This is very cool. I love bandori and P5. And desperately tried to roll for the Ran Joker card to no avail. I’m going to read all this in full later!!

Bandori x Persona 5 Crossover

Title: In which Ran is supposed to do a Karaoke

A.k.a Ran was forced to do karaoke and be a fan of her own band. The Thieves absolutely don't know that the band they like is actually Ran’s friends and band. At this rate, Ran needs to go to Tsugu for braincell advice, since Nijima-san ain't doing anything.

Mitake Ran hasn't sung for almost 5 months. Despite what happened to Himari, she was encouraged by her childhood friends to at least have a life. Himari scolded her, for acting similar to a zombie. Although Ran didn't sing anymore.She still partakes in flower arranging for her future career.

She could not say no to Himari after all. After what happened of course. Or maybe it was a change of heart. Who wouldn't want to change the heart of a Phantom Thief.

So, it was basically just another day for her. After the defeat of Medjed and gave Sakura Futaba, a new member of the Phantom Thieves, a change of heart. They promised to have a meeting in a karaoke room. They did promise privacy, which Ran doubts, karaoke rooms are similar to studios after all.

Although, Ran doubts she would want to join. Yet, this is a phantom thief meeting. So now, Mitake Ran is waiting next to her fellow thieves, Nijima Makoto and Kitagawa Yusuke. She did talk to them, school related or art related. Although, Ran isn't much of an expert on the media arts than the musical arts.

Nijima-san reminds her of Sayo-san from Roselia. Sayo-san tends to follow the rules, despite her not being the Student Council President like her twin, Hina-san. Nijima-san, also known as Queen, is the strategist of the phantom thieves.

Kitagawa is much more eccentric. He is the artist of the thieves, creating the calling cards. Although she did realise that everytime they make a calling card, both Sakamoto and Kitagawa seemed to ask her a lot when it comes to polishing the calling card. Maybe being a lyricist of Afterglow can be quite useful after all.

Maybe Ran has lied to herself. She did sing, but only for herself. The day Minato-san asked if she is still passionate about singing. She didn't truly know the answer. Maybe in some part, somewhere within her lies her passion for singing.

“Yo! Makoto-senpai! Yusuke! Ranran! Where here!” She can hear Sakamoto Ryuji coming from a mile away. He reminds her of Tomoe.

“Sakamoto,” Ran merely shook her head, “Do NOT call me Ranran,”

“Too late,” Sakamoto merely answer, “I did told you to call me, Ryuji,”

“Ano. . .c-can we go to the karaoke?” Sakura Futaba, the newest member of the Phantom Thieves asked quietly. The girl is shy, but Ran knows she's a genius hacker.

Now it made her feel insignificant. Everyone in the Phantom Thieves has their own roles, and capabilities. But Ran? She felt like nothing. She didn't see herself artistically talented like Kitagawa, a genius hacker like Futaba-san, a disciplined strategist like Nijima-san, a capable fighter like Sakamoto & Takamaki, nor a great leader like Akira-kun. She would always doubt herself as a Phantom Thief. She trained hard, but she wouldn't be as good as them, she always seemed to lack.

Before she knew it, everyone was coming into the karaoke room, and Ran chose to sit on a chair, a bit further away from others, aiming to just observe. Everyone sang, of course, lots of songs and karaoke as Ran watched. They took a break by drinking as they discussed their favourite bands and music.

“For me? Pastel Palettes I guess,” She heard Ann said, “I actually modelled with them actually Eve-chan, she's actually great, really kind, really likes to say Bushido,”

It is supposed to be tamed. But for Ran it would end up horrifying. They are going to talk about the girl bands she used to have a joint concert with.

“Woahh Pastel Palettes? I like Poppin’ Party!” Futaba-san exclaimed, “Their songs are like super doki-doki and it's really fun to listen to!”

Futaba-san then looked at Ran, “Etto, Ran, is there any band you like?” She asked, seemingly curious. Ran can't really shut down the conversation. So she sighs, thinking about it first. She wasn't sure to be frank.

She merely shook her head, “There is not any bands I am interested in, but I am into rock genre,” She crosses her arms when she said it.

It was then Ann suddenly said, “I like this song. . .Y.O.L.O covered by Pastel Palettes. I think it was from another band, Afterglow is it,”

It was that time, Mitake Ran knew, she fucked up.

