PERSONA５ Special Big Band Concert Asia Tour 2026

Experience the music from ATLUS’s globally acclaimed hit game “PERSONA５” delivered in a stylish and authentic big band sound. The music from “PERSONA５” which is one of the most popular titles in the Japanese RPG “PERSONA” series (with over 22 million copies sold worldwide), is powerfully and dynamically reborn through the talents of approximately 30 top-tier musicians selected from the US and Japan.

A luxurious big band has been specially assembled for this concert. The music arrangements, music direction, and conducting are handled by the Maestro Charlie Rosen, a two-time Grammy and two-time Tony Award winner. Lyn, who performed all vocals in “PERSONA５”, is the featured singer. The band members include astonishing musicians active in New York, the holy land of jazz, alongside Japan’s top players selected by world-renowned trumpeter Eric Miyashiro

“PERSONA５” has garnered worldwide acclaim for its musicality, featuring a wide range of genres including jazz, funk, and soul, composed by Shoji Meguro. This concert, presenting those magnificent songs with the ultimate big band, was held for the first time in Japan last year. Tickets were sold out instantly after going on sale. Even the hastily added extra performance was also sold out immediately, drawing over 10,000 enthusiastic fans into a whirlwind of excitement.

Furthermore, the concert was invited to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival Japan, the Japanese edition of the world-renowned Montreux Jazz Festival. Sharing the stage with jazz legends like Herbie Hancock and Nate Smith, it transcended game music, receiving enthusiastic applause from core jazz fans and music listeners alike.

Arranger/Music Director Charlie Rosen also leads the Grammy Award-winning big band jazz orchestra specializing in game music, “The 8-Bit Big Band.” In 2025, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals for his arrangement of the “PERSONA５” track “Last Surprise.”

This “PERSONA５ Special Big Band Concert,” led by Rosen, is drawing intense global attention as a show that transcends the conventional concept of game music concerts, combining the highest quality musicality with entertainment value.
