Had a similar experience when I was about 40 hours in... and by the time the game drew to a close, it officially took the title of my favorite game I've ever played. It's SO. INCREDIBLY. GOOD.
Found your channel through your Xenoblade reaction and given how much you enjoyed the more rock aspects of those songs you will really enjoy Persona 5 Strikers. The story is a sequel to the base game of Persona 5 so if you finish it and end up wanting more then that game might be right up your alley.
Oooh you've played the game already! Then there's no more reactions haha. I left some recommendations in your other video, just ignore them xD I love that you love the game! PS: I still want to recommend something, so if you haven't... I mean it's not a game, but the sountrack for the anime Puella Magica Madoka is on a whole different level compared to other anime OSTs. Cheers!
just to inform about Persona 5 Royal, has multiple endings, the real one is blocked by certain requirements, i dont know if you are doing lives, but, i recomend to use all save slot you have, to have oportunity to get true ending. about the soundtrack of Persona 5 Royal, if i remember corretly, still have music with Lyn in the vocals.
Something important to note is that Lyn Inaizumi, the singer, is Japanese and does NOT speak English AT ALL, she has no clue about English but Shoji Meguro's team (Persona's composer) managed to tell her and to instruct her what to "say" and how, an amazing feat
@@IlexEmily Yes, it's a trivia I read some time ago, I mean she may know some sort of basics but when you listen to her you may expect someone that is fluent AF but that is not the case and that makes her even more amazing :)
@@IlexEmilyOn top of this for Persona 5 Royal (Re-release with more content) she was directed by Lotus Juice (the rapper for Persona 3) on how to further pronounce the lyrics for those songs since he himself is also Japanese but very fluent in English!
Lyn has gotten much better with English since 2016, when the original persona 5 was released, she's been singing for the persona franchise since, her live concert performances are awesome as well, she's amazing
Surprise surprise, this video did indeed take a copyright hit! So please make sure to show all the love by hitting the like button and leaving a comment! Even if you have nothing to say, just leave a lil heart or a smiley face! Much love, and thank you so much for all the support!! Xo
A Lets Play of this game would be incredible. It’s a fantastic story with some of the best written characters in any media, and the action side of gameplay is in many ways similar to Pokémon which you’re already familiar with. Whether you record it or not: if you play Persona 5, you WILL fall in love. PS: if you play it make sure you play the Royal version. It has uncountable improvements over the base game including a major extra addition to the story.
Hello I’m just replying to this comment 3 weeks late to let you know that I am currently at 38 hours of playtime in Royal and I can confirm I’m LOVING IT
@@IlexEmily glad to see you’re enjoying it. There’s a lot of mechanics and systems that may not be immediately obvious, so feel free to ask if you have any questions. As a free tip though, check with the smoothie stand in Shibuya Station every Sunday. They have a ¥5000 smoothie that gives a point in a social stat but does not spend time to get, only on Sundays
You still absolutely need to hear "Last Surprise" with vocals. It is among the most iconic songs within ALL of video games. It stands toe to toe with the best for a reason. "Last Surpise"and "Life Will Change" are the top 2 hypest songs within PS5, plz listen!
I'll always remember the first time hearing rivers in the desert. For context, it plays during a major boss fight that has multiple phases. During the first one, the instrumental version is played and in the later ones, it adds the lyrics. It's such an epic song for a fight. In the first phase, you think the song is about the boss, but once the lyrics start, you realise it's actually about the protagonist.
Spoilers for persona 5 endgame ahead Shido’s fight has to be one of the best fights everything is leading up to it and the fact it ends off as a 1v1 is amazing
@@d.chriss I'm conflicted about the 1v1. On one hand, it is really cool and satisfying, but on the other, it kind of ruins the whole team and working together angle
It's funny, because I first heard it while fighting the twins, and it really drove home how incredibly dangerous they were, that got such a killer boss theme... And then I got to Shido, and he was such a pushover by comparison, I was sad he got the theme too lmao
@@lisahenry20 In a weird kind of way, yeah. My second playthrough was also kind of my first. I got actual, honest-to-God amnesia inbetween playthroughs, so the second one is the only one I remember.
