Persona 5 Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 2016 game Persona 5. The original music was composed and arranged by Shoji Meguro, with further contributions from Toshiki Konishi, Kenichi Tsuchiya, Atsushi Kitajoh, and Ryota Kozuka. The physical album released in Japan on January 17, 2017, and a complete English-localized release became available to purchase through iTunes on April 18, 2017. The album was later released on digital streaming services in January 2021.
Production
The Persona 5 Original Soundtrack was primarily composed by Shoji Meguro, a composer who has worked with Atlus since the late 1990's, alongside Atsushi Kitajoh and Ryota Kozuka. Songs for the game's 2D animated scenes were composed by Toshiki Konishi, and sound effects were handled by Kenichi Tsuchiya.[1][2]
Development began early in the game's production cycle, approximately three years before release. Meguro was given complete creative freedom for the game's music, and not given any specific direction from the game's producer, Katsura Hashino.[3] Meguro spent six months figuring out the musical direction for the game, originally considering a brass jazz feel similar to Lupin III. After more consideration, he landed on the acid jazz style, inspired by the bands Jamiroquai and United Future Organization.[4] As the scenario, script, and overall game environment were being established and storyboards were being drafted, Meguro and his team composed demo tracks to align with the initial concepts. These demos were refined alongside the game's development, with adjustments made to synchronize the music with visuals and narrative beats. In total, Meguro composed 97 tracks for the game, with 70-80 of these compositions making it into the final release.[3]
The soundtrack's emphasis on acid jazz is a stylistic choice intended to match the protagonist's laid-back style, emphasize the Phantom Thieves' looseness and youthful naïveté, and bring life into the tense and unsettling moments in the game.[5][4] "Phantom," the background music used on the title screen and an example of the acid-jazz style, was described as "extremely "Persona 5-esque!" by Hashino during development.[1] Themes for boss battles and other ominous scenes are expressed through powerful rock productions, a style chosen to mirror the heavy emotions of the characters and evoke the image of a strong enemy standing before the team of thieves, while common battles were given a more upbeat feel and featured prominent string instruments.[3] A motif of "So-La" was incorporated into the soundtrack across the album in subtle ways, most notably on the lyrics "You'll see" during the chorus of "Last Surprise.[4][1]
Production involved extensive experimentation with instruments and effects. The electric piano emerged as one of the most distinctive instruments, and is heavily featured throughout the soundtrack. Meguro also incorporated a Korg Wavedrum percussion synthesizer in tracks like "King, Queen, and Slave" for added rhythmic depth, and frequently layered real and synthesized instruments to create a blend of organic and digital textures. The Muroya Strings, a 12-piece string ensemble conducted by Koichiro Muroya, was brought on to handle the orchestrated sections on tracks across the album, with Meguro layering in programmed strings for extra depth.[4] Other unique instruments and synthesizers were used elsewhere in the soundtrack: "Price" features a Central Asian wind instrument called a zurna, "New Beginning" is performed with an Irish flute, the melody for "Will Power" was developed by applying a harmonic synthesizer plug-in to a guitar, and "Tokyo Emergency" uses a guitar gradually raising in pitch to mimic an ambulance's siren.[2]
For the game's vocal tracks, Meguro aimed to move away from catchy pop melodies, instead opting for a more "cool" and "real" sound by incorporating elements of old-school soul.[2] The main requirement for the vocalist role was a female singer who could perform authentic soul music; after listening to several demo tapes Meguro chose Lyn Inaizumi, saying that her voice fit his vision perfectly.[4] Like with many of Meguro's previous vocal songs, lyrics for all new songs were written primarily in English, except for the end credits theme. The decision to use English lyrics was not necessarily made to appeal to an international audience, but rather because, for Japanese players, English lyrics tend to blend into the background, making them less distracting during gameplay.[3] Meguro focused on getting the English vocals as good as possible, aiming for perfect pronunciation and the right feeling for the music, even if he couldn't understand the English itself.[6] Lyn's English lyrics were penned by Benjamin Franklin and Rike Schmalz, while the end credits theme was written by Shigeo Komori.
Tracks underwent multiple iterations to ensure they matched the pacing of in-game events. For example, "Escape" was revised several times to capture the tension of the game's opening sequence, while "Life Will Change" was reworked late in development to better fit the structure of the Treasure Heist sequences.[2] The soundtrack was being worked on throughout the game's development, and early renditions could be heard in trailers prior to the game's release. Some of these iterations became available to the public after multiple prototypes of Persona 5 leaked in early 2024, with build dates as early as December 2015.[7] Many of the prototype recordings are near-identical to the final release, with only minor differences like a shorter duration and missing backing instruments. However, all vocal tracks have different mixes and use regular instruments in place of Lyn's voice. Notably, a demo recording of "Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There" with vocals performed by Yumi Kawamura and different lyrics plays on the title screen, despite a reveal of the finished version appearing at Tokyo Games Show 2015. Three songs from Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight were included and used for testing purposes as well.[8][9]
Release
The soundtrack was announced at the Persona 5 stage event at Sega Fes, a Sega-related exhibition held on November 19, 2016.[10] The album was officially released in Japan as a three-disc set on January 17, 2017, published by Mastard Records. Containing 110 tracks, the discs are accompanied by commentary from the sound team, with cover art and booklet illustrations by character designer Shigenori Soejima.[11] To celebrate the release, a special in-store event was held at Tower Records Shinjuku’s event space on the album's release day, where Lyn held a mini-live performance and a signing session. Tickets were given to those who pre-ordered and purchased the CD.[12] A preview video featuring portions of 10 of the album's songs was published to Atlus Japan's YouTube channel, atlustube, to coincide with the release. The album was originally packaged with a multi-disc jewel case inside of a three-sided slipcase, but from January 2024 onward the album was packaged without the slipcase.[11] Nearly all songs present in-game are available on the album, with the exception of the theme that plays while visiting the Meiji Shrine.
An English-localized release of the album became available to purchase on Apple iTunes on April 18, 2017.[13] It was later added to Spotify in Japan in 2018 as part of the "PlayStation Game Music Grand Prize," where it ranked first based on number of plays,[14] and the album became available on multiple streaming services worldwide in January 2021.[15]
Reception
Pre-orders for the soundtrack placed the album at number one on the Oricon charts for the day it released.[16][17] After release, it debuted at number five on the Oricon weekly chart, selling more than 29,000 copies in its first week[18][19] and was ranked within the top 300 albums for 62 weeks.[20] An analysis conducted by U4GM showed that as of October 2024, the Persona 5 soundtrack ranked 3rd by number of plays among all video game soundtracks on Spotify, ranking underneath The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Undertale.[21]
Prior to Sega Fes in 2016, Atlus held a survey to determine the top five songs in the soundtrack; "Life Will Change" was decided to be the winner, followed by "Rivers in the Desert," "The Whims of Fate," "Last Surprise," and "Will Power."[10] Another survey was held from January 31 to February 9, 2020, during the promotion for Persona 5 Strikers, and every song in the soundtrack was ranked based on number of votes; the top five songs in order were voted to be "Life Will Change," "Rivers in the Desert," "Last Surprise," "Whims of Fate," and "Hoshi To Bokura To."[22]
The music in Persona 5 gained critical praise immediately after the game's release; The Verge's Andrew Webster lauded the soundtrack, saying it "makes everyday life feel cool,"[23] and in a review for IGN, Andrew Goldfarb praised it for tying together "everything from quiet moments to bombastic boss battles."[24] The soundtrack also earned Persona 5 multiple awards nominations for "Best Music" as well, including from IGN,[25] Giantbomb,[26] and The Game Awards.[27]
