I cried when you were reading it because it sounds like something my boyfriend would do for me... he’s been so sweet to me even though he been so much undeserved hell and I’m glad I accepted his confession or else... he could possibly end up in a horrible state, even worse then Majima’s state honestly.

Since we're already on the topic of cabaret clubs, allow me to talk about the stuff that didn't make the cut from OG 2 when making Kiwami 2. In Y2 you could play a minigame inside Club Adam. Except the difference is that Kiryu wasn't a manager of cabaret club, no, he was a HOST. Yup, Kiryu in OG 2 could work for a cabaret club for ladies, where you needed to choose specific responses in order to level up your affection with the clientele (in your case 4 ladies that you switch between). You could screw yourself over easily though, as in order to progress you needed to have a good night with the lady, so if you got some answers wrong, you might've lose and then you'd have to do it all over again. It's kinda a shame it's gone, but hey, at least we got this minigame.
That's actually great. Even more so because those three yakuza who played Yakuza 3 back when it came out all said they hated Kiryu's shirt because it made him look like a host. Turns out they were more accurate than either they or I realized...
Boo~ How dare they deprive us of Host Club Kiryu.😠 I bet Kazuki and Yuya would be impressed. Maybe there should be a spin-off game where the guys in the Yakuza series are hosts in your Yakuza Style Host Club, and you play an OOC female manager. 😁
Kiryu: "I had a chicken once" Yuki: "You calling me a CHICKEN?!" Kiryu: "No, No i literally won him at a bowling alley, i called him Nugget." Koyuki: "Really?" Kiryu: "He ran my real estate business and made millions!" Yuki: "Your lying..." Kiryu: "No i’m serious, he texted me the other day. He just bought Sega" Kana: "Yeah right..." Kiryu: "He struggling right now because he trying to get Sega to stop sonic the hedgehog (2006) and instead make a sonic rush two but they are not having it. Hes worried his stock shares are going to drop because of it" Kana: "YOUR KILLING ME KIRYU HAHAHA!" Kiryu: "... DAME DA NE AME YO DAME NA NO YO! Yuki: "... Kiryu?" Koyuki: "I think we broke him..." Kiryu: "BAKA MITAI!"
I swear I would die out of laughter if kaoru would join the hostesses, I know that would never happen, but it would be so hilarious. seriously, she should be part of more of the side stuff
Nico, I know lots of people have already said similar things, but well. I just want to tell it too. It is funny, how your videos has become part of my daily routine, it is not always I get to watch them as you upload them as I am from Denmark and thusly they usually come out for me at 11PM or even later. How-ever, your videos has become something I am always looking forward to. I am a relatively new picky penguin, I started watching when you played Persona 5. Since then I pretty much binged your channel, and it has given me so many smiles. It is something I have truly needed, I was through a pretty bad spot with a neighbor in the apartment building whom was an alcoholic and would scream and shout at me for doing ordinary things doing day hours while she would shout and sing doing the night so I couldn't sleep. Then though I had your videos, I could plug in some head phones and well, just enjoy the sillyness. You never talk politics or try to make big statements, it is just about the laughter and pure wonder and enjoyment of these games. Your pure enthusiasm for what you play just shines through and makes me smile in return. Thankfully I finally got to move, I just moved into my new place three weeks ago and is doing much better, finally getting prober night sleep and my anxiety is going down again, now that I wont have to worry about being verbally assaulted all the time. Which also means I am not watching your videos when they are newly released anymore, because I am sleeping. But, when I wake up, I get a cup of coffee and watch your videos. Your videos introduced me to Yakuza and I love this franchise now! Xenoblade Chronicles already were one of my favorite games of all time and seeing someone else enjoying something I enjoyed is amazing, I am so glad you liked it. Your pure enthusiasm for this game I like so much, it makes me smile, every time. I am looking forward to see you play Zelda Majoras Mask soon. I love many aspects of the game in regards to tone and design. Though other aspects are a bitch and I am looking forward to see how you deal with them. All my love from Denmark. A hot Danish girl. XXX
Sweet! I never had P.F. Changs before! in fact I don't even know what it is, so that became an extra joke for me in that earthbound playthrough... mystery food. Oh well, I will bring you guys some smørrebrød then, then we all get to try something new XD
@@junichiroyamashita Of course I have. It is years ago though, and yeah i've seen the little mermaid and everything. I also been to the birth city of Hans Christian Anderson, multiple times. Seen the big re-constructions of the viking long boats, we have a couple of Viking city reconstructions around the place, i've been to some. Our historical museums, Kronborg castle! I've been to Kronborg castle, the place Hamlet is haunting. For such a itsy bitsy country, Denmark has a lot of culture and history. Probably helps we are such an OLD country too. We got artefacts all the way back from the stone age. Followed by the bronze age and iron age, then viking age, mideveil time, renneacance. I love my country.
