Atlus announces Persona 5 “Big Band Concerts” to take place this December
Atlus has announced that a series of “Persona 5 Special Big Band Concerts” will take place in Japan this December.
The concerts, which will take place in Tokyo and Kobe, will feature the music of the popular role-playing game Persona 5 performed by a big band ensemble.
Persona 5, developed by Atlus, is a critically acclaimed JRPG that first launched in 2016.
Known for its stylish aesthetic, engaging story, and distinctive acid jazz-infused soundtrack, the game has gained a significant global following.
Its music, composed primarily by Shoji Meguro, plays a central role in establishing the game’s unique atmosphere.
Live orchestral and band performances of video game scores have become increasingly popular, offering fans an immersive way to experience their favorite soundtracks beyond the confines of the game.
The concert series will bring the sounds of Persona 5 to life with a big band consisting of approximately 30 musicians, featuring instruments such as trumpets, bass, and violins.
Lyn (Lyn Inaizumi), the primary vocalist for Persona 5’s soundtrack, will perform the vocal pieces.
Grammy Award-winning artist Charlie Rosen will serve as the music director and arranger, leading the ensemble.
Other confirmed performers include trumpeter Eric Miyashiro, alto saxophonist Andrew Gould, tenor saxophonist Zac Zinger, trumpeter Jimmy O’Connell, pianist and keyboardist Matthew Whitaker, bassist Julia Adamy, drummer Jared Schonig, and violinist Tomoko Akaboshi, along with the Eric Miyashiro Band and other musicians.
The Tokyo performances are scheduled for December 2, 3, and 4, 2025, at the Shinjuku Bunka Center Main Hall. Doors will open at 5:30 PM JST, with performances starting at 6:30 PM JST on all three nights.
