I just realized how kiryu blends in with the crowd now. With his iconic suit he stands out more. Now he looks like a typical working class of japan. A salary man.
Yeah, that's the thing with the "Dragon of Dojima" legend/myth. People know the power, the suit, but not the face. Hence why the Fake Kiryu was able to get away with it and why this "disguise" works
well he does technically work for the government as an agent
Kiryu prolly would still be noticed as the hottest DILF in the area doe fr
@yungchangsta im not even joking his look in this game is what got me interested in playing
Putting on a different suit is like Superman wearing Glasses
never expected JID to cross over with this franchise wtf
Maybe JID is a gamer and Enemy wasn't him selling out
is JID good?
@@Yousef77077actually top tier in flow and lyrically
@@Yousef77077 yes very much so
What is JID stands for?
Like how this and the 8 one they seemingly showed contrast so much. One living in shadow and the other in light
You might even say it's about... the Whereabouts of Light and Darkness
For the uneducated, this is the japanese title for Yakuza 7 - Like A Dragon@@sanityismadness
This is about Ichi and Masato too
@@rustykingriot bro explained the joke
thanks
0:54 Flexing that phone vibrating the same way that they flexed the bread in 7. RGG's animation skills are always on point
and the ice at 1:46
The guys for the animation department pulling up with 🔥🔥🔥
@@LuisMane1Rgg studio always go all out with small detailed animations
Funny thing is that since this game made after 8 but released before 8, Animation look pretty smooth and more natural like how thing could move in real world. In past games, There's a little bit janky in animation during cutscene and you could tell this is game cutscene. But in this game, It's feel less like video games and more like movie.
I can't imagine how great animation going to be once we get another Yakuza games.
Put those damn cigarettes down before it's too la...nevermind.
Too soon 😂
Cancer is a mofo
Akiyama ain't the only one affected by smoking anymore
He put it away for the cover of Yakuza 3, but it was too little too late 😢
Following after Kurosawa, I see.
“Now you know me as somebody that you never knew” just goes so hard!
Remided me of the lyrics of a song "I am the devil you forgot". Granted Kiryu is no devil, but still
@@ragnar97do you remember what song this was?
@@Kazzy234 "Hell's coming with me" by Poor mans poison
RGG is going hard on the cinematic angle, love it
It fucking DESTROYS you when it gets emotional now. Even more than before. Shit hurts.
I enjoy how quite this opening is compared to judgment or lost judgment's opening. It's simply kiryu living, kinda like the opening scene for yakuza 5. I love both
It's Kiryu existing. As with 5, I don't think he's really living.
It's such a lonely opening and great to show where Kiryu is and the life he's living.
Yeah, he's alive, but he's an attack dog living a completely solitary life at this point.
Idk why 5 kiryu feels more depressing than gaiden kiryu. Maybe because this is his second rodeo at distancing away from the family
finally an intro that doesnt spoil the entire game
Yeah, but now they spoil the entire game in the trailers
@@marcosa1961its the first cutscene of the game
@@medeirosbros8647 when they put kiryu saying "i have cancer" in the trailer for infinite wealth i was so fckin pissed man
@@medeirosbros8647They sure did spoil the damn Bryce reveal in the fucking trailer.
Judgment games :
Love how this song really captures where he's at in this game and everything he's had to deal with leading to this point . JIDs verse is so on point it makes me sad and want to hug Kiryu
Seeing him light that cigarette, knowing what we now know, it's heartbreaking 😢
especially when you see him wince in pain
@@ketrub at what time exactly
@@zerparadoxx9458 he might have meant at 1:35 you see him clench his teeth a bit.
@@SplitGhostsword Honestly, I don't see it
@@zerparadoxx9458 reason why i said might. Its subtle so one could think it might be that. or its earlier.
SPOTIFY PLEASE! We’re begging man 🙏🏼
I loved how they mixed real footage in, made the cutscene feel more real. One of my favorite intros in the franchise.
I didn't even notice that.
I just thought RGG really went all in on the cinematics.
Where?
