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

do not forget to set high video quality when listening on UA-cam - this also affects the audio quality (unfortunately, in this video, 480p is set) and the compression feels very strong.
@@VLADSMESH What is indicating to you that it was set to 480?
incredible song and incredible analysis as always tony. I hope you will still bring some Persona songs. I recommend some songs by persona 5 strickers since they are closer to your genre. Bravo!
@@DrumRollTonyReacts In the bottom right of the video make sure the little gear says "HD" in red. If it doesn't, click on it and make sure Video Quality is set to 1080p. If it doesn't have a 1080p option you might have to find another video of the song on UA-cam
You gotta react to the entire persona 5/5 royal and persona 4/4 golden soundtracks too. Persona 5 has a more jazz inspiration
The female vocals slayed so hard
She gets too much hate
@@dirtydirtsgt4751all because of mass destruction every thing else is amazing
@@user-is2xe3ot7o
While Mass Destruction doesn’t hit as hard as the original. LJ does come in and make it better. But nothing can beat the original
@user-is2xe3ot7o i actually like the new mass destruction remix lol. It might even surpass the original for me
@@dirtydirtsgt4751 I like it too but I still like the og better
WE ARE GOING TO DISTURBING THE PEACE IN TARTARUS WITH THIS ONE🗣🔥‼🗣🔥‼
WE ARE GOING TO SEAL NYX WITH THIS ONE🗣🔥🔥🔥
WE'RE GONNA BECOME A F*CKING DOOR WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🔥🔥💯💯🚨🚨
WE GETTIN’ A BIT REPETITIVE WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥💯💯
"When the moons reaching out stars -reload-" has a sick bassline and great percussion
Oooh this my fav
The original it's better, but the Best versión it's one of the PS4 dancing mixes
I do prefer the original version though, the new one isn’t bad
@@nicolasespejo3039 it's not better you simply prefer it
@@cristianoducceschi3547no it is better
Hell yeah, persona battle themes always go hard!
This one was especially nice
Battle themes go hard, but the sad ones hit just as much
all the memories of and living with determination tracks actually ruined me with the whole tonal shift of the game@@anon3600
we dont talk about Mass Destruction - Reload 💀
@@The1AndOnly6133I think it’s fine but they should’ve had the vocalist sing “bay-beh bay-beh” rather than “bay-bee bay-bee” had that change been made I feel it wouldn’t get nearly as much hate as it does.
whoever said "Let's give Lotus Juice a chance" in the studio should get a raise
Eh, I actually prefer Lotus Juice's parts in P4D than either P3 or Reload.
He's like 50/50 hit and miss. Persona fans glaze anything in the series
@@JagrasSneedandFeedas long as the music is great so be it
@@JagrasSneedandFeedYou're not totally wrong, but that hit or miss factor is mostly personal preference. It's not like he's ever done an objectively bad job or delivered a lazy performance.
@@Til_What it's usually because the lyrics are awkward because it's not his first language, which is not a bad thing, it's clearly part of the style. I just can't help but roll my eyes when people say he's a lyrical genius with some of the goofy shit he writes. The sound works, he could be saying anything but it works because of his delivery
I’ve been waiting for this!
I've also been waiting for this!
You see that Shinji?
ALL OUT ATTCK!
"I've been waiting for this! Let's get in there!"
Where have you been?
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"
I can for sure hear the "BABY BABY BABY" from Mass Destruction, I've heard both songs way too much.
BABY BABY BABY BABY BAAAEEUUUGH!
Brother is posting banger after banger
Word on the street is that they're still waiting for Tony to miss
I'd recommend "The Battle for Everyone's Soul" for a more instrumental battle track from Persona 3!
it has too little of the vocals in it
@@JButterZJ "more instrumental" ...
It's peak fighting music😭
maybe he should listen to aria of the soul first though? since your recommendation is a remix
@@jakereich2080definitely worth a reaction first before that. More payoff
Changing seasons is one of my favorite Persona 3 reload tracks. Im always bopping my head when its playing.
It's so good I never want to do any social links cause then it stops playing
Gosh the main thing I love about your channel is that you actually pay attention to every single instrument. Most UA-cam 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!
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).
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.
_I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS_
if you’re interested in more persona 3 reload stuff, “changing seasons - reload” is great! i also love “heaven” from p4
changing seasons is soo good
Actually I want to see him do the arial of the soul review first
I LOVE heaven 😢
others have already said it but yes Changing Seasons is absolutely beautiful as well. im not sure though if theres as much to talk about in that track than in this one so maybe a combination of Changing Seasons and another shorter song? if not id totally understand its just that changing seasons is genuinely beautiful
this quickly became one of my favorite battle themes ever in record time.
God, Lotus Juice is so sick. The brass and everything about this song blows my mind
what I like about this song is that it was only composed for the remake, P3Reload, released last month, but the team behind it and the composers did everything they could to make it fit in perfectly with the other OSTs in the game, which, I'll remind you, is almost 20 years old...
another masterclass from the SMT Persona team
Tony I love your insightful analysis mixed with your casual fun style; I've watched 20+ hours of your content this week and you've quickly become one of my favorite creators. Cheers for the information and entertainment! It's fun to see you having fun discovering new music worlds too!
