Synopsis

During the summer after the events of Persona 4 Golden, famous idol Rise Kujikawa is set to make her comeback at the Love Meets Bonds Festival, and her friends are training to be her backup dancers. When the members of idol group Kanamin Kitchen go missing, the Investigation Team gets involved in another supernatural case. They are taken to the Midnight Stage, a place similar to the TV World where a mysterious voice tells them no one can hurt others or be hurt themselves. Finding themselves surrounded by brainwashed Shadows and unable to use their Personas, they use dance to express themselves and free the members of Kanamin Kitchen from the control of the Midnight Stage.
