Trivia

 * The intro and ending VTRs are presented by the Teddie, Elizabeth, Margaret, Igor and Aigis in the elevator Velvet Room, done in the style of Persona 3 dialogue. Theodore makes a surprise appearance near the end of the ending VTR.
 * At the start of the concert, a cloaked figure stands in the middle of the stage while the band plays Heartful Cry, a song with no vocals. Once the next song starts the cloaked figure is revealed to be Yumi Kawamura, a main vocalist of Persona 3. This is a callback to Persona Music Live 2009 where the cloaked figure was the main vocalist of Persona 4, the latest game to be released back then. In comparison, the latest game released was Persona 3 Portable.
 * While performing the Satomidashi Drugstore Song, Shuuhei Kita and Shiroko Hirata dressed up as a pharmacist and nurse respectively. Lyrics were shown on the large screen behind them so that the audience were encouraged to sing along.
 * Three performances were included in one of the brand new bonus channels in Persona 4 Golden, Song Battle 2012. The songs in question are "P3 FES", "Deep Breath, Deep Breath" and "Never More".
