Could a Persona 4 remake finally be on the cards? If you'll excuse my pun, it certainly looks like there's a chance, because singer Shihoko Hirata – best known for her work on the P4 games – has confirmed she's "recording for a new game," promptly sending JRPG fans into a frenzy.
In a post on Instagram, the singer notes that "the piece is pretty tough, so I'm a bit nervous about getting it right. But I'll do my best!" As has been pointed out by Twitter account @rudiger__tw, the picture she's attached to her post appears to show MIT Studio, which according to music database Discogs, is where recordings for multiple other Persona soundtracks (including Persona 5, Persona 3 Reload, and Persona 4 Dancing All Night) have taken place.

However, in the replies to her post, Hirata has liked a number of comments featuring Persona 4 GIFs – could that be another hint?
