Story

The summer after the solving the Yasoinaba case, Rise returned to the city to continue her idol career. But at the time she arrived, a strange urban legend was catching on in the city. At midnight, when you open a certain website, a strange video will play. Those who view the video are taken to “The Other Side,” never to awaken again. With this, the main characters are taken away to that world and discover it is called the “Mayonaka Stage,” and that the junior idol group members at Rise’s office “Kanamin Kitchen” are being held captive there. “We can’t just let this be! We’ve got to help!” Persona 4 protagonist Yu Narukami puts out an SOS to his Investigation Team allies. Together, you’ll invade the Mayonaka Stage and rescue the junior idols.

• Protagonist (Yu Narukami) (voiced by Daisuke Namikawa) – The protagonist of Persona 4. After solving the incident in Yasoinaba, he returned to the city and continued his everyday life. He returns to the same city that Rise returns to resume her idol work, and reunites with her when she asks for help. Meanwhile, another incident occurs and the Investigation Team is once again tasked with solving it.
• Kanami Mashita (voiced by Minako Kotobuki) – She goes by the nickname Kanamin, and is one of Rise’s junior idols. As a little sister idol she has many fans and is well loved. Members of her unit, Kanamin Kitchen, go missing in the Mayonaka Stage.

Funky Student isn’t funky enough to bust a move with Rise and the rest of the Persona 4 crew in Persona 4: Dancing All Night for the PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system. The summer following the events in Persona 4 sees Rise return to Inaba after spending the summer back in her old life as an idol. After hearing rumors about the Midnight Stage, she checks a certain website at midnight and sees a mysterious movie clip and, you guessed it, winds up on the “other side.” Worse yet, she finds out her junior idol peers from the group Kanamin Kitchen are missing as well. She has no choice but to send an SOS to the Investigation Team to help rescue the missing idols.

Not even Riddle-senpai could have seen this twist coming: Normal battle tactics don’t work against the Shadows on the Midnight Stage, but dancing does! Rise, the Protagonist, and the rest of the Investigation Team will have to dance their way to victory. 30 pulse-thumping tracks make up the new Persona Sound in this rhythm-based action game. P4DAN is made in collaboration with Dingo Inc., the company behind Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA (PlayStation Portable).

TL;DR:
Kazuhisa Wada (Persona 4 Arena director) is taking over the project.
Development has shifted from being a collaboration between Dingo/Atlus to Atlus' Persona team taking point and Dingo assisting.
Changes were made due to worries about quality. Game has been pushed back (announced at TGS).

Changes were made due to worries about quality.

Oh man I wish I could be the fly on the wall right now and see what exactly.

[Correction]

Dingo, the team that was also booted off the Hatsune Miku franchise and was behind a poorly-reviewed Love Live! game on Vita.

Yeah it's plausible that quality issues were also plaguing Dancing All Night.

Theme Song - "Dance!"

Got me something true now
I’m not looking anymore
The times of fakin’ love are through now
Sharing real connections
What we’re made for

Come on, let go of the remote
Don’t you know
You’re letting all the junk food in?

I try to stop the flow,
Double-clicking on the go,
But it’s no use hey,
I’m being consumed

and

I went with the flow,
double trouble on the go
posers kept posing
I’m opposing against these foes

Please know,
I’m the rose that grew out
from the concrete jungle

Not a day goes by without me thinking ’bout
The way the world stopped mid-motion
When you walked into my life and we connected
Like we shared the same mad potion
Couldn’t help but move
The threads of fate had spun us
Into each other’s lives by chance
All this energy’s got us inspired now,
We couldn’t stop it, just set it free, and
Dance!

We got something strong now
We’re not hiding anymore
The times of phony love are gone now
Only special friends come in through our door

Live a real life
Don’t be possessed by whoever
No time to waste
Keep on moving
Whether on or off the beat
It don’t matter
If you never give up
Like keeps on grooving
Embrace a heartbeat and
Step to it step to it
Connect with it hold it tight
Spider web to it
Told you once
Ain’t nobody can hold me down

Not a day goes by without me feeling thankful
‘Bout our profound devotion
Since you walked into my life
And all around me
Everything just stopped mid-motion
Like a high wire act,
No compromise with truth,
The radiant intensity we share
All this energy’s got us inspired now
Wanna dance
Wanna share this magic bond
Like we shared the same made potion
When you walked into my life and we connected
Like we shared a magic dance

Straight away
Going my way
Let the nonchalant be commandant to themselves
But we are taking over
Making over
The lame shame claim they make,
Game’s over
Is it a spell or magic?
Imagine what happens
Different age, different passion
What I’m asking
I can’t call it,
If I ain’t go my crew, I won’t be dancing

So baby
Go for it
Feel the vibe

Gonna touch down, make this dive
It keeps me alive
The melody, the flow, the beat, the heart
Together we ride

All this energy’s got us inspired now,
We couldn’t stop it,
Just set it free, and
Dance!

Seriously, why stop at fighting games or dancing games?
