Hi.

Susukida, in charge of the direction of Persona 3 Portable here.

Till now, I have been working alongside Hashino and Soejima in Persona 3 and 4, designing event scenes, adding bits here and there to pace the story, but this time I will be working with the game system director Kido on the system layout and graphic design!

Part 4 of Famitsu’s P3P Creator’s Blog translations. They probably say it all the time because it’s their job, but have you preordered your copy yet? (lol)

Hi, Hashino here.

The release date of Persona 3 Portable is drawing near

Getting into the Top 30 Most Anticipated new game releases on Weekly Famitsu has been something greater than what we had expected.

The readers may have had a chance to experience the game at the Tokyo Game Show last week, too.

How was it?

An update of translations of the entries on the Famitsu Persona 3 Portable Creator’s blog. Meguro Shoji probably needs no introduction, and I’m really looking forward to the new tracks.

On to the translation of his first entry!

Hi, This is Meguro, in charge of the music of Persona 3 Portable

It’s been a month since the announcement of Persona 3 Portable, and some game screencaps have been released, so I’ll continue with an update on the music side.

Ume here, writing from Shinjuku. This post will be terribly delayed because the internet doesn’t work at the hotel I’m staying in, but in any case I’ll be typing this report while everything is still fresh in my head.

It’s the Golden Ticket!

Pictures and concert impressions after the jump!

I have a cold and a test tomorrow, but this comes first!

Hi,

It may be sudden, but have you seen this week’s Famitsu?
Doesn’t it sound like shady rumor material?

No gravure here (But of course),
This is the scoop on Persona 3, the PSP port!

Roughly a year ago, I saw this report on Famitsu which made me stare at my screen blankly and curse loud enough for my neighbours to hear.

Today, I picked up a copy of Famitsu, and saw this.

Yes, the one night of legend, the (!) Persona Music Live, is finally coming out on DVD!

Hell yes, preorder time. More information is available at aniplex’s site here.

17 more days to Maki.

Good day, Meguro here.

Japan won at the World Baseball Classic yesterday!
Actually I had the day off yesterday and stayed at home to work on the music for a certain project, but I happened to watch the broadcast of the WBC during the afternoon and couldn’t stop!
In the end I only managed to start on work when evening came…
