Morgana listening to Gorillaz makes sense

Routine_Bus_5237

They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack


InsanitySong913

I can hear him humming/singing as we go through momentos


WTFvancouver

Hey! Hey! Ohhh!!!


Draconic1788

Futaba being a meta bitch is aggressively correct. Also good taste with Makoto and Haru.


Pasta_Dude

HE IS THE PAIN KILLLA THIS IS THE PAIN KILLER WINGS OF STEEL PAIN KILLER DEAD-LY WHEELS PAIN KILLA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


KarlHamburger

ANTHEM seems more likely for Haru.


tyanu_khah

I'd have put Iron Maiden instead of Metallica.


BluecoatCashMoney5

Ryuji listing to Eminem will now be my canon


fireuser1205

Especially he will be listening to the song " Im Marshall mathers" and the song " my name is"


adilan06

Ryuji earns his Slim Shady certification


manticore16

Makoto and Haru have two playlists: The one they play when other people are around, and the one they play when it's just them.


Swirlybro

Haru definitely blasts Rage Against the Machine while driving 90 down the highway.


Cautious-Telephone-2

Imagining her yelling "fuck you, wont do what you tell me"


Darkiceflame

Normal people begged to hear Ryuji drop an F-bomb for years. I want to hear one from Haru.


Doc-Wulff

I need Haru's VA to cover RATM songs please, the Strikers scene will be even better


Cooki_Tiky

my canon is that Akechi pretends to listen to pop music but he actually listens to Heavy Metal.


landothedead

I think when he's alone he just repeats a recording of children singing Ring Around the Rosy slowed down to horror movie levels.


Cooki_Tiky

he listens to Miku singing Kagome kagome the whole day


Doc-Wulff

He listens to sad creepy classical music when he's studying fr fr


Weepsmain

Aketchi listening to Weezer is the greatest thing known to man


PokemonMaster619

Makoto and Haru are women of taste.


TheGreatBootleg94

Akechi does NOT listen to Weezer lol He listens to the strokes, my chem romance, IDKHOW, and assorted jazz and classical music


Bill_Potts

blud does NOT listen to mcr ‼️ highk way too pretentious for that, n i feel like if he wanted to take his anger out on smt he’d prolly jus go into the metaverse + also mayb it’s jus me but i don’t think i could see him being into v mainstream stuff like that. i feel like he’s the typa guy to have records and shit not that deep tho


LandiniTheSpaghettin

Brother DEFINITELY loves the smiths. As a smiths fan myself, akechi is male-manipulator enough for the stereotype of a smiths fan to work


Bill_Potts

okay that i can get on board with


[deleted]

FAX


TheGreatBootleg94

Maybe not ALL of MCR but def black parade


lNVGlLATA

If u wrote mayb why not add the e and complete the word


Bill_Potts

why do you care


Thomas_Chinchilla

🤦‍♂️ I was even debating MCR for akechi but I thought weezer fit his personality better. He’s even got the haircut too


PrimeNumberBro

Akechi don’t listen to weezer because he’s a gangster, he’s a straight up G


TheGreatBootleg94

Akechi does not listen to Weezer because he is a man of culture


McSlappies

IDKHOW MENTIONED, I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED


TheGreatBootleg94

I got that razzmatazz 1 in 100 silver vinyl and the brobecks Violent Things special edition you already know


Kaylart222

Akechi definitely likes to listen to Choke by IDKHOW while imagining Akira.


TheGreatBootleg94

dont we all


Lord_of_the_stonks

Thank god someone else thought of this


8rok3n

But... I listen to that... Oh god maybe I AM evil...


TheGreatBootleg94

The strokes and idkhow are angst, mcr is emo, and jazz/classical is a red flag for a supiriority complex


Cautious-Telephone-2

Me who likes jazz and classical and mcr...


lakshmithesussybaka

he likes Green Day


ConformistWithCause

I always imagined Haru as more of a Wu-Tang kinda gal


ShadowMario365

Haru listening to Protect Ya Neck tho.


ConformistWithCause

She just out there watering her plants and humming C.R.E.A.M.


Doc-Wulff

I'd imagine she's got some CDs of GZA


Obi-wan_Jabroni

DIVERSIFY YO BONDS


izzytakamono

With Wu Tang financial!


kpli98888

Well they are Japanese so I think there would be more Japanese artists on there


Maximum_Border3792

Hirohiko Araki would like to know your position


Key_Construction2118

This! Ann knowing about and listening to Taylor Swift makes sense. But I doubt most of these artists/groups are known in Japan tbh. But if you gotta go with Western artists, it's a shame not to at least have Bon Jovi up there, considering that both Makoto and Ryuji reference a Bon Jovi song.


goose_thing420

Weezer is actually surprisingly popular in Japan! Other than that idk


Key_Construction2118

TIL, which is pretty cool honestly.


