Like a Dragon: Yakuza - Karaoke Exclusive | Prime Video

[@peeps635]

The fact that they were aware enough to actually make this but not put it in the show itself is so unfortunate

[@TheSp4z06]

I haven’t seen the show yet (planning to see it some point this weekend) but I’m assuming they kept a lot of the very silly and zany moments in Yakuza out of the show to focus on the main narrative. I agree that the silliness is definitely part of the charm of the series, but it’s nice to see them take its relatively dark crime drama and keep it as such. Then again, I haven’t seen the show and therefore be talking out of my rear.

[@atrocious7766]

@@TheSp4z06 It's more like they kept the zaniness out due to a lack of knowledge of the source material rather than any kind of focus on narrative. A narrative which is a complete bastardization and mockery of everything great about the Yakuza series as a whole.

[@blushingralseiuwu2222]

​@@TheSp4z06 they kept a lot of it because the director and people who are involved with the show are reportedly do not care for the source material.

[@broski7792]

Watching kiryu smiling as he is winning a tournament of pocket racing is as much endearing ( and as much important ) as watching all the drama of his story unfolding.

龍が如くシリーズをパート１からほぼ全てやり、色んな実写ドラマと映画も見て今回のこれもきっちりと見たファンから一言。 他のコメントでもありましたが俳優女優さん達はほんと一生懸命言われるがままに頑張ってくれたと思いますが 正直全く別物の龍が如くになり過ぎててガッカリした意見もあります。アナザーストーリーとして見るのも良いんだけど 確かにドラマ滅茶苦茶にしておいてこういうゲーム要素の部分だけ入れてくるっていうのはどうなん？っていう意見も分かります。 折角竹内君のような高身長とイケメンと演技力もそこそこ良い人に主役をやらせたのなら本当の物語の龍が如くを制作して欲しかったですね。 以前に北村一輝さんがゲーム通りの映画版を作ってたと思います。エンディングも当時の曲と同じく12月17日を使ってそこそこ良い作品でした。 映画版だからかなりカット多過ぎてしんどい面もあったけどあれがやっぱり一番良かったはず。あの時以上の作品を竹内君でも少し期待はしたけど まぁ～滅茶苦茶にしやがって本当良い迷惑です。でも良い面もあったからそれはそれで。しかし次回作何か同じような龍が如くで制作する時は その時はちゃんとしっかりと本当の物語のもので制作して欲しいです。次はそろそろ大河とか秋山とか出して欲しいですね～。 蒼天掘の物語も作って欲しい。その時はきっちりゲームに従って作って下さい。てかそれ以降ぐらいから色んな大御所の俳優さん達が ゲームに出てきたわけですからそれに合わせて実写ドラマ、映画で出して作るのも良いのでは？って思いましたけどね。

As a crime drama series they do it very well, the actors are great but it's not Yakuza... it's not what we all already know and love.
