YOASOBI’s PlayStation Song Becomes a Chart-Topping Hit in Japan

A song celebrating PlayStation’s 30th anniversary has taken Japan by storm! The track, titled Players, was created by the popular Japanese music duo YOASOBI, and it has quickly climbed to the number one spot on the Japanese iTunes chart.

To mark 30 years of PlayStation, Sony teamed up with YOASOBI to create a song that honors the gaming brand’s legacy.

As part of the project, PlayStation fans were invited to share their personal memories of the console. These stories inspired the lyrics, making Players a tribute to the experiences and emotions of gamers who grew up with PlayStation.

Since its release, Players has been a huge success. The animated music video, uploaded to PlayStation Japan’s official YouTube channel, has already surpassed two million views in less than three days. The song’s energetic electropop sound, combined with its nostalgic theme, has resonated with both gamers and music fans alike.

It’s no surprise that Players is performing so well. YOASOBI is one of Japan’s biggest music acts right now, known for creating hit songs that have been featured in popular anime like Blue Period and Oshi no Ko. Their signature style blends storytelling with vibrant melodies, making them a perfect fit for this special collaboration.

On the other hand, PlayStation remains a major force in the gaming industry. Although Nintendo dominates the Japanese market, PlayStation still has a strong following in the country. Many gamers in Japan have fond memories of playing PlayStation consoles, from the original PlayStation to the latest PS5.