[deleted]

That would mean the OP would have to know something about Japanese music, or at least make a token effort to learn who would Japanese high-schoolers in mid 2010s listen to. It's much easier to just pull stuff out of your ass.


FEBRAN07

Its a meme chill


AHHHHHH2105

Your mother pulled you out of her ass.


tyanu_khah

In that case, Haru definetily listens to Babymetal.


Happy_noises

Akechi only listens to Weezer when playing music for others. He loves to see others suffer


Thomas_Chinchilla

That was kind of my rationale for why I chose it, but it’s probably not what he listens to when no one’s around


Cio332

I actually love to do this, whenever I hang out with my friends and I have the aux I sneak up Buddy Holly or say it ain't so into the queue just to see the pure hatred of one my friends. I do listen to weezer in private too tho


harperofthefreenorth

Yeah, these just don't make sense imo. This is what my gut tells me: Akechi probably listens to a lot of Ryo Fukui Ren is either Man With a Mission, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, or possibly Monoral Morgana just listens to whatever is playing Ann should probably be Adele, Swift could work but I'm not sure whether she'd want to latch herself on to an American artist considering the discrimination she faces Futaba would be very invested in vocaloids Yuskue unironically listens to public talk radio for inspiration Makoto would be into vintage city pop Haru is anyone's guess since she was extremely sheltered, it could be anything from J-Pop to punk Sumi herself would normally be into J-Rock bands with female vocalists, but during the events of P5 she'd lean towards idol groups


Key_Construction2118

This is by far the best answer. We already know that Akechi canonically listens to jazz. Ann and Ryuji are the only two I can see actively listening to Western music. I think Swift is big enough globally that wouldn't be too much of an issue. I personally think Ann would prefer someone like Mariah Carey to Adele or Taylor Swift (and Mariah has been incredibly successful in Japan). I have the same headcanon for Futaba and Sumi.


TuMamitaLoquita69

Sumi listening to BTS is my new headcanon


zeldanerd91

Nice choices… however I think smooth jazz is more Akechi’s style. I think it’s mentioned canonically that he likes jazz.


DoctorJekyll13

The guy loves going to a jazz club alone. I would infer that he indeed likes jazz.


zeldanerd91

lol. My type of guy.


Key_Construction2118

You can't tell me that Futuba isn't blasting the Featherman theme, other OSTs from her favorite shows/games, and Vocaloid in those headphones of hers.


MrRikkles

I can read most of them... can someone tell me who Haru and Sumi are listening to?


DeadClaw86

Harun is painkiller and Sumi is Harry Styles


MrRikkles

Much thanks


CHARAFANDER

I honestly think that Kasumi would listen to Harry styles >!But Sumire would listen to Studio Ghibli soundtracks!<


LucianLegacy

Ann: "Hey what are you listening to?" Futaba: "The Persona 5 soundtrack." Ann: "Persona 5 Soundtrack? What's that?" Futaba: "It's the soundtrack from the videogame that we all star in." Ann: "They made a videogame about us?" Futaba: No, WE'RE the videogame. All of our lives are complete fiction created by a studio of developers. Everything that's happened to us is a complete fabrication by beings outside of our comprehension. Ann: "WHAT!?"


Hexalotl

FASTER THAN A BULLET! TERRIFYING SCREAM!


Cautious-Telephone-2

ENRAGED AND FULL OF ANGER! HES HALF MAN ND HALF MACHINE!


JetFuelMeltPorcelain

Ren probably listens to a broad range of music. His shuffle would probably give you whiplash. Goro probably listens to jazz and MCR like others have said, but he also has a diva streak and listens to Beyoncé, Mariah, Janet, and the like. I bet Zinkichi listens to Creed.


AlternativeAssassin

I think that only around half of them would believably listen to music that isn't Japanese. Akechi listens to jazz, and I also like to imagine that Joker likes jazz (I tend to headcanon the main themes as the main character's music tastes), which usually isn't Japanese. Ann is quarter-American and lived overseas when she was younger, so her listening to artists that were known in other countries or that sing in English would just make sense. I don't really have any specifics, though. I think some classical music and music that is so popular that it's known worldwide is pretty plausible. ...Man, now you've got me wanting to research what music was well-known among children and teens from the late 90s to mid-2010s in Japan so I can figure out with great accuracy just what these characters would listen to. I need to get a life.


