I dunno why, but all PS discs have these circles, if you look at them closely enough... all of my PS games were bought new, and they all have them...

I have some like that too, I've actually seen it on one or two PS2 blue bottom CDs.
I think the circles are simply the "imprint" (poor word choice) of the disc making machines that move the CDs from one side of the print shop to the other. I have one or two where it's not around the edge like that, but more in the center, all perfect, all minty new discs.
In other words, consider them a birth mark and nothing more. You discs are fine.
I've seen them in the past on certain games but don't remember which. I came across this on Hoshigami today and noticed they only show up under light at certain angles. Its odd that the other person mentioned another Atlus game, Tactics Ogre, so maybe this is an Atlus thing...maybe the factory they use? I have another copy of Hoshigami without the orbs that has a darker label print, although I don't see any obvious signs its possible a professional grade resurfacer was used on the second copy which maybe removed them, or this could be a later print where they fixed it.
I managed to get pictures. The pattern on this disc is 2 orbs, 1 orb, repeat perfectly evenly around the entire disc
