"Cinematic Tale" is a song from Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. It is composed by Atsushi Kitajoh, and is a quartet performed by Yumi Kawamura, Shihoko Hirata, Lyn Inaizumi, and Mayumi Fujita.
This song plays inside the Cinema, the main hub of the game, after unlocking the Velvet Room and before completing the fourth movie. This song also has three variations that play depending on how much of the cast you have. The Solo version starts playing when the Phantom Thieves of Hearts first arrive in the Cinema. The Duo version plays when the Investigation Team arrive in the Cinema. The full version of the song plays when SEES arrive in the Cinema.
If the party clears all four movies, this will no longer play in the Cinema lobby and will be replaced by the instrumental song "Hero and Heroine."

Looking back on it now
You were mysterious right from the start
Something sets you apart
Wearing a persona
Those eyes don't seem to show or tell
Hiding yourself
Though it hasn't been long
Why do I sense there's something on your mind
What is it you can't find
Let us reach out to you
A sign draws my eye and sparks a thought
Let's take a shot
Here goes —
Say darlin'
Hey maybe
Fancy a movie night with us?
We can take you up higher
Anywhere you desire
Live your life
Day by day
Before it all gets taken away
When you're feeling blue
We're here for you

Looking back on it now
You were mysterious right from the start
Something sets you apart
Wearing a persona
Those eyes don't seem to show or tell
Hiding yourself
Though it hasn't been long
Why do I sense there's something on your mind
What is it you can't find?
Let us reach out to you
A sign draws my eye and sparks a thought
Let's take a shot
Here goes —
Say darlin'
Hey maybe
Fancy a movie night with us
We can take you up higher
Anywhere you desire
Live your life
Day by day
Before it all gets taken away
When you're feeling blue
We're here for you

Who calls my name?
Resonating afar
Voices I know
I can't make out the words
Looking back on it now
You were mysterious right from the start
Something sets you apart
Wearing a persona
Those eyes don't seem to show or tell
Hiding yourself
Though it hasn't been long
Why do I sense there's something on your mind
What is it you can't find?
Let us reach out to you
A sign draws my eye and sparks a thought
Let's take a shot
Here goes —
Say darlin'
Hey maybe
Fancy a movie night with us?
Why do you care so much for me?
We can take you up higher
Anywhere you desire
Live your life
Day by day
Before it all gets taken away
Leaning towards taking your hand
When you're feeling blue
We're here for you
Wondering why
Your words break into me
Hesitating
I don't know how to react
This is not a cruisy game
The longer it takes the harder we'll try
I think you know why
Let's go step by step
Just leave it up to us, we'll bring you 'round
It's all deep down
Follow what you hear inside
Reveal all the colours you possess
Wanna see your real best
Leave any fret behind
We've got some discovering to do
A brand new you
Take two —
Say darlin'
Hey maybe
Fancy a movie night with us?
Why do you care so much for me?
We can take you up higher
Anywhere you desire
Live your life
Day by day
Before it all gets taken away
Leaning towards taking your hand
When you're feeling blue
We're here for you
Soon enough
(Soon enough)
You'll move on
(You'll move on)
Don't worry about all the things that could go wrong
Always by your side
No longer alone
So you never have to cry
Everything can only get better!
Last chance —
Say darlin'
Hey maybe
Fancy a movie night with us?
Why do you care so much for me?
We can take you up higher
Anywhere you desire
Live your life
Day by day
Before it all gets taken away
Leaning towards taking your hand
When you're feeling blue
We're here for you
Colorful days
Is this how it should be?
I never knew
I could get used to this
