Pledge of Demon but it's JAZZY! (Kuze's Theme) | Yakuza Series Cover

[@SynthwaveWine]

"I'll let you in on a little something, the jazz game, it's not like boxing. The man who hits a sour note isn't the loser. The guy who can't improv it out to the end, he's the one who loses."

[@regularbloke2117]

"The guy who cant improv his way out of it, he's the one who loses"

[@hosephhoestar5969]

“Huh? Ain’t that right? There are no stage boos in the jazz world. To me, a wrong note or two don’t mean shit. Having Awano or Shibusawa beat me to the solo? Couldn’t give a fuck. As long as I’m playing, I’ll keep getting back up for more. Which is why you….. A half ass like you is the one thing I can’t stand. Now PLAY, you little shit!”

[@giantotter319]

Oh you are so right

After trying to beat kiryu a thousand times kuze decides to get out of the yakuza and make his own band called "Jazz of The Demons"

[@Miko-le3wp]

Comes at kiryu again one day, challenge him on a duet

[@unusualpizza]

The jazz game isn’t about playing the notes right as they’re written… it’s about improvisation

This is Kuze's theme after he is released from prison and becomes an aspiring jazz musician in Survive bar

If this video does well, I'll do a jazz cover of Oath of Enma too, so please like, subscribe and share! Edit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2GxpGyEd5ubiKc

😘💓

[@garbiMestolo]

oath of enma is one of my favorite yakuza tracks, i'll be waiting for it!

[@zawarudo2882]

Aight, Imma try sharing this a s much as possible then. Also, sheeeesh, this track's a banger as always.

[@Ugg_Son_Of_Thogg]

Jazz Funk Goes On.

[@prithyachan333]

Ofc it will do well. In fact it is passing with flying colors kyodai!

[@user-io7ck7zz6g]

"The man who gets funked down isn't the loser. The guy who can't jazz it out to the end, he's the one who loses."

[@chaosic08]

This feels like what Kuze's theme would be if the storylines of Yakuza 0 was reversed - Kiryu is the one in charge of the Grand, and Kuze comes in repeatedly to disrupt business

[@Cizma77]

Not even 20 seconds in and I'm *FUCKING SOLD.* Daisaxu Kuze joins the jazz family!

[@oryxified1430]

If Kuze channeled his anger into a more productive pastime, like music

[@MTRON-lq3rx]

But being a crime lord is more lucrative

[@manuelkfc7916]

This guy literally made Kuze into a Jazz enjoyer, what a gigachad. Thank you.

[@ezekielr5118]

Now ik what to play if i ever want to be a boxer and gangster in the future, keep it up

[@Tharbemonsters]

I have mastered Rush Style just so I can watch this cover as soon as it was uploaded.

[@unstable875]

It's the almighty pledge of jazz and IT'S BEAUTIFUL

[@thenegachin945]

Pledge of Jazzer? Alright, I'll take it

[@sheevpalps3846]

I really like how you took the liberty to change up the harmony at certain parts and emphasize certain phrases to make it stand out more. 0:31 and 2:05 really bring out what I mean. Epic job Maybe I should do a violin cover of this…

[@WednesdayMan]

"The jazz game isn’t about playing the notes right as they’re written… it’s about improvisation" - BasedPeter This quote was just too perfect as a reply to NOT use.

[@aleksandarmalovic8535]

I pledge myself to Claus. We need a Claus Everywhere system :D

[@Cherry91]

Now I can't get the mental image of Kuze just chilling at a bar with a glass of whisky in hand out of my head. Amazing work!

[@connorwilliams2919]

there's been so many kuze memes in my feed and recommended, I'm so glad pledge of demon is getting more popular lmao. this is amazing btw :D

[@fruitycabbage9647]

I was hooked right the way through. The way the main melody comes in at 2:00 is incredibly satisfying after all the build up.

[@commandershepard6241]

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite video on KZbin.

You should put these songs on Spotify, these slap astronomically

Yakuza 0 but Kuze meets Miracle Johnson.

[@lilukara5953]

Woah that rocks!! Awesome arrangement!!

[@jtho8937]

Thank you for doing this!

[@johnprivat4379]

This is was the most unique cover I ever heard from a song in general! So professionally made. So different and yet so similar, like a song that is same but with a vibe of another dimension. A cover beyond my imagination that is so nicely done.

[@Pomlithe]

I don't know if it's possible, but a Traditional Japanese version of Pledge of Demon would kick sooooo much ass.