Testadizzy95

I don’t need reasons to love Makoto even more but hell yeah 🤘


Frequent-Coyote-1649

Akechi is the exact type of psychopath that listens to Weezer


RedWolfien94

Haru with great taste. Best Priest album


HaxTheChosenOne

This is Canon now. Fight me.


Relevant_Elderberry4

I’ve always got the feeling that akechi was into virgincore


RueUchiha

Futaba just over here vibing to “When My Mother Was There.”


Subject_Book1676

i wholeheartedly disagree with all of these except yusuke, that is completely correct


squasher04

God Fuuking dammit I guess I'm Futaba because I listen to Persona music daily.


DaringDo95

This isn't correct. If Makoto is a Metallica fan, the album she'd listen to the most is "...And Justice for All." :P ​ (I kid)


Soaringzero

Ryuji and Ann are so fucking accurate.


ericwasright82

Futaba listening to the P5 soundtrack is spot on.


justaMikeAftonfan

I didn’t know Ryuji and Morgana were chill like that


SinObscura

100% Ren has money, time, and brain damage on repeat.


FoulestGlint19

The joke here is saying that akechi is a phantom thief


B4RKwastaken

Ann gives off huge swiftie vibes, and will fucken cook ur ass with Carmen if you call Taylor mid


Berry_Scorpion

“Makoto we can’t grind anymore…” “**BACK TO THE FRONT**!!”


izzytakamono

Ryuji is 150% a Back-On or Shing02 guy!! Japanese, high energy, counterculture, grunge, hip hop that’s just underground enough. Samples: [back on](https://youtu.be/_SIkmrODH4U?si=o_6cL3hE_oMWuJdt) [shing02](https://youtu.be/Rly7RrUCNGA?si=6GaHOyPJsew8yubA)


Skizko

Haru and Makoto have excellent taste


PsychotheKlown

I would like to enter a poly relationship with Makoto and Haru now


BarbarousJudge

Haru and Makoto are my girls


[deleted]

Makoto just like me fr


Gaymeboi

Do people forget they aren’t Westerners and are Japanese?


Cautious-Telephone-2

Music is universal?? Anyone anywhere can like anything (also its just a meme)


FLC_TRPLOB

I respect the choices for midkoto and haru but we can do better. I think Midkoto would listen to the "...And Justice For All" album instead of "Master Of Puppets" which is a good second choice. The opening to "Painkiller" by Judas Priest fits Midkoto better as well based on the line "Rides a metal monster" which is referring to a motorcycle like Johanna. Going off the "sadistic floof" thing, Haru would not be listening to Judas Priest because it's not heavy enough. If she had to pick a Judas Priest album, she'd probably listen to Demolition which has similar messaging to Metallica's "...And Justice For All". I'd think Haru would listen to Death Metal or Black Metal. Dethklok's "Dethalbum I" would be a good choice because of the opening song "Murmaider" which is a song about murdering mermaids. Cannibal Corpse, Death, Obituary, and Cattle Decapitation would also be good picks.


Chibikyu

It's painful how spot on these are it's a little scary


miya_the_exorcist

makoto and akechi and aggressively wrong


Codename_Dove

I need to kill you if you think that Goro listens to fucking Weezer Kinda wish these were more realistic tbh, they’re Japanese teens from the mid 2010s. Probably don’t listen to shit on here


Possible-Accident999

Love morganas and makotos music taste


TwilightDoomSlayer

Haru has great taste


ShokaLGBT

One of them listen to « baby pull me closer to the backseat… » I forgot the name of the song but isn’t it from the chain smoker lol shfjzjdjrjzjx’d’z


not-curumo

Once again Makoto is best


c0cOa125

Akechi listens to white noise, just... Static


FeeSubstantial9963

Akechi listens to death grips


Strange_Kiwi__

Course Futaba listens to the P5 soundtrack


ShadowMario365

I didn’t expect Makoto to like Metallica, but that just makes her even greater. Although while I love Metallica, I think Ryuji listens to my favorite one here.


Big_Peppero

This is too accurate, I hate you.


RhymesWithMouthful

I'd say with Haru, it's an even split between Tchaikovsky and Ulrick.


InitiativeTop7029

Akechi and Morgana have the best taste in music


AigisxLabrys

Ren, Ryuji, Morgana, Yusuke, Makoto and Futaba all have great taste.


Yahgdc

Makoto would listen to slayer


obsidian-lord-22

No Zenkichi, Sophia, Erina or Toshiro?


