this is a serious game about organized crime we swear

If Baka Mitai is the anime outro, this is the intro

"This is why i hate video games, it appeals to the male fantasy" You're damn right it does

Yakuza story:👺☠️❤️‍🔥🔪🔫 Yakuza sub stories:🥰🥳🎤🕺🏿💅

Fine. I’ll buy Yakuza

Director: you are going to voice a Japanese mafia crime leader Voice actor: OK Director: OK now start singing Voice actor: what Director: SING IT *Points gun*

kiryu: life isn't worth living anymore majima: ✨life🌈 isn't 🕺worth🎉living🧚‍♂anymore✨

You've gotta love how drastically different Kiryu and Majima's most popular songs are

So this is why people like yakuza.....

Before talking to your crush: "24-hour Cinderella" After talking to your crush: "Bakamitai"

For those wondering, there really was a Jpop rollerskating boyband during the 80's that Majima is parodying.... Hikaru Genji.

Makoto:starving to death in a warehouse Majima:

The fact that Majima never made it as an Idol is probably what drove him to go insane

Manly as hell

The fact that a simple karaoke mini game convinced me to play the whole yakuza series shows that the franchise is a masterpeice.

Some ppl might think that he sings about Makoto, but actually he sings about his Kiryu-chan

Some random dev: Hey why not we add a karaoke to this game? Everyone: You're the hero of this company

Remember, the yakuza praises this series for being extremely accurate

Majima can sing a song like this, while dressed in that outfit and I still can believe he's one of the biggest badasses in all Japan

Im convinced Majima would be one of Japan’s top male idols if he wasn’t Yakuza

This song exists so that the depression you get from Bakamitai gets instantly cured.

Ex-Yakuza’s: This game is extremely realistic to our past lives The game:

I first saw this video before ever playing Yakuza and thought it was random and hilarious, but after playing 0 and reading the full lyrics, this just breaks me. Behind the crazy visuals and cheesy idol pop tune is an earnest love song to Makoto where he acknowledges they'll never be together, yet he's committed to "finding a glass slipper that fits" and promising "it will never come off"-- aka, giving her the life she deserves and making sure she'll never lose it again. There's also a line about how normalcy is his treasure (the earth turning, the sun rising, and "your smile") but we all know normalcy is something Majima will never have. Finally, there's the reiteration that he'll always love her no matter what, and even after they part ways in life, they can wish upon the stars and meet in their dreams. The exaggerated optimism of the dance and everything are to cheer up/reassure the "princess" so she won't feel sad. TLDR; This is depression packaged into a cheery, weird package so that the person listening doesn't worry about him and just laughs/thinks he's ridiculous...exactly like how Majima presents himself.

It's the fact I can tell his voice actor was smiling ear to ear while singing this that makes it so much better

Kiryu: Sings a sad song about being cheated on with your girlfriend Majima: Whatever the hell this is

GAME OF THE YEAR

So sad to think Majima has one of the most tragic stories in the Yakuza series. I mean he fell in love with Makoto but had to let her go because he wants her to be safe. Added to that, Makoto doesn't even knew what he looked like.

Kiryu: Depressed Meanwhile Majima: *SUNAO NI I LOVE YOU!*

wow the next season of love live looks amazing

Best Girl

gonna be honest i have watched this during my breaks at work and it always cheers me up and puts me in a good mood

This video just convinced me to buy the game.

Playing as Kiryu feels like The Wolf of Wall Street mixed with The Godfather, playing as Majima feels like Barbie mixed with GTA

Majima is now the owner of a construction company, an "idol", and a full blown war criminal with carrots in his hair. A true underdog story.

Enough to make me cry, I used to play this game when I was battling cancer and I would watch this video every day just for the fun of it, I couldn’t name how many times I’ve seen this video, when I watch it again I get flooded with memories, thank you ❤

I think it's important to note that Majima is not following along with the lyrics on the screen that would normally be present during karaoke. Meaning that Majima knows this song so well by heart that he has memorized the lyrics and can stay on beat start to finish.

As if an alternative universe where Kiryu became a rock star and Majima formed boy band instead them becoming yakuza.

I got Yakuza 0 on a whim last week and just played this song for the first time. Came here to watch it again because I was laughing so hard, I kept missing the buttons and couldn't see anything lmao I love this game so much already.

1:24 I just realized that there is a camera man at the back

I just love how Majima's imaginary music video used all the old stunt-double concealing tricks. The cuts before and after the twirling jump, and the lighting that hides the face of the guy doing the backflip. A lot of effort went into making this, and that's why we love it.

The fact majima the most psychotic member of the yakuza sings the most wholesome karaoke is amazing

I like how the song is so innocent, this is how love should be, to him. It actually matches really well with the story.

