Persona Q 3DS Game's Ken, Naoto Character Videos Streamed

Japanese video game publisher Atlus began streaming character introduction videos for Persona 3's Ken Amada and Persona 4's Naoto Shirogane for its upcoming Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Nintendo 3DS game on Thursday:

Ken: I'm Ken Amada. I'm a 5th grader in the lower school division of Gekkōkan Academy.
Ken: There's something that I need to do. From time to time, I start to not know if that thing I need to do is really the meaning to my life.
Ken: You look exactly like the bad guys in the sentai hero show I'm watching now, and...
Kanji: Roar.
Ken: Ah!
Ken: You can't ignore this kind of power harassment, right, Kirijo-senpai!?
Ken: Why do you jab at everything people say?
Ken: If I were born again... There's someone I'd want to talk to. I didn't think up until know I would, but...
Ken: I'm everyone's comrade... Let's go. When we get home, there's a party waiting for us!
Ken: All right! Here I go! I'm going to do it! So here I go! Here we go, Nemesis!
Ken: I'm here, and so is everyone else. That's why I'll fight!

Naoto: Please look! Outside the window! In the middle of the campus... There's a clock tower...? I wonder what this means...
Naoto: This isn't the inside of the TV, and this isn't the “Tartarus” you all speak of. Let's search for an exit from here.
Naoto: You really ARE a real robot! What amazing technology! How were you made!?
Naoto: Supernatural encounters are completely unscientific and illogical!
Naoto: When I'm with you all, I can always begin to see a new side of myself... And I don't hate that new me.
Naoto: It's not what's “meaningless” or what's “meaningful”... I want a reason for me to be here.
Naoto: From here on out, I want to change, little by little.
Naoto: Now is our chance! Shooting is something done with calculation! Sukuna-Hikona!
Naoto: Because the people precious to me are doing their best, I believe that I can do my best as well. I think that no one truly can live alone.

The game will ship in Japan on June 5. People who pre-order the game will receive the Persona Q: Sound of the Labyrinth original soundtrack. The CD will feature the new music from the game, in special re-arrangements by the Atlus sound team that can only be heard on this CD.

There will also be a Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth Famitsu DX Pack with the game itself, a B2-size tapestry illustrated by the Persona Q anime staff, an A3-size clear poster illustrated by Atlus, a set of five different visual clear file folders, an original mug cup, and a Graphig paper figure of Rei.
