juice is so sick. The brass and everything about this song blows my mind

[NK-Dragonite]

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

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).

[rocketdog]

fun fact, that descending piano in the chorus is actually a leitmotif of the game's main theme

[silvey]

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

[HollowGolem]

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.

[rasengdori]

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.

[Poppybe]

I love your videos, because despite me having heard these songs multiple times you still help me notice new layers of them I can appreciate
