PERSONA LIVE TOUR 2024 | My time at the Persona concert in Japan

I got the chance to go to another Persona concert! Known as PERSONA LIVE TOUR 2024, it took place in a much smaller venue, and had several showings in 2 locations in Japan. I hope every Persona fan is able to attend one of these concerts at some point in their lives, because they are life-changing.

This may be rude, but the person you took a picture with at the end was not YU_JURRY but just a fan, a cosplayer iyiy_4. He also did a great Junpei, but some fans said that audience cosplay should be banned because it causes chaos like this.

[@TheBranMan]

Wow, I feel like such a fool lmao. He looked just like the guy who was on stage at the time, and when I complimented his dancing he totally acted like he was the one that was up there during the show. Looking at the photos of the performers, and of that cosplayer, I see now how different they look. Banning cosplay seems a bit extreme, but I definitely think impersonating a cast member is pretty immoral. Thank you for pointing this out.

Great video!

[@biomac5449]

Going to a persona concert sounds awesome. Havent seen this channel before I like the editing style it's refreshing.❤

[@TheBranMan]

It really is! And thank you so much, I've been having a lot of fun trying some new editing things with this one over the past week, so it means a lot to me that you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind words!

[@xxbillybarnes]

man im so jealous of the makoto mp3 player. great vid man. im scummy biritish and know no japanese, so no chance of me getting to one of these lol

[@ALiparulo]

i also went to the osaka one, great recap. I loved how here and there people switched their lights to green hoping for a p6 announcement (i was one of those people).

[@TheBranMan]

Oh wow, same! I was definitely expecting some kind comment, but if I remember right all we got was another plug for the P3R Expansion pass. (Although I have to admit, I also had mine on green in the hopes of summoning a Futab lol) Small world though, wow! Whereabouts were you in the audience if you don't mind me asking?

[@donacdum]

Perfecto

[@gabscaldas9860]

What a great video bro! Im now dreaming about the day im going to one these too lol

[@Kurea47]

Thank for sharing your experience and the merch with us. I never knew the penlights had Persona-themed designs on them and they look well made too! Still, they make you buy an overpriced drink on top of an already pricey ticket to let you in? Atlus thinks their fans are made of money! 😭 Thanks for the heads up though! So how did you pay or what would you recommend a future traveler/tourist use to purchase things in Japan? With cash or is there like a debit/credit card you can get while you're there? I loved hearing about the inside concert jokes! If Yumi Kawamura were there, the crowd would've shouted "Cute! Yumi, you're cute!" and then she would've been like "Shut it!" lol Also huge respect to folks like you who pronounce names correctly :D

[@TheBranMan]

Lol, I think the drinks are a venue rule, since I went to a Hatsune Miku concert here and they had the same system. It's only 600yen (3.81usd), so not a huge deal to me especially compared to the ticket price. I probably should've said the price in the video lol For payment, cash here is always the safest bet: some places will only accept cash, so it's always a good idea to have some on you. While I live here now, back when I first came on travel, I usually used my American card even though it had a small foreign currency surcharge. But you can also use a Suica card or an Icoca card if you want (both are pretty much the same), which you load cash onto at a kiosk, usually located in train stations. A lot of stores accept them, and they also make paying for trains super easy (just tap the card at the ticket gate when you enter and exit) so I definitely recommend one of those. And thank you for the compliment about my pronunciation! Sometimes it can be kinda hard switching from an American English accent to a single Japanese name, then back to English, but I'm glad it sounds okay. Thank you for the kind words!

[@Kurea47]

@@TheBranMan Yeah, my frugal side was all, "What? You already paid for the ticket but you gotta pay for a drink too? C'mon!" lol Thank you so much for your advice! I'll look into the Suica/Icoca card. It sounds convenient to use.

[@RecursiveBias]

Don't forget to always bring hearing protection to live concerts, wedding receptions, fashion shows, etc.!

[@guap0nic0]

Thank you for sharing this video. Have to ask how it was going as an American English speaker (assuming you’re American whose primary language is English). Were there other English speakers there? Did you feel out of place at all or was it easy to get your bearings? Thanks again :)

[@TheBranMan]

That's correct, I'm from America and English is my native language. I did see maybe 1 or 2 other non-Japanese people there, but not as many as there were at P Sound Wish 2022. As for feeling out of place, I suppose I would have, but I've been living in Japan for about 3 years now so I think I've managed to get used to that feeling by now. Going to unfamiliar events like this is always a bit nerve-wracking for me, but I think it also helped that I've been going to more concerts over the past year so I'm getting a better sense of what to expect in general. Luckily I've had a lot of good friends and opportunities that have let me get better at speaking Japanese, but I think that this event would still be perfectly doable for someone who doesn't speak any at all. The staff seemed really organized at getting people lined up and into the venue at the right time, so even if one didn't speak Japanese, they could still probably follow the crowd and get into the show. The part where they were calling ticket numbers to enter the building might've been difficult without any Japanese, but in my experience, if you just try talking to the staff in English, they can almost always help you in simple English, or at least track down another staff member who can speak more fluently. Thank you for the kind comments! I appreciate it, and I hope this answers your questions.

[@guap0nic0]

@@TheBranMan Thank you so much for this thorough response! One day I hope to attend one of the P Live events.

[@seanmartinez6908]

They gotta rip the bandaid and do a show in America, will be successful for sure.

[@leeku2054]

I saw the google drive of the performance and seeing ryuji hype up the dj was really funny!

[@TheBranMan]

I'm glad there's an archive of it already, and that you were able to see it! The dancers really did go all out on this one, I have to wonder how many fun interactions like that there were that I could have missed

[@AkrazyGamer]

Pls send it to me

[@Magatsu.Izanagi]

Could you send the link to the performance?

[@StoryOfGaiden]

Can you drop the link

[@seanmartinez6908]

Post link 👁️

[@davinlee3412]

Sucks that you don't let us hear at least a small bit of a song played during the concert.😢

[@TheBranMan]

If you mean a live recording (since I did include some of the official soundtrack versions of the music), I didn't want to get in trouble since filming or recording is all prohibited. I think there's an album of the P Sound Wish 2022 concert though on Spotify (and probably elsewhere too) if you wanna listen to that and get a feel for how the live performances would've sounded here. Sorry I couldn't include that though!