This is when I realized I needed to play every single game in this franchise

And people wonder why majima went crazy

Serious video game about the criminal underworld of japan, everyone

I spent like 5 hrs singing this and I don't regret it

This is why I love majima. He seems so sweet the way he sings, and he actually is a sweetie. He's just also batshit crazy, and that's okay.

I love how proud Majima is at the end of the song

"No dad, this is a game about Yakuza, that's so realistic, that it's been praised by actual Yakuza members for being accurate"

Its canonical he knows the entire song off by heart so he can still be 50 and bust this beautiful banger out.

majima is the only reason i play yakuza 0 love his styles, his story, his attitude and his karaoke songs

i love how this is the only song majima can actually sing perfectly

Disliked, the song is not 24 hours long

Majima is gonna be the reason why Ima play this

texted my brother the first few lines and he sent me a vm with him singing the whole song. i love him

I genuinely love this song - though having Majima sing it while imagining himself in an 80's pop video makes it 10000x better :')

Jokes aside, it's actually insane how if you wander around Twitter or KZfaq enough, SOMEHOW, you'll meet Majima, even if you never played a Yakuza game. Everyone loves him, and no matter who you are, somehow, you'll end up finding out who Majima is. And you'll love him too. He truly, with no irony or joking, really saying this seriously, is one of the best characters ever written by mankind throughout history. A pure, one eyed blessing.

Happy bday Majima!

I never knew how much I needed this until now.

“See this is what I hate about video game, because they just appeal to the male fantasy.”

Me: Man this game is great! I get to be a Yakuza, a criminal organization! Also me: *Spends 127 hours managing a cabaret club*

I haven't played Yakuza yet but the song tells me more about Majima's character than any other game does

That's it, I'm putting this as my ringtone.

this song confirmed that Majima is not a flat-earther.

Project Diva: Majima Edition

Men have 2 moods: 1- baka mitai 2- 24h Cinderella

Meanwhile Makoto waiting patientily her Takoyaki

"Yakuza 0 is a serious crime drama"

Kiryu: Having an identity crisis about him putting his loved ones in danger because of the tojo clan that even drinking can't solve. Meawhile Majima:

I can't not come back to this video every few days. The song, the video, Majima, the fantastically timed button presses (far better than I ever did lol), it all makes me want to play Y0 again.... And I just finished the game a few days ago! Thx for the upload yo

1:43 i love how proud he was here

Can we just appreciate the amount of joy that majima has just from singing a song

That face at the end.

Finally, a game where they were dream of becoming an idol.

The guy I'm doing cpr on when my earbud switches to 24 hour Cinderella 💀

Majima's happy face at the end is so magic, like he spent his life on it

Jokes aside, this song is really good

Yakuza wouldn’t be the same without Majima , honestly.

man i've just been looking over at the song every now and then and it never ceases to amaze me with level of talent from Majima's VA and how ridiculous it makes it at the same time never failing to make me laugh and cheer up

"video games appeal to the male fantasy" *This ladies and gentlemen, this is the male fantasy. This is all we wanted from a game.*

People talk about fantasies...Majima is a fantasy that transcends all fantasies. He is not just the male fantasy, female fantasy or final fantasy...oh no...he is the fantasy THAT NEVER ENDS.

Majima after being ordered to kill a blind woman:

this is one of the reasons why majima is one of the best yakuza characters

Quick reminder that the Yakuza itself said these games are very faithful to the real thing

A serious game for serious people

I like how this is the perfect representation of majima In the later games. Honestly it's easy to imagine majima inviting kiryu somewhere only for kiryu to find him dancing like this with his family members

If you play this video at 23:59:53 you will start the new year with Majima singing for you

Its funny how the beginning has Majima moving around like a crappy, stiff animatronic at Chuck E Cheese. Contrasts with the full blown high production stage bit.

Kids already had their fun: fnf Its real mens turn: yakuza karaoke

Love how it goes from his character model just waving its arms while singing to a full on motion capture dance at the end

Girl: "So what kind of music do you listen to?" Guy: "Ah, kinda manly stuff. Heilung, Saboton, Between the Buried and Me, 24-hour Cinderella." Girl:"What?" Guy:"What?"

Karen's: " Video games cause violence" The Game:

i love how proud he is of himself at the end. you go majima! you're the best!!

i cant stop listening to this… this is just so beautiful…

majima best yakuza in the series!

In some way, it’s so endearing to see a character, whose living so miserably, smile so much.

1:03 the captions make flat earthers hate this song

I'm not deep in Yakuza lore, but isn't this guy is psychotic mafia boss?

1:14 is what you came for.

I'm really considering getting into the Yakuza series at this point