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.
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
Definitely one of my favorite from the P3 Reload OST, along with "changing seasons" absolutely love that one
Changing Seasons from Persona 3 Reload is another great piece to record along the Persona marathon I think 😉
Started watching your content from the first persona3 vid cause im obsessed? with the game and have since proceeded to binge most of your content xD
Really enjoy your style of pausing and talking about the music it's made me appreciate some songs in a way I never would have before.
Bro found you months ago. Gotta say im very lyric heavy, but you break down instuments and rythm in a new way for me. Youre awesome!
ive been watching every video of yours cause i just found you and i love your ability to find the levels. it really opens your ears when listening to other songs. love this content!
Welcome in
IT’S GOING DOWN
If you’re open to doing a longer video you could do a comparison of the song “Mass Destruction.” Persona 3 Reload is a remake of Persona 3, a JRPG classic from 2006 and so it features newly arranged and remastered tracks from the original games in addition to new ones like the one you listened to in this video. Mass Destruction has garnered some controversy with fans of the original game saying the original version was much better but some new fans believe the new arrangement is better. As someone who is unbiased, it would be interesting to see which one you think is musically better by listening to both for a video
You made me think about these songs differently. Great video!
Excited for the reaction! I think it would be interesting, to review mass destruction, there's some controversy in the community whether the original or the reload (new) version is better, so your unbiased opinion would be wonderful to hear
Battle of Mass Destruction
I prefer the new version, I think people are mostly mad about the Bay-BEE (hard y Baby) vs baybeh (soft y).
The bass and drums are so driving and really lift everything else up so well 👌🏼
So funny how I commented on your last video to do this song probably hours before this was uploaded, so great to watch your reactions!
Persona 5 (in particular Royal) has arguably the most popular hits due to its relative mainstream success but also they're just really freaking good. I love Persona 3 and Reload's OST just as much, the songs are great in their own way. But certain songs like the battle song "Life Will Change", the bustling "Tokyo Emergency" or "Tokyo Daylight", the enchanting "Beneath the Mask", the atmospheric "Sunset Bridge", even the euphoric "Royal Days" and especially "Royal Days - another version". I could go on but there is a treasure trove of masterpieces and you've barely touched on the gold mine.
Either way, it's been awesome seeing responses to your comments! I can see your passion through discussions and learning.
i manifest my favorite songs. i rarely comment on youtube videos but youve done every song ive ever commented!! ty tony
I love all the persona soundtracks in so happy youre reacting to them!!
Alwasy great to watch your analysis, also fun fact you actually reacted to the male singer before, he provides the vocals for Joseph's theme (Jojo part 2 protagonist)
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
What kind of music do you play percussion in?
I used to be in a symphonic orchestra for school on bass drum, timpani and snare.
If you see the Persona songs performed live (they're on UA-cam, 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.
"What is youre name?"
"Dis"
"Dis what?"
"DISTRUBING THE PEACE"
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
Genuinely, Persona has some of the best music I've heard in any video game soundtrack.
Fun to hear you going in on the better songs. Would be great to visit Persona 4 music too. I cant wait to hear what P6 music will be like
I’m watching this new anime called metallic rouge. And HOLY. The OP and and an OST called Crimson Lighting is soooooo good. The opening has a bit of an 80s r&b feel and the OST is just heavenly. No other words to describe.
That Crimson Lightning one sounds like an orchestral version of Summertime Sadness by Lana del Rey
CHANGING SEASONS! Also Battle for Everyone's Souls from original Persona 3 would be great. Loving this content so please keep them coming!
I thought the lyrics were: "Now tell me the things you're LAUGHING about behind my back" instead of blabbing. Does anyone else hear that too?
I hear whichever one i read when it happens
ahhh I can't wait this is my favorite song
My absolute favorite song in Reload, been listening to it on repeat ever since it came out
This and changing seasons are definitely my fav
Changing Seasons - Reload is so great a highly recomend you make a video listening to it
different game, but take over from persona 5 goes unbelievably hard. though, continuing the persona 3 reload train, you can check out when the moon is reaching out stars. it has one of my most favorite drum works in the entire ost. splendid to the T
I am thinking that the Persona 5 Strikers OST would be something you might like, some tracks that might be worth to listen to is are "Daredevil" and "Counterstrike" etc.
One of the best Persona soundtracks fr
How could you leave out Axe to Grind
We gotta keep it going with changing seasons guys
Tony's reaction at 6:50 is so awesome. I absolutely love that part.
Hey, Tony. I don't know any of these last animé series, but they must be very, very good. The music is awesome. I need to take a chance and watch them. Thanks to you I now know these songs and animé series.
I was just about to mention this one on the last persona 3 video but i'm not surprised other people requested it too
You would definitely enjoy reacting to mass destruction next. It’s the second battle theme along with this one, and the last song in the soundtrack where there is a full duet between the male and female vocalist that you haven’t reacted to yet.
the persona 3 reload burn my dread (last battle) is also good too!!!
"I've been waiting for this!"
