Persona Music Live: Velvet Room in Akasaka BLITZ

8/29/2008

On August 22nd Atlus held a special concert featuring live music from the most recent Shin Megami Tensei: Persona titles: Persona 3, Persona 3 FES, and Persona Trinity Soul. The event was held in Akasaka, Tokyo at a special concert hall called BLITZ.

Japanese concerts are very different from American concerts. (Unless you go to a lot of N’Sync concerts or something…) As you can see, it’s quite a production–dancers, effects, a huge fucking screen, the works.

The theme of the concert was that everyone who attended was a “Main Character”, and that they were actually entering the Velvet Room. The screen up top featured witty dialog between Igor, Elizabeth, and Margret.

As always, there was loads of awesome merchandise that you’ll probably never ever own. Sorry.

Tickets to the event were 4,500 yen, around $40 USD. Not bad considering it looks like a lot of fun. You can check out more photos of it here. Below is the complete setlist. I left the songs in their original Japanese… hope that doesn’t piss anyone off. If you are not familiar with the songs, you can find links to download them at the Related Entires section of this post.

On a side note, this is my 200th post since starting this blog! I think it has changed a lot since it’s humble beginings as a way to burn spare time while attending school in Osaka, Japan. I think the changes are for the better though. I hope you guys feel the same way!

sounds like a lot of fun, wish i could go to stuff like these. as many concerts, shows, and conventions vegas gets, it’s never anything anime or game realated.

Wow, I didn’t realize you lived near Vegas, that’s pretty cool. It seems like even when places in America hold anime/game related cons, they are lacking the effort Japan puts into theirs. I guess it is all in the eye of the beholder, but that is just my sentiment.
