OH man they actually factored in his sickness. He stops every so often to catch his breath ;_; aaaaah I do like how they gave him a wild, but restrained style, especially in his duets, showing how hard it is to control his Persona, even with his friends by his side. Also, his dance with Ken is just a big gut punch of emotion.
@@haloemblemproductions9954 It's not a sickness, it's the result of the pills to artificially control a Persona. The pills allow the person to wield control over their Persona and keep it restrained but the pills slowly kill you and the user becomes reliant on them, making the Persona go berserk if said pills are not taken at regular intervals. while Shinji was able to manifest and control a Persona the normal way, the shock of accidentally killing an innocent civilian during battle caused him to lose his original control over it. This led him to take the pills and quit SEES before the start of the game.
Whoever choreographed the fevers, mega props. They each show his relationship with his different dance partners, or his relationship with himself. With Yuki they’re almost on the same wavelength, but at the same time they can’t really understand each other. With Akihiko they both almost know what the other will do, and they are in synch almost the entire time, even to the point of where they link arms showing their bond, and even when they aren’t together, they have a feeling of protection over each other. With Mitsuru it kind of shows how she sees him as equal, while he sees her as still being a bit royal and a bit above himself, yet they still support each other. With Ken it kind of shows how they each hold some regrets, yet still understand each other in a way that would be impossible with anyone else. TLDR: IT’S INTENSE BRO SHINJI’S SECRET DIARY IS O P E N AND READY TO BE READ
I kind've saw Mitsuru's dance as being caught up in her own problems and naivety to really notice or care about what Shinjiro was going through. Once she joins up in hands with him, it's already too late to save him, and she's running not only from him and his death, but also all the other problems that fall down around her. But that's why dance is so mesmerizing- everyone can have their own unique interpretation of it. I like yours just as much as I like mine. I like how it seemed like towards the very end Ken tried to reach out to Shinjiro but it was already too late.
For the Yuki one,I think the same wavelength is due to Yuki being on the same reality of the fact that they’ll both die very soon,with Shinji on the persona suppressor drugs that essentially turn him into a cold blooded guy who has to wear his coat and hat to constantly stay warm and is at the mercy of the side effects of the drug.While Yuki just knows he’ll die in a year anyway.
To go along with akihiko and shinjiro, while they're in sync almost the entire time, there are times they slowly fall out of that. Their personas are brothers, castor being mortal and polydueces being immortal. They're integral to the others life but there's so much tension between the two like when akihiko finds out about the suppressants, and in shinjiros link he tells you akihiko punched him for saying he's too reckless
(Spoiler warning for whoever needs it) I like to think that Makoto’s dance is also symbolic with their relationship in the story. Makoto and Shinjiro barely interact with each other in the main story. The only time they really do is when Akihiko brings Makoto to recruit Shinjiro, which is when he asks Yuki “what exactly are you fighting for” - then the story with Shinjiro unfolds and Makoto is largely uninvolved in the events leading up to his death. They don’t acknowledge each other in the dance; only those brief glances they give each other as Makoto enters but they both immediately look away afterwards. Yet they do the same moves, and dance in sync because they share the same fate. All of Shinjiro’s other partner dances portray his relationship and connection with those characters really well so I like that it’s consistent, even if there isn’t really much between those two characters in particular.
Notice how before the Fever: He was Holding his Head in like he was in pain... And his solo fever: looked like he was trying to keep something away I like how the choreographer portrayed that He lost control of his persona momentarily and caused someone’s death and he constantly struggle against the guilt he Killed someone, but in the end he decided to get back up and fight despite his Weakened state Such an emotional dance ;-;
At 2:09 if you pause and look at Yuki and Shinji's duet, they are taking the poses they had the moment their fates were sealed. Yuki is performing the Great Seal for the sake of all humanity, while it looks as if Shinji has just taken a bullet for the sake of one child. They share similar fates and die for the same cause, and I think their dance conveyed this perfectly. Or I could just be reading too much into it, who knows.
God dammit, I miss Shinji. His dancez with Ken and Akihiko r makin me cry.😭 On a brighter note, I still find it hilarious that him and Morgana share the same mocap dancer.😆
This was Perfect: the way minato was behind him, how Aki is always beside him, how misru runs away and ken.... oh my god. I wonder how this dance would Look like if minako was were... Sorry my english sucks
Actually the p3femc has a Canon name as well here Kotone Shiomi P3P FeMC has officially been given the name "Kotone Shiomi" for the first time (same name as the stage show). The 1st Puzzle & Dragons x Persona collaboration also had the official protag. names, such as :Makoto Yuki:, "Yu Narukami", and "Ren Amamiya".
THE FACE MODELS DURING KEN'S FEVER REALLY ACCENTUATE THE FEELS HOLY CRAP... and the way the reach out only to pass each other shows that missed connection they could have had... :( Besides that Shinji is _one lanky man_!