Fun fact, when she was picked up for persona 5, Lyn's career wasn't really getting off the ground because her voice was deemed too deep for the Japanese audience that generally preferred higher pitched cutsey voices from their female performers. However, she was a perfect fit for P5 and that was the feather in her cap that launched her career. If you want to check out where she is now with her talent, check out the OST for persona 5 strikers. That's a newer spin-off from persona 5 that's higher action so she gets to go nuts with more metalley faster paced songs. It has "scrambled" i.e. more metal/rock remixed of songs from persona 5. If you want to check it out that'd be really cool. Apart from the remixes of the songs you already know and love, I'd recommended 1) axe to grind 2) you are stronger 3) what you wish for 4) counterstrike 5)Daredevil Great vid btw! Loved the analysis!
Honestly Lyn is a singer that fits in the J rock genre really well because of similar singers like Aimer, Eir Aoi and Lisa or the J rock/J pop fusion like ReoNa. These are artists that sit in a similar vocal range.
Ayo? So glad you reacted to Persona 5's Lyrics as well as Royal's. 👍 Personally I love Take Over more over than Last Surprise which are both battle themes. Take Over is a Royal song, so you won't hear it the original P5. Still they made it possible to hear both depending on how you enter battle. If you are planning to make another react, highly recommend "I believe" and "Throw your mask away". Although bit of a warning on the second song, if you are going to listen to it DO NOT read the comments. The use of the song has heavy spoilers but the lyrics doesn't really give anything away.
You literally hear some of this music thousands of times as you play the game. Like Take Over, or Beneath the Mask. They did a really good job of making it so it never gets old.
Absolutely love all of P5's OST, and it's really fun watching people like you react to it as well! Your vibes are so great, you feel so friendly and cozy, while being really detailed when it comes to explaining the vocal and instrumental aspects of the music you cover, it's a joy to watch! And your voice is great as well, especially when you demonstrate the technique from Lyn's vocals, you have great range as well! + Also where's LAST SURPRISE???? and since you haven't listened to any Persona 5 Strikers music, Part 3 soon? hehe :P
We need a P5 part 3. there's too much amazing music in this soundtrack. To record, - Last Surprise - I Believe - Throw Away Your Mask - You are Stronger - Daredevil - Last Surprise (Strikers) - Vocal version of Life Will Change Have yet to be reacted to.
Hey you didi it! I made a comment recommending you listen to the lyric versions and lo and behold few days later this pops up. I'm so happy for you finally getting to experience this.
Lyn is one of the most incredible singer who passed for Persona Franchise (and all singer who passed for this is absolute fantastic), her voice is amazing and combine perfectly to the music style of Persona 5, personaly i think the song who most show her incredible voice is Daredevil from Persona 5 Strikers, for be a Action game (diferent for P5 original that is a Turn-based RPG) the songs of Strikers are more agressive and get more of Rock style (yet mantain the groovy vibe) so in this song her voice goes crazy, i love her!
Glad you enjoyed this!! If you would like to hear more of Lyn you could check out the persona 5 strikers ost! It mixes the jazz with some rock and his some really cool songs!! (Daredevil and Axe to the grind are some of my favorites!!)
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm not a musician, but I have a certain nerdy passion for music. Particularly compositional/instrumental music and now VGM is basically all I listen to! Classical, jazz, orchestral, and almost all types of metal are my favorite genres. Piano, violin and guitar being my favorite instruments in music. Its a nice cathartic journey watching your videos of my favorite games! You're awesome!!!! Also happened across your short about getting married so have to say CONGRATULATIONS!! I hope you continue to enjoy reacting to video game OSTs. I loved your feelings of Persona 3 Reload. And as a side note, your cover of Beneath the Mask was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I was mesmerized. Your enthusiasm is so infectious. Thank you, Emily for being one of the only channels that does this kind of thing often!
I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Persona 5 theme songs and Lyn's vocals. If it piques your curiosity, may I kindly suggest exploring the music from Persona 3 and 4 as well? Additionally, if it meets with your approval, I would like to recommend a single video that covers the finest songs from Persona 5, 4, and 3, all performed live. Your appreciation for the Persona series' music is truly heartwarming.
Here is the link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/JLfVPaDtToQ/v-deo.html For your additional context, the video's presentation has been meticulously crafted to reflect the distinct atmospheres of the Persona series. The red lights and ambiance evoke the essence of Persona 5, while the blue lights and ambiance pay homage to Persona 3. Lastly, the yellow lights and ambiance beautifully capture the essence of Persona 4.
Lyn Inaizumi(I think I spelled it right) has become the face of Persona 5 vocals and she nails every track she's apart of! I'd like to see a reaction to the Persona 4 soundtrack sometime as that absolutely worth a listen!
