When Persona 6 comes out, you better the main singer or Atlus and I are gonna have a little chat

lunasam9, the Virtuoso

This very much

sleepy grace

3y↑1

@Asraf Khalid yeah that's true btw to have a chilled and proper conversation on the internet with a stranger is very rare and it is really refreshing so thank you :)

Asraf Khalid

@sleepy grace its okay. i loved both singers. n most of these songs probably tailored for lyn's (vocal range etc)

sleepy grace

3y↑1

@Asraf Khalid yeah i get that and i wasn't trying to bash sapphire but tbh i really think that lyn's vocals are more on point than that of sapphire's so in the end i like both i just liked lyn's vocals better

Asraf Khalid

@sleepy grace no disrespect to the OG singer, Lynn is indeed amazing with most of the P5/P5R songs n when she sang in her native language (hoshi to bokura to/with the stars n us), it was heavenly but i do loved some of sapphire's covers. she brings some of her vibe n twist to the covers that she do that just feels right. but hey, thats just my opinion.

Even though I freaking love SMT/Persona series, I love your covers way more than the original songs. You do justice to the games atmosphere. I love you and your work so much, it makes me cry out of joy for real.

By far my favorite song from Persona 4. Just wrapped up my final day of my senior year of college. This song seems oddly appropriate for the occasion. Thank you for making this!

Such a beautiful voice, I was excited for this ever since I first heard a bit of it on throw your mask away ❤️

Presci Bee

I’m in love with 1 jazzy persona singer. But really, your covers have always so much personality they’re so good.

RJ PlayZ

4y↑2

I know this is already going to be a banger, if you go back to the Persona 5 royal cover throw away your mask you can hear her singing a bit of this song at the end.

TheKadachi213dos

Bravo well done. What an interesting jazzy take on this song. Beautiful voice. Loving the band.

galaxyseal

Id buy a persona covers vinyl collection. Feels perfect for the coming holidays, soothing warmth and jazzy

Brian Vaira

I would like to humbly request an English cover of Way of Memories from the Persona 4 anime. I feel like that song is pretty underrated

Kuroo

Just played through january first and IMMEDIATELY looked if there was a cover. Thank you SO MUCH AAAAAAA

Nick

I love your covers, hope you are doing well in these hard times. You're beautiful takes on these already great songs moves me in ways I can't really describe in words. I'm glad to see you are still at it.

You should do a cover of "Our Light" from Persona 5 the Royal

TheCreepypro

Could you ever do a full “Behind the TV” eventually 🥺 I loved the remix but a full version of just that would be so nice

Fresh_UwU

Thank you again Sapphire for your help directing me to this cover song. I can't believe this managed to slip under my radar. I love this BTW, Keep it up!👏🎉🎶

Friso Laxod

I love this! I hope we get to hear your rendition of Our Light.

ScorchedEclipse

another amazing collab between you two, god i'm so happy to have been able to play this since it came to steam. game's been an absolute blast <3

Doby

Could you please put your songs on, Spotify? I beg you. Your covers are amazing, it's like an addicting video game for my ears except without any rage or frustration. You can put it on iTunes if that's easier for you, even though I don't have an iPhone if getting an iPhone means I can listen to your music that works with me.

Zoot

this is such pretty cover! I'm glad I was here for the premiere. (:

SketchyDood

Loved this song from P4G. I'm glad you covered this one

Helio

You should do One Nightbreak! I love the song but it's so hard to sing it because it's in mostly Japanese.

Nice cover! Keep it up!

Levi Ackerman

I love this cover! Great job!

Sasha Kalina

Your covers are very cool and contain soul ,own style , love and talent . Thanks for your work , after finishing persona 4 its really pleasure to listen to , hope one day to hear your songs in p6 😉

Michael 0616

Holy hell this is amazing. Probably my favorite work from you yet.

Imagino1234

Aah! It sounds so lovely! Beautiful cover!

Howie Sells

Beautiful love your voice

Emma Johnson

Holy.... I have always loved this song, thanks so much for covering it!

Seth Thompson

Always looking forward to this! You all do such an amazing job 😍😍😍

Absolute Genius

This was an amazing cover!

Joseph Cialini

Would love to hear your take on an English version of True Story! It'd be fitting, too, since one of Rise's billboards in Persona 5 is advertising an album called Sapphire.

Kn.77

4y↑1

One of the best Persona songs imo

MistaAnimator

Thank you for these amazing remixes and covers you been providing all these times :)

Seth Thompson

This is so good! 😍😍😍 If the Consouls or Sapphire happen to this, I'm @NachoTalking on Twitter. Please keep up the great work you guys do!

Juiceybox

This is going into my winter playlist

Oscar_thaonekid87

This is amazing omg❤❤❤❤❤
You should cover the ending song of persona 2 "change your ways"

Tony Wizdard

Could I get sheet music or just the instrumental? This is absolutely gorgeous.

Jonathan Adkins

Perfect I love it keep up the good work I can’t get over how good it is thanks ❄️❄️

OtakuRhi

You have the best voice ever Sapphire 😍😍😍

Gavin Diff

I usually just hear this song during winter this is my seasonal music so it’s refreshing to hear it In summer

Magnetin Darkwind

Man, this is right up there with some classic Christmas Songs.

Nico Chimecho

Wonderful cover as usual!

David Samuel

I love your covers so much. You make it song your own, with your own spin on it and that just makes me love them even more.

SkySaito

That was a phenomenal cover, so soft sounding and peaceful. I'm happy to have found your voice through Persona and GaMetal, and the other bands you team with are great as well.
Also, I'll take the opportunity to ask, since it's a recent song, but is there any reason your channel is classified as "for kids" ? I can't hit the notification bell because of that sadly, so I was wondering the reason of it.

Marshtomp8

This is like a Persona 5 version of the song. Oh my days

AzrielDoesStuff

4y↑1

I've been wanting you to upload this since you put it at the end of one of your P5R covers! I could fall asleep to this with how relaxing it is

Anibal Latorre Bilbao

Dude, this is to much, its so moving 😢💞; love it

osricen

Perfect song, perfect voice.

Epsilon

I love it! Feels nostalgic again

proudvballmom

This sounds like a classy Christmas song... Of course only Sapphire could make me feel like drinking hot cocoa in front of a fire place during summer lol keep up the amazing work!!

Grand canyon11

I would pay an absurd amount of money to see this live

Jedi Penguin

Is there a version thats like the first half all the way through. I really love the singing part, wish it was for the whole song.

Bikethemike

Hell yeah! Can't wait for this!!🤩

MiguelMmr

loved it

Zachary Critten

hey if I had one suggestion I'd love to hear a shadow world cover. But I understand if you feel you've done enough persona music. You're one of my favourite singers rn

Michel Chapira Viner

Is there anyway we could get piano sheets for this wonderful arrangement?

Anthony Thomas Jr.

Beautiful singing girl! Persona 4 is such an cool series and game