P5 was my first Persona game. Played P5 Dancing because it was the only game in the collection I finished. This was the DLC song for the collection. I played it thinking, “that’s cool. I wish I knew anything about them.” I’m not long after it happens in P3. Coming back here it’s like, “there is so much storytelling going on it may as well be tagged as spoilers.” I don’t think any of the P5 dances come anywhere close to this.
Christ this is so upsetting. the way they managed to capture the relationships between shinji and the dance partners hurts, like how we have Akihiko and Shinji fighting side by side and so in sync compared to Ken's im crying... also that cute little mitsuru handgrab is great
I am losing my mind over that sync with Aki!!!! It is so precious and perfect and the only thing that made this video was that heart wrenching moment with Ken!!!!
I teared a tad bit at the duet dance with Ken.. But my most fav is the one with Akihiko because they're mostly in sync with each other ;w; Minato too. Mitsuru actually looks a bit cheery there o.o With Ken, the dance becomes very sad.. Especially with the kid's expression. Also love this song so much
Why I feel like this song does excellent job showing feelings and relationship of every available character. It just feels that they put hella lot of thought into the choreography.
Everyone: omg emotions so sad look at shinji dancing emo-ly Me: yknow that dance where people tuck their whole bodies into a pair of sweatpants so it's just a head and a pair of feet hopping around? He be doin that
At first I disapponted with the lack of remix but then I remembered there is one with the boy band version. Too bad he is not included in that one since he is dlc, damn it. Also I like his duet with Ken, damn feel. Also there should be spoiler boy dance compilation with Adachi, Shinji & Akechi after Akechi dlc came out.
Shinji protecting Makoto during their dance together shows their relationship throughout the entire game, his deep bond with Akihiko, his friendship with Mitsuru AND THE MOTHER EFFING ANGST WITH KEN. In this one goddamn dance, it tells you so much and for those of us who played Persona 3 knows how much it hurts so badly. P3P fans be like, wait till he dances with Door-Chan. THE PAIN.
I think my favorite part about this dance is that while usually Makoto has top notch synergy in his partner dances, and he still tries to match Shinji here, there's a strange disconnect that you really start to notice side by side with Aki's. Aki fully knows and understands Shinji so they're perfectly in sync. It's some masterful visual story-telling
Every time I see Mitsuru dance, I wonder how she can dance with high heels. Oh, yeah and Ken + Shinjiro is great and full of feelings (for me, at least)
P3D out here giving my Shinji x Mitsuru crackship more content than it's had in actual years 'scuse me I'm just gonna sob tears of joy, it's all so beautiful
Damn, Shinji's so hot I almost forgot that he's dying. Speaking of which, I forgot that he's dead. Speaking of which, I forgot that the main character was dead. Speaking of which, I forgot how much P3 made me depressed.................I like "Battle Hymn for Everyone's Souls," how about you? Also, I assume Yuki is a partner because he was the leader. Other than that, he seems out of place since everyone else had a relationship with Shinji. Mitsuru was in SEES with him before he left, he and Akihiko grew up together, and he killed Ken's mother and the two formed a weird camaraderie. What have Yuki and Shinji done? They watch a movie marathon about animals I guess. It's whatever though, because Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night is the only game where you will see to corpses dancing together. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult best boy Yuki, I was just pondering.
Huh. Makoto:Almost in sync. But still not as close. Akihiko: In perfect sync, yet they both clash with each other. Mitsuru: Again, almost in sync. Yet, Shinji doesn’t let himself get too close. Ken: They dance around each other but are in perfect sync.
he had his pace through the whole dance and with every partner, except mitsuru. what was he even doing also, lets apreciate that dance with ken. it had a lot of emotion and stuff. since he aint ded, we can assume their problems werent resolved back then, but idk
I know that this is old, but I'd say that Shinjiro's dance with Ken includes his death. At the very end Ken reaches out towards Shinjiroas they separate with a sad facial expression, and I believe that shows their resolution at the time of Shinjiro's death
I swear some of these dances are pure art, the way the choreographers managed to create dances that are so in character is mindblowing. Story told through dance is underrated.
The feeeeeeeeeeels TAT Shinji, my boooooooy!! The way he and Akihiro are so in sync, the level of respect he has for Mitsuru during that precious move together, he and MC being in sync but also having their differences. And don't get me started on him and Ken! All of the frustration and regret in their moves has me bawling qAq;;;;
i think one thing that's stuck with me about shinjiro's partner dance with akihiko is the fact that it's rhe only one of the 4 where the partner doesn't leave shinjiro. shinjiro has to leave him... which, considering how akihiko took the events of his death, is pretty fucking painful
on one hand I hate atlus for making shinjiro dlc on the other I love atlys for giving my favorite game of all time some attention in the spin-off department
That just reminded me of when Shinji survived in P3P for him to say goodbye to the female protag and him probably dying right after. Ow, my heart.... T_T
Watching these makes me wonder... How would his dancing be with Minako if he would've had the chance to dance with her? Does anyone else wonder of have a specilation, of is it just me?