The selection of OSTs on your channel seems so amazing ❤ However, I still haven't noticed two of my top game OSTs of all time here yet from 2 legendary composers, that you might want to give a try someday: Hack // Sign (Kajiura Yuki) and Lost Odyssey (Nobue Uematsu)
Here are some more P5(R) bangers I would *love* for you to check out! -Last surprise (I would maybe re-listen to wake up get up get out there before listening to the next 2 tracks, not necessarily in the video, just so you have it in mind. You’ll see why.) -Life will change -I believe -Throw away your mask -No more what ifs And as a bonus Our light, maybe with subs, since that one is in Japanese I’m very sure you’ll enjoy those too after all the ones you heard so far!
I love your reaction to this!! Persona 5 has one of the best soundtracks in video games in my opinion! Btw, you are a REALLY good singer! I heard your harmonies!! You go girl!!!!
Persona 5 was one of my first games, so when Royal came out I had to go play that as well the OST's for both are amazing. I also found myself playing 3 Portable and 4 Golden afterwards as well as 5 Strikers.
If you do a follow-up my biggest recommendation would be P5 Scramble's Counter Strike! Definitely one of my favorites, and one I haven't seen in the comments yet.
Shoji Meguro, the composer for Persona as well as Shin Megami Tensei, is one of the absolute GOATs of video game music. Up there with Koji Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu and Yoko Shimomura. Meguro might actually be the most versatile composer I've ever heard, so comfortable in every genre imaginable, jazz, hip hop, metal, jpop, choral music, anything he touches turns to gold. The Persona singers are amazing as well of course. Persona 3, 4 and 5 each have a unique style of music and a singer that perfectly matches that style. You've heard Lyn Inaizumi now but Yumi Kawamura in P3 and Shihoko Hirata in P4 are absolutely stellar as well, also shout out to Lotus Juice who raps on the P3 soundtrack. There's also a couple of songs from the Persona Q spinoff games where two or three of the singers come together on the same track and it's amazing!
And one for Tactica. And one for X if it ever spreads outside of China because even just Final Strike (if that's the name of the song, I don't remember it) deserves a video if she ever covers X. Also, personally, I count Q2 as part of the P5 games because the main difference with Q was the addition of the PTs, but depending on the person, it might not be counted in the list.
Another theme set you might like listening to is the Overlord openings and endings for seasons 1 through 4 it's a total of 8 songs, but they are amazing imo. Love your reactions to the Persona5 songs ^_^
Man, these songs are fantastic. I like learning about them alongside everyone else here. I've played Royal, adore it, but knew nothing about Lyn, the other comments are teaching me a bunch. She's the best vocalist I've heard in a video game, though I do adore Heritors of Arcadia, and Edge of Dawn, from Fire Emblem, and some choral stuff is good too, like Moebius Battle from Xenoblade Chronicles 3, or Between Heaven and Earth, again from Fire Emblem. Thanks for doing these videos, they're enjoyable to listen to
I love Persona music, P5 having most of my favorites; the vibes man!!! Gahhh, I love it. I have one playlist solely for persona music, do with that what you will 😂
Definitely check out more Lyn songs from P5 games, i suggest: invitation to freedom (PQ2), i believe, throw away your mask, last surprise, last surprise (persona 5 strikers version), daredevil, and counter strike, whenever you have time, and you could also just do it in different videos if you're interested
recommend you to listen to Persona 5 Strikers osts aswell since Lyn is also killing in those songs heres some of the osts: Daredevil Counterstrike You Are Stronger Last Surprise (Scramble) etc.
I hope you do touhou music in the future. The entirety of the series help caused the creation of undertale and all of its music. As a plus the creator of the series is very lax with the copyright for his characters and music which allows for anyone to create derivative works of touhou from song remixes to selling your own games. For some song suggestions they are Gensokyo the Gods Loved, Broken Moon, Maiden's Capprico, Love Colored Master Spark, Flowering Night, Hartman's Yokai Girl, and U.N. Owen Was Her.
No "life will change" OR "last surprise"? ...i think we might need a part 3. I'm not saying this for me... I'm saying it for you because those two songs will blow you away.
I think you would love Persona 5. It's Pokemon meets The Sims, kinda. Also that Light Yagami looking guy in the background has a "frenemy" relationship with the main character, just like Light and L.