I’m gonna keep saying this, but once you get a dark blue dress hostess, go and sing with her with the song “ring”. Also the second hostess in the party league aika is who you can see the glory of “Like a Butterfly” cutscene. (Note that you have to complete their substories if you want to sing with them except the dark blue dress I mentioned earlier which unlocks for her instantly once you get her)
Kiryu turning on the charm this episode. You are correct. Yakuza 0 was when Makoto first appeared, and Majima's karaoke in this is new as well. lol, yes, some of the profit from the club has to go back into business. I mean, Yuki expects to get paid too, you know. As for the hostesses, Maeda was regularly MVP. I tend to avoid giving presents during both Ranked and Club Battles. It definitely cuts into profits. In the Club battles now, you face clubs from all around Japan instead of Osaka. So Hiroshima Sweet Goddess is from Hiroshima, of course. That minigame where Kiryu sits with Yuki, Koyuki and Kana in the restaurant, that's a more prevalent minigame in 6. Probably one of my favourites too, because you do it with different characters and get to know them more and more. And the setting makes it cozy as hell. In 6 you had to fill up a gauge (the same way you do with hostesses), so you had to get the right answers to progress the story. If you do it right you get the final dialogue option that's just one Excellent Choice. And yes, Kiryu is younger than Yuki. Yuki was 21 in Yakuza 0. Kiryu was 20. Also Ono-Michiko's head is an orange. You'll hear all about that charming hassaku face in another game.
Imagine if Kiryu was real and had a penchant for destroying things by walking into them like Nico was controlling him. There would be sections on the news that let people know where he is so that they can put their stuff inside. The Kiryu Watch section would be quite popular for more than one reason I bet. "Currently Kiryu-chan will be teaching children how to Tiger Drop bullies over at Theater Square, so we advise not going that way with your bikes unless you want them to suffer a painful death." ... And now Majima is a news anchor.
Have to admit, there's something odd about seeing Kiryu straight up flirt with the girls. Maybe because he's normally so restrained? Goodness even Majima could behave himself :P Also where's my golden Kiryu statue intro at? Or the Nishiki karaoke one?
In honor of today's cabaret club episode, today we shall have NIGHTLIFE FACTS! While we all know what hostess clubs/cabaret clubs are by now, I'll give it a quick rundown real quick. It's a club where you essentially sit down, drink, and are entertained by a hostess, a girl who's job is basically to talk with and listen to you, light your cigarettes, sing karaoke, and essentially be on a mock date with you, all the while encouraging you to buy more drinks. In and of itself, it's a pretty distressing look at how bad personal life is in Japan, where you're essentially so overworked it gets hard to even be able to go on dates. HOWEVER, they actually, in a way, act as a modern version of a very old Japanese practice: geisha. Contrary to a relatively common misconception, geisha are not prostitutes. Rather, they serve a similar role to that of the modern hostess, entertaining clients through the ancient traditions of art, dancing, and singing. Girls receive a rather significant amount of training, and are taught how to do the important things, such as dancing, which is mostly a sort of highly controlled interpretive dance descended from the dance of kabuki and noh plays; as well playing traditional Japanese music, namely on the shamisen, taiko drum, ko-tsuzumi drum, and flute. Some geisha not only played music, but also wrote poems, composed music, or painted. Geisha, of course, still exist, though the profession has declined for various reasons, but they can still be found in the areas around their establishments, known as "okiya," and are still educated in traditional instruments; as well as taught various games, traditional songs and dances, calligraphy, tea ceremony, literature, and poetry. They are also often hired for parties and gatherings (I would imagine mostly by highly rich people) at traditional restaurants and tea houses. Thems the bare bones, and I'd encourage to give the Wikipedia article a read. I did once in school when we supposed to study, and I was bored as hell, and that's where I learned pretty much all of this. Anyhow, thanks for the read, and hopefully I'll have more facts for you on the next episode!
Yeah there's a great documentary called The Great Happiness Space that I'm unsure if it's still on Netflix that shows what it's like to be a host/hostess. You'll never see Yuta the same way again.
Don't you just wish Kiryu could be an optional Cabaret Hostess? Or even better, Majima! I'd definitely ask for them at a club. We could talk all night, drink till we drop, then pay extra for them to escort me home and curb stomp some thugs while we're at it. The perfect night...
54:22 you know I feel like Nico is the smartest most proficient lets player ever, I know this is a small part to be prompting me to say this but, I've never seen an LPer catch on to stuff so fast, like want to say something during a cutscene? Just pause and it's not just silence from the player until the cutscene is over.
No. What she ask for in Yakuza 0 was vinegar during when Majima was scouting club Mercury. Soy sauce is from the cross word side quest Majima did in tha game. I’m going to guess the next intro picture. Is it Xenoblade Chronicle?
Just for your info, remember the red ghost lady tape story? A.k.a The ring parody tape? 1) There was suppose to be a scream during the videotape jumpscare but it was somewhat removed in Yakuza Kiwami 2. 2) Apparently in the original after you chase the lady, instead of negotiating with the medium, you fought some faceless black goons which turns out one of them is the medium who tries to scam you. Apparently you just get 100,000 yen from him instead of just getting the stone. 3) And yes... the tape is not broken in the original.
53:42 OBJECTION!!! And so ends, the tale of Kazuma Kiryu; ace attorney after causing many injuries to the judge, prosecutor, witness (Kiryu tiger drops and suplexed Larry butz into oblivion), bailiff komeda, by literally throwing evidence.
