Our first rehearsal of \"Confession/Secret\" from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 5, composed by Shoji Meguro, and this version arranged by Patrick Bartley.
Is there a secret you're holding in out of fear? Or has a change of heart recently made you come out about something you've been denying for so long? We all have been there, and we certainly understand. Well, we also have a confession to make... Ben Eunson is one of the greatest guitar players alive, and we're happy to unleash this best-kept secret into the J-Music/VGM world! His solo on this song is sure to induce a mental shutdown on anyone who hears it, and we also witness some new sounds from Taka on synth and Khrys on the conga.
Choosing this song to play was an interesting change of pace from what we usually upload, and this session was all about digging deeper in what makes this connection between jazz and video games so special. Super tight arrangements with a ton of moving sections are always cool, but there's nothing like just getting together on a form with a melody and some nice chords and just seeing where everyone's ears and hearts lead them. You can really release and take in the potential of this already incredible song.
==============================
We hit it once again with this session! Although this one was a bit shorter, our 3rd Persona 5 session really brings some different feels as we explore some of the more emotional sides of this game's music. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of face-smashing solos and drum fills for you to indulge on. We love seeing your comments and suggestions! As always, thank you, everybody! :D
