Yakuza Kiwami 1: losing an old friend who isn't what he really was. Yakuza Kiwami 2: fresh memories of that best friend who got killed by the Millennium Tower blast Yakuza 6: remembering a long-gone friend And I think Kiwami 2 is where it hits the most and even makes sense, since Nishiki died a year from the game.
"There are only three times when a man is allowed to cry.When he is born, when a parent passes away ... and when he loses a loved one so please ... dont hold back your tears" -Shintaro Kazama (yakuza stage play)
In 0, Nishiki couldn't pull the trigger and said that he is useless and cant get through anything without Kiryu by his side I like how that foreshadowed Kiwami, as Nishiki`s downfall to insanity began right after Kiryu went to prison
The saddest realization I made is that in 0 Nishiki couldn't look Kiryu in the eyes while holding the gun to his head. That changed in Kiwami when he looked at his sworn brother in the eyes while giving him that last smile before pulling the trigger.
The Fortune Lady sub story literally foreshadowed all the events that will happen in the other yakuza games except for like a dragon ig (sorry if my grammar is bad)
I love how despite the goofines of the karaoke scenes, this song seriously recontextualizes nishiki and kiryu's relationship. you feel their connection through this song, and i cant help but tear up everytime i listen.
I just noticed it, but in the childhood photo, Kiryu has a pink undershirt and Nishiki has a red one, while Kazama-san has their black jacket, as well as a shirt and tie that is exactly the colors they're wearing. Almost like the game is saying that Kiryu and Nishiki are both reflections of him and take after certain attributes. Makes this even more tragic :(
Its even worse how kazama neglected nishiki throughout kiwami..I understand it was a shitload of problems but kazama basically did nothijg to stop nishiki from crumbling and turning evil
Thanks for the english lyrics man. I had a serious fight with my twin sister two years ago and we weren't spoking since. One day I saw this video and all my buried sadness came out in the form of a river of tears... I sended a message to her with the link of this video and saying those were the words I wanted to say to her. After seeing this video she called me in tears and we met on our favorite cafe and we finally ended to the 2 years silence. Thanks!
It's in both Like a Dragon Garden and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, that's 14 and 18 years after the 10 Billion Yen Incident, Tonight even got an updated Cinematic then that makes it a montage of slow moving cutscenes probably to show that Kiryu cherishes and reminiscing about those memories more now that he's alone and later now that he's also dying of cancer.
Thank you! Beautiful! Made me cry. One reason is because my adopted son thought to send this to me . That on his free time, he cares enough to actually THINK of ME is a blessing to behold. He’s precious & so special. Too old for his young years. 😢But I love him & pray for him daily. I can see his future and once he’s ready to grab for his dreams he’ll soar to the heavens!!!❤
My brother was diagnosed with Schizophrenia he started becoming a different person, and none of us knew why. We went from being best friends to more distant brothers. I was scared of what was happening to him, to be honest. One of our last conversations was that he was sorry for how our childhood went. It has stuck in my head for a while. He took his own life a few months later, and I always thought to myself, what if I could have done something different. I have been playing Yakuza for the first time since it happened, and this has stuck with me. I wish I could've shared this series with him to bond one last time before he left.
I have a brother and I'm trying to do everything I can to make sure life goes even a little bit differently from the worst for us. Rest in peace to your brother. Take care.
Man.....it's heartbreaking that my best pal aka my uncle passed away just a few hours back and I couldn't even see him for the last time since his face was covered. I remember the days when we used to go enjoy stuffs like karaoke, restaurants and all..... Just like these sworn brothers. I hope he's waiting for me on the other side and I hope I'm able to join him soon.....
My longest-time homie moved across the country for a few years to pursue his education around the time I found this in Kiwami 2, so it kinda stings. Miss my homie, but I like to think singing this reminds us that we still miss each other
Finished kiwami, realized there was a karaoke bar (I hadn’t seen it my entire playthrough) and decided to play all the songs, it just happened the last song i needed to do before trying all of them at least once was tonight, literal waterfall of tears
man, this song doesn't miss, huh... god i remember crying on my first listen to during karaoke and i didn't even really kno what the lyrics were :') now!! i will cry even harder. tysm for putting up the lyrics! i appreciate it :D /gen
I already realised the sadness the moment I played it in the karaoke, because I didn't play karaoke in yakuza kiwami 1 cause I suck with the karaoke there cause it's kinda fast for me unlike in yakuza kiwami 2 and 0
I recently lost my brother to heroin addiction and in a way I went thru what kiryu in the sense of having to lose who your brother used to be before you lost him forever. Gone was the loving guy who would have given you the shirt off his back the guy who got a red card protecting his goalie because our dad taught us defend your goalie no matter what and replaced was the cold and manipulative version of him. We fell out and we unfortunately weren't able to make peace until after he overdosed and passed away. This song is hard to listen too now and Kiwami has become a much more heavier game to play now
@@gabrielpereira9070 thank you kyoudai. Since his passing I’ve volunteered at celebrate recovery at my church and have become an advocate for preventing heroin addiction and am a active uncle in my nephews life
My brother passed away from heroin addiction 5 months ago. We were always so close, but when he was using he was a different person and it always broke my heart. It's weird cause having Nishiki pass has been hard for me because it feels like I can't even have a brother in the game that was helping me be happy. I always joked that Nishiki was my favorite rice brand whenever I saw him on screen, and my brother told me he was thinking about playing 0 soon before he passed. When I was going through some of his stuff, I saw that he bought a bag of Nishiki and I broke down laughing and crying.
I had lost a very close friend to a suicide nearly a year ago. He loved the Yakuza series a lot, which I had introduced to him. When I listen to this song in particular, I think about him. He was near enough a brother to me. Miss you, Kyodai.
My absolute favorite song in the series, and onenof my favorite songs in the history of video games. And right now, the song that makes me happiest to be a bass.
I'd dedicate this song to an old friend from college who basically helped me stay sane throughout my undergrad with all the banter. I unfortunately ghosted her after we graduated, and will just admit I miss those times.
When I got the chance to play karaoke in Like A Dragon Gaiden, this is the song I immediately selected. I was surprised on how the cinematics showed the actual cutscenes than just a slideshow of images.
My Headcanon: There's a version of this song sung by Nishiki, it slaps, but not as hard as a fan-made duet of both Kiryu and Nishiki singing it together.
Okay so imagine if Kiryu indeed dies of cancer in Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Imagine if we get a cutscene of him going to the light with everyone he cared for there waiting for him while playing this song. I really hope he doesn't die but if he does then this would indirectly be a happy ending for him
My youngest uncle and closest person in my life passed away before I could introduce him to this series, don't normally comment thank you so much Rock rest in peace
I love this karaoke song so much , just finished my yearly Yakuza Kiwami 2 playthrough and got 100 on this song, overall on this playthrough ,i played Tonight about 20 times For years The Witcher 3 was my favorite game ever I even bought he Witcher 3 twice and have close to 500h, that's much i loved it, now it's not even in my top 10 Yakuza 0 was my first Yakuza, was super happy to see Judgment,Lost Judgment(my goty last year) come to pc. Can''t wait for Like a dragon ishin/gaiden , my top contenders for my Goty 2023
@@sanken21 what the heck you talking about? That so called time machine, i watched the video just now, not even a slight bit similar to Bakamitai or Restart: Tonight