For a reminder, the ones that were already listened to were Wake Up Get up Get out there, Beneath the mask and Rivers in the desert; Whims of fate is from the original game, and Colors flying high and Take Over are from Royal. I hope that helps. Anyway, we don't deserve Lyn because of how perfect her vocals are. And that with, at the time of the base game, her actually not knowing (much?) how to speak English. And if it's possible to fall in love with a voice, hers would be the universal (celebrity) crush, hands down. And screw waiting for a possible next time and community post for suggesting more songs: Willpower Last Surprise Life will change (the vocal version this time, also to build up for the next one which is like a sequel to it) I believe Throw away your mask. Also, if by chance I get into the shoutouts once again, just call me Clem, the last e is from my last name and me being French, I find it a bit weird when I hear it fully with the English accent and pronounciation.
@@catalyst539 I don't think it was loosened if the first vid was claimed. Unless it was for another song but *in Ryuji's voice when playing Tycoon* I don't think so.
Not sure if you take requests from comments, but I would love to see you react to the Everhood OST. The game frequently gets compared to Undertale, and in terms of the quality of the music I think it's definitely warranted.
I think the best part of the persona intros isn't just how good they are. but how their letimotif was snuck into every damn song and it makes them so much more impactful especially life will change with the vocals
Not only is english not a language she speaks, the entirety of the lyrics are made to reflect the game of Persona 5, which is why the word Shapeshifter is the perfect word to use in the lyrics, being a protagonists who plays with metaphorical mask changes/transformations throughout the game
There are even MORE BANGERS in this soundtrack! Here are a few more you should react to for a Part 3: Last Surprise Life Will Change (vocal) No More What Ifs Price The Days When My Mother Was There Keeper of Lust With the Stars and Us Our Light
Price is one of my favourite songs in the entire game, top 5 easily. It's insanely catchy. I was upset when it changed to the another ver. In the palace lmao
5:50 "Who is she, by the way?" Lyn Inaizumi. She's Japanese. And I don't know if she knew any conversational English when she recorded this or not. P5 was something like her 2nd or 3rd professional gig, from what I've read.
There is a live video of her singing, I forget what song she was singing but it was a persona song. Edit: here it is, she sang live for the 2020 game awards ua-cam.com/video/kiHAS83rvEk/v-deo.html
I am currently over 40 hours into Persona 5 Royal.
THANK YOU ALL for introducing me to what is already one of my favourite games I’ve ever played.

Huh, interesting and impressive.
Persona 5 ost's is honestly one of the highlights for me when I started Royal. it was so much fun seeing your reaction to the lyrics

Last Surprise has yet to be topped. Takeover tried, but it didn’t see it coming.

Here are some more P5(R) bangers I would *love* for you to check out!
-Last surprise
(I would maybe re-listen to wake up get up get out there before listening to the next 2 tracks, not necessarily in the video, just so you have it in mind. You’ll see why.)
-Life will change
-I believe
-Throw away your mask
-No more what ifs
And as a bonus
Our light, maybe with subs, since that one is in Japanese
I’m very sure you’ll enjoy those too after all the ones you heard so far!
I love your reaction to this!! Persona 5 has one of the best soundtracks in video games in my opinion! Btw, you are a REALLY good singer! I heard your harmonies!! You go girl!!!!
The soudtrack of this game make me fall in love with jazz. It's so beautiful. ❤🎶
Persona 5 was one of my first games, so when Royal came out I had to go play that as well the OST's for both are amazing. I also found myself playing 3 Portable and 4 Golden afterwards as well as 5 Strikers.
If you do a follow-up my biggest recommendation would be P5 Scramble's Counter Strike! Definitely one of my favorites, and one I haven't seen in the comments yet.
Shoji Meguro, the composer for Persona as well as Shin Megami Tensei, is one of the absolute GOATs of video game music. Up there with Koji Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu and Yoko Shimomura. Meguro might actually be the most versatile composer I've ever heard, so comfortable in every genre imaginable, jazz, hip hop, metal, jpop, choral music, anything he touches turns to gold.
The Persona singers are amazing as well of course. Persona 3, 4 and 5 each have a unique style of music and a singer that perfectly matches that style. You've heard Lyn Inaizumi now but Yumi Kawamura in P3 and Shihoko Hirata in P4 are absolutely stellar as well, also shout out to Lotus Juice who raps on the P3 soundtrack. There's also a couple of songs from the Persona Q spinoff games where two or three of the singers come together on the same track and it's amazing!
Okay so now we are only missing a persona 5 stikers ost reaction 😂
And one for Tactica.
And one for X if it ever spreads outside of China because even just Final Strike (if that's the name of the song, I don't remember it) deserves a video if she ever covers X.
