Singer Yumi Kawamura and rapper Lotus Juice will perform the film's main theme song, "Light in Starless Sky." The song will be included on a CD in a special pre-reserved ticket and CD bundle that is available on the Persona 3 goods website, Jika Net Tanaka. The set (photo of cover seen below) will also be sold at the PERSONA SUPER LIVE 2015 ~ in Nihon Budokan -NIGHT OF THE PHANTOM- event in February.


The website lists the story:

"I kind of understand now... You're afraid of losing things, right?"

The season turns to autumn. The fight of the protagonist and his group S.E.E.S. with the strange monsters Shadows is getting closer to an end. Makoto and his allies engage in life-or-death battles with Shadows in order to end the Dark Hour. Through the battles, some must face the deaths of friends and family, some must notice what precious things must be protected, and some must find meaning in the battles that have occured.

In front of Makoto, the mysterious transfer student Ryōji Mochizuki appears. When the group greets a new morning, the gears of fate begin to turn. A fight revolving around each of the heroes' bonds begins...



The third film was announced at the end of the second film last summer, with a message reading, "comming soon" in misspelled English.