@@ninjasniperproductions4476 the first 10 seconds although I thought I remembered more shots throughout but I guess not
@@ninjasniperproductions4476 all of it up until kiryus feet
One neat details I spotted in this intro is that, When you take a look at Kiryu's face when he smoke, He didn't happy or having stoic face he normally did in past games. Instead, He look desperate. He look like his 5's self again where he stuck at lowest point of his life. He didn't see any hope and he want to cry but he can't.
And cigarettes now used in different context than before. In past games, You seen cigarettes interpret in different meaning. Either coolness, stylishness or messiness. But here, When you see that face of Kiryu, Only thing that make sense is that he want to escape bad feeling that comeback to haunt him after bad decision he did. One of reason people used drugs(Altrough I am pretty much against it,) like cigar is that they have really high stress, Have many bad feelings happens all at once and don't know how to released it elsewhere.
Coming back to this intro after beating the game hits me in the feels knowing that this game is the last solo kiryu game, the game was masterpiece and has the best finale in series IMO
Part of me wonders if JID has played these games because these lyrics are SO applicable to Kiryu. Either that or SEGA gave him a REALLY good synopsis of the game to reference for his verse lmao
I don’t remember what he exactly said but during a RGG summit when they in a video introduce him announcing his involvement in the game I believe he does say he’s a fan of the series.
Time to burn another week of vacation days when this is out on Steam.
Are those vacation days burning?
Its free on xbox game pass mate
@@Soradakanizat how does that make the vacation days not go away?
0:03 I genuinely can't figure if this is an ingame cutscene or live action based on how good it looks
live action, these cars are real
Look at their people height during walk
its real or cgi. not in game lol
@@teevee23 I was just complimenting how good the game looks, no need to be an asshole about it...
Looks like real life. The faces and heads of people change in a subtle but noticable way after the shot of Kiryu walking.
Just like Kiryu, this song is fleeting and even knowing its name, I can’t find it anywhere.
The japanese lyrics at the last part "When can we smile ? " that hurts
1:17 “they don’t know that I’m Kamurocho’s fastest”
I actually really like this intro
It fits the modern vibe, while also giving some sense of nostalgia. Pretty much what Kiryu feels nowadays.
And if you've somehow played Infinite Wealth before (early 2024), this intro feels different
I prefer the one from the last sumit "fading away"
@@justarandombluebird8222I think it will be the ending song
The american rap voice fits the modern vibe of Japan? WTF are you talking about? This is Yakuza and they don't listen to some american boy rap.
@@takeyourtime3328 Did you listen to the music till the end ? There was some japanese too.
There are two melodies wrapped in this song. One which suggests the modern vibe (the english one), and one which reflects a more melancholic vibe. (the japanese one)
@@nasmatique Yes. and it's still rap which has no connection to Yakuza. Not with the japanese voice and even less with the american boy. You can find the music great but it doesn't fit what Yakuza stands for.
They picked the song to pander to young folks from the western world. That's why it makes it so cringe... They do it for money and NOT what fits the Yakuza traditional city vibe. (I am japanese btw)
wish this song was on spotify
This is so chill
Everytime they make a rap song for a Yakuza game they cook up straight fire
It's mad to see how far Kiryu has come in his life, knowing what's on the other side of the door in Infinite Wealth is just insane and upsetting.
casually the best looking scene in the entire series
Love all the "rap bad" people in the comments not even acknowledging that JID's verse is incredibly on point for this game and it's themes. Yojiro sounds great too, and the song really fits the moodier tone this opening is clearly trying to set. Need this song on streaming services asap!
I'm someone who doesn't like rap as a genre, but there can and will always be exceptions to this thinking. I can appreciate a good rap song like this, but there's simply too much rap that isn't like this.
And it doesn't apply to just rap, it applies to a lot fo different music genres for other people. They'll say they hate dubstep, but one of their favorite songs is dubstep.
As for my opinion on this song? Absolutely great fit
@@johannavori8698 Yeah, I think my initial comment was a bit overgeneralizing. I was just a bit annoyed at people dismissing the song on the basis of it simply having a rapper on it instead of actually talking about the song itself. If ya don't really like rap as a whole that's completely fine, same with any other genre. Everybody's got their own unique tastes and I love that about people.
@@jorden2751 JID's(whoever this is) part of the music sounds like trash, doesn't matter if the lyrics match the themes of the game, it simply sounds bad.
