@@ivanmacgar6447 the fact that he is the voice of Jotaro makes him so much fun, like we always got small comments and snip bits on the anime and manga of Jotaro actually playing around with his friends and doing silly shit, so imagining him just singing his heart out in karaoke like Kiiryu is one of the best things ever
this is actually inspired by a real band called m.o.v.e, with kiryu mimicking the rapper motsu and the hostess singing like yuri, if you like this i recommend checking them out they also did (most of) the ops and some other ost for initial d
Hearing this gives me vibes of that song by Evanescence called "Bring Me to Life". The girl is singing the main vocals and Kiryu's doing the back up vocals.

I honestly want someone to do a cover of this, but just have all of kiryu’s lines be all aggressive and savage. Like, just have the lady’s lyrics be normal, but have the guy doing kiryu’s lyrics act like he’s playing majima in the song.

Hard to believe the developers were worried that karaoke would be poorly recieved in the early days of Yakuza
Tbf, the first karaoke songs in Yakuza 3 were mediocre/bad compared to the ones that came after

This is more accurate than it has any right to be.

Would the "Dojima Butterfly" be Kiryu or am I reading too much into this.
Basically the Japanese "Bring me to life".
Yep...
That’s exactly what I thought, it sounds extremely similar.
@@empathetic4100 surely they inspired on that
@@empathetic4100 No wonder why I find this song rad.
Yup, it has the vibe of almost every band song from the 2000s.

Time for u to play yakuza
When Kiryu start rapping, you know its real deal
When Kiryu watched Initial D for the first time...
I always sucked at this song because I was too busy laughing at Kiryu to press buttons 💀
Me but in judgement bc i'm too busy watching the mv they're so dope 😢
@@danishnajwaelmoslemhimam1348 Me but in 24-Hour Cinderella because Hikaru Genji Majima is a thing I never experienced and expected.
I failed all the karaoke because of how good the songs are. I cant stop head bang

FLY HIGH
I'm so rapping this just as tryharding as Kiryu with a friend. This is just fantastic.
Same. A friend sent this to me and asked me if I wanted to be his duet. I accepted ofc, even tho I don't even know what yakuza is about lol
Kiryu spitting fire like a dragon.
Like a WHAT???
LIKE A WHAT?
Like a WHAT?!
Yakuza Like A Schizophrenic
Like a WHAT¿
This Yakuza anime intro sounds awesome
Yeah, it is funny to have Kiryu attempt rapping. But I do also have to say that his gruff voice does make it kind of work.
I always get chills listening to this song. I love it.
Kiryu doing his best impression of every white guy in mid 00’s rap videos
WE THE BEST MUSIC
this is actually inspired by a real band called m.o.v.e, with kiryu mimicking the rapper motsu and the hostess singing like yuri, if you like this i recommend checking them out
they also did (most of) the ops and some other ost for initial d
Sounds so different when listening without playing. I could not for the life of me follow along with such a banger
rap god kiryu
the delivery on that seotta was literally perfect, how come japanese voice actors can all sing like angels
my headcanon is that all of the actors who’ve worked with rgg are friends and they do karaoke together, that’s why they’re so good
Yoo dude thanks for this video, since it'd the highest quality out there
Hearing this gives me vibes of that song by Evanescence called "Bring Me to Life". The girl is singing the main vocals and Kiryu's doing the back up vocals.
That's the point of the song it's a parody of bring me to life

My this gonna be Good op for yakuza anime season 6
I'm glad the team has accepted Horii's idea about the karaoke in the past! I love the RGG OST. God bless Ryosuke Horii and the RGG team.
This is literally an anime opening style song and I hope if they ever make a yakuza anime they use this for just that
This sounds like it would be a great op for an anime
ホントに実現したらOPから爆笑するわｗ
Middle aged granpa raps with a hostess wrestler
its amazing how many yakuza karaoke songs are anime OP material the chorus for this song as an example

