It's been two months the takemi empire is winning this one

[@bladeunsheathed]

@@kyrieespayos2580 you spelled kawakami wrong

[@IrvingIV]

So no joke I was like "pick a number 1 to 7" to my friend the other day, because i just beat p5 and wanted to have her randomly pick my ng+ romance option, rather than me picking kawakami again. 1. I accidentally made Takemi number 4 (which in japanese is written similar to die/death) 2. She picked 4. So I am now going from Kawakami to Takemi. Considering the high praise both get, and what I know of their characters from what I already did, I think they are tied for bestgirl status.

[@Kurea47]

Now that's one finger-tapping cover for Shoji Meguro's favorite song out of all the songs he composed for P5. :D “This is my personal favorite track in Persona 5. It starts in a quadruple rather like an irregular meter, then turns into triple meter in the chorus, but while the meter goes back in the bridge the rhythm stays at triple meter. It’s a strange track, but I think that its feminine melody expresses Takemi’s feelings well.”

[@JMUSICEnsembleOfficial]

Huh. "Feminine melody"? Now that's an interesting thought. Where did you find this?

[@Kurea47]

Same place I read that the main instrument used in "Price" is a synthesized version of a west Asiatic tribal instrument called a zurna. :) The "feminine melody" might be a word choice when translating but I believe Shoji Meguro is anthropomorphizing his song to describe the tone he was going for when composing a song for the shady yet alluring back alley doctor. It's a translated interview where Shoji Meguro and Toshiki Konishi share some of their thoughts on each track for Persona 5. I always enjoy reading a composer's insight on what they make. And I certainly did enjoy reading the description in this video and your other covers of P5 songs. Please keep it up! You guys look like you're having a blast in the studio! Here's the link: toofargone.moe/2018/05/09/persona-5-original-soundtrack-composer-comments/

[@fadedsun303]

@@Kurea47 Didn't feel like you answered the question. Where did you find that interview with Shoji Meguro?

[@Kurea47]

In the article of the site I linked, the author who was very kind to translate Shoji Meguro's "soundtrack liner notes" or composer comments, cites his source from a Reddit user who provided the original soundtrack liner notes. "Courtesy of Reddit user Om_Badai, here are the Persona 5 Original Soundtrack liner notes (or composer comments) on each song, translated into English and copied with permission for your reading pleasure. Om_Badai is an Japanese/English translator living in Tokyo who passed the JLPT 1 in 2010. We have edited the translation for readability while aiming to respect both translator and authorial intent." Please read it if you haven't already! It's very interesting and it made me appreciate the soundtrack even more. toofargone.moe/2018/05/09/persona-5-original-soundtrack-composer-comments/

[@eduardomaynez6933]

It's such a great satisfaction watching you guys grow up as musicians and in KZbin as well, I remember the first persona session vids you uploaded and thinking about the little amount of views it had and that you definitely deserve more. I'm glad you have more subs now, you definitely deserve them! Keep this up!! We all admire you a lot :)

[@JMUSICEnsembleOfficial]

We love and appreciate all of you that have been here from the beginning! Y'all keep us going 🙏

[@munzutai]

1:15 Can we ignore the drummer flicking his stick off screen and talk about that 3:4 polyrhythm? That was so cool

[@brandonteng99]

anyone else notice the dropped drumstick at 1:15 . Amazing how the drummer kept the beat feeling so smooth!!

[@CloudyIsle07]

Good thing he seemed to have an extra, lol

[@chefinabottle]

All the times I've watched this and I never noticed

[@Slayer-zv9ho]

so smooth no one noticed haha.

[@Samplespaceification]

3:24 - Bartley could solve all Earth’s problems with that sax solo.

[@Hush99]

I was super worried about them getting the drum part right, but the man nailed both the actual chart and the sound.

[@Soundwave1900]

Dude, he nailed it like two times better than the original, its insane! He's playing so much more active without breaking the mood he just became my favorite drummer.

[@syaron4273]

Especially the bell ride sound at the chorus part. That 3/4 time in original was really good sounding and he makes it even more catchy.

[@neverinstone]

especially considering the guy dropped his drum stick at some point lmao

[@syaron4273]

Came back to this track after 5 years and still amazed how good this recording is. Everybody just do their jobs perfectly in that moment. Every part just feels connected. It is so good that It makes me wanna say “Man, what a good life”

[@xandroid001]

The blend of the sax and the guitar on every note is divine.

[@azyyold]
