What are you talking about? He'd be the one doing everything he could to protect you if you needed help! That's the kind of guy Ichiban is. Even if it would cost him his life, he would gladly give it if it meant making sure that a innocent person was okay. He's a rare guy where when there's trouble, his first instinct is to protect other people instead of ensuring his own safety. That's what makes Ichiban "Number One"! The guy really is a true hero!

"On those nights you're hurting or feeling lonely, come and have a drink with me." This was the last game I bought for my ps4 before I nearly lost everything and became homeless. I worked my ass off and whenever I was feeling down and needed to cheer up, I would boot up LAD 7 and just be in the survive bar, listening to the cds or doing karoke as my own little comfort zone and this particular song kept me going for a long while. Ichiban may not be the protagonist I grew up with like Kiryu but he will always have a place in my heart as the hero who saved me from me.

Think about it: Ichiban has the will to keep going, despite the extreme difficulty and near impossibility. He has an undying loyalty to his friends and family, and an inherent need to do what's right even though it'd be easier to just lose his morality. And he beats people up with a baseball bat.

Ichiban can be the crazy one himself as well as be the straight man. He shows his happiness and sadness openly, I really appreciate that of him. He feels like his own brand of Yakuza. Not overly serious but still beaming with stubborness and more idealistic righteousness

Akiyama - Cool uncle that rich and ready to support you Saejima - That uncle who had a lot of life lesson to teach you also being kind and wholesome.

God when I first played this game and got to this song in Karaoke in the English Dub, and I thought that translation had a good message. This song is like the exact moment I realised Ichiban was the best main character in this series since Majima

I didn’t think I’d like Ichiban. I thought that he’d come off as one of those Gamer self-inserts that’s an easy appeal to the player. (Like Almost every isekai mc). Ichiban isn’t, in fact, he’s the opposite. He’s not the player, he’s the character you wanna play as. In the beginning, ichiban has no skill, get’s beat up by the random punks in the park, and he can’t stand up for himself or do anything. But, the game shows you how you can be a legend like him. Ichiban keeps fighting till he one shots enemies that would’ve been impossible, he goes to vocational school and learns everything there is. He’s not too prideful for work, be it collecting cash from under a vending machine or cleaning toilets. He’s a goofy fool, but he sees everyone as his equal. RGG has shown many ways of rising to the top, most of them being the villians. Ichiban is how you do it right.

Anyone else think this is kinda like Ichiban's 'Pride from Despair'? Like i feel like its got the same themes and message but its much softer and upbeat compared to Kiryu's somewhat solemn and aggressive take or is that just me?

It's a shame there's no english subtitles for the karoke songs when you play them in Japanese. Feel like a lot of the meaning is obscured when you can't understand what these amazing characters sing about.

the amount of times I hit a point where I can't even cry properly... I come back... I cry every time... I fucking sob like a bitch... but these are the kinds of words I always dish out to people and yet nobody I know can return me such words of encourgement.... this however... finally I can be weak... finally I don't have to be so though and handle everyone else's shit... I care for them and I won't refuse them but it's so hurtful not having a single person be able to comfort me .... I can get that here, I feel it here... I feel better everytime.... the best song I ever got the chance to listen....

The message of the song is to be there for others, to help as many as you can, to lift them up, so that we can all reach new heights. It is not about blaming others for not being there for you, you should understand what that feels like and strive to make sure other people don't feel the same. That is the message of this song, rise up not for yourself but so you can help others rise too.

Kiryu's story was about what does it mean to be a man. Ichiban's story is about what does it mean to be a friend.

And here i thought acting this childish while I'm barely half of ichiban's age is a pretty bad thing to have in the world of adults. But after playing Like a Dragon and getting to know Ichiban, a person in his 40s who still has his childish personality despite being caught up in lots of criminal underworld shenanigans made me really gain more confidence as a person and I'm starting to see the plus side of having such characteristics even as an adult. Truly an amazing protagonist and really helped me in finding my true self.