thx for getting the one verse stuck in my head after listening to this again
In which Kiryu channels 0.5% of pure raw MAJIMA.
Que perrona canción. I just wanna sing this for ever.
I don’t know if this is some kind of conditioning but when I listen to this, my brain fills in the gaps of Kiryu starting it off with “oy oy oy”
*TOP 10 ANIME OPENINGS*
Serious, this could probably be an Anime OP.
@@jamesjamero6583 Yakuza season 1 opening song when ending should be Baka mitai xD hahahhahahaha
I would watch this kind of stuff xD
Best karaoke song in the franchise
Would be the biggest banger in a shounen opening
Kiryu is such a bommer I LOVE IT
I'm not kidding this would make a brilliant opening if they ever do an Anime.
Fuckin love this song it's so amazing
I'm still not convinced this isn't a Kamen Rider Theme that SEGA got to first.
They need to release a game with just karaoke songs with selectable yakuza characters that would print money. Hell id buy it day 1.
Something like
Yakuza:Kareoke Bar
Has very yakuza kareoke up to the latest game-please note to sing a character exclusive song pick that character at the start menu
My apologies to the neighbors as I drunkenly attempt to rap in a language I can't speak at midnight
listening this while doing pull ups
Hearing Kuroda go OH YEEEAAAAHHHHH is the best
Man, firts time i karaoke was with Kirara from Four Shine, and this song is the only song that Kirara can sing. and dang, SEGA really impressed me xD
this one goes hard
1:21 favourite part
i like how kiryu is going crazy on the background lol
Kiryu do be spitting facts here
Kiryu with his silly sunglasses and damn near metal esc rapping will never not be funny. He's such a dork.
I honestly want someone to do a cover of this, but just have all of kiryu’s lines be all aggressive and savage. Like, just have the lady’s lyrics be normal, but have the guy doing kiryu’s lyrics act like he’s playing majima in the song.
Always on my playlist when playing Yakuza 8
0:43 every anime op °>°
This sounds like it could be an Anime Opening for Yakuza if it ever becomes a thing.
Anything else think the very end "chou no toberu youni" is the best part?
If yakuza had an anime, I’d like to imagine this as its opening
My karaoke score sucked the first try cuz i was laughing too hard during Kiryu's rap solo lol
I find it funny the devs cared more about the karaoke than they did the actual PHYSICS OF THE GAME
If one day someone make a Anime of Yakuza please put this song as openening theme
I would say receive you from the first yakuza would be perfect
@@justarandombluebird8222 Bro, you are a genius
Each season is a different game
This is Season 6
That "Oh Yeaaahhhh" was just -Chef's Kiss-
fryyyylike a byutiful butter fryyyy
this should be an opening for Stone Ocean
It feels weird not have Kiryu's "Oi Oi go go" at the start
I swear if yakuza gets anime and this isn't the opening i be livid
Its getting a live action show. Don't think its getting it
情熱的な合いの手が聞こえる・・・！
I’m hyped af for the Gaiden version of this song
Clap please AKAMEEEEE
i guess that was the moment kiryu's va decided to join the hypnosis mic crew... even his character he voices is a gangster... he doesn't even try to hide it IDJSIWEHKDJD
I kinda like this song, but I always lose my shit when Kiryu starts rapping
if this had a eurobeat vibe to it. You could almost mistake it as the band m.o.v.e. who did the ops for initial d
Kiryu,the best badass ❤
me: haha big yakuza man rapping
also me after 4 loops: haha bi- oh wait
I knew this song thanks to meme zee
This song reminds me of Lisa's Rising Hope . The chorus especially.
Someone needs to tell Kiryu to get off the karaoke machine, he’s become too powerful.
listening to this music makes me feel like i could bench press 300 pounds. i can't but its a banger
Why do the game versions always cut out the best parts of the song
Lyrics:
(To be reborn - born again)
(Let’s fly high like a butterfly)
Drowning in greed, I fell into a trap
Limbs entangled in threads of crime
(Tangled in crime)
Like the netting in a goldfish scoop
Fragile wings getting ripped by tears
(Destroyed by crying)
A disgusting venomous spider
(A butterfly without wings has no meaning)
(No different from a mouse crawling on the ground)
brought the crime to my heart
(This world doesn’t even have any light)
(Can’t stop it’s going to destroy my mind)
Now at last I lament my wings full of holes
(Scoop it up, you are a butterfly)
If I can try once more
(overdrive to the end of the earth yeah)
This beat makes me want to fly
(Fly high)
Sad butterfly
Even suspicious of that one ray of light in the sky
(To be reborn - Born again)
(Let’s fly high like a butterfly)
So fly high again
(To have a dream - Dream again)
(So fly high like a butterfly)
Like a butterfly
(Overdrive, all the way to the worlds end!)
(Give your all on the endless drive!)
I'll flutter across the huge sky, like a butterfly
(Overdrive, all the way to the worlds end!)
(Give your all on the endless drive!)
(Oh yeeaaaahhhh)
(Instrumental break)
If I were agile as a fly
I would have escaped from here
Hardworking as an ant,
All my faults would have been forgiven
Good looks aren't enough to redeem myself.
I've got a taste of the modern days
(It's all in your dream - dream again)
(so fly high like a butterfly)
Fine pieces of snow, are starting to fall
(A wingless butterfly is useless)
(Not any different from a mouse crawling on the ground)
They're adoring the spiders web,
What a white - Christmas
(This world doesn’t even have any light)
(Can’t stop; my mind keeps crumbling)
So romantic, yet saddening when the credits roll
(Stuff your chest with pride,
you're the butterfly here!)
From the moment I was born,
I was to do
with the very minimum of beauty and wealth
(5... 4...)
And the love found in a greenhouse.
Unaware of how the world works.
I'm a stupid princess, am I not?
(3... 2... 1... Endless Drive)
I am on my knees, so please once more.
(Overdrive, all the way to the worlds end)
Mum and Dad, let me go see that person.
(Fly high!)
The ugly butterfly envies the future that's flowing through the world
(So is forever)
And for you, who can keep trying?
(You there)
She's full of hate
Fly like a beautiful butterfly,
Fly like a beautiful butterfly!
~
(So fly high)
Flutter through the sky,
Like a butterfly! - (Like a butterfly!)
It's like metal core with Kiryus harshish growling, kinda like the song pride from despair
i hate that this song is not on spotify
It feels mean to say this but this is better than the Y7 cover, sorry Eri and Ichiban