Also, personally, I count Q2 as part of the P5 games because the main difference with Q was the addition of the PTs, but depending on the person, it might not be counted in the list.
If you haven’t already you could also check out some tracks from the other games in the persona series
By far one the best ost with lyrics I ever heard!
this has made me want to play again
Another theme set you might like listening to is the Overlord openings and endings for seasons 1 through 4 it's a total of 8 songs, but they are amazing imo. Love your reactions to the Persona5 songs ^_^
Have not played this game yet😂 now I’m definitely looking forward to it🤔 thanks for the video
Man, these songs are fantastic. I like learning about them alongside everyone else here. I've played Royal, adore it, but knew nothing about Lyn, the other comments are teaching me a bunch. She's the best vocalist I've heard in a video game, though I do adore Heritors of Arcadia, and Edge of Dawn, from Fire Emblem, and some choral stuff is good too, like Moebius Battle from Xenoblade Chronicles 3, or Between Heaven and Earth, again from Fire Emblem. Thanks for doing these videos, they're enjoyable to listen to
“Last surprise “ is the best
Whoever it was that didn't tell her about No More What Ifs seriously fumbled the bag😭😭 Best vocals/song on the soundtrack. Xenoblade vocals next??🤔
Seriously
exactly, No More What Ifs is one of my favourites too
I love Persona music, P5 having most of my favorites; the vibes man!!! Gahhh, I love it. I have one playlist solely for persona music, do with that what you will 😂
You definitely gotta go down the smt and persona music rabbit hole
The entire Persona franchise has bangers, so maybe it would be cool to check themes from older personas or the spin-offs?
This entire ost is PEAK
PLEASE, you HAVE to react to Donkey Kong Country’s ost. David wise is a phenomenal musician and his works in Dk gave him a legacy.
If you wanna hear some more of Lyn’s range and higher notes, I recommend watching the recent persona live concerts, especially colours flying high :)
Definitely check out more Lyn songs from P5 games, i suggest: invitation to freedom (PQ2), i believe, throw away your mask, last surprise, last surprise (persona 5 strikers version), daredevil, and counter strike, whenever you have time, and you could also just do it in different videos if you're interested
Oh, and ABSOLUTELY You Are Stronger as well!
recommend you to listen to Persona 5 Strikers osts aswell since Lyn is also killing in those songs
heres some of the osts:
Daredevil
Counterstrike
You Are Stronger
Last Surprise (Scramble)
etc.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 hopefully soon maybe?
I like every song in p5 but honestly beneath the mask might be my favorite regular night theme because it's just so calming to listen to
In take over, maybe you can tell, but the back voices are Lyn as well
Theres a live concert with music from persona games, Lyn is even better live. That little lady can rattle the windows. Lung capacity of a whale.
you should check out the live performances, she really shows off her talent there
I hope you do touhou music in the future. The entirety of the series help caused the creation of undertale and all of its music. As a plus the creator of the series is very lax with the copyright for his characters and music which allows for anyone to create derivative works of touhou from song remixes to selling your own games.
For some song suggestions they are
Gensokyo the Gods Loved,
Broken Moon,
Maiden's Capprico,
Love Colored Master Spark,
Flowering Night,
Hartman's Yokai Girl,
and U.N. Owen Was Her.
where last surprise at? it's the most iconic one :c
The singer's name is Lyn, and she has her own musical career, look her up, she's great!
No "life will change" OR "last surprise"?
...i think we might need a part 3. I'm not saying this for me... I'm saying it for you because those two songs will blow you away.
I think you would love Persona 5. It's Pokemon meets The Sims, kinda. Also that Light Yagami looking guy in the background has a "frenemy" relationship with the main character, just like Light and L.
For a reminder, the ones that were already listened to were Wake Up Get up Get out there, Beneath the mask and Rivers in the desert; Whims of fate is from the original game, and Colors flying high and Take Over are from Royal. I hope that helps.
Anyway, we don't deserve Lyn because of how perfect her vocals are. And that with, at the time of the base game, her actually not knowing (much?) how to speak English.
And if it's possible to fall in love with a voice, hers would be the universal (celebrity) crush, hands down.
And screw waiting for a possible next time and community post for suggesting more songs:
Willpower
Last Surprise
Life will change (the vocal version this time, also to build up for the next one which is like a sequel to it)
I believe
Throw away your mask.
