The reason the lyrics are always in English is because Atlus views lyrics as just another instrument. As in just another part of the music to help players focus. They feel if the lyrics were in Japanese, or in this case, the native language; it would break that focus for the native player base. In short, the intent is for the Japanese players not to understand them. That's why a lot of the lyrics in P4 and P1 PSP didn't make sense. They wouldn't really care even today if it wasn't for people like Ben Franklin and Lotus Juice being on the staff. The latter actually labs with the singers and gives them English lessons to the extent he records his own vocal versions of the tracks first.
@@breloompauncher5593 P4 had Ben Franklin on some tracks and it doesn't really have much engrish in its music (just some funky pronunciations). If you actually go through the P4 lyrics they make sense. P3 is where the english gets weird; When the Moon's Reaching Out Stars' title alone should tell you how bad things can get without even hearing the lyrics.
@@Dabst3rPlays I have a joke in my head that Atlus' greatest gift to humanity wasn't the Persona franchise but the Persona soundtrack XD. Can they just convert into a music studio?
That's the one thing i love with the persona 5 soundtrack : somehow, most of the ost are related and kinda respond to each other when you think about it.
@@KENMA196 another point is that future Persona 5 generation projects are going into Royal route more, after streaming restrictions of the 3rd semester are lifted in JP. They are taking that route with Tactica DLC story, and Reload DLC Personas. Phantom X might be affected to some extent, in terms of potential playable Phantom Idols and limited time event stories. It's possible Sumi, Akechi/Loki, Sophia, Zenkichi, Erina and Toshiro will be future units post official launch.
I tried to decipher the lyrics by ear, over like 30 minutes and some of the words were just not coming to me no matter how much I listened so these are probably not correct so if anyone has any suggestions, reply and I'll update this. This is what I got from listening. What you think for An open door Drop them off You used to jabber Wake up from deep lie Taking the mask off let it burn up to break that thinking spell As we meet your fire right here Helping to bring thunder Foiled? Hold on There's a soul within to ponder over Take and shout Giving the heart that you'd ever be We can sense the fever But it seems the cowards fake my scene Break in, Break out Time to take it over We take pride in anger To this time the danger chasing now Hiding nowhere Let the high lord know, give the final fatal shot Sin teeming heart Braved by my self For someone else Pearl red I loom The blue shining bright Alter your braveness It seems that desire called a brand new life You are nothing old anymore But the thieves are bolder Foiled? Hold on There's a soul within to ponder over Take and shout Giving the heart that you'd ever be We can sense the fever But it seems the cowards fake my scene Break in, Break out Time to take it over We take pride in anger To this time the danger chasing now Hiding nowhere Let the high lord know, give the final fatal shot Shining flame lighting up the way So now my friend Out of time, end the game We take pride in anger To become the danger, take me now Ready tiger? Burn up One more trick till the end Hiding nowhere Let the high lord know, give the final fatal shot
Haven't been listening for as long as you, but here's what some of the lyrics sound like in my ears, if it helps? Another door -> An open door There's a soul within to bother over -> There's a soul within to ponder over Giving the heart you'd never be -> Giving the heart that you'd ever be But it seems the cowards break I see -> But it seems the cowards fake my scene For a diamond -> Pearl red (something?? Can't figure it out) Who's shining bright -> The blue shining bright (the second time the verse shows up in the song, I hear it like this) We take pride in banter -> We take pride in anger To this time the danger chasing now -> To become the danger, take me now We take time in answer -> We take pride in anger It's possible it's wrong, but it's worth a shot putting my two cents in :P
Been listening and I think a few of these lines might be accurate “An open door” -> “An overdue” “To this time the danger chasing now” -> “Jump in, come the danger can’t fade now” “Pearl red I loom” -> “Pearl red aglow” “But the thieves are bolder” -> “But the thieves uphold us” “Ready tiger, burn up” -> “Ready, sire? Burn up”
Break in, break out. Time to take it over. Cool references to P5 the Animation and Royal. Does anyone know who is writing these songs? The song with the video that had her singing in the studio had lyrics that looked like a bad Google translation. I,wonder if the songwriters are from Japan or China or some of each.
Honestly now that I understand the whole point of p5x (china couldn’t have persona 5 cuz censorship so atlus went out of their way to fix that), I think its awesome
@@Demi-JokerTokyo Abyss Battle is an absolute banger. Phenomenal battle theme. I emailed Sega asking them to release it on cd. It can already be bought digitally, but if I can’t have a cd I’ll just listen on UA-cam.
Much better than Prison Labor, and the instrumental version of Fatal Desire. Never really liked Prison Labor. Not sure if the flute “solo” fits here though, because this is a Velvet Room challenge BGM, unless there’s something there that I’m not in on, I’m an American based observer, so correct me if I’m wrong.
I just hope they do more with the velvet room challenges in this game. They have the opportunity to do something cool like add weekly challenges and special battles against past game characters like they did with Yu and Makoto in P5
Prison Labor was a song made by a Persona 2 composer, Toshiki Konishi. Fatal Desire has a similar style to what Shoji Meguro made for Persona 5 so that's probably why this song fits better.
@@moomer2675 What I meant by the “flute solo” was that it felt out of place, since the Velvet Room goes for a more orchestral feeling BGM, that’s why the flute felt so odd, but sounded SO GOOD!
@@B-ot2xx I’m not talking about the flute solo at all lol. Im just saying Prison Labor was not made by Shoji Meguro which is probably why you didn’t like it because the styles are different.
it is a good game from all perspectives except the fact that it is a gotcha game. Wish someone could stream the main storyline and the storyline with P5 characters on UA-cam.
I don't think it's very good. Feels like it's missing a hook or something. Could also just be that P5 is milked at this point and I'm over the premise. I'd prefer a P6.
Persona 6 is being worked on and has been worked on for quite a while now I might be remembering wrong but I could have sworn a leaker said we weren't to far from the games reveal something like in the next 1-2 years. Though take it with a pinch of salt because I could be remembering wrong
@@fazegregpaul2352 If so, that's great news. I do hope that those who are excited about this game and music enjoy it, but I'll probably be passing since I've played 4 P5 games now (P5, P5R, P5S, P5D) and P5T makes the 4th release for this P5. It's just too much for me, lol. Now P3R, I'm all over that!
I will say, this feels MUCH more complete than the instrumental. I knew it was missing something, and now I’m digging it.
The artstyle of persona 5 games are so good man
*is
persona 5 imo is just peak atlus art. srsly it's just sooo good
Chinese only game made by japanese developers and with english vocal osts... makes perfect sense.
well, it’s make my chinese developers too, and persona tracks have like ALWAYS been in english first.