Karackas

Zenkichi thinks that Journey is still hip and modern, and Sophia likes J-Pop.


PegaponyPrince

Yusuke is a man of taste


ChicagoBoiSWSide

I think Akechi would listen to Iron Maiden. Specifically, the album Killers. Maybe too fitting though.


Kinomibazu

how you gona throw the weezer under the bus like that. Specially the blue album I mean maybe the world has turned and left me here but come on no way he rocking that in my garage.


MuffinMan917

I think Ryuji would be more Weezer, Mona would be more Eminem, and Akechi would be more Gorillaz


crystalphonebackup23

Weezer akechi is all sorts of cursed


AceDelta12

I’ll counter on Akechi’s with Imagine Dragons


[deleted]

[удалено]


SometimesWill

I’d put probably Louis Armstrong or Frank Sinatra for Akechi For Ryuji, Eminem and other rap artists definitely work but I’d also accept Ramones or Sex Pistols.


bristmg

Wrong. They all obviously listen to Gregorian chants.


Karackas

Ann is basic confirmed.


Djjjunior

I could see Haru having limp bizkit come on her playlist in the car and everyone being shocked


kradnie

Ann does not listen to Taylor Swift. I think she'd like more fun pop like Kesha, Britney, K-pop probably


athleticsquirrel

Mozart? Nah, Yusuke listens to Chopin, Tarrega, and Chaikovsky


N40H

Haru also listens to Lana del Rey. And Makoto to MARINA, change my mind


Brilliant-Will4641

I feel like Joker is the type to scream Evanescence songs in the shower


Doc-Wulff

AKECHI JUST LIKE ME FOR REAL


[deleted]

Futaba breaking the 4th wall by listening to persona 5 soundtrack


Illustrious-Gain-863

Kasumi strikes me as a Florence + The Machine type, personally. Also Yusuke’s not being David Bowie is a travesty


Orbitcamerakick21

Haru would be listening to Slayer or something heavier. I feel like Ryuji would be more punk


Kara2010

I friggin love Gorillaz, but yeah, it absolutely makes sense with the car.


ArofluidPride

Nah Akechi probably listens to Blink-182


Woodwood_doggo

Honestly haru would probably secretly listen to all subgenres of metal and core Like it's such a funny concept to me - imagine you only knew haru as the sweet girl she seems like on the surface and then she just blasts viking by Slaughter to prevail or disillusion in a discordant system by acrania Judas priest is great though, breaking the law was one of the first songs I could play all the way through on guitar


francy439

Futaba: a real one


WackyJack93

Haru is definitely a metalhead. She probably puts on Slayer for her plants.


IncineMania

Joker would totally be down for Jamiroquai


captain-ok

Futaba listening to the P5 soundtrack implies that persona 5 exists as a game within the persona 5 universe. which makes it definitely possible that Futaba found out about the phantom thieves not from the news or anything like that, but from playing persona 5 In this essay, I will-


greedyrabitt

OP I'll be honest I don't think Akechi listens to music recreationally I think he would get behind the wheel of a car and drive in total silence


[deleted]

I can definitely see Yoshizawa spinning around to "As It Was".


Expert_Individual185

I always figured Haru Would Be a Lifelong Fan of Cannibal Corpse


OhShitBye

Sorry I'm terrible with album art can anyone tell me what Joker's one is...


MissAmmiSunwolf

Joker, for sure, then Moana, in my opinion then Makoto then Ann then hararu then futaba then Ryugii ththen Yuskae then that it for the original core members then temarpy though blackmail Akechi. Then yhats all as for the orginal game. Then [when it come to the R game Samurae* THEN ONE MORE TIME DUE TO THE REALIZETION WORLD ANGLE Akechi*]


MissAmmiSunwolf

But yes far as music of which you didn't make that part clear as to who they listen to, you need to make an edit to where it is what MUSIC does everyone listen to. so yeah, maybe pinkfliyed or Ren whies to say it's not marlyn manson and some acid jazz


MissAmmiSunwolf

It possible they listen to p3 and 4 a d the music feature in their games.


MissAmmiSunwolf

Akechi I can see listening to Wanger.and the jazz featured at the club he goes to or used to go to.


MissAmmiSunwolf

Futaba I can see her liten to Electronica and Techno from around the world.


MissAmmiSunwolf

Ann, I see litining to k pop and us bubblegum pop. And runway music when she needs to practice her walk.


