PAC-MANISM: The Revolution in Music Video Gaming
On November 19, 2025, Bandai Namco Entertainment announced an exciting collaboration to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the iconic PAC-MAN. The company has teamed up with the popular band Yabai T-shirt Yasan to release a unique multimedia experience titled
PAC-MAN あそべる MV feat. ヤバイTシャツ屋さん『PAC-MANISM』. This innovative project merges the realms of gaming and music into the first-ever playable music video in PAC-MAN's history.
A New Frontier in Entertainment
PAC-MANISM invites fans to immerse themselves in the PAC-MAN universe while enjoying a catchy new song written specifically for this collaboration. Unlike traditional music videos, this experience allows viewers to play the game alongside the music, creating an engaging interplay between gameplay and storytelling. As gamers navigate mazes filled with ghosts, they’ll collect special items and craft their own narrative, drawing parallels between the game’s challenges and life's hurdles.
An Immersive Gameplay Experience
The playable music video features custom-designed mazes created in collaboration with Yabai T-shirt Yasan. Inside these mazes, players will find not only the classic PAC-MAN elements but also instruments associated with the band, adding a fun layer to the gameplay. Collecting these items aims to rack up high scores while enjoying the vibrant visuals and catchy beats inspired by PAC-MAN's legacy.
Exciting Promotional Campaign

PAC-MANISM, Bandai Namco is running a promotional campaign on social media.

About the New Song
Yabai T-shirt Yasan has penned the song
PAC-MANISM as a tribute to the golden years of gaming.
