That is Lyn, yes. She was pretty unknown before Persona 5; they sought out a singer who would fit the vibes they wanted, and now she's a rising star.

[@Dickinabox]

She also had a song in megalobox Rise up/Diamonds and it’s amazing

[@phillemon7664]

@@Dickinabox When I heard that song at the end of Megalobox 2 I nearly cried, capping off that beautiful show with that beautiful song was perfect.

[@nachot6592]

Live Lyn is insane. Her performance of last surprise for the videogame awards is great as well.

[@Inksploded]

Her strikers one was on point like its like the game

[@Raddkann]

Lyn has insane breath control. Later on in this same show, she literally ran around the entire arena and she was still singing flawlessly.

[@blakec8549]

Pretty sure Lyn is just two giant lungs wearing a Japanese girl costume.

[@avacado370]

@@blakec8549 90 percent of her body weight is just lungs, thats it.

[@twodents]

The notes she was carrying at the end of "Hoshi To Bokura To," after everything else she'd sang up until that point, still blow my mind.

[@alkalineclockwork8715]

That is indeed Lyn in the video. Like was mentioned by someone else, she was a fairly unknown jazz singer prior to this, but since her Persona 5 fame she's been featured in a few anime soundtracks (mostly Lupin the Third, being present even in concerts for that) and even other Sega properties, such as doing vocals for a song in an official Sonic arrange album.

[@corruptedteka]

Holy shit I don't think I'd heard the live version before, that was PHENOMENAL ! The sax solo ? And LYN ??? She really went beyond, what a queen ! ( hehe, Queen )

[@Dickinabox]

That sax sent me omg

[@Senelfist87]

I actually was there in the audience for the super live 2017. It was amazing!

[@ReijiNRen]

I wish they'd do a concert like this over here. That'd be awesome.

[@Stormfall7]

Ah yes, Lyn. Whenever you hear a vocal track from Persona 5, you can be sure it's her singing. Her voice is just so, so good. This is the kind of song that makes you not want to leave the part of the game it plays in. I'd say out of all the dungeon/palace themes, "The Days When My Mother Was There" is probably my favorite, but this one is definitely a close second (could be tied with it depending on the day).

[@dennilmesquita9455]

I played this game 3 times, about 500 hours, the music is an essential part of Persona 5 Royal, the game's story is amazing, but the soundtrack perfectly matches every moment in the game!

[@J2ojuiced95]

My favourite of P5’s palace themes. The track really encapsulates the funk and disco influences, that Shoji Meguro had when creating the soundtrack. Considering how much Jesse likes the saxophone, I’m looking forward to when he eventually checks out the reincarnation version of Specialist.

[@bigdawgSAF]

All I'm gonna say is that I knew that saxophone was gonna hit you hard lol

[@ruinedsky4208]

it's nice to see the pure joy on your face while listening to and reviewing this beautiful piece of music. i love it so much

[@Rixstarian]

Only surprise was the shades not coming on, but bang on for the vibes.

[@JessesAuditorium]

too busy jamming

[@Kurlija]

That's one of my faves from P5, glad you covered it! That recording was used for the Persona 5 Dancing rhythm game, which might be why it's so high quality. As for the sax, live versions of The Almighty (P4) also regularly feature it, and it's always amazing.

[@dafire9634]

i now discovered where "breakdancer" comes from, thanks jesse.

[@CrimRui]

Glad that you watched it live. This 2017 concert is one of my favorites. Hope you watch it all in the future.

[@blakec8549]

I was shocked the first time I saw lyn too. It's almost like she's just too small to support such a massive voice. And just like uncle Jesse, I fell in love instantly.

[@mohhughes4870]

Lyn is amazing, and - yes - beautiful. The dancers are representative of many of the female characters in the game - the only male dancer is the protagonist that you play. Lyn herself is dressed as Mokoto Niijima, a core character (originally an antagonist, becomes a partner, her sister is a super-DA investigating the Phantom Thieves). The entire concert, in Yokohama, is about 3 hours and includes music from the singers from P3, 4 and 5. And sometimes they coordinate - I would have loved to have been there for the concert. I personally love the Rhodes piano. Shoji is incredible, and I think he has produced all of the Persona music (maybe not Shin Megami Tensei).

[@yaboibigsmoke2733]

I don’t believe he did the ps1 versions of p1 or p2 as well

[@Inksploded]

Shes still the antagonist of fun

[@mohhughes4870]

@@yaboibigsmoke2733 I think both of those were PSX-platform games, and frankly I don't think the technology then could have supported his awesome music.

[@mojojojox5043]

I've heard this song but it's been a second. It's starts off with the Persona 5 everyone is familiar with, great walking bass and the vocals are great but that's always the case with Lyn. Not much to say since it's the average Persona 5 song, that's not a bad thing. A fun little groove. I like it The live version sounds studio quality, the performances are all very well done. I notice the organ in this version more than the original. I love the surprise sax solo, pure banger and the high note from Lyn was great. This was fun and I like this one too.