He baked himself and Jingu and our hearts
At least he broke za law...
Both Majima and Kiryu's karaoke in Kiwami 2 is just pain. Majima singing for Makoto and Kiryu singing for Nishiki.
yeah, pain in emotions, and for majima, pain in ears
hate that i feel sad listening to this regardless
Kiwami tears
And then Pride from Despair is both of them singing about how they've gotten stronger despite all that pain
Sad shirtless men things.
Yakuza Kiwami 1: losing an old friend who isn't what he really was.
Yakuza Kiwami 2: fresh memories of that best friend who got killed by the Millennium Tower blast
Yakuza 6: remembering a long-gone friend
And I think Kiwami 2 is where it hits the most and even makes sense, since Nishiki died a year from the game.

this is so wholesomeee!!!!!!!
@@kiryukazuma1269 just like you and Haruka
Hot damn, the cinematic that plays during this song hits so much harder after finishing the first Kiwami game.
Considering this song is in Y6, this means that he still thinks about Nishiki after 11 years.
It's in both Like a Dragon Garden and Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth, that's 14 and 18 years after the 10 Billion Yen Incident, Tonight even got an updated Cinematic then that makes it a montage of slow moving cutscenes probably to show that Kiryu cherishes and reminiscing about those memories more now that he's alone and later now that he's also dying of cancer.
Of course he does. There's no way he could forget about Nishiki
I have hit a point in life where both Bakamitai and Tonight is relatble to me.
Same bro same.
And nearly 20 years later from Yakuza 1/Kiwami. Kiryu still remembers Nishiki as his brother, than an enemy.
I hope this is in 8 to show that Kiryu will never forget his kyoudai
edit - at 3:30 Nishiki starts singing in harmony with Kiryu
I still heart Nishiki
Depression: extreme

It's this one, but sung by Ichiban to Kiryu instead...

Just finished yakuza kiwami and easily can say i wasnt prepared for all this when i finished yakuza 0😭😭
This game geniunely broke my heart
Playing 0 before K1 will make this song hit like an 18 wheeler.
hits harder at 6 after all the journey you went through
It's ok to cry , after all, It was your brother...
Thank you for the lyrics man
it hit when i started kiwami and it still hits as im going through lost judgment

One of the greatest feelings i had with this series is hitting 100 on my first try in gaiden after not playing any yakuza games for several years
headcanon: kiryu and ichiban went to survive bar and sung this after the events of like a dragon
Chose this song in Y6 because I wanted karaoke, I was NOT ready for Nishikis pictures to show up-
I can't hear to this song without crying.... ;_;
Listening to this song, i was reminded of my grandpa who passed away around 2006.
I miss him…
"i'll hold your hand tight and never let go"
when you realize the events of kiwami would've never happened if dojima never laid his hands on yumi.
I just played this and I saw the pictures and heard tonight, I felt that the song would be sad
man it's been almost 2 months since i finished y0 and kiwami and everytime i come back to hear this song i can't help it but cry
This song shouldn’t be so damn good yet it is!
This is gonna hit even harder after IW.