[@Solidcal]

Always love how you do the Jazz versions of theses. Heck you nail all the styles really. Ishin style to Jazz style. They all come out amazing!

[@EsotericLiquid]

BRO PLEASE DO OATH OF ENMA IT WOULD BE SO GOOOOD

[@justdery17]

And indeed it was

[@Rawxas.]

Holy shit man it just keeps getting better and better with each cover! Amazing work!!!!!!

[@GunGun-cf3ss]

Already listening to this the amount of times you fight Kuze, it‘s that good.

[@imsoasian.1717]

If yakuza was made in Italy and it was called Mafia. This would be it theme

[@enryver2882]

This is just breathtaking

[@cayden31800]

Remember: Jazzy is short for Judgement Kazzy

[@Hisanas]

This has gotta be your best jazz cover yet! Fantastic!

[@petersipos261]

Good remix! Keep up the good work.

[@DetectiveTHJ]

This plays in an alternate timeline where Kuze runs a successful cabaret club

Every video I see makes me think this has to be his best work yet and then I'm pleasantly surprised with the next video I click on

[@ClausMusic]

Thank you so much for all the nice comments!

[@marriedrex1942]

Oath of Enma con un toque de jazz melancólico sería perfecta... ¡Como esta! ¡Excelente trabajo!

[@ZF_ZVhs]

Imagine this is the music when instead of fighting Kuze in the sewers, you both fight in the Cabaret Grand

[@mrb1naryy]

I never thought this would be jazzified, but holy hell this is such a banger

[@microwavehelicopter2708]

Another banger from Claudia, this is why I subbed with the bell on. Really hope you make a Blues Rock cover of a yakuza song soon, it is one of my favorite genres

[@odunodu8583]

You are high level Claus.🤟😔

Astounding work as always my friend, you're making Fire and magic out here. You're stuff and you're gonna sky rocket soon man. Keep the talent alive Genius. You're Rad.

[@typicalgamer5036]

Good to know Yakuza hasn't been neglected

[@Skirish]

As a massive Jazz fan, my god... I was able to immediately picture Kuze running a bar in the champion district, with this playing, what a brilliant conversion (and far superior to the original because it's now jazz)

[@DamianGalewski]

I am really impressed that you have made a jazz cover of kuze, and I must say, good job!

[@FeelzMeow]

Well holy crap u turned a awsome hyped song into a awsome chill song . Nice job

[@MasterXeno0]

"Kiryu!" *Jumps off bike* "Do you like Jazz~? "

[@biggiecheese3753]

YaKuze business Mini game (Boxing Management): The player gets access to the Boxing Management mini game in Chapter 3. Kuze can adopt fighters under his belt to train them. Each fighter is defined by a few stats: Strength (which measures the amount of damage their punches do), Agility (which affects their chance of dodging attacks), Toughness (which affects the amount of hits they can take before being knocked down), Skill (which affects their chance of landing a blow), and Tenacity (which affects the chance they'll get up after being knocked down). Fighters are also defined under 3 types of styles: Power, which focuses on unrelenting force (Strength Oriented), Tech, which is all about Technique (Skill Oriented), and Heat, which lets them get stronger the more hits they land (Tenacity Oriented). Kuze can also spar with his boxers to build up either their strength, skill, or tenacity (depending on if they're a Power Fighter, Tech Fighter, or Heat Fighter). Kuze earns money by putting his boxers in matches, and having them win. Before a match, Kuze will have an option to "pep talk" their boxer before the match. This will open up a minigame where you pick either "encouraging" statements, "degrading" statements, or "neutral statements". Encouraging statements will give a small boost to either their strength, skill, or tenacity (depending on their fighter type) with a slight risk of no effect. Degrading statements can offer a large boost to either strength, skill, or tenacity, but has a chance to lower them. Neutral statements will not lower or raise the stats. Kuze will get to pick 3 statements to say before the fight. You can recruit fighters by either winning fights, finding them on the streets, or completing substories. This minigame is purely monetary, and offers little to fighting besides the sparring matches.

[@michaelmcgowan9502]

After seeing how long you have been working on making this video, I'm thoroughly impressed! And I love each song! I agree with that other dude, put these on spotify

In the Jazz Game, there are no wrong notes. The guy that can't improvise to the end? He's the one that loses.

its good.

Funnily enough, this sounds perfect for a boxer training montage just before the big fight that's like the climax of the movie
