Persona Q's Battle Music Refuses to Leave My Head

I played a lot of Persona Q this past weekend, but let me say, I loved every moment I spent in battle—though not because of the (perfectly adequate) battle system. What I really loved was the game’s awesome battle theme. The song, “Light the Fire Up in the Night,” has everything I want in n98 a Persona battle song: electric guitars, a brass section, a good beat, and rocking vocals by Persona regulars Lotus Juice and Yumi Kawamura. Moreover, there are two main versions of the song, depending on whether you are playing the Persona 3 or Persona 4 route of the game. (There is also a third mix of the song that I really love but I have yet to encounter it in-game.)