The Evil Genius I actually clicked on that one, doesn’t change anything. You will know if it changes the flow of the conversation when kiryu is currently speaking into a choice.
Just gotta say. I love how the comment section is half the experience in a Nico B video. Having been with this channel since the Persona 4 Golden LP, I have loved seeing how we have evolved to the picky penguins we are today. You are all great. Stay classy everyone.
If the baby fetish side story wasn't originally censored in Yakuza 2, then I'm legitimately worried for what could be considered worse than that to actually be censored in Yakuza 3.
It wasn't censored per say. The content in question was cut for an entirely different reason: Time constraints and localization was behind schedule. To speed things up so Yakuza 3 could go gold in the West,.they took out the less important stuff. Everything cut from 3 was not done with censorship in mind. So don't worry, it will not top grown men in diapers. But the side stories are still Kiryu's Bizarre Adventures.
Kiryu knows all the right buttons to push when he's teasing. As expected of the Daddy of Dragons. 😆 The way he was yanking Koyuki's chain around reminded me A LOT of Gintoki when he was helping out Kyoushiro's club. He's a natural charmer... As well as an idiot. 😂
There are a few great hostesses you get from sun stories, so I wouldn't try completing the entirety of the Cabaret Grand Prix, when you complete said sub stories the hostess that you get will appear next to the club, there are 3 hostesses in particular you get from separate sub stories. One of them is the Woman from the Orphanage, complete all her sub stories to get her as a hostess.
To bounce off of what this comment says, you might wanna to continue the story a little bit up til the story brings you back to Sotenbori. The orphanage headmistress is strictly kamurocho so she can be done quick while 3 potential hostesses can be achieved only in Sotenbori. One is achieved when doing two separate side-quest involving struggling musicians, another one is done through helping a woman find her sister, and the final one is achievable when the main story is progressed to the point where it is morning in Sotenbori so when that happens, go to the southern most point of Sotenbori.
55:12 That time when Yakuza wanted to be a Telltale game Koyuki : So how old are you Kana ? Kiryu : TENDER CLEVAGE !!!!! The girls all together : Aww Kiryu san !!! (The girls will remember this)
So I was watching Kamen Rider Den-O, and in episodes 13 and 14, the monster of the weeks was the Owl Imagin. Upon hearing it's voice, I was hit with a wave of deja vu, and sure enough, he shares Kiryu's voice actor, Takaya Kuroda. After looking him up to see if my suspicions were true, I can confirm the Takaya is one of the only voice actors in the world who looks as badass and over the top as the characters he plays. He seriously looks like he could the final boss of his own Yakuza game. Also, bonus fun fact of the day, Takaya plays Cranky and Diesel 10 in the Japanese dub of Thomas the Tank Engine (no, I am not shitting you, look it up) Also also, go watch Kamen Rider, it's a pretty good franchise, I would start with either Den-O, OOO, Ex-Aid, or Fourze, although any season is good starting off point.
I like how seke (both sub and dom) Kiryu is. He's like a beefcake of a dude, with a heart of bloody gold, fists of a dragon, the accidental humor of a tv sitcom, and STILL has to look down at the floor, pout, and beg Majima to do what he needs. Hell even Majima GIVES IN like the dom of the relationship. Naturally, both can take the roles, but Majima seems to be the best bet. Cuz we all know one thing about Majima that will never change: Hurt, sadden, or even TOUCH his Kiryu and you're DEAD Deader than Majima's sanity after Yakuza 0
You know, If you dont consider the fact that most of your costumers are guys that live such lonessome lives (for whatever reason) that they are willing to pay a girl to pretend to like them, runing a hostes club actualy sound's like one of the most fun alternatives of having your own business (and not only because of the pretty ladies)
Omg. kiryu voice just smear with coconut butter all over the my ear. Seriously that voice was so great! I am not kidding that I would want to have voice just smooth as kiryu
Kaoru: "What about me Kiryu-san?!?! I'm #1 waifu in this game and all you're doing is fooling around with side chicks! I'll curbstomp you if you don't cut the crap!"
Cabaret Club tip: There are a few girls (Koyuki being one of them) that get a perk called 'Escorted' as you level them up. That means they'll start the shift with a high-paying customer that will almost always extend their session. Lemme tell ya, it is a damn GODSEND, especially in the later leagues.
You know the cabaret club minigame is kinda like Pokemon. You gather a powerful group of individuals(Pokemon or Hostesses) to the defeat the masters of said craft.(Gym Leaders and Cabaret Club Bosses).
Is it bad that the thing I get the most excited for everytime a new Yakuza episode comes up is what crazy thing Nico put as the picture in the "And now back to..."
27:55 I imagine it like that one iCarly bit, where Spencer, at the literal last second, threw a trophy at Gibby's head that he was supposed to give to a contest winner.
You know... I never thought I would have one of those good laugh out loud while rolling on the floor moments Nico has and I accepted that... 56:31 Today... I'm reborn...
Got hand to Kiryu during those Talk times with the Hostess, he got some serious seductive skills over the years goddamit. Especially with that sexy voice of his, god how I love his Voice.
