[@luffyvoldigo9273]

Hi, could you react to All Overlord Openings and Endings, they are bangers and I think you will enjoy reacting to them. I think you reacted to Overlord Opening 1 in All Anime Opening video but I request you to make a separate video on Overlord Opening and Endings they are bangers and I hope you will enjoy it . Thank You And have a nice day !!!

[@couchking9582]

Hi Tony, your persona videos always get me. I would suggest for a change of tone, "Fleeting Moment" from Final Fantasy 14. Much Love and Thank you

[@crthejediknightninja]

Anything by Natori, overdose and Cult are both bangers

[@Wynn_WWW]

you should do Memories of You - Reload version man, it such a banger

The game starts in April with you in school. This song starts the 2nd semester in September when you return from summer break. It’s an amazing shift and the first time you hear the song throughout the entire game. Was addicted when I heard it

[@Averagejon95]

When I tell you I sat there for 10 minutes listening to it just vibing to it and forgetting I was playing 😂

[@Lessembarrassingman]

Every persona song creeps up on me. Like I’ll be listening to it for like five minutes and then suddenly I realize out of nowhere I realize and I go “oh!”

[@metalhoable]

Not to mention by the time you hear this the attachments built with the characters in the game make it feel that much more impactful. You feel like you’ve reached the halfway point but there’s no slowing down. Persona games are goat

[@Lessembarrassingman]

@@metalhoable no joke dude, persona 3 is what motivated me to get my drivers license after years of putting it off. I OWE this game

[@94.w]

mann i couldn’t of said it any better

[@dencina202]

One of the great qualities that the OSTs of the "PERSONA" franchise have, is that several songs play while you do "mundane" things in the game, i.e., you're walking down the street, and this song plays, or you start going into the dorms and "Iwatodai Dorm" plays, or you go out at night for a walk while "Color Your Night" is playing in the background. And in battles, songs like "Mass Destruction" or "It's Going Down Now" are played. Nice video Tony!

[@TheLastDaysOfSorrow]

sure hope people have been or are requesting "Memories of You" as well. The composer (Shoji Meguro) considers that piece to be his Magnum Opus (and he's right)

[@thatoneguy_71]

I hope he does memories of you, it’s a great song.

[@justsomeguy727]

You're correct about when the song plays tony! It comes up for the first time once the seasons change during the school year at the end of spring going into the start of summer. As for the old version of the track, the english vocals you hear in this one dont exist at all. the instruments are arranged very similarly still but they used french speaking (imagine the inaudible vocals from this version but instead it's in French. That kind of vibe). I personally prefer the newer version cause it feels like a much more rounded out song, but both versions are great all the same.

[@IvoryMadness.]

Thanks! I haven't played the game, so it's nice to see where this plays 👍

[@grammy_hnng]

french lady will always be remembered

[@shoveitup_inc.9717]

It says “updated” because when the game was being teased and trailers were coming out, many channels would take the music from those trailers and “clean” them, removing all the trailer sound effects and such. Now that the game is out, all the music can just be taken from the game.

[@jinshim2536]

[@maiku7648]

This song plays during the Fall, after school (2nd semester). In the original the chorus was different and the rapping verses were in French, as they loved the use of "Je pense donc je suis" (I think therefore I am) which plays a role in the characters' development

[@Camohflage]

thank you so much for reacting to this song. with persona many people talk about how good the music is but i feel like not enough people talk about this song. i know there are some people talking but the moment i heard it i thought people would be all over this

[@kt249]

man i can't wait! please do more persona!

[@remimakesmusic]

In the game, this song begins to play while at the school starting on September 1, when the seasons change. Persona 3 Reload is a remake of the original game from 2006, so it has updated visuals, actors, and it's original OST has been completely remade from the ground up using more modern sounds, while also adding in some new tracks (Full Moon, Full Life, Color Your Night, and It's Going Down Now being the most notable). The original song remains pretty faithful to this version, but in this remade version they added vocals over the brass in the verse after the build up, and the low vocals before the Stevie Wonder-esque breakdown used a French sample instead of in-house recordings.

[@Link-pr9id]

the way i stood up and was dancing on my chair the first time this song played in the game...SUCH A GOOD VIBE

[@shd_samurai9676]

I'm so glad you reacted to Changing Season. It's an aboslute banger when it first comes on during the game.

[@mmmsheehoo]

Old ver was from the trailer and was "fixed". The new version is from the game's official soundtrack dlc Changing seasons is the bgm during autumn season and is played during the day after school. Color your night is the night time BGM from the beginning of the game till the end of Autumn

[@chaosjoey123]

I kind a miss the French stuff from the original changing seasons

[@VoltGraphics]

Nice!! Hope you also do "When the Moon is reaching out stars". Another banger from the game.

[@violetystruok]

Excited to hear your thoughts on this track 👀 I think the Persona 5 Strikers OST might be something you like, there are a looot of banger tracks in there that I would like to recommend, but I think a track like "Daredevil" would be a good song to start off with.

