Today on 'I can't understand what you're saying so it has to be bad.'
Good job Kotaku. Good job.

Kotaku absolutely off their shits on this one

The spoken part is not in the lyrics
But yeah, since we don't know what she's saying, it could be literally anything. Kotaku is kinda reaching here, they should have asked before running an article.
Gonna have to look into this. Persona lyrics are hard to understand sometimes.
I literally thought "I'm a shapeshifter" was actually "I'm a chef, chef, too"
...
Don't look at me like that

I was going to say how unfortunate this was but, yeah, this seems like TLK's "SFX dust" again :/
Yeah, all these people acting like it's a complete reach are out of their mind but it certainly isn't clear enough to write a damn article about
This would be worth getting upset about if the game had a slur in it
As it stands the author of the article misheard the song and decided to publish an article about how offended they are.

Ridiculous article.
This song is in Persona 5, why is this (likely incorrect article) just coming up now?

yeah this is pretty unprofessional move, to report on what they think they're hearing.
Lol no real judgment from me. There was a ton in that song that I misheard until I saw watched a version of the video with lyrics.
Is the spoken section in the song being quoted actually in those lyrics? Because aside from that word I don't think the rest of the transcription is wrong and literally none of it shows up there.
So, what
I don't know that this is what they're actually saying, but you have to admit that the Persona series has a penchant for edgelordery.
I really sounds like it says 'retarded' but it's really hard to hear what it really says. I think Kotaku should have waited from an answer from Nintendo/Deep Silver on this one.
It's not the same song. The original version does not have the spoken section the article mentions:
Shit like this is why I prefer my video game music not have lyrics in it. If I mishear a lyric once it gets stuck in my head like a drillbit and I can never, ever unhear it.
Like how the Persona 3 dorms music is just Bitter Dance from Star Ocean 3 almost exactly, down to the same terrible rap lyrics. And you hear it over and over and over and over and over again for the entire game stop it please.

Don't worry. My wife and I listened to it numerous times, could also only hear it as "I'm a chef, chef too" and had no idea what it actually was till she looked up the lyrics.
Considering that Nintendo went out of their way to remove a swear word from another Persona song ("damn" in Mass Destruction, which was also spoken and not sung), it's extremely unlikely that what is being reported on here is actually being said.
The singer isn't a native english speaker, she's Japanese, and when you listen to the song plenty of words carry an accent, some heavier than others. Also music gets screened in Smash, as no song has any curse words in them. I'm going to say this is a case of misheard lyrics.
