I actually found something quite amusing regarding what you said here.
Apparently, when Minato hears Jika Net Tanaka, the song of the home shopping network in Persona, he describes it as an annoying song while Yu describes it as a cheery and catchy song. Even in the games themselves it was hinted they were opposites.
In fact, it reminds me a lot of some similar style tracks from Persona 2. There's a part at 1:08 that's almost identical to a segment from the intro to Eternal Punishment. Love it.
O: Is Tartarus back?! Otherwise, I have a sad story to share with all of you.
So, today, my cousin had some time to take me out to browse the too many shady shops in Taiwan, the mini island below Japan, both countries in which my family is spread out through. Naturally, I tend to ease toward the figurine and game shops, and to my utter shock and excitement, I saw:

I lost about a hundred pants right then and there. Monster Hunter 4 too! I completely forgot that my country was so close to Japan that they get imports about one or two weeks after Japan releases them! Naturally, I asked them if they had the special edition of the Persona Q 3DS XL because the games are actually cheaper in Taiwan and I could consider asking my family to ship the region-locked games, but they were out of stock and to order one, it cost about 11120 NT dollars and that's about 400 bucks USD. So, heart broken, I continued my journey as I did visit about like five other game shops, but they all said the same thing. Since Taiwan directly imports Japanese games to their game store, the 3DS XL there is called the 3DS LL, and they also had weird color Vitas that I would have bought if I didn't already have a black one:

I was pretty much saying to my cousin the entire time "我要哭了!" which means "I'm gonna cry" cause the dam game was so close to me (with about a hundred other Japanese games that were never going to localized, like a copy of J-Stars Victory VS. I almost bought it for the Vita since it wasn't region locked but I ain't made of money) and I wasn't going to get it any time soon, and I felt even worse for the people in Europe. Though, while browsing, I found another gem sitting in a magazine store:

Of course, the official guide would be useless to me and it was close to about 30 bucks in USD standard, but since the magazine on the right was less than half the price, I picked it up immediately. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. It was the June issue too. I've included screenshots below.
A nice picture of the Persona 4 Golden anime coming out:

All the Persona Q profiles, I've only included Yu, Yosuke, Chie, and Yukiko here so Souji can do his thing. <_<

And of course, Persona 4 merchandise we'll never get. A Minato style cup noodle too:

Surprisingly, the backside of the magazine contained a lot of Persona 3 and Persona 4 manga and some of them don't seem to be from the game itself, especially the Persona 3 one:

Now excuse me while I go cry myself to sleep. (If anyone wants information from the magazine on anything else, I'll take more pics.)
Whoa. Sounds like you had quite the adventure, lmao. I can only imagine the self-control you had to exhibit to willingly walk away from Persona Q, and not grab it off the shelf and make your escape into the nearest TV XD
Great find with the magazine. It's a shame it doesn't get localized, or at least an "e-version" in English or something like that, I'd love to see all the new stuff they have every month :NO:
Interesting to see all the merch, too. I'd love to get my hands on a pin or something to put on my schoolbag
And that Adachi face!!! Damn, the hype is real!
Thanks for sharing all this! Better go get some new pants, sounds like you've gone through many, many pairs

I'll ask Souji for some. <_< And I know right? Even now, I'm considering to order a Persona Q 3DSXL and cashing out most of my bank, but it's not worth it if I don't live in Taiwan all the time. Uggghhhh. :T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T::T_T:
