Hard to believe the developers were worried that karaoke would be poorly recieved in the early days of Yakuza

Like a butterfly. ft. Kiryu "How you doing, fellow kids?" Kazuma

Man, Kiryu's voice actor is really something, not only he have one of the manliest voices in the universe, but somehow he also can sing every musical genre like a pro as well. Legend.

Judgement Kazzy's greatest hits

Kiryu comes off as such a dork when performing this I love this guy.

bruh kiryu's aggressive rapping is celestial tier

Everyone's talking about Kiryu's rapping, but the hostess's VA has an angelic voice, wow. I really hope she also sings on the side

I always sucked at this song because I was too busy laughing at Kiryu to press buttons 💀

Lyrics - fly high like a butterfly Kiryu's delivery - RIP THROUGH THE SKY LIKE THE DOJIMA BUTTERFLY!

Basically the Japanese "Bring me to life".

THIS IS FROM YAKUZA? Bro i thought this was from an Anime Opening, I just decided to look at my screen when this played

When Kiryu watched Initial D for the first time...

When Kiryu start rapping, you know its real deal

Everyone is saying Kiryu is a dork and trying to get cool, but he honestly nails it

Kiryu spitting fire like a dragon.

this is the best version ive found on youtube. thanks!!

This Yakuza anime intro sounds awesome

this has quickly become one of my favorite songs since discovering it, like, yesterday.

I'm so rapping this just as tryharding as Kiryu with a friend. This is just fantastic.

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.

Kiryu doing his best impression of every white guy in mid 00’s rap videos

Middle aged granpa raps with a hostess wrestler

I always get chills listening to this song. I love it.

rap god kiryu

This is literally an anime opening style song and I hope if they ever make a yakuza anime they use this for just that

My this gonna be Good op for yakuza anime season 6

Sounds so different when listening without playing. I could not for the life of me follow along with such a banger

the delivery on that seotta was literally perfect, how come japanese voice actors can all sing like angels

I love the duet with kirara-chan...

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.

wish rest of the song was as good as 0:50-1:25

Yoo dude thanks for this video, since it'd the highest quality out there

i dont play yakuza but holy shit the songs and osts are good edit: i finally got to play yakuza 0 and got to sing judgement shinpan

i like how kiryu is going crazy on the background lol

My apologies to the neighbors as I drunkenly attempt to rap in a language I can't speak at midnight

Fly HIGH

In which Kiryu channels 0.5% of pure raw MAJIMA.

*TOP 10 ANIME OPENINGS*

Best karaoke song in the franchise Would be the biggest banger in a shounen opening

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”

its amazing how many yakuza karaoke songs are anime OP material the chorus for this song as an example

I'm still not convinced this isn't a Kamen Rider Theme that SEGA got to first.

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.

Japanese Evanescence never hit so hard before work

i'm gonna do it bois. i'm gonna sing to my crush in 5 mins

Takaya Kuroda is literally Japanese Jack Black and I say that with full respect for both

listening this while doing pull ups

Fuckin love this song it's so amazing

They need to release a game with just karaoke songs with selectable yakuza characters that would print money. Hell id buy it day 1.

Kiryu is such a bommer I LOVE IT

Que perrona canción. I just wanna sing this for ever.

My karaoke score sucked the first try cuz i was laughing too hard during Kiryu's rap solo lol

this one goes hard

I'm not kidding this would make a brilliant opening if they ever do an Anime.

Kiryu with his silly sunglasses and damn near metal esc rapping will never not be funny. He's such a dork.

This sounds like it would be a great op for an anime

Kiryu do be spitting facts here

That "Oh Yeaaahhhh" was just -Chef's Kiss-

I swear if yakuza gets anime and this isn't the opening i be livid

Hearing Kuroda go OH YEEEAAAAHHHHH is the best

It feels weird not have Kiryu's "Oi Oi go go" at the start

This sounds like it could be an Anime Opening for Yakuza if it ever becomes a thing.

fryyyylike a byutiful butter fryyyy

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

Always on my playlist when playing Yakuza 8

Anything else think the very end "chou no toberu youni" is the best part?

I kinda like this song, but I always lose my shit when Kiryu starts rapping

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 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.

If one day someone make a Anime of Yakuza please put this song as openening theme

I find it funny the devs cared more about the karaoke than they did the actual PHYSICS OF THE GAME

Yakuza: Like a butterfly Should be the name of a spin off where instead of beat em up or turn based combat, its just the dance battles from Haruka's part from 5.

I knew this song thanks to meme zee

If yakuza had an anime, I’d like to imagine this as its opening

1:21 favourite part

Someone needs to tell Kiryu to get off the karaoke machine, he’s become too powerful.

me: haha big yakuza man rapping also me after 4 loops: haha bi- oh wait

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

goes absolutly fucking wacky

情熱的な合いの手が聞こえる・・・！

Why do the game versions always cut out the best parts of the song

i hate that this song is not on spotify

i mean its a mega bop

Kiryu,the best badass ❤

I’m hyped af for the Gaiden version of this song

ah yes, Japanese bring me to life

listening to this music makes me feel like i could bench press 300 pounds. i can't but its a banger

0:43 every anime op °>°

fry rike e byutifull budderfy

Someone should add censor bleeps scattered across Kiryu's rapping

this should be an opening for Stone Ocean

the people mo-capping this: the people animating this:

sounds like some anime opening.

This song reminds me of Lisa's Rising Hope . The chorus especially.

Kirara is always smiling which it is just creepy

It's like metal core with Kiryus harshish growling, kinda like the song pride from despair

It feels mean to say this but this is better than the Y7 cover, sorry Eri and Ichiban

HypMic moment

i saw it in yakuza kiwami 2, clicked it, expecting this and then i heard it sounding very offbeat and got sad, without a video either, where does that part come from?