Nice profile picture 😄
And it came with a game too!

I knew mama Lyn was gonna pop off eventually 😭 now this feels like a persona 5 game 🔥
are you implying she hasn't been serving since her debut? what???
@@Conner3326 This song never had vocals in the game far as I know off till now, every other was just instrumental
This is actually Lyns fourth song from the game.
Lol
Even after so many tracks Lyn's vocals can still give me goosebumps.
So 1:14 to 1:19 just made a P5 The Animation that smoothly went into a Royal reference and holy crap I adore it

This sounds so good
Hi
@@Ueslx.600Hi !
1:05 when it goes to the Chorus it's incredible, may be top 5 favorite battle theme from this series and probably a top 15 JRPG battle theme all time
Another peak song from lyn
Are we really going to ignore how good 0:53 to 1:15 is? It’s such a great buildup for the mood leading into the chorus
0:00 I expected Outlaw's Lullaby from Yakuza 2 after that little drum intro. Good lord, my heart skipped a beat.
I tried to decipher the lyrics by ear, over like 30 minutes and some of the words were just not coming to me no matter how much I listened so these are probably not correct so if anyone has any suggestions, reply and I'll update this. This is what I got from listening.
What you think for
An open door
Drop them off
You used to jabber
Wake up from deep lie
Taking the mask off
let it burn up to break that thinking spell
As we meet your fire right here
Helping to bring thunder
Foiled? Hold on
There's a soul within to ponder over
Take and shout
Giving the heart that you'd ever be
We can sense the fever
But it seems the cowards fake my scene
Break in, Break out
Time to take it over
We take pride in anger
To this time the danger chasing now
Hiding nowhere
Let the high lord know, give the final fatal shot
Sin teeming heart
Braved by my self
For someone else
Pearl red I loom
The blue shining bright
Alter your braveness
It seems that desire called a brand new life
You are nothing old anymore
But the thieves are bolder
Foiled? Hold on
There's a soul within to ponder over
Take and shout
Giving the heart that you'd ever be
We can sense the fever
But it seems the cowards fake my scene
Break in, Break out
Time to take it over
We take pride in anger
To this time the danger chasing now
Hiding nowhere
Let the high lord know, give the final fatal shot
Shining flame lighting up the way
So now my friend
Out of time, end the game
We take pride in anger
To become the danger, take me now
Ready tiger? Burn up
One more trick till the end
Hiding nowhere
Let the high lord know, give the final fatal shot
Haven't been listening for as long as you, but here's what some of the lyrics sound like in my ears, if it helps?
Another door -> An open door

