Yakuza 6 - Karaoke: TONIGHT (Kiryu)

[@DomPeriod]

The entire cinematic is from the events of Yakuza 0 - there's nothing from Kiwami/Yakuza 1 in here because no matter how long it's been, no matter what they've gone through, Kiryu still loves and misses his sworn brother and only remembers the good times.

[@crystal_void]

Which is why Kiryu is my favorite character. No matter what you've done, he'll show remorse and give another chance.

[@bakacdaz]

Kiryu never want to remember Nishiki as his enemy that why only has the good memory from 0.

[@The_McRib]

It's more likely because Yakuza 6 and Yakuza Kiwami came out in the same year, so this was developed before the cutscenes in Kiwami were usable.

[@mateusmatzensan]

That's because it's the same movie that appears in Yakuza Kiwami karaoke.

I remember playing this song in Kiwami thinking it was a bit goofy. Then 200 hours and 11 canonical years later Kiryu was still lamenting the loss of his best friend, the song took on a whole new feel for me. Nearly teared up replaying it in 6. One of my favourites now.

[@cammy649]

Kinda sad that by the time you get to 6, Kiryu basically has nobody left. As I played through the games I was really feeling how he really just wanted to be left alone to live a normal life and how tired he was of being dragged into situations time and time again. Especially how the Tojo clan in 6 was literally non existent. I'm glad 6 was the end of his story. I just want the man to live in peace for once and not get roped into more shit.

This song is the hardest because halfway they hit you with the feels

[@bloonface]

This is one of many, many parts of Yakuza 6 which gives it such an interesting feeling compared to the other games in the series. There's a definitely calmer and less OTT feel to it, far more introspective and personal, everything's very downbeat and with lots of callbacks to the past, tinged with regret. It's one of the reasons why I think with hindsight having just Kiryu be playable in it was the right decision.