I just realized that yuki’s name mean snow in Japanese and she wore a snow-patterned dress in Yakuza 0 and now Koyuki is new snow and guess she wears...a new snow-patrerned dress
I think it would be so awesome if at the end of the cabaret side quest the leader of the rival clubs would call 150 thugs on them. Then Kiryu goes out to fight them like a boss, in the black tux, but after 50 the platinum hosts are like "Oh no Kiryu is going to lose!!" Then Yuki says "I got to call someone". Then after beating 25 more thugs Majima pops up, also wearing his black tux, and says "Kiryuuuuuuuu chan, let's kick some thug butt together, and then decimate the 75 remaining thugs with badass heat actions. Then after its all over Majima thanks Kiryu for helping Yuki before trying to leave, but being stopped by Yuki. After that you can then select to play as Majima during Caberet Club bouts.
1:12:19 Technically a lot of the hostesses do that same gesture when your running the club where they press the pads of their fingers together. I guess it gives a certain cute or hostess-like feeling that charms the customer to think something like, "She's so lady-like."
0:27 Kiryu: God I miss the simpler days...When I had four fighting styles...and stupid amounts of super amour. Majima: But mines was bett- Kiryu: LET ME HAVE THIS MOMENT! Nico can only come up with so many jokes.
Hey NicoB, are you also gonna play the Fist of the North Star spin-off of the series? It was also made by the guys who did the original Yakuza 0 engine. You'll see Daddy Kiryu as Kenshiro and other cast of the series as characters of the anime/manga.
Max level for hostesses is 30 and platinums is 40, just like in 0. Also just like 0 there are some hostesses you can get by completing substories, including two of the best ones in the game.
I want to know if Michiko’s mask is a reference to something or if she’s just an eccentric character. The fact that she came with one of the packs makes me think it’s a reference to something.
Kiryu: I had a chicken and his name was Nugget, he was the best chicken that could somehow handle business and now I don't where he went now. . .he was great buddy Nugget: *hangout out in the construction site doing work* Majima: How the fuck does this chicken have the strength of a God
I have some gameplay advice regarding hostesses and karaoke; once you finish one of the hostesses songs you can just exit out of the mini game, there's no need to keep doing Kiryu's songs over and over when you just want to do a hostess song and nothing will change from exiting the mini game the song's music video and record will be saved as long as you finished a hostess song and they will still say thanks for inviting them.
Imagine going to work and your boss essentially asks you to eat with them at a restaurant but forces a bunny costume into your hands and demands you change into it for the meal.
Koyuki: why are you looking down when talking to me, Kiryu-san? Kiryu: I swear i was only looking at the text line (Me watching the conversation at 42 mins)
Kiryu is the most bad ass dork in any game ever.
NicoB hard to argue that.
NicoB True
no denying that
3:35 Not gonna lie... I cried when you were reading it because it sounds like something my boyfriend would do for me... he’s been so sweet to me even though he been so much undeserved hell and I’m glad I accepted his confession or else... he could possibly end up in a horrible state, even worse then Majima’s state honestly.
Idk. Prosecutor Blackquil is pretty badass and dorky too........

Really? It was the last surprise I expected........

I would have been pissed if that wasn't the intro.

The fact I can envision Haruka and Majima being best friends and it working is what makes Yakuza special
If this isn't the comment of the day for the next episode then I'm gonna TENDER CLEAVAGE!
michael hall I agree this should be comment of the day
michael hall that would be cool
And kiryu's crimes keep adding up to Kaoru's list.
For a future Hostess conversation/Date, you must pick the option: "I was a Postcard professional." Trust me Nico, DO IT!!!! You wont regret it. If it helps identifying the date, it will involve Manga.
I love postcards!
DetectiveSpiritOfBobbyFulbrightGamer Must be good if Fulbright's recommending it :)
DetectiveSpiritOfBobbyFulbrightGamer what about I’m good at screen play? That’s another good reference
Kiryu: "I hope Nico will choose my postcard dialogue"
I gotta say, kiryu looks good in the tuxedo, butI still think Majima pulled it off even better.
I think it was Majima’s ponytail back then.
RIP in rest Nugget. He was the best manager at Kiryu's real estate agency. May he rest in peace in the big chicken coop in the sky.
He better have a brood of grandchicks and great-grandchicks who still run real estate somewhere in Tokyo.
**rest in peace in rest**
@Hal B. Noire His Popcorn chicks will do him proud.
@Scarlet Starr Yes.
I bet that those chickens killed in last chapters danganronpa are also there whit Nugget.

In Y2 you could play a minigame inside Club Adam. Except the difference is that Kiryu wasn't a manager of cabaret club, no, he was a HOST.
Yup, Kiryu in OG 2 could work for a cabaret club for ladies, where you needed to choose specific responses in order to level up your affection with the clientele (in your case 4 ladies that you switch between). You could screw yourself over easily though, as in order to progress you needed to have a good night with the lady, so if you got some answers wrong, you might've lose and then you'd have to do it all over again.
It's kinda a shame it's gone, but hey, at least we got this minigame.

You never talk politics or try to make big statements, it is just about the laughter and pure wonder and enjoyment of these games. Your pure enthusiasm for what you play just shines through and makes me smile in return.