@@informationstation1659 Thanks for the help! I think these sound way more like what it's saying than what I thought, I updated the lyrics, thanks!
@@seabit253 It's no problem, glad I could help!

“An open door” -> “An overdue”

“Pearl red I loom” -> “Pearl red aglow”

“Ready tiger, burn up” -> “Ready, sire? Burn up”
"Take and Shout" sort of sounds like "Gaze and Shout"
WE MAKING IT OUT KANESHIRO'S PALACE WITH DIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯
I really do hope they release it in the west eventually.

Jasmine Webb is the songwriter for this song.
We making it out of mementos with this one
Man I wish they'd release the game for N.A
I crave it
Proof that Lyn's amazing voice makes everything instantly better.
マ、マーラ様あああああああああぁ！？
Nice
i heard the first half second and thought this was yakuza 2
Honestly now that I understand the whole point of p5x (china couldn’t have persona 5 cuz censorship so atlus went out of their way to fix that), I think its awesome
Except didn’t Persona 5 actually release in China?
Is that a mara wearing a hat in the back. Is that how they got around china's censorship. 😂
Yes.... Yes it is 😅
They do not miss damn!
It is so criminal to lock this banger behind a gacha game
Indeed
Dx2 has also banger themes and no one talks about that game
@@danielmayonaka8818 I concur, Dx2 has a lot of certified bangers

I need the lirycs
0:00 chat is this An Outlaw's Lullaby from Yakuza Kiwami 2 made by nagoshi himself???? 😩😩😩
Sounds like the new Rivers in the Dessert theme, regardless, this a bop nonetheless
It's the prison labor challenges theme
Persona 5 fans be eating good recently 😎
hope this game had more late teens what I mean is 17 to 19 aka collage teens if p6 was collage teen that be awesome
lol the phantom thieves are mostly 17
The girl in the video, rin, is freshman college student. One of the new nav actually middle aged woman in her 40s.
@@invertbridthere's is a 9 - 12 year old who is a miner not kidding lol
@@Minecrayey yea i know, gotta put some loli in gacha game somewhere lol
I don’t see why Persona would go to a college group when the main demographic is Japanese highschooler boys
This girl in the picture screams Persona 5 more than the protagonist. lol
0:15 I-is that Megalovania?
Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed that
Has persona 5 vibes
WONDER why 🤔
there's a date for the launch on global?
No unfortunately
hope's released soon i need more persona 5 drug@@fruityyusuke

No

This is the theme you play when you do Velvet Challenges. So yes, you'll hear this a lot in the hard content runs :P
bro did i hear 'that stinky smell' 😭???
she said spell but still these lyrics are kinda wacky 😭
Anyone have lyrics?
Hi 👋 yea I’m good 🙂 🎉
Hi Jacob
this video has too many ads
Use revanced extended
Chinese be like: *hate Japan*
Atlus be like: how about a gacha game, my fellow narrow-eyed customers?
Imagine if this wasn't a disgusting chinese gatcha game sigh...... what could have been
Now that it’s out, it’s actually very fun
it is a good game from all perspectives except the fact that it is a gotcha game. Wish someone could stream the main storyline and the storyline with P5 characters on UA-cam.
