Now, here we are in 2026. The Persona series is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and Persona 3 its 20th—congratulations! For this amazing milestone, I’ve arranged Persona 3‘s music into a more chill style. (PS: Lotus Juice even recorded brand-new vocals specially for this video!)
It might sound weird as the guy who arranged this track, but I actually listen to it a lot in the mornings, haha. I hope it reaches every Persona fan out there! Thank you for always creating such incredible games, ATLUS!