It's not about bad rap it's about rap in Yakuza game with japanese people. It doesn't fit! It's pandering to 14 years old us kids.
@@An00nit doesn't dude. You're tripping, or racist
Never thought I would hear jid in like a dragon massive W
This is just so sad.... it's like he really alone in his old days with no buddy to share the beer and cig
Finally... MORE KIRYU! I MEAN JORYU!
Maybe we spoke too much about akiyaka being the only character who gets health problems from cigarettes.
So dope they got JID, he's one of the best in the game rn
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Has Cancer
hope it releases soon on spotify
notify me when it does
The album for the soundtrack released but I can't seem to find it sadly
This song is so awesome, why aren’t they posting this on spotify 😢
This opening movie is absolutely incredible and the song is amazing! I love the vibes and atmosphere it gives off! I can’t wait to play Gaiden and see the next chapter of Kiryu’s story!
ME TOO!!!! I LOVE YAKUZA! I hope Kiryu gets his happy ending!
@@Spam-kq8pu about that...
Kiryu😢
A few things I'd like to point out. First, one of the best flames I've ever seen in a game coming from that lighter. Second, animation. Having characters realistically interact with things in a game is incredibly difficult. Third, the liquid. It bubbles and affects the surface. Not quite like real life but it's getting there. Then, the liquid ring when the glass is picked up that the ice leaves. The phone vibrating looks fantastic as well. Last, the walking animation is amazing as it has been for years from RGG. Well done.
It's on Spotify now 🎉
Smoke responsibly.
This song fits so well with kiryu
what the actual fuck. i am playing through yakuza for the past couple of years (shout out judgment and LJ though), and i finally got to this one. been listening to jid from way back. this intro fucked me up real good. being high doesnt help, but the intro is so fucking good. thanks jid
JID? Goddamn man. The Sega/Atlus TGS is gonna be lit. The Man who erased his name, Infinite Wealth, P3 Reload, and P5 Tactica? This is starting to look 23-24 is gonna be the best gaming year of all time! What a time to be a fan!
Metaphor Refantazio too
Sonic Frontiers
Man who erased his name, Infinite Wealth
Persona 3 and Persona 5
Yeah. SEGA is definitely comes from ashes
i love this game even more and more every time since the beginning and now JID on sound too 😮💨 been waiting for this series to continue with the legend
Shame this song doesn't seem to be on the soundtrack or available anywhere for that matter
Even though I'm not at all a fan of the rap genre of music, this right here is a damn good song, and I can for sure welcome this to my playlist. 🔥
there's tons of rap like this, you should look into it more than the stereotypes people give it
i find it insane that jid is in a like a dragon game
This theme gives chills
My speculated lyrics (I'm not sure about most of the Japanese part its all just guesses until the official lyrics drop
You not the man 'till you beat the master
You got the plan then we get the action, I got the answers.
To what your asking but can you handle a hand-to-hand if you not advancing there's no advantages.
It bring madness
Stickin' up with the savages
With bad habits by the way of the dragon
And fight within get ignited from real passion
And ties within heavy wind, I've been traveling
Now you know me as somebody that you never knew
A face you aint never seen
A ghost to my old truth
Burnin' through the pages of my soul, leavin' no proof
Only ashes whisper for the memory of my past but it's no use.
And if I got a second chance, I had no clue.
I'm in the shadows hidin' where I'm supposed to
And you prolly wouldn't believe it if I told you
The only way you gon see it is if I showed you
Whenever I'm walkin' alone
Lost in land, runnin' from home
One change lightened the room, no one understands you.
町かテイル角、鏡散るべと
何て他頃の空はというないよ
闇ったて中ってること、だけ雨大用おの金染みさえ
嗚咽に女の子とを今晩だの時な避ける冴え
僕を殺すの毒の適すか桃のと
行かすの、金やすこ
取んなくそうかれ伊豆の貸すの
僕割れるかどかでいらぶ、先託しか割るわけない。
あるはず波だろう中見るかどかは俺しだい
全てないだ、時の中で、僕らいつか、笑えるかな、かな…
could you please romanize the japanese lyrics?

