@@derpedfox it's yakuza game. Just focus on detective side. I mean even yakuza kinda murder solving game. Both game are similar, more like compare green apple to red apple. Npc using same model and animation, have same map, you fight with multiple fighting style and both game you fight some random encounter. Judgement you also have to defend Tojo clan member
Kiryu is one of the deepest stoic characters I've had the great joy to experience. There are so many aspects to his personality and somehow none of them feel out of place.
The karaoke really adds to the personality of Kiryu. The main character represents the paragon of good characters, and the karaoke really adds substance to Kiryu's character as whole living in a society, where we can relate to him
if not for karaoke i probably would've never gotten into the series, and im sure thats true for a lot of people. it's great that it ended up getting added
It's crazy to imagine yakuza without kareoke
It called judgment. It's good but will never as good as yakuza
@@kentacohbpencils809because it's not Yakuza, Apple to Orange type of comparison, at least story wise

that's just og yakuza 1, 2 and both judgements lmao even kurohyou and ishin have karaoke
For real, I was bummed when I played Lost Judgement for the first time and there wasn't any karaoke
Kiryu getting absolutely devastated after losing a game of pocket circuit is by far the best kiryu has been more expressive
Kiryu's face looked like someone ran over a puppy when he loses at pocket circuit
Imagine your singing is so good it singlehandedly convinced the studio to add Karaoke

and make this Uncle Kaz more lovable.
Horii-San: here you have Takaya Kuroda singing
Nagoshi: Thats rad
Luckily Takaya Kuroda was such a great singer and was able to bring Kiryu Karaoke to life 😭
Without him doing the recordings, memes like the dame dane wouldnt have been born
This decision changed the entire direction of the series from a crime drama about yakuza to an over the top wacky crime drama about Yakuza
its also great that the English VA for it also sang so terribly that it made meme status which ended up helping its sales lol
He's wasn't that bad on other songs just not Judgement and not machine gun kiss. Pride from despair was so so
Honestly some of the singing was actually pretty decent but got ruined by excessive auto tune
Not to mention we also were kinda hoping Kiryu was more then “brick wall that fights”
Takaya is legit a good singer. I wish he had more music, but i suppose he spent a lot of time with the Yakuza games!
I'm pretty sure he's in a band.
@@yapflipthegrunt4687yup, he is. I forgot the band name though lol.
Takaya Kuroda and Goodfellas is his band iirc
His va is in a game where he raps! Its called hypnosis microphone
@@window_waters4759i was just abt to mention this LOL
Shout out to hori san and takaya kuroda. Imagine an alternate timeline where yakuza games don't have karaoke
Good! We would’ve have gotten such amazing songs like Baka Mitai, Judgment, & Honolulu City Lights if karaoke wasn’t included.
The karaoke really adds to the personality of Kiryu. The main character represents the paragon of good characters, and the karaoke really adds substance to Kiryu's character as whole living in a society, where we can relate to him
Karaoke was best thing to happen for Yakuza
So it's all thanks to Kiryu that we have Friday Night memes
Thank you, uncle Kaz
SHOWER KIRYU!!!!
kiryu’s va is already a singer so it would be such a missed opportunity if they scrapped the idea
JAN JAN JA JA JA JA
Shoutout to Horii-san.
I think it was more so Nagoshi who was against it, NOT Yokoyama
It helps that Kuroda-san has a fantastic voice. 😀
anyone who thinks kiryu is just a brick wall has absolutely no media literacy
I can't Imagine Yakuza without the iconic Baka Mitai~
Even strict or stoic people have the right to goof off!
And frankly where would Yakuza be today if not for the karaoke? We came for the memes, but stayed for the dreams 💚💚💚
if not for karaoke i probably would've never gotten into the series, and im sure thats true for a lot of people. it's great that it ended up getting added
baka mitai is the sole reason i bought yakuza. i knew nothing else about the game besides the karaoke songs. without it i never woulda played 😨
Fucking love Kiryu's interjections
Its su goated my favourite feature
and not a single game didn't have hits
Goddamn click bait
Aside from being a brick wall who punches people
Yeah like how many people see Part 3 Jotaro lol
Taghaya Ghuroda? Did you choke while recording that line?
What is that accent lmao
I cant stand karaoke. Why should i listen to people who sound horrible but in this games its fun as hell.