Thankfully I finally got to move, I just moved into my new place three weeks ago and is doing much better, finally getting prober night sleep and my anxiety is going down again, now that I wont have to worry about being verbally assaulted all the time. Which also means I am not watching your videos when they are newly released anymore, because I am sleeping.
But, when I wake up, I get a cup of coffee and watch your videos. Your videos introduced me to Yakuza and I love this franchise now!
Xenoblade Chronicles already were one of my favorite games of all time and seeing someone else enjoying something I enjoyed is amazing, I am so glad you liked it. Your pure enthusiasm for this game I like so much, it makes me smile, every time.
I am looking forward to see you play Zelda Majoras Mask soon. I love many aspects of the game in regards to tone and design. Though other aspects are a bitch and I am looking forward to see how you deal with them.
All my love from Denmark.
A hot Danish girl. XXX
Sweet! I never had P.F. Changs before! in fact I don't even know what it is, so that became an extra joke for me in that earthbound playthrough... mystery food.
Oh well, I will bring you guys some smørrebrød then, then we all get to try something new XD
Danish? Have you ever visited the round tower of Copenhagen?
@@junichiroyamashita
Of course I have. It is years ago though, and yeah i've seen the little mermaid and everything.
I also been to the birth city of Hans Christian Anderson, multiple times.
Seen the big re-constructions of the viking long boats, we have a couple of Viking city reconstructions around the place, i've been to some. Our historical museums, Kronborg castle! I've been to Kronborg castle, the place Hamlet is haunting.
For such a itsy bitsy country, Denmark has a lot of culture and history. Probably helps we are such an OLD country too. We got artefacts all the way back from the stone age. Followed by the bronze age and iron age, then viking age, mideveil time, renneacance. I love my country.
I’m gonna keep saying this, but once you get a dark blue dress hostess, go and sing with her with the song “ring”. Also the second hostess in the party league aika is who you can see the glory of “Like a Butterfly” cutscene. (Note that you have to complete their substories if you want to sing with them except the dark blue dress I mentioned earlier which unlocks for her instantly once you get her)
Your not wrong with my 2 fav hostess songs in this game, my fave is still raindrops
You just have to complete 2 days to open the karaoke
I hope he gives a certain Ryuzaki the Komaeda voice in THAT substory.
Kiryu turning on the charm this episode.
You are correct. Yakuza 0 was when Makoto first appeared, and Majima's karaoke in this is new as well.
lol, yes, some of the profit from the club has to go back into business. I mean, Yuki expects to get paid too, you know. As for the hostesses, Maeda was regularly MVP. I tend to avoid giving presents during both Ranked and Club Battles. It definitely cuts into profits.
In the Club battles now, you face clubs from all around Japan instead of Osaka. So Hiroshima Sweet Goddess is from Hiroshima, of course.
That minigame where Kiryu sits with Yuki, Koyuki and Kana in the restaurant, that's a more prevalent minigame in 6. Probably one of my favourites too, because you do it with different characters and get to know them more and more. And the setting makes it cozy as hell. In 6 you had to fill up a gauge (the same way you do with hostesses), so you had to get the right answers to progress the story. If you do it right you get the final dialogue option that's just one Excellent Choice.
And yes, Kiryu is younger than Yuki. Yuki was 21 in Yakuza 0. Kiryu was 20.
Also Ono-Michiko's head is an orange. You'll hear all about that charming hassaku face in another game.
Etherwinter should we tell him about the another one so he doesn’t miss it? It is a bit obscure to notice if you don’t talk to everyone
That minigame in Yakuza 6 was just so damn cozy and fun. Yakuza 6 in general had that feeling ya know. Just nice and cozy.
@@NishaPerson given the non kamurocho town in that game yeah.
Imagine if Kiryu was real and had a penchant for destroying things by walking into them like Nico was controlling him. There would be sections on the news that let people know where he is so that they can put their stuff inside. The Kiryu Watch section would be quite popular for more than one reason I bet.
"Currently Kiryu-chan will be teaching children how to Tiger Drop bullies over at Theater Square, so we advise not going that way with your bikes unless you want them to suffer a painful death."
... And now Majima is a news anchor.
Have to admit, there's something odd about seeing Kiryu straight up flirt with the girls. Maybe because he's normally so restrained? Goodness even Majima could behave himself :P
Also where's my golden Kiryu statue intro at? Or the Nishiki karaoke one?
In honor of today's cabaret club episode, today we shall have NIGHTLIFE FACTS!
While we all know what hostess clubs/cabaret clubs are by now, I'll give it a quick rundown real quick. It's a club where you essentially sit down, drink, and are entertained by a hostess, a girl who's job is basically to talk with and listen to you, light your cigarettes, sing karaoke, and essentially be on a mock date with you, all the while encouraging you to buy more drinks. In and of itself, it's a pretty distressing look at how bad personal life is in Japan, where you're essentially so overworked it gets hard to even be able to go on dates. HOWEVER, they actually, in a way, act as a modern version of a very old Japanese practice: geisha.
Contrary to a relatively common misconception, geisha are not prostitutes. Rather, they serve a similar role to that of the modern hostess, entertaining clients through the ancient traditions of art, dancing, and singing. Girls receive a rather significant amount of training, and are taught how to do the important things, such as dancing, which is mostly a sort of highly controlled interpretive dance descended from the dance of kabuki and noh plays; as well playing traditional Japanese music, namely on the shamisen, taiko drum, ko-tsuzumi drum, and flute. Some geisha not only played music, but also wrote poems, composed music, or painted.
