Conductor Charlie Rosen, whose "Last Surprise" cover earned a Grammy nomination in 2024, led the big band. The setlist included "Ambitions and Visions" from P5X and tracks from the game's "Third Semester." Lyn returned as vocalist.
The Persona 5 Special Big Band Concert returned on June 30 at Pacifico Yokohama National Hall, one-upping its 2025 predecessor in scale and ambition. Conductor Charlie Rosen, whose "Last Surprise" cover earned a Grammy nomination in 2024, led a big band through jazz arrangements of the game's soundtrack. Vocalist Lyn performed live, and the setlist this time reached beyond the base game: it included "Ambitions and Visions" from Persona 5: The Phantom X, the mobile spin-off that just marked its first anniversary, plus tracks from the "Third Semester" expansion. The venue's larger capacity and increased sound pressure gave the arrangements a thickness the reporter said was absent the previous year. Makoto Niijima's recorded announcements replaced Haru Okumura's from the earlier show.
