Its incredibly funny to see your takes on Kiryu as a character just based on the videos that you've seen so far. The cold, immovable and stoic personality that Kiryu gives off just happens to because of the cruel and unforgiving criminal underworld that he keeps getting dragged into. On the flip side he is (debatably) one of the more caring characters within the series as he's a big believer in second chances. On a few occasions Kiryu has given a few antagonists a chance to start over and move on from their criminal life, even when someone is considered "Too far gone" he tries to give them a chance to change and when talking doesn't work he challenges their beliefs with direct confrontation. Kiryu has lived a hard and sad life, he's never truly been able to find the peace that he's always wanted but that hasn't stopped him from fighting on and trying to have fun when he can.
16:30 ….no there is….another reason why it’s so popular Spoilers after translation Will it never change? REM sleep so deep it’s like death Come on, it’s about time to get up The sun’s trying to shine, despite the clouds and curtains “Tomorrow’s a long awaited holiday, let’s go swimming” I guess you’re dreaming about the sea around now Never mind age, have fun We could charter a boat and stare into the sunset The ultimate Weekend Day If we polish today it will shine like a Great Diamond so Please, Get up my baby! (Come on, please get up) (Please! Please wake up) (You’re never going to wake up) (I guess I’ll go to sleep too … ) The song tricks you with the upbeat music, but the lyrics have a double meaning. One for just being a song about a lover wanting their love to get out of bed to enjoy the day, while the other meaning is how Kiryu at the moment is feeling Basically Kitty’s daughter is in a coma after getting hit by a car after she went missing for 3 years. Kiryu’s daughter is his rock, the only person who can give him emotional comfort The line “I guess I’ll go to sleep too” is Kiryu’s way of saying that he will kill himself if his daughter never wakes up
I think so too. 6 For Kiryu, this is the accumulation of many events. The situations Haruka is in, Kiryu feeling guilty, his lost comrades, taking care of Haruto, the main story progressing through the parents, and in the end, he is the one who sacrifices himself for his loved ones.
@@matthewsteinmetz729 There’s no way Kiwami 2 could make anyone cry, Yakuza 3 is way more tearjerking than that game. Kiwami 2 is highly rated that highly for the gameplay and graphics. Yakuza 3 and 5 are surely better than Kiwami 2 when it comes to sad moments
The best part being Kiryu is a god at Karaoke because he doesn't understand that you don't have to o it at 100000000%. Why would you not give your all? With the new game coming up and [SPOILERS], Today is a Diamond hits way different now.
hands to me is super emotional, mostly because it was supposed to be like a kind of goodbye song for Kiryu as Yakuza 6 was the last game he was supposed to appear in as a protagonist. Today is a Diamond is rather funny but sad, mostly because in the music video Kiryu looks so happy singing this, depsite how it sounds, rather depressing song. Anyway these are all fun, I recommend doing the Yakuza songs from either 5 or Like a Dragon.
The last one you watched (called "Hands") with the baby is my personal fav. I'm pretty sure it's the only karaoke song in the franchise where you can listen to the entire song and it's post-game exclusive. It's such an incredible song and once you finish the game it really hits hard in your emotions.
Such wonderful songs qwq And yes they are kinda brothers but it's his best friend and that's their father figure :3 And it's actually his niece's kid :0
(Restart From) Tonight (the song with the flashbacks to someone who he considered BROTHER)? It is more sad when you remember that the person who he considers a brother is dead... Alot of things happened but that little bit of his friend point a gun at him WASN'T the falling out. It was when Kiryu WILLINGLY TOOK THE BLAME for the murder of Dojima (that the brother, Nishkiyama, 'Nishki' as we call him as it's short hand and he refers to him, had actually comitted) Ten Years in prison for Kiryu and 10 years of shit going so badly for Nishki to where he fundamentally changed. Eventually the two would have it out at a penthouse at Millenium Tower but Kiryu never killed Nishki...That would go to the other guy who was part of what is known as the 10 Million Yen incident. Or rather SPECIFICALLY said guy trying to kill Kiryu after mortally wounding Yumi (Kiryu and Nishki's childhood friend) before Nishki STABBED THE MOTHERFUCKER to shove him into the vault holding said 10 Million (or was it Billion, either way it was a tonne of money) and a BOMB that Yumi had meant to use to remove the money from play...Nishki shut the door then shot the bomb, setting it off.
It’s great to see another Yakuza reaction but I’m still waiting to see the day when you guys finally start playing the whole Yakuza franchise starting with Yakuza 0 because that is something you guys will love a lot.
*I think you guys might like the perk jingles for Infinite Warfare Zombies, I'll give a little hint that it's mostly 80s sounding stuff.* *Plus there's others such as Wunderfizz, Death Perception, and Elemental Pop if you wanna check those out.*
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames *I'm pretty sure Death Perception and Elemental Pop both were introduced in Cold War, which fun fact, is set around 1980 something, just a heads up.*
Hope you guys have a chance to check out Lost Judgement’s Ex-Actions. Unlike the mainline series, Judgement is focused more on the legal side of things, with private investigator Yagami taking the stage in this spin-off series. As such, except for a few recycled animations from Kiryu, Yagami is occasionally less brutal in his actions I say Lost Judgement rather than the first game, Judgement, simply cause Lost Judgement has the same EX-Actions, plus a few new ones There’s also the Kiwami/Essence attacks from Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Put simply, the new protagonist Kasuga has an overactive imagination, and what looks like a street brawl to everyone else is the definition of anime attacks for Kasuga Also fun fact, Judgement is the first time since the original Yakuza back in 2005 that the series has an English dub after being Japanese only. It’s become a staple since then
You wouldn’t be able to tell by listening to the tone of the song or looking at the music video, but “Today is a Diamond” is actually a song about comas and suicide.
Hİİ.It's always fun to watch you❤😁Although the song Today is Diamond, which Kiryu sings on the guitar, sounds very fun, it actually expresses his wish for someone he loves to wake up from a coma. At the end, he says wake up, wake up:( I love this disproportion. The Yakuza team conveys an emotional situation in an entertaining way.
9:36 The context here is that Kiryu was in deep shit with his former Yakuza family. There were thousands of Yakuza hunting for him and they were ordered to capture him alive so he could be tortured to death as a warning to others. And of course his best friend Nishiki would be made to watch it too. So Nishiki "rescued" Kiryu and took him out of Tokyo with the intention of shooting him dead believing Kiryu didn't have a hope in hell of escaping the Yakuza and at least he could make his death quick. However, Nishiki ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.
I don’t know if I said this already but. That’s why the yakuza games are unforgivable. Where you can sing emotional songs one moment. Then smash a thugs nuts against a pole but next. There is fun for everyone.
Always important to keep in mind with Yakuza stuff: This is a soap opera story where characters wear their hearts on their sleeves for absolutely every little thing they do. They always have full sincerity and maximum investment in their lives, and it is both endearing and beautiful. Pleeeeease consider Yakuza 0~
The translated lyrics to "Today Is a Diamond" are actually kind of gut wrenching despite the happy demeanor the song gives off. It's about a retired man trying to get his wife out of bed for a date that they couldn't afford in their youth but she won't wake up.

