Music video Persona 3 20th Anniversary Remix released!
Atlus released the 20th anniversary music video, "Persona 3" 20th Anniversary Remix.
This special video fuses a Persona 3 music arrangement by DJ VaVa (@vava_cds) with nostalgic pixel art visuals by pixel artist Motocross Saito (@moot_sai).
Listen while working, studying, or relaxing to immerse yourself in the world of Persona.
Comment from DJ VaVa
Hello everyone! My name is VaVa.
I have participated as a DJ since "PERSONA LIVE TOUR 2024 -more ahead-," creating live music arrangements while exchanging ideas with the team at Atlus many times.
I remember the shock and excitement when I received the offer, and the deep love for the game that I felt from the staff during the production process.
Now, in 2026, the Persona series has reached its 30th anniversary, and Persona 3 has reached its 20th anniversary.
Congratulations!
For this occasion, I reconstructed and arranged Persona 3 music into a chill vibe, which felt like the perfect timing.
(Lotus Juice recorded new vocals for this video!)
I know it's a bit conceited for the creator to say, but I often listen to it in the morning (laughs).
I hope it reaches all Persona fans.
And thank you so much for always making the best games!

Comment from Motocross Saito, Pixel Artist
Nice to meet you, I'm Motocross Saito.
I was in charge of the pixel art and music video art direction.
I received this project for the special milestone of the 20th anniversary of Persona 3 and the 2nd anniversary of Persona 3 Reload, and I poured my whole soul into it.
I felt overwhelmed by the deep love within the work after playing it, so I had to capture even the smallest details of the world, working thoroughly with the developers to flesh out "landscapes that might have been."
I hope the fans enjoy it.
I was also really happy to draw Koromaru, whom I love so much.
Thank you!

Comment from Arito Chida, Director
Congratulations on the 20th anniversary of Persona 3.
I am honored to be involved in a project that marks a milestone for a work loved for so many years.
While playing the game and holding repeated meetings with everyone, I strongly felt the dedication and passion poured into the work.
That is precisely why I gave it my all, aiming to bring joy to as many people as possible through this project and to help build excitement for the anniversary.
I believe it has become a truly wonderful video, filled with the passion and dedication of many creators, starting with Motocross-san and VaVa-san.
I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
I hope you enjoy the video.
