To start Ayane Matsunaga’s Sun Social Link in Persona 4 Golden, join the Music Club on April 25 and choose “Help out.” The Drama Club starts Yumi Ozawa’s separate Sun route instead. Ayane’s listed club days are Monday, Tuesday, and Friday; guides disagree about whether she is available in the rain, so check the in-game calendar and location before planning around a rainy day.
How to start Ayane’s Sun Social Link
- On April 25, join the Music Club. Choosing the Drama Club selects Yumi Ozawa instead; the characters have distinct Sun Social Link stories and dialogue. The official Persona 4 Golden site describes Social Links as relationships players choose to develop.
- When the club scene with Ayane begins, choose “Help out.” This starts her route.
This guide is for Ayane’s branch in Persona 4 Golden, including the PC/Steam version. The official site lists Windows and Steam among the game’s platforms.

When and where to meet Ayane
A Steam Community route guide places Ayane in the Learning Building, second floor, for club activities, and lists Monday, Tuesday, and Friday as her regular follow-up days. RPG Site also lists those weekdays, but says she cannot be met in the rain; the Steam guide says her link can advance in rain. Because the guides conflict on rain availability, treat rainy-day access as uncertain and check the in-game calendar and location rather than relying on either claim.
These weekday listings are route guidance, not a guaranteed schedule for completing every Social Link by a particular date. Route details and dialogue below are drawn from the Steam Community guide; its author does not provide a formal testing method. RPG Site’s schedule reference was published June 12, 2020: RPG Site’s Ayane guide.

Ayane’s rank-by-rank answer guide
Choose the response that matches your current social stats when a choice is gated. Wording may vary slightly in presentation, so use the intent of the option shown in your game.

Rank #2
Starting scene: Rank 0–1
- Join the Music Club, then select “Help out.”
Rank 1–2
- If your Understanding meets the requirement, the guide recommends “You do have talent.” Otherwise, choose “Effort is what matters.”
- For the follow-up, choose “Help out.”
Rank 2–3
- Choose “Forget about it today.”
- Then choose “That’s a great attitude.”
Rank 3–4
- The guide lists Courage as a requirement for “Why don’t you give up?”
- For the next response options, it lists either Understanding or Courage as the relevant requirement.
- For “No, you’re not,” the listed requirement is Understanding; “Just hang in there” is the fallback.
Rank 4–5
- Choose “It’s okay to mess up” if you meet the Understanding requirement; otherwise, choose “Don’t worry, you can do it.”
Rank 5–6
- The guide says the choices do not matter.
Rank 6–7
- Choose “Hold her.”
Rank 7–8: choose friendship or romance
- To start the romance route, choose “Reveal your feelings for her.”
- To stay on the friends route, do not make that declaration.
Rank 8–9
- On the friends route, the guide lists no special choice.
- On the lovers route, choose “Wanna come to my house?” if your Courage is sufficient. Otherwise, use “Wanna go grab some food?”
Rank 10
- The guide says the choices do not matter on either listed route.
How to avoid wasting time on the route
- Decide on April 25 whether you want Ayane’s Music Club branch or Yumi’s Drama Club branch; joining one does not provide the other character’s dialogue.
- Check the in-game calendar and Ayane’s location on a rainy day, since the two guides disagree about rain availability.
- Bring a Sun Arcana Persona when you spend time with Ayane if you want the extra Social Link points reported by the Steam guide.
- Pay attention to Understanding and Courage gates in the early rank scenes; use the stated fallback where one is provided.
- Choose your preferred relationship path at Rank 7–8. Romance is optional, and the friends route remains available if you avoid the confession choice.
