Polygon Pictures. Music The music was composed by Ayako Toyoda. Unlike the first two games, there was no music created for the haunted location, instead using ambient and environmental sounds. Music was mostly reserved for the real world locations, though it remained dark and unsettling. One piece of music used in the Manor of Sleep was a lullaby performed by child actress Miyū Tsuzurahara, who also voiced the child ghosts. The theme song "Voice" was written and performed by Japanese singer Tsuki Amano, who had previously sung the vocal theme for Crimson Butterfly. Shibata decided from the outset to bring Amano back, having used her album Meg & Lion as background music while writing, though other singers were considered. Shibata wanted a song that would fit the game's ending, describing it as an amalgamation of Amano's work up to that point. Amano had started creating the song under the name "Tattoo" before being contacted, and during the writing process altered the song to better fit the game and renamed it "Voice". She based the song around moving on from grief, with a close friend having lost her fiancee in real life. There was a slight mismatch between the lyrics focusing on moving on and Shibata's wish for a song about remembrance, which caused friction between Amano and Shibata that Kikuchi needed to resolve. Release Fatal Frame III was announced in Japan in March 2005 in an issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu, then under the title Zero: Rei. At this time, it was said to be 60% complete. The game was released in Japan under the title Zero: Shisei no Koe on July 28, 2005. Kikuchi chose a summer release to coincide with Japan's traditional ghost story season. As with other entries, the game was not numbered in Japan. Beginning in May, a pre-order bonus campaign offered a DVD containing summaries of the first two Fatal Frame titles. Two guidebooks were published for the game by Enterbrain that same year; the first on July 28, and the second on October 7 which included behind-the-scenes material on the story and characters. "Voice" was released both as a single, and as part of Amano's album A Moon Child In The Sky on September 21, 2005 by Pony Canyon. Tecmo published the game in North America as Fatal Frame III: The Tormented on November 8, 2005. In Europe, the game was published by Take-Two