Also, if by chance I get into the shoutouts once again, just call me Clem, the last e is from my last name and me being French, I find it a bit weird when I hear it fully with the English accent and pronounciation.
pretty sure vocal life will change is gonna get copyrighted but maybe not
@@catalyst539
As if the first vid didn't get copyrighted even without the lyrics, but ok.
And now I'm wondering if this one got too.
@@clemente3966
fair but maybe i’m misremembering or they loosened security on the song
@@catalyst539
I don't think it was loosened if the first vid was claimed. Unless it was for another song but *in Ryuji's voice when playing Tycoon* I don't think so.
@@clemente3966love the reference!
I've been waiting for this ! (not an akihiko reference)
Let's Go Emily! Copyright can't stop the Phantom Thieves 😎
we need a part 2 for i believe.
Lyn is this tiny adorable little Japanese lady, and yet she has this big, powerful, and VERY controlled singing voice.
Thanks for doing this.
Not sure if you take requests from comments, but I would love to see you react to the Everhood OST. The game frequently gets compared to Undertale, and in terms of the quality of the music I think it's definitely warranted.
I think the best part of the persona intros isn't just how good they are. but how their letimotif was snuck into every damn song and it makes them so much more impactful especially life will change with the vocals
Not only is english not a language she speaks, the entirety of the lyrics are made to reflect the game of Persona 5, which is why the word Shapeshifter is the perfect word to use in the lyrics, being a protagonists who plays with metaphorical mask changes/transformations throughout the game
I wonder what Persona 6 will bring to the table?
Yeah this soundtrack is another one of my favorites!
the first time that the game plays beneath the mask with vocals it feels really special
Me when I know the logical next step is the P5 Strikers soundtrack :D
There are even MORE BANGERS in this soundtrack!
Here are a few more you should react to for a Part 3:
Last Surprise
Life Will Change (vocal)
No More What Ifs
Price
The Days When My Mother Was There
Keeper of Lust
With the Stars and Us
Our Light
Edit: I forgot about Awakening/Willpower
Price is one of my favourite songs in the entire game, top 5 easily. It's insanely catchy. I was upset when it changed to the another ver. In the palace lmao
Take Over and Don't and Butterfly Kiss
You need to listen to Persona 5 Striker's Daredevil, Counterstrike, and Persona 5 Royal's No More What Ifs, and I believe...
5:50 "Who is she, by the way?"
Lyn Inaizumi. She's Japanese. And I don't know if she knew any conversational English when she recorded this or not. P5 was something like her 2nd or 3rd professional gig, from what I've read.
HELLO??? 6:25 THAT "shapeshiftaaa~" was JAW-dropping
Lyn's voice is fantastic. You should listen to her songs in the Persona Super Live 2017. She's even better live imo
Take Over is the best damn song in the game. Glad you included it!
Honestly, she goes so hard in Daredevil from Persona 5 Strikers/Scamble
So you're going to listen to Sonic vocal tracks now right?
Whims of Fate is the best dungeon theme
The Shin Megami Tensei series, where the Persona series stems from, generally has some of the best game music
You've got a great voice too!
I believe and or Our light would most likely blow her mind
I still have hope for the mgrr ost.
covering p5r and talking about great vocals... you Gotta do Our Light if you haven't already. it's really powerful, fantastic vocals.
There is a live video of her singing, I forget what song she was singing but it was a persona song.
Edit: here it is, she sang live for the 2020 game awards ua-cam.com/video/kiHAS83rvEk/v-deo.html
You should watch all persona games opening themes
Excellent taste! Lyn is a powerhouse vocalist
No last surprise is a CRIME
If you’re going to to a reaction to Persona 5 Scramble OST, you’ve got to do Last Surprise and I Believe
Erm, I believe isn't in Scramble OR strikers? Or at least not that I know about
@@DION3ON it’s still Persona 5, even though it’s not in Scramble. It can still count
You should really really check NieR replicant (specially the remake) soundtrack
"I love how powerfull she is down there".
the game is also peak fiction, you should play it
I havent watched this video yet but i swear to god if rivers in the desert is in this i will lose my shit
No more what ifs is definitely my favorite Lyn performance
Me when, I'm not kidding, Benjamin Franklin himself is brought back from the dead to write the music for this game. Truly astouding!
What's amazing is she's even better live.
are you recording your persona 5 royal gameplay or playing it by yourself? :3
Heck yeah, Lyn Inaizumi is great. Awesome soundtrack all around in P5(R)
Bach wishes his music slapped as hard as jrpgs