[@JessesAuditorium]

Song mentioned in this video; The Jimmy Castor Bunch - It's Just Begun kzbin.info/www/bejne/jarPdJaaidetiZY

[@Minicou]

that is one of my top 10 album of all time :)

[@dniwetamp]

The quality of the live recording is so good because it's from an official release - it was in the P3/5 Dancing spin-off

[@matyrito3273]

This live is absolutely amazing. They play songs from (almost) the entire franchise and the sound just as good, or even better than the original versions in the games. Also they bring the singers from Persona games from 3 to 5, and seeing them in stage together is fantastic. A must for every Persona fan, or even just a good music enjoyer.

[@rhettmitchell]

Yoooo hell yeah, I just listened to this song yesterday!!

[@pwizandtheween3652]

I love this game so much. The music is amazing. Lyn's voice puts me in a good mood too. I wish I could see her perform live.

[@Raddkann]

we gotta get him to listen to -Price- Layer Cake

[@Raddkann]

oh nevermind he did listen to Price

[@Raddkann]

IT’S ACTUALLY ABSURD THAT HE HASN’T LISTENED TO LAYER CAKE THOUGH

[@omanitoo]

The whole concert is nuts, incredible quality

[@xXFoiXx]

Well now we opened another Pandora's box of Suggestions with the Super Live I'll start Listen to Beneath the Mask - Persona 5 Signs of Love - Persona 4 When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars - Persona 3 and then the Everyday Mix from the Super Live It is so great.

[@Torenhire]

Give me Lyn or give me death!

[@ChronosLawliet123]

For some reason, I feel like this song perfectly fits Lyn. In the game, this song plays during Sae Nijima's palace, and Lyn reminds me of Sae a lot

[@kestrelynn]

I still cannot believe youve not reacted to 'last surprise' The normal version, the scramble version, the live version, the dancing in starlight remixes, theres so many versions of Personas most popular songs and you haven't seen any yet, would love to see them all in one mega video

[@CsMatt]

Id never seen that live version before and holy shit they killed it.

[@velvetsmoke5981]

Love the video dude, think you'd really dig the Theme of D4

[@nsin121]

BTW the ENTIRE concert is on youtube and worth the watch.

[@itsjonesh]

Lyn`s breath control is INSANE! Her performance live never ceases to amaze me!

[@Klefth]

Mannnnnn, this game's basslines. It so makes me want to get a bass and learn to play, even though the last instrument I laid hands on was a recorder in freaking primary school... I can't with the bass in this game.

[@ravssb]

this is one of my favourite persona 5 songs

[@AJTDaWin]

Yes finally, one of my absolute favourite songs from the P5 soundtrack. Best Palace theme and you can’t change my mind For context this plays in a casino, hence Champange flutes and dinner suits that’s keep your focus away from the cheating hands

[@sammorin254]

Since you like sax, you should check out the Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze soundtrack. David Wise is a saxophone master.

[@zealous404]

The best palace soundtrack, every palace soundtrack was good but when I got to here for first time I'd take my time doing this part just to listen to it longer

[@upstartkarma]

Holy stankface Batman, that sax solo was cherry

[@Malacite]

Yep that's her and yes she's gorgeous. Love the energy she brings. What's really cool is that she's in full cosplay as Mokoto (took me a second to realize it).and another of the performers up there is dressed as Futaba. I didn't notice any other PS5 characters on stage though. Such a legendary game ❤ (and equally legendary time sink lol 120+ hr average playthrough)

[@isaacnuketon]

You didn't see Ann?

[@johnnychopsocky]

That bass line is so damn *HYPE*

[@twodents]

At the next Super Live show two years later they did a damn flamenco version of this song.

[@KeatsTube]

If you like the saxophone in Persona, I highly recommend checking out the Specialist and Like a Dream Come True, both from P4 Dancing, as well as the Kozuka remix of Tokyo Daylight. Super fun songs that I know you’ll enjoy, and I hope someone recommends it for you to listen to it here!

[@kainthe4th]

Nice, menu theme from Legend of Dragoon, nice that it was rereleased for PS5

[@splaturials9156]

Those backup singers are lyn lmao

[@yunoleo3620]

Yeah Whims of fate is something, and the fact that is the only palace theme with vocals it’s even more special when you hear it during your playthrough 👍 Oh Jesse you need to react to New Battle, the newest track from the Xenoblade 3 DLC, this has everything !🫣

[@MagnyusG]

Never heard the live version, actually gave me a new appreciation for the song, as I wasn't as big a fan of the original as much as some other folks are.

[@chroipahtz]

Same here actually. Her ad libs and the sax really push it over the top.

[@ssjsylver]

Pharmaceutical companies should be glad that Persona is not massively mainstream... because they'd sell way less antidepressants and sleeping pills if more people listened to Persona music.

[@gracelesstarnished573]

Nice review as always. Maybe Bloodborne - Living Failures OST next?

[@williamhutsch851]

I always pictured Lyn as a black woman. Kinda surprising to see shes not.

[@MasterChron]

And to think this is what Persona uses as a dungeon song. I'd watch the crud out of a P5 playthrough btw!

[@MustacheDLuffy]

It’s the least dungeon sounding theme I think in the game. It’s also the only vocal theme too for one

[@Orthodoctus]

The OST version is nice, but it didn't really do it for me. The live one, on the other hand, is phenomenal.