Geisha, of course, still exist, though the profession has declined for various reasons, but they can still be found in the areas around their establishments, known as "okiya," and are still educated in traditional instruments; as well as taught various games, traditional songs and dances, calligraphy, tea ceremony, literature, and poetry. They are also often hired for parties and gatherings (I would imagine mostly by highly rich people) at traditional restaurants and tea houses.
Thems the bare bones, and I'd encourage to give the Wikipedia article a read. I did once in school when we supposed to study, and I was bored as hell, and that's where I learned pretty much all of this. Anyhow, thanks for the read, and hopefully I'll have more facts for you on the next episode!
Yeah there's a great documentary called The Great Happiness Space that I'm unsure if it's still on Netflix that shows what it's like to be a host/hostess. You'll never see Yuta the same way again.
Don't you just wish Kiryu could be an optional Cabaret Hostess? Or even better, Majima! I'd definitely ask for them at a club. We could talk all night, drink till we drop, then pay extra for them to escort me home and curb stomp some thugs while we're at it.
The perfect night...
Pengmaeda Goromi-chan best hostess
I'd go every night if that was a thing. Sigh...one can only dream.
I believe that there's a channel out there modding yakuza games by swapping character models
@@goahr5000 Yeah, are you talking about ioritree? They have the most hilarious mod videos! It's great stuff :D
also very disturbing
56:07 From now on, Kiryu calls Yuki Onee-chan, to her annoyance.
54:22 you know I feel like Nico is the smartest most proficient lets player ever, I know this is a small part to be prompting me to say this but, I've never seen an LPer catch on to stuff so fast, like want to say something during a cutscene? Just pause and it's not just silence from the player until the cutscene is over.
Damn Kiryu is playing with koyuki like he's playing 4d chess right now. I mean come on if this man was any
smoother he would slip when he walked.
Christopher Fox and then there is the substory...
No. What she ask for in Yakuza 0 was vinegar during when Majima was scouting club Mercury. Soy sauce is from the cross word side quest Majima did in tha game.
I’m going to guess the next intro picture. Is it Xenoblade Chronicle?
Finally, some Hostess action!!! IN HOSTESSES WE TRUST!!!!!!
DetectiveSpiritOfBobbyFulbrightGamer in Cabaret Clubs we trust?
Exactly! IN CABARET CLUBS WE TRUST!!!!!
Especially IN GOROMI-CHAN WE TRUST!
i love how you have become a meme for this channel at this point
Just for your info, remember the red ghost lady tape story? A.k.a The ring parody tape?
1) There was suppose to be a scream during the videotape jumpscare but it was somewhat removed in Yakuza Kiwami 2.
2) Apparently in the original after you chase the lady, instead of negotiating with the medium, you fought some faceless black goons which turns out one of them is the medium who tries to scam you. Apparently you just get 100,000 yen from him instead of just getting the stone.
3) And yes... the tape is not broken in the original.
People of club Four Shine please welcome the man, the myth, the legend Mr. Libido!
Watch how the next intro will be a picture of Nico and Bernie.
'Bernie to Nico: "MASTER-CHAN!"
21 years old with a baby face and no dating experience? Same Koyuki, same.
53:42 OBJECTION!!! And so ends, the tale of Kazuma Kiryu; ace attorney after causing many injuries to the judge, prosecutor, witness (Kiryu tiger drops and suplexed Larry butz into oblivion), bailiff komeda, by literally throwing evidence.
Now that's one meta intro.
Its all downhill from here, y'all, go home
Goddamnit Nico! I wanted to hear Kiryu say "I had a chicken once"...
The Evil Genius I actually clicked on that one, doesn’t change anything. You will know if it changes the flow of the conversation when kiryu is currently speaking into a choice.
@@FlareSouL oh...
Still not used to seeing kiryu in a tuxedo.
Confused him for Majima in the thumbnail, today and a few episodes ago.
Just gotta say. I love how the comment section is half the experience in a Nico B video. Having been with this channel since the Persona 4 Golden LP, I have loved seeing how we have evolved to the picky penguins we are today. You are all great. Stay classy everyone.
If the baby fetish side story wasn't originally censored in Yakuza 2, then I'm legitimately worried for what could be considered worse than that to actually be censored in Yakuza 3.
It wasn't censored per say. The content in question was cut for an entirely different reason: Time constraints and localization was behind schedule. To speed things up so Yakuza 3 could go gold in the West,.they took out the less important stuff.
Everything cut from 3 was not done with censorship in mind. So don't worry, it will not top grown men in diapers. But the side stories are still Kiryu's Bizarre Adventures.
Grand Prix? What's next, hostesses on motorcycles?
Hostesses confirmed for Mario Kart 9.
Have one bust into the club Makoto style (Persona 5 Makoto).
Inception bakamitai intensifies boys!!
