A popular song from Persona 3<\/strong> <\/em>has found its way into the limelight for a peculiar reason. Fans are cracking up due to a one-letter typo in the name of an arrangement of the game\u2019s signature song. The Persona 3<\/em> community has spent the New Year\u2019s holidays laughing away their stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


It all began when several soundtracks from the Persona <\/em>series were added to international music distribution services over the New Year\u2019s holidays. Japanese Spotify users have been enjoying musical gems from Persona 3, Persona 4, <\/em>and Persona 5<\/em> for quite some time now, and overseas fans rejoiced to hear that the tracks would finally be made available to Spotify and Apple Music users in North America and Europe as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans were even more delighted to hear that the streaming lineup would include music from the spinoff Persona Q <\/em>games, as well as the Persona 2 <\/em>soundtrack collection and various soundtrack remixes and live performance CDs. In the midst of all this, native English-speaking users noticed something had gone wrong with one of the song titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song in question was \u201cBurn My Dread -Last Battle-\u201d. It\u2019s a popular song from the soundtrack that remixes the opening theme, \u201cBurn My Dread\u201d. It plays as background music during a pivotal scene in-game, and the powerful vocals of Yumi Kawamura and hard-hitting rapping of Lotus Juice combine with the in-game dramatics to give players a jolt of adrenaline. It\u2019s one of the most popular and beloved songs in all of Persona 3.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, on Spotify and Apple Music, the title of this famous song had become \u201cBurn My Bread -Last Battle-\u201d. The word \u201cDread\u201d had turned into \u201cBread\u201d. The phrase \u201cburn my dread\u201d ties in with the theme of facing down your fears that recurs throughout the game, such as when characters summon their Personas by firing a tool that resembles a gun at their own heads. However, the typo turns this phrase into \u201cburn my bread\u201d, a bizarre non-sequitur which conjures up mental images of the protagonists trying to bake bread in the middle of the final battle. The surreal phrase seems to have sparked a lot of online mirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