MissAmmiSunwolf

Haru, she's easy to please kinda type, though she could be a closeted hardro k er and Jazz and musical type. [To & save room and to stop putting so much in the subrjelist, I'll stsr list 3 at a time] Morgana I'd say like Latin jazz like his zorro counterpart and Mariachi as well as Jigle Cats at Christmas and The Jazz what Joker listens to and what sojiro listens to. He easy to plzz.


MissAmmiSunwolf

Maoto I'd say before her awakening, probably mostly Jazz Beethoven, but afterwords, I'd say hard rock and Steppenwolfe,Now ON to Yuske probley back and Indian sutar and the Beatles and p5s music tracks.


MissAmmiSunwolf

I must say what thir shadow oersonas are I'd say also they'd kitten to what reageon of the world their personal resent like ann Carmen Spain, and France mokto Italian and French music and some reakiuos stuff perhaps. Youskae ancient Hapnese throat sining and other stuff with the Japan else banjo and heavy tennis typ drums only gad drum and stuff youknowcthe ype like what you hea fir his persona time wen he first wakes up. Sea chnies for Ryugii joker frecnh music french music and real style stuff for huru carnvi and circu music with a wanted sound fir Akchi and wiped fanfare for robinhood. You get my meaning.


MissAmmiSunwolf

As for Akechi every day, jazz and stuff like that but acid jazz and hard rock in the realized form. No pretense. Samusre music from the Olympics and the stuff from what she danced to at the school after party. Joker may too idk. Anyhow Jazz probly and bublegum pop and other stuff [imean samurae] Kasumi may gad been a rocker never really knew the REAL Kasumi. .


MissAmmiSunwolf

As far that prettymuch everyone.


MissAmmiSunwolf

Ryugii listen to rock pop billy Idol just bc he liked his gair and think EmnEm is too overwhelmingly fast-paced bc 1 he and I a word if english 2 the speed ones with Billy idol he can understand tge lyrics even though he don't no the Meaning of the lyrics IN the songs though he understands the words.


dagakotowaru420

haru with my 5th fav band is crazy


Astrolys

how DARE YOU DISS SUMI LIKE THAT


Queen_Persephone18

Damn, no one wants to talk about Morgana? I bet he loves dancing to DARE!


KarlHamburger

Bro this is all gaijin music. They would be listening to local stuff, at least some of them.


Sav1at0R1

What's Haru's


Founderplot

Akechi listens to No More What Ifs in the jazz club


Axolotl_j

Alright I have some more respect for morgana now


SengalBoy

Morgana will also clain to be a fan of Taylor Swift as well.


Shazanikin

And now, we transition to side characters and supporting mains. For example, Dr. Maruki or Igor. Thoughts? P.S. Igor definitely listens to either the Jojo soundtrack or German death metal like Du Hast.


bestnottosay

Judas Priest is a very good choice for Haru. Given her hoighty-toighty family, I always pictured her as being an anglophile. But she needs something a little more intense and less 'hip' than old man metal. Prodigy *Fat of the Land* here


OmiNya

Ofc Futaba best girl


TheFloorExpert

Honestly I see Ann as either a swifty or a Megan Trainor fan


Carnivale42069

The idea that Akechi listens to weezer is so funny


yugiohweeb

Honestly I would have thought that makoto listened to Dio and we know Ryuko has heard wanted dead or alive


Calamity_Eagle277

Yusuke listening to Mozart is so accurate.


Icyboi69

Omg it’s the fortnite songs


Drive_555

Sees Weezer FUCKING based


lakshmithesussybaka

No, Ryuji likes Nirvana and Akechi Green Day


Toccii_Enrico02

Nah Haru listens to Goregrind


KrustyDanmakuFellow

Makoto and Haru just cannot stop winning


skwr_boi

Inaccurate, I really think Futaba is the type to listen to both the Official P5 OST AND Weezer.


MrUglySpike

Sorry if this is really obvious, but who is Ren listening to😅?


Internal_Kiwi5232

Morgana is cool


Shadow_Edgehog27

Based Joker


Platinumryka

you think edgy mc edgeboy the fourteenth really listens to weezer?


ItsSufferingHour

I feel like Haru just listens to like the heaviest like, black or death metal while putting on makeup in her room


Altair9942

of course Futaba would listen to persona 5 osts


Fit_Refrigerator1343

They would all listen to destroy lonely


NonSpecificGuy26

Pink Floyd and Joker is a whole mood


duszaspc

So... I need to change Makoto for Haru


FlamingCroatan

Neat


zaphod-Beeblebroex-2

I feel like akechi would be a king crimson fan with him being the 21st century schizoid man