I got really emotional when Nico read the lyrics in the beginning of the video even though the music wasn’t playing
Kiryu knows all the right buttons to push when he's teasing. As expected of the Daddy of Dragons. 😆
The way he was yanking Koyuki's chain around reminded me A LOT of Gintoki when he was helping out Kyoushiro's club.
He's a natural charmer... As well as an idiot. 😂
A winning and deadly combination. Dangerous enough for women and some men to fall for.
There are a few great hostesses you get from sun stories, so I wouldn't try completing the entirety of the Cabaret Grand Prix, when you complete said sub stories the hostess that you get will appear next to the club, there are 3 hostesses in particular you get from separate sub stories. One of them is the Woman from the Orphanage, complete all her sub stories to get her as a hostess.
To bounce off of what this comment says, you might wanna to continue the story a little bit up til the story brings you back to Sotenbori. The orphanage headmistress is strictly kamurocho so she can be done quick while 3 potential hostesses can be achieved only in Sotenbori. One is achieved when doing two separate side-quest involving struggling musicians, another one is done through helping a woman find her sister, and the final one is achievable when the main story is progressed to the point where it is morning in Sotenbori so when that happens, go to the southern most point of Sotenbori.
Blacktwinswords the last one gonna be great she will definitely *help.*
55:52 The "Oh, do tell." is becoming the equivalent of Persona 5's "Who are you, again?"
55:12 That time when Yakuza wanted to be a Telltale game
Koyuki : So how old are you Kana ?
Kiryu : TENDER CLEVAGE !!!!!
The girls all together : Aww Kiryu san !!!
(The girls will remember this)
So I was watching Kamen Rider Den-O, and in episodes 13 and 14, the monster of the weeks was the Owl Imagin. Upon hearing it's voice, I was hit with a wave of deja vu, and sure enough, he shares Kiryu's voice actor, Takaya Kuroda. After looking him up to see if my suspicions were true, I can confirm the Takaya is one of the only voice actors in the world who looks as badass and over the top as the characters he plays. He seriously looks like he could the final boss of his own Yakuza game.
Also, bonus fun fact of the day, Takaya plays Cranky and Diesel 10 in the Japanese dub of Thomas the Tank Engine (no, I am not shitting you, look it up)
Also also, go watch Kamen Rider, it's a pretty good franchise, I would start with either Den-O, OOO, Ex-Aid, or Fourze, although any season is good starting off point.
Didnt he also lend his voice to some Yaoi type of stuff?
I'm not exactly sure if he did or didn't, but if he did do a yaoi role, well... Voice actors have to pay the bills one way or another, you know?
Takaya Kuroda also voiced Morax from SMT Strange Journey Redux
@@metagross9092 Yes. Yes he did.
I like how seke (both sub and dom) Kiryu is. He's like a beefcake of a dude, with a heart of bloody gold, fists of a dragon, the accidental humor of a tv sitcom, and STILL has to look down at the floor, pout, and beg Majima to do what he needs. Hell even Majima GIVES IN like the dom of the relationship. Naturally, both can take the roles, but Majima seems to be the best bet. Cuz we all know one thing about Majima that will never change:
Hurt, sadden, or even TOUCH his Kiryu and you're DEAD
Deader than Majima's sanity after Yakuza 0
You know, If you dont consider the fact that most of your costumers are guys that live such lonessome lives (for whatever reason) that they are willing to pay a girl to pretend to like them, runing a hostes club actualy sound's like one of the most fun alternatives of having your own business (and not only because of the pretty ladies)
Omg. kiryu voice just smear with coconut butter all over the my ear. Seriously that voice was so great! I am not kidding that I would want to have voice just smooth as kiryu
Finally. Now Kiryu go get that vinegar!!
I was looking forward to this upload this entire day. Thank you
Oh, and in the mean time in an old building …
Daigo : I'm sure Kiryu will come for me … He will save me … He will … Omg, does he forget me ?!
So is Karou just waiting outside while Kiryu is having dates and group get together lol
Kaoru: "What about me Kiryu-san?!?! I'm #1 waifu in this game and all you're doing is fooling around with side chicks! I'll curbstomp you if you don't cut the crap!"
Cabaret Club tip: There are a few girls (Koyuki being one of them) that get a perk called 'Escorted' as you level them up. That means they'll start the shift with a high-paying customer that will almost always extend their session. Lemme tell ya, it is a damn GODSEND, especially in the later leagues.
You know the cabaret club minigame is kinda like Pokemon. You gather a powerful group of individuals(Pokemon or Hostesses) to the defeat the masters of said craft.(Gym Leaders and Cabaret Club Bosses).
Oh no, it’s Ono Michiko!
Oh No!
Damn, Koyuki with the sick burns at the end of the Fresh League Championship match.
Good thing the music video has Kiryu looking at a picture, rather than a video.
28:22
I'm so glad Nico brought up Majima doing the thumbs up, legendary moments FTW!
Is it bad that the thing I get the most excited for everytime a new Yakuza episode comes up is what crazy thing Nico put as the picture in the "And now back to..."
27:55
I imagine it like that one iCarly bit, where Spencer, at the literal last second, threw a trophy at Gibby's head that he was supposed to give to a contest winner.
I almost wish during Koyuki's little spat with the other two hostesses, Kiryu should have just pulled popcorn out of nowhere.