[@rhettmitchell]

That one and also Counter Strike from Strikers!

[@horsebox5138]

Oh he might like Daredevil

[@FartherCaspian]

It's insane how many good tracks Strikers has

[@violetystruok]

@@horsebox5138 yes i think so too!

[@aquilafasciata5781]

Counter strike hiiiits

[@organbandage4822]

I would love to see you look at the ending theme for this game “Kimi no Kioku” as there are so many cool layers that I think you would have fun picking apart.

[@alispie]

Yesss. I love the bass line so much, the minute I find good tabs I'm making a Rocksmith chart for this song 😂

[@kt249]

you should check out OG persona 3 soundtrack as well, especially burn my dread and burn my dread last battle. Persona 3 Reload is the modern remake of the game with re-arranged tracks. Oh, there are some new shiny songs as well, as you might've known :)

[@TheDrunkDetective]

Song actually first plays when the game is indeed changing seasons haha

[@hundvd_7]

9:18 This one is quite different, actually. Both are awesome though. In the OG there are no vocals accompanying the majn melody of the chorus. _Instead_ there is some spoken-word French throughout.

[@b0unce805]

That bassline is fun, gonna have to try an transcribe that one lol And of course that rhythmic clav keyboard on top is 👌

[@FernaMedel]

Persona 3 Reload is a remake of the PS2 original Persona 3, of which there was another two versions made, Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable. The soundtrack for the original is where these updated versions are coming from, definitely worth a listen to if you are curious on what they sounded like back in that era.

[@yourenutz6840]

I think the ending song Kimi no Kioku, the battle for everyone’s souls, or moons reaching stars would be great

[@thefantasyhero]

Thanks for the review! You should do Memories of You Persona 3 Reload as well! It is the ending theme and it is groovy!

[@Raddkann]

The game is based on a calendar, so we go through the course of about a year in the game. This song plays when you’re at school and during times when (coincidentally) the season changes.

[@arielmartinez94]

5:35 the "inaudible parts" like this throughout the song were in French in the og version of this song, also. There's better quality versions to listen to since the songs were released officially

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

The language won't impact that mix. It's BURIED

[@HProtagVtuber]

Hello :) Watching your reaction videos to game music and anime songs / openings is very enjoyable while I am currently recovering from a minor operation. It inspired me to make my own version :)

[@notsureifsrs1]

Man i can never get enough of you reacting to persona tracks! Thanks for this vid. Maybe try Iwatodai Dorm if you like simple stuff that just works well. The bass in that is amazing.

[@thebekmanz]

This was the track that made me immediately realize P3 was very episodic as a game. Moreso than 4 or 5 now that I think of it.

[@aussieboy4279]

Changing Seasons starts playing when your at school after the end of summer break. It says updated version because these songs were released before the game came out, and the previous version was only the first half of the song.

[@kt249]

It says updated version because before game came out, there were audio rips from game trailers which weren't the cleanest nor highest quality. This is the audio track itself, not from trailers or other videos.

[@4shtia]

If you wanna try a non-persona game but still a video game song with Vocals, may I recommend 'Same Old Story' from Cassette Beasts? Interestingly the vocals are sorta treated as separate layers, which only kick in after you fuse. It might be an interesting analysis given that context.

[@AndrewDLuffy]

Aye just in time for it let’s go 🔥 This song is such a good vibe I sometimes listen to it when driving just to put me in a good mood So yeah the music plays when you are walking around during the day time onward from September after the 2nd semester in the game it’s a really Awsome shift from moon reaching out stars OST

[@slicknickkcin]

when the moon's reaching out stars next, please. stellar drum work on this piece in particular

[@SuspiciousScout]

Others have said it, but this track plays in your "After School" free time from September onwards, and replaces the original After School theme: "When the Moon's Reaching Out Stars" which played from April to July/August. Changing Seasons is more upbeat and energetic song, in my opinion.

[@ImArchiie]

awesome you decided to listen to this one, really one of my favorite tracks in all of persona

[@gavinatorthegr835]

So this is the updated, or rewritten version, an older song from the original early release of the game. Of course, like stated many times by the comments, P3 reload is a modern remaster of the old early 2000 lunch of the original game. And with this remake, they rewrote I think almost every single song in the game. As well as adding new songs. This song specifically plays during the summer months of the games Sim/rpg side. And even more specifically it plays only in the school, not to sure on that one tho.

[@UltimateCrusherJoe]

Its the school theme for when you come back from summer break, the original is also pretty cool its less electronic and has a different song, also really good, might be cool to see you check it out and just talk about which you prefer.

[@antoninolocicero7193]

we really are changing seasons with this song!

[@V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

Now he has to do the Ending Credits Theme and the Battle Theme.