“I heard about it,” Nijima-san added, “I listened to it once recommended by a classmate. The original one is better I supposed,”

“Let's sing it!” Futaba-san exclaimed, “Wait, Ranran! Can you sing it? Pretty please, you haven't sing yet,”

The girl begged Ran. Yet Ran knew she couldn't resist it, she felt bad for the girl after all. “Fine,” She said, taking the mic from the front, as Futaba-san typed for YOLO. Then the lyric video came out, but even then, Ran didn't have to rely on the lyrics to sing. Ironically, she actually did create the song after all, alongside the rest of Afterglow. But she didn't disappoint everyone. She rarely sings to the point of having audiences these few months. Well after the Minato fiasco that is.

Ran doubts she wants to talk about how her “former” rival has chosen to “kidnap” her to CIRCLE. Just to sing Kyoen Red X Violet. It would end up being a complicated talk after all.

The music started, she can feel the familiar song. She wouldn't lie, she felt Moca's guitar, Himari’s Bass, Tsugumi's Piano and Tomoe’s guitar, as it started.

She remembered how she strummed the guitar as she sang In Front of the audience, her passionate voice as she sang alongside Afterglow. She lived with it and she was thrilled.

“Hey, "Y.O.L.O!!!!!"

Kabe no takasa nante kankeinai yo

Norikoeta jijitsu ga daiji sa

Kono basho ni gonin ga iru koto

Kakegaenai koto de

Hey, "Y.O.L.O!!!!!"

Jibun wo tsuranuki rashiku hikare!

Kagayaki wa nani yori mo kirei...

Zettai daijoubu dayo yareru saa! Yes, sir!

Zettai daijoubu dayo yareru saa! Yes, sir!

Utsukushiki yozora no ichibanboshi sagashi ni yukou”

She sang passionately, as if it was coming back. Of course she wasn't as good as five months ago, but it was better than her first time. She got the techniques now and she knows how to control her tone and rhythms. Despite not singing for a long time, she still got it.

Reaching those high notes and low notes, accurately conveying the story. This particular song was supposed to be for Pastel Palettes, before Afterglow wants to keep it for themselves. But Ran and the others allowed Aya & the Pastel Palettes to sing it as a cover.

When the song was finished, she was heavily breathing before chugging down a bottle of water. Then she looks at the others, expecting a disappointed but not amazed expression. It's been awhile since she sang, and it's not what she used to be.

“WOAHHH!!!! Ranran, YOU CAN SING?” Sakamoto exclaimed.

“It sounded so cool! I could feel my heart pounding to the beat as you sing!” Takamaki added.

“ENCORE! ENCORE!” Futaba-san chanted.

Ran didn't really feel that comfortable with the attention. She blushed, she felt her face red in embarrassment. “G-guys,” she said, “Please. . . stop. . “

Ran looked down, feeling uncomfortable about it. She hadn't really sung.

“Guys, give her some boundaries, she clearly didn't feel comfortable,” Nijima-san, no, Makoto scolded, “But Ran, you sing passionately,”

“Hehe, sorry, but really, Makoto is right, you sing so passionately!” Ann said.

It made Ran’s chest warm as she blushed. Maybe Minato-san is right (she begrudgingly thought), she does still have passion in singing. But why did she sing?

“Most of Ran’s lyrics are technically inspired by our experiences, you know!” Ran remembered Himari. 

“Ran, when you sing, it makes me want to follow you, it's always so passionate, and lively, I wish to catch up with you!” She remembered what Tsugumi would say. 

Does that mean she sang for them?

“B-but! I think we all agree that Afterglow’s songs are the best!” Morgana said, catching Ran out of her own thinking, “After all, it somehow fits the Phantom Thieves aesthetics after all,”

“Oooo what if they make a song about us! That would be so cool!” Ryuji exclaimed. The thieves agreed that Afterglow is now their official favourite band as a group. 

Although, that made Ran cringe since she is a “member” of Afterglow.

Author's Note: How was it? Did you like it? Imagine being friends who don't know that you're basically the band they like. Funky stuff, Ran didn't sign up for this. Poor girl tho. Anyways, please leave a like and share it with others please. Oh you can even request if you want! Take care and have a great day!

Another note, Y.O.L.O is bangers, and it's an AU. Pasupare did make a cover rather than claiming the song as theirs, because Ran and Tomoe combined is just scary. What if I make all of the members of Afterglow Phantom Thieves? Oh well, just a thought.

Wait I almost forgot, GSC has not even made a thief outfit for Futaba. Give us that along with black mask Akechi.

Goro Akechi Winter Nendoroid

Look cool they’re making this and all. It goes with the new Shujin AkiRen released earlier in the year. However, internally I’m thinking, if GSC is making a new Goro Akechi Nendoroid, why the fuck is it not black costume ver. I mean fucking seriously, It would be so cool!