16:30 ….no there is….another reason why it’s so popular
Spoilers after translation
Will it never change?
REM sleep so deep it’s like death
Come on, it’s about time to get up
The sun’s trying to shine, despite the clouds and curtains
“Tomorrow’s a long awaited holiday, let’s go swimming”

Playing the "Hands" karaoke segment after you finish the main story really hits you harder than Kiryu in Ryu mode
Out of all the Yakuza games, This one will make you cry the most 😄
I dunno, i think the Like a Dragon game, the first game featuring Ichiban was the one that made me tear up more
@@Cruddy129 weird, 0 6 Like a Dragon and Kiwami 2 making people cry the most and also being considered the best of the games, who would've guessed

It is in full consideration 🙂
Day one of asking them to react to Yakuza kiwami 2 karaoke
Ill never get over how grimm the lyrics of todah is diamond are and then they put Kyriu dancing with an ukelele 💀
holy shit they're reacting to the song of life
please react to 'all Yakuza dynamic intros', they're awesome! :D
Hm, these are such a nice addition to Games like this.
Say, have done any of the Boss Fights?
My favourite karaoke is TONIGHT, just because its really sad and Kiryu's friend died.. His name is Nishiki.. Nice video by the way
The translated lyrics to "Today Is a Diamond" are actually kind of gut wrenching despite the happy demeanor the song gives off.
It's about a retired man trying to get his wife out of bed for a date that they couldn't afford in their youth but she won't wake up.
Ahhh, waiting for Yakuza 0 playthrough!
Oh my god I love yakuza 6 it’s my favorite yakuza game in the yakuza series
😎🤟🥳
Please react more yakuza heats karaoke and fun moments. This is fun.)))
Yakuza is always a good time 😁
Suggestion Yakuza cutscenes
I feel like having an english translation of the lyrics handy would have done them good, since they lack like ANY context here
if you are going to do more karaoke reactions i recommend checking out yakuza 5. it got the best songs there imo
If you ever do the Yakuza 7 (yakua like a dragon) or Yakuza 8 one's pls do the japanese one's they are so much better :)
Can you please react to Yakuza all dynamic intros?
Bravo.
💞
i really hope you guys react to the newer yakuza (like a dragon) games its even funnier and crazier 🤣
We do plan to check it out at some point 🙂
that's awesome 🙏@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames
yakuza 7 summons and karaoke is what im looking forward to the most 🤣
Atleast point you can't make more reaction videos without playing Yakuza game first starting with Yakuza 0 😅
😂🏆🗿
🤓☝️
YAKUZA7.8 please
you should've tried singing along using the on screen karaoke lyrics to spice things up 😭🥲
you guys should learn to properly pronounce yakuza, its not that hard.