[@ricardoorozco9757]

The first time i listened to changing seasons was in The university playing The original versión of P3 in my playstation 2 , and dude when it changed to sumer season in The game , this song begins to play and i Say OMG , WTF this game is one surprise after another.

[@kaboshiVT]

Updated version I believe is just referring to the version of the game as persona 3 reload is a remake of the originals.

[@Gestrid]

You hear this in the beginning of the game's 2nd term (the game can be divided by school terms; Japan has three school terms). The main thing that's changed in this track is... they added lyrics. The original game used a trumpet instead of lyrics. Additionally, there used to be a sample in the song that has been replaced by those lower volume vocals that can hear in between verses in the Reload version. The sample was in French. It wasn't just sampled because it sounded good, either, because, when you translate it to English, you can tell it relates to the themes of the game.

[@__dane__]

In the game the mix of the vocals is actually a bit more audible during that one section

[@stephaniewijaya5602]

this game is like your daily life there is calendar and time so this song is played around some time in calendar in that game :D

[@morethanlikelylemmy9695]

Changing seasons plays at the start of the second semester in game and it plays after school, during evening color your night plays

[@paragonrobbie9270]

Gotta agree with some others and recommend "The Battle for Everyone's Souls." It plays during the final boss fight, and since the whole final part of the game hits you like a bittersweet train, the song sticks with you long after finishing the game.

[@yellowluma101]

The lyrics of the song are nice, I recommend watching songs like these with the lyrics attached (even though they are hard to hear)

[@paruparu282]

I like "When The Moon’s Reaching Out Stars" in the game. This bassline is so hard.

[@DuyNguyen-cs5jj]

You should try When moon reaching out stars too! They are so good

[@vandairgaming481]

I just realized…if he’s like really big on funk and stuff…Persona 5’s Last Surprise would be heaven for him😂

[@gitsnak777]

Not that it matters, but I really love how as you get further into the game the theme songs evolve over time.

[@jetman2045.]

If there is one thing I can expect from persona music, it would be them funky bass lines.

[@dorianTFF]

It feels a lot like when Daft Punk made a disco record that they would want to sample to make their more traditional house music.

[@toonpik7]

I believe "updated version" means its a re-upload in higher quality. I know lots of people uploaded versions of songs from trailers before the game came out, which are now replaced with straight rips from the game.

[@franzmikolan4109]

[@renancristyan0099]

[@avestrustheone6349]

I’d love to see you take a look at Shin Megami Tensei V’s sound track. It’s getting a remaster this summer and it’s got some absolute bangers. “Battle -Destruction” is easily one of my favorite boss themes ever, it’s so unique, and I think you’d get a kick out of it.

[@x-soap-user-x297]

A great song from the persona series is “axe to grind” would love to see your reaction

[@pitipuziko3555]

Guys, how is it called when the vocal line changes to vocalist starting quietly speaking words to the rhythm and it all gets buried under the instruments, like at 3:38? It is not the first time I hear such thing in music, but I've never found out what is it.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Its just like a spoken lyric that feels sung/said. The dynamic level is SO low though... its actually not a good way to mix vocal lines because its not tangible. Persona stuff seems to do that often. The mix is quite upsidedown there.

[@pitipuziko3555]

@@DrumRollTonyReacts thanks for the answer! But does it have some name, a term? As a music trick of some sort, maybe? Because I've seen it quite often (in Japanese music specifically) just to consider it a random thing. Some musicians are definitely going somewhere with it (and I like it, tbh). But I have zero idea how it is even named and google doesn't help much. As somewhat quick example of another similar trick, I've recently listened to Jujutsu Kaisen ost. The song name is Fight Again. Something similar happens at 3:25.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

@@pitipuziko3555 Def not a trick. Its not a good approach TBH. It's not different than adding any other instrument into the mix. For instance in that same spot, there could be a guitar playing the same rhythm or a keyboard etc... There is no real name other than just something else in the mix or the stack of harmonic layers that is happening all at once. The reason it sorta sucks is because the timbre of the human voice with words is different than an instrument. Instrument sounds are designed around how they function and work within the harmonious efforts of the design. Their blend is still really based on pitch and timbre... but a voice is based off a language and IF you are going to put words in that nobody can really hear... what is the point? You might as well have them scat if they are htat low and its meant just to be a sound. Or just just human voice without actual language being said.

[@mohhughes4870]

P5 set the standard on game music for me, and Royale just added some good and (for me) not-as-good versions from the original. I miss "Get Up, Stand Up, Get Out There" and "Hoshi to bakura to." Lyn, the singer for P5(R) is amazing. The "updated version" for P3I think refers to progressing from PS2 (? at best - P4 definitely is PS2, I have it) to PS4/5 -with Blu-Ray capacity, the music can be so much richer. "Changinfg Seasons" refers to the students' change in student uniform from summer to autumn. Though the uniform rule must be relaxed as several characters wear attire that deviates from what you shoulld wear. But that's a character-line issue - that continues into P5.