As someone playing through the game right now and really enjoying the music, it's a lot of fun to hear some else's reactions to the music! I'm a big fan of Master of Shadow but it's a lot more of a loopy song and doesn't have as much substance as some other tracks from the game
Memories of the City is one of my personal favs, looking at the Tartarus theme(s) and particularly the evolution could be interesting, and of course Memories of You.
WE'RE MAKING IT OUT OF TARTARUS AND STOPPING THE DARK HOUR WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥‼🗣🔥‼
I think you'd really like 'When The Moon's Reaching Out the Stars" also in Persona 3 Reload. It has a SUPER sick ride cymbal pattern and some really good layering throughout the verses with some cool synth lines and stuff like that.
This video and song are certified bangers
The thing I absolutely LOVE about Persona music is that they aren't afraid to lean into new or unorthodox styles. It ends up making Persona music super unique and full of personality!
this one is absolute banger
I love this song so much ❤❤❤
This theme is rlly making me wanna play persona 3 reload
(Anyways when did you upgrade to the dt700 pro x is a great choice for mixing stuff)
Yo ahora te recomendaría muchisimo volver a Persona 5 y escuchar "The days when my mother was there"
Ngl, this is the best persona battle theme so far, imo
Signs of love from p4!
Persona 3 Reload took notes from Persona 5's first release. The battle music for P3R is something you could listen to and relisten to for every battle. Last Surprise was so exhausting to listen to repeatedly in P5 that they had to fix it in Persona 5: The Royal.
In my "Persona-l" experience (sorry), I would intentionally avoid fights so i wouldnt have to hear Last Surprise's intro. P5R's battle music made it worth fighting each battle.
“The battle for everyone’s souls” is an absolute banger, should definitely check it out.
Changing Seasons and The Battle For Everyone’s Souls would be my recommendation
Feels like its only natural that you do "moon reaching out stars"
you should do "Memories of You" next! One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
I would highly recommend Battle for Everyone's Souls. If you wanted some context you could also listen to Aria of the Soul first which the battle theme is a remix of.
EDIT: The song might also be called Battle Hymn of the Soul in Reload.
Changing seasons, from persona 3 reload, is wonderful!
This one's a banger. You should check out Memories of You next from the P3 soundtrack. Shoji Meguro, the composer of this soundtrack believes it to he his magnum opus when it came to composing for the persona series, it has a remastered version for P3 Reload and while i do slightly prefer the original both versions are amazing.
changing seasons - reload, is a must
Probably my favorite new track in the game
mass destruction reload is quite a unique piece id recommend giving it a shot
I would love to see you cover some Persona 4 tracks too like "Reach out to the Truth" or "Time to Make History"
My second favorite song in p3r first being the opening full version
Now its time for Memories of You!!
LETS GOOOOO
If we're keeping the Persona train going, let's do "Signs of Love" from Persona 4 Golden. Damn banger!
You should check out "when the moon's reaching out stars" from this game as well. The drums are killer
LFG, at last, our beloved new battle theme
Changing seasons is such a vibe the remastered version does the original justice.
Im one of those guys that waits to hit the shadow's weakness when Azumi says "Look into my eyes". ☺️
It would be super interesting to see you react to the different versions of Mass Destruction from Persona 3, Persona 3 fes and Persona 3 Reload to see your reaction on the evolution of the song. Plus call me old, but I like the og/fes songs more than the reload ones so even if it's not Mass Destruction per se, I think some songs from the og or from fes would bring an interesting new angle to this mini-series of reaction to Persona 3 music.
Shoji Fucking Meguro always deliver... always fucking deliver
i hope you continue to check out persona music, theres a whole backlog of persona music that youve yet to check out so hope you end up getting to more!
I know I am several hours late, and I don’t know most of the terms of music instruments such as percussion and all that. However, I would personally recommend Memories of You. Keep in mind they are four versions of this song that I know of. There’s the original, the one that plays at the end of the final movie, an orchestra version, and the Reload version, which is in the same game as the song that you analyzed. Each are different in their own way. The first three I listed are from the Artist Yumi Kawamura, while the Reload version has a different vocalist named Azumi Takahashi who is the same person as the one in the song you reacted to. I don’t know how to describe the original one, but the movie version replaces the piano in between verses with some strings. The orchestra version is exactly as it sounds with Yumi Kawamura singing the lyrics in a different way than the previous ones. Finally the Reload version with Azumi Takahashi is mostly the same as the original version, with a longer run time, some extra strings added in certain places in one of the lower layers, and a Violin solo or something similar to that. Also, this game is remake of the 2006 PS2 game, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, just as a heads up if you didn’t already know.
Mass destruction (OG),battle hymn of the soul-(Reload), and the og burn my dread are musics i'd recommend
So glad you're covering this. I play the game with headphones because the music is that good - every damn track. This is the combat song for context!
You should also check some songs from Persona 4 - Heartbeat, heartbreak for example
When this played in my first battle, I was shocked and froze for a while.
Baby baby baby...
My fav Persona 3 track. There is one form Persona 5 that I don’t think you’ve covered. It’s called Beneath the Mask, what a banger track.