@@z64gionnoryu You're a goddamn wizard and for that I thank you
why is this song not on streaming 😭😭
Masterclass! Spotify please :)
J.I.D is amazing 🔥
My personal headcanon is that Kiryu started to smoke alot more often to try to keep his feelings about those he miss together cuz my own dad used to smoke to calm down a long time ago (thankfully he's stopped a long time ago too). That along with his aging caused...the thing
Man, Like A Dragon 8's gonna kick my feelings in the balls...
No. He just got hit by toxic wastes lmao
Seeing 49,99 pricetag, knowing what we now know. It's heartbreaking 😢
Best intro I've ever experienced after that initial fight❤....definitely felt bad ass..and lonely...
Even though we don't see it but i feel like that through this whole intro it seems like Kiryu just couldn't catch or take a break. Like his break in the bar was so short just after most likely being bodyguard to the unknown red head white fur coat woman from the trailer.
Poor kiryu kazuma he will never see his loved ones ever again
IS THIS REALL???????? IS JID FR THE MAIN THEME OF GAIDEN?!?!?!?!?!
such a great theme
Is this ever going to get a Spotify release 😭
Likely September 25. That's when noda's new Album releases (including Katatoki)
I actually really like the song, and while some may think the rap doesn't suit Kiryu, I think there's a symbolic reasoning for it. The rap isn't for Kiryu, but for Joryu. It shows how Kiryu has essentially disappeared and now something completely different has come in his place. The tone of the rap sounds upbeat, but there's a melancholy feel to it. It shows the excitement of the secret agent life Kiryu now leads, but also all he has lost along with his name.
Interesting take, like unironically that's interesting
So what's going on with the song in the story trailer? I thought for sure that'd be the main theme.
ending credits song, maybe? like bubble vs kurenai in the jp release of 0
Makes sense, I guess I was just thinking about how Lost Judgment didn't have a credits song and kinda obfuscated my memory of the other games'. Though personally, I feel like Fading Away works better with the visuals in this opening, but they're both good, so I'm not complaining.
This rap should've honestly been in the credits section, feels more melancholic for the finale of the game rather than the intro, where Fading Away is perfect
too fire
spotify release when????
kiryu lofi >>>
This goes hard asf
Need song link for Spotify
Is this part of a game or it will be an anime movie? Looks amazing. Only played Yakuza 0, planning on playing Kiwami and Kiwami 2 real soon, already bought them.
please do play all up to 6, they are great and Kiryu is one of the best game protagonists ever
New game coming in November. Takes place after Yakuza 6 so you'll do yourself a massive favour getting up to date beforehand
I highly recommend to play them all you will appreciate it more when playing the newer ones mever thought i would get on to this series but its one of my all time favourites
You gotta play all the way until Like A Dragon.
Play all the way up to the 6, this game takes place after 6 and it has a lot of callback and spoilers for the other games(like kiwami 1)
W RGG they got JID for this
Most open minded Like a Dragons fans in this comments section☠️
So far I've seen no one complain about the music.
The open minded Yakuza fans can' accept others don't like their shitty raps aimed at teenagers.
@@An00nit's actually really good. The changes in tempo, the jazzy beat, the vibe. The lyrics reflecting kiryu's loneliness.
@@An00n The open minded Yakuza fans can't accept bad takes, like yours for example.

No he doesn’t
Yakuza Gaiden: The Man 😢
Eh, le intro di Yakuza/Dragon hanno sempre avuto mood diversi in base al periodo in cui è ambientata la storia
But kiryu Kazuma looking fresh as always
man why isnt this on Spotify
My face when I was playing this to hear my boy Jid had a verse on a yakuza I’m just here to prove that I wasn’t on some 🧢
Man... i was hoping for a full version of "Fading Away" but...okay then.
I wish I could hear the full version
Intro real snazzy 🔥🔥🔥
I cant wait for back to Kamurocho❤
no way!!!! J.i.D rapping caught me off guard
This song makes me cry even when I just think about it 😭😭
They better add a freaking intro to Gaiden
this is the intro lol
yeah ts is def after u start game, not "before menu OP"
Too good of a game
HOLY BASED
^And here, we got one of these nonsense comments that adds nothing...

Strongest negativity fan vs weakest HOLY BASED enjoyer
Love this game reminds me of a Bitter sweet life ❤
