Shoji Meguro is fantastic and a man of many talents. Not only did he write the jazzy, funky tunes of P5 but he also wrote the poppy songs of P4, the slick hip hop beats of P3 and even the harsh and heavy rock/metal pieces of SMT3, just to name a few. Truly a GOAT among video game composers.

This soundtrack rivals some of my favorite albums of all time. The first playthrough of the game was my intro to Persona in general, and the music fit the style so well that it trapped me into series instantly. Beneath the Mask, especially the rainy version just hit the perfect spot. Rivers in the Desert was such a banger too, my whole chatroom knew it was coming and lost it when it hit. That's a sign that they did something very right the whole way through musically. It hits the highs and lows so well, and teases you with full instrumental versions of tunes just to come back and slap amazing vocals into an already amazing jam. Cannot stress enough that this game was a masterpiece to me. Great video too! Love the "woah" moments to the chord progressions and the smile they brought

“I’ve been waiting for this!” I’d love to see a part two, there’s so many more tracks in this game that it would be super cool to see you figure out.

I’m writing a paper for my Research Methods class on the music of Persona 5. You my friend…have just become a source for this paper 😈❤️

I want a part 2 w/ layer cake, rivers in the desert, life will change, and others!! Love your stuff, keep it up!

Definitely make a part 2. This soundtrack has so many great songs!

YES! YES! YES!! You never see it coming!!🎵🎶 Wake Up, Charles Cornell did Persona 5~🎵🎶 Edit: I would lobe to see a part 2 for this one with Wake Up! Get Up! Get Out There! and Rivers in the Desert.

Those were the exact songs I was going to recommend! Also P5 Strikers! It's great!

I wanna see him react to Whims of Fate so bad :| The way that track transitions through different grooves and builds out the chord structure from ALL the instruments/vocals rather than relying on a single instrument to drive the entire structure....just amazing.

I'd love for him to listen to Whims of Fate and Layer Cake! Hope he will do a part 2 cuz the whole P5 soundtrack is incredible!

I really want to see him react to the palace themes like Whims of Fate, A Woman, Price, and When My Mother Was There.

First time playing persona 5 blind. I loved it. The music, the action. There was no dull moment

I feel like it would be really nice to have the whole song/section of the soundtrack play at the beginning or smth and then go through it in detail like u usually do. I love ur videos btw, I’ve been watching a ton of them recently and they really make me understand the music in a deeper way than I usually do. Keep up the good content 👍🏼

Loved your reaction and detailed breakdowns of the songs' structure. Eagerly waiting for more from Persona.

Incredible video!! Thanks for checking the soundtrack for my favorite game, I know you are very limited in time and video length but that was barely a scratch on the surface of the game amazing ost. Love your amazing content, keep at it man ❤

It is crazy How jazzy this whole soundtrack is and how many people from all walks of life Love it. One of the best Video Game Soundtracks out there. Loving the video and the effort and love put into it!

Been waiting for this one, really appreciate your input

Ive been waiting for this video for years. Thank you

Thanks Charles! This one's definitely a crowd favourite. J-Music Ensemble and The Consouls and Sapphire have also done some amazing Persona covers but love hearing you play too! Edit: Would definitely like a Kneebody video

You double-earned my 'like' with the Kneebody reference. Would love to see you breakdown one of their songs sometime.

It's just such a pleasure to listen to someone who's able to play along to something they've only just heard. Kudos to the hard work you've clearly put into your passion, you've got a new subscriber; and that's not even mentioning the fact that I LOVE Persona in general, and that's how I got here.

This is so amazing! i wish i had half your talent to jam so easily something so complex in a matter of instant! You are very talented!

Superb! Not an easy analysis to do at any level of musicianship.... and you do it on the fly. Absolute legend.

Hymn of the Soul is literally my life blood. It just sends my soul FLYING when I hear it. This soundtrack and Final Fantasy X are literally my fave scores for videogames.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this. I've watched it several times over, since yesterday. The chorus in Last Surprise, made me say "woooooooo" just the same as you sir. Such a good track and Shoji Meguro hits hard with those creative chord progressions. You nailed it.

It is my birthday tomorrow (1st Oct) and I'm so glad I managed to snatch the bundle up before my birthday! Always wanted to improv, tried teaching myself but literally could never, it sounded alright but could be better. Thanks Charles, can't wait to start!!

persona’s soundtrack is what got me hooked to the series all those years ago. i’m glad that its timelessness still shows years later and hooks in others!

It's about time you got to this :) some of the best video game OSTs out there!

Ooh ooh ooh, I was so excited to get a notification that you released this @Charles Cornell. Great breakdown. Fun listen. And yeah, this soundtrack is awesome.

Love watching your brain work, it's so satisfying. What an awesome super power!! 🌻🤘🏼💕

This was great because it's like vicariously hearing this soundtrack for the first time, a magical experience I thought I'd never have again. Looking back at it I do hear a lot of Steely Dan in there. Butterfly Kiss has a similar cadence to Black Cow

Sweet video. I really hope that Charles gets to review "Seycara Orchestra" and his music cuz it is very interesting and complex. Some songs that i recommend are "Everlasting Summer", "Darling", "642 Ways", and any of his waltz that he has created.

I heard the Steely Dan in there too! That part played at 4:34 is the riff used in the song Peg. Also reminded me of riffs from Josie.

Love this reaction video by someone who loves music listening to and breaking down P5. Makes me appreciate it that much more (and it was already my fav Video Game Soundtrack of all time)

I'd absolutely love to see you check out Final Fantasy XIV at some point, especially the song Shadows Withal, but honestly would love to hear your thoughts on any of the music from that game. It manages to cover such a wide range of genres and themes

I just like that he’s reacting to this is real time. Just when he thinks he figures it out, “WOO!!?”

Oh that segue into Kneebody was so fitting. Love how when the staccato of the saxophone kicks in, it just teases you with breaks and pseudo time signature shifts, and then just loops back in to the percussion with the original backing. It forces your brain to split in half just to keep on top of it, but never feels accidental. Honestly yeah, I get vibes of that in Persona music a ton!

Been waiting for this one!

YESSSSSSSSS !!! I freaking love this game, and to see Charles breaking down the music is awesome!!!

Not only is the music of this game masterfully crafted, but the entire Video game is a masterpiece. It bleeds and screams art. I wish more games would be like this.

YES so good! So glad you made a video about my favorite game series of all time! Really enjoy your content with great insights.

I've been waiting for this so much :)

I just love the stay he gets stunned everytime lmao

It's such a joy to watch you discover this music because you don't miss a single detail. I found myself nodding and cheering as you'd find those little nuggets of harmony that most folks would overlook.

Man to see u go through the appreciation I’ve known about Shoji Meguro’s Persona scores is very pleasing to me and validates so much.

Glad you covered this, one of my all time favorite soundtracks!
