"My duty is♪ To calm the hearts of visitors♪ For this, I must hear my heart's music♪ Though my ears♪ Block out the world's sounds♪ Your words reach me quite clearly♪"
"Aria of the Soul" (全ての人の魂の詩?, lit. "Poem of Everyone's Soul") is a theme central throughout the entire Persona series, prominently noted to play in the Velvet Room.
It is found on the Persona 3 Original Soundtrack, the Persona 4 Original Soundtrack and the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Original Soundtrack, as well as a version of the aria found on Burn My Dread -Reincarnation: Persona 3-. The melody was also remixed as The Battle for Everyone's Souls, which serves as the penultimate final battle theme of Persona 3 and as Elizabeth's theme in Persona 4 Arena. In addition, there are currently two other versions that have been included in the respective game OSTs of Persona 3 and Persona 4 called Blues in Velvet Room and Electronica in Velvet Room, which were also featured in Persona 4 Arena as background themes for the character select screen. A short version of the track called "Aria of the Soul (Signing Off)" is also played in the Game Over of the game. There is also The Bond of Everyone's Souls from Persona 4 The Animation as well as Dance Hymn of the Soul (Disco in Velvet Room) in Persona 4: Dancing All Night.

Trivia
The most recent version of the song (heard in the Velvet Room of Persona 3 and 4) sounds rather similar to the ending theme of the first Persona.
- This is more apparent in Burn My Dread -Reincarnation: Persona 3-'s incarnation of the song as it uses the same beginning as Persona's ending theme