I'm still not over Koyuki's hairstyle being like Makoto's... hngg... I still... can't... GET OVER... KAICHOU-
Now that's the type of intro I'm talking about!
23:15 Back then weren't the stakes "loser gets brought into the back alley and executed"
Does baka mitai intro looks at photo of baka mitai looking at another baka mitai looking at 24 hour majima.
(Grabber grabs plushie)
(Grabber drops plushie into tray)
(plushie climbs back out of tray and flips you the finger)
"YOU LOSE!"
You know... I never thought I would have one of those good laugh out loud while rolling on the floor moments Nico has and I accepted that...
56:31 Today... I'm reborn...
14:20 Nico predicted the shelves in the Judgement games.
0:25
That's some Bakamitaiception right there
Got hand to Kiryu during those Talk times with the Hostess, he got some serious seductive skills over the years goddamit.
Especially with that sexy voice of his, god how I love his Voice.
The Baka Mitai inception intro must continue to expand. Soon the picture will become unrecognizable.
Anyone else imagine Michiko removing the mask and it is Majima the entire time? lol
I knew Goromi was hiding somewhere!
I just realized that yuki’s name mean snow in Japanese and she wore a snow-patterned dress in Yakuza 0 and now Koyuki is new snow and guess she wears...a new snow-patrerned dress
She's also Yuki ver 0.2, since she acts similar to her and looks up to her as a role model.
If the next Bakamitai photo isn't Nugget, I'm going to riot.
Kyle Mason nugget appearing twice apparently
She doesn’t blink...
...
It’s weird. She’s staring straight into my soul... But Kiryu’s charming voice, it really is so good.
I think it would be so awesome if at the end of the cabaret side quest the leader of the rival clubs would call 150 thugs on them. Then Kiryu goes out to fight them like a boss, in the black tux, but after 50 the platinum hosts are like "Oh no Kiryu is going to lose!!" Then Yuki says "I got to call someone". Then after beating 25 more thugs Majima pops up, also wearing his black tux, and says "Kiryuuuuuuuu chan, let's kick some thug butt together, and then decimate the 75 remaining thugs with badass heat actions.
Then after its all over Majima thanks Kiryu for helping Yuki before trying to leave, but being stopped by Yuki. After that you can then select to play as Majima during Caberet Club bouts.
1:12:19 Technically a lot of the hostesses do that same gesture when your running the club where they press the pads of their fingers together.
I guess it gives a certain cute or hostess-like feeling that charms the customer to think something like, "She's so lady-like."
0:27
Kiryu: God I miss the simpler days...When I had four fighting styles...and stupid amounts of super amour.
Majima: But mines was bett-
Kiryu: LET ME HAVE THIS MOMENT! Nico can only come up with so many jokes.
19:53 Shimano is a hot potato indeed
Always remember nugget he was the best manager kiryu got XD
Fucking laughed my ass off when I saw that the picture was of Kiryu singing Bakamitai. Some Inception level shit.
Never thought I’d enjoy playing and watching Yakuza but here I am
Hey NicoB, are you also gonna play the Fist of the North Star spin-off of the series? It was also made by the guys who did the original Yakuza 0 engine. You'll see Daddy Kiryu as Kenshiro and other cast of the series as characters of the anime/manga.
Some Yakuza Dad With a Beard I don’t know if he has watch the anime but the game is a original story. He might handle the gore.
No need, the game itself pretty much summarizes the first part of the anime up until Ken kills Shin.
Maybe someday, but I think he’ll awhile before jumping into it since it’s basically another Yakuza game (even with the different cast of characters).
56:30 the time where Nico and I exploded in laughter together
Welcome back to another episode of WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
with NicoB
Max level for hostesses is 30 and platinums is 40, just like in 0. Also just like 0 there are some hostesses you can get by completing substories, including two of the best ones in the game.
Kiryu in the intro.
It was bound to happen.
I want to know if Michiko’s mask is a reference to something or if she’s just an eccentric character. The fact that she came with one of the packs makes me think it’s a reference to something.
Kiryu: I had a chicken and his name was Nugget, he was the best chicken that could somehow handle business and now I don't where he went now. . .he was great buddy
Nugget: *hangout out in the construction site doing work*
Majima: How the fuck does this chicken have the strength of a God
1:04:07 Ono-Michiko is grown up Futaba (from Persona 5) with the weird mask.
Kiryuuuu!
I have some gameplay advice regarding hostesses and karaoke; once you finish one of the hostesses songs you can just exit out of the mini game, there's no need to keep doing Kiryu's songs over and over when you just want to do a hostess song and nothing will change from exiting the mini game the song's music video and record will be saved as long as you finished a hostess song and they will still say thanks for inviting them.
I love thus choices in the cutscenes
Imagine going to work and your boss essentially asks you to eat with them at a restaurant but forces a bunny costume into your hands and demands you change into it for the meal.
Koyuki: why are you looking down when talking to me, Kiryu-san?
Kiryu: I swear i was only looking at the text line
(Me watching the conversation at 42 mins)
Cool intro, now all we need is a version where the photo becomes a looping video of the intro
Finally we get back to the main story
THE PICTURE IN THE INTRO OMG I'M CRYING
