Hello everyone, I'm VaVa.
Starting from 'PERSONA LIVE TOUR 2024 -more ahead-', I participated as a DJ, collaborating repeatedly with the team at Atlus on live music arrangements.
Even now, I vividly remember the shock and excitement of receiving the offer, and the deep love for the game I felt from the staff throughout the production process.
And now in 2026, the 'Persona' series reaches its 30th anniversary, and 'Persona 3' celebrates its 20th. Congratulations!
For this perfect occasion, I've reconstructed and rearranged the 'Persona 3' tracks into a chill, laid-back style.
(Lotus Juice recorded new vocals specifically for this video!)
Even though I made it myself, I often listen to it during mornings and quiet times (laughs).
I hope it reaches all 'Persona' fans out there.
And thank you so much for always creating such amazing games!

Hello, I'm Motokuros Saito.
I was in charge of the pixel art and art direction for this music video.
Receiving the offer for such a special milestone—the 20th anniversary of 'Persona 3' and the 2nd anniversary of 'Persona 3 Reload'—filled me with determination to give it my all.
After playing the game, I was overwhelmed by the deep affection embedded in the work. I worked closely with the development team to meticulously visualize 'scenes that could have existed,' capturing every detail of the game's world.
I hope fans enjoy it.
It also made me truly happy to be able to draw my beloved Koromaru.
Thank you so much!
