"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."

“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!”

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

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

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

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

[@Tharbemonsters]

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

[@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

[@unstable875]

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

[@manuelkfc7916]

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

[@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!

[@thenegachin945]

Pledge of Jazzer? Alright, I'll take it

[@ezekielr5118]

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

[@thatramenboi6826]

You should put these songs on Spotify, these slap astronomically

[@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…

"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.

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

[@Pomlithe]

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

DAMM, THIS IS WHAT I WILL LISTEN TO WHILE EATING MY FOOD. ITS TOO GOOD

[@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.

[@EsotericLiquid]

BRO PLEASE DO OATH OF ENMA IT WOULD BE SO GOOOOD

And indeed it was

[@Cheesecakuu_]

Just started, time to bless my ears Ears blessed, great stuff dude

[@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.

[@erikleif1178]

eyyy this slaps hard man love it

[@GunGun-cf3ss]

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

[@cayden3410]

Remember: Jazzy is short for Judgement Kazzy

[@commandershepard6241]

this is a reminder that the empty lot conflict could have been resolved with a dance-off between the factions involved

[@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.

[@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!

[@mrb1naryy]

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

[@lilukara5953]

Woah that rocks!! Awesome arrangement!!

[@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)

[@petersipos261]

Good remix! Keep up the good work.

[@marriedrex1942]

Oml this is soooo good! I don't know if 0 has ultimate battles or not. But if it has then this should play if you fight him and the setting is in cabaret grand.

[@ClausMusic]

Actually it's funny you mention that; my general mindset for this cover was "Majima fights Kuze at the Grand" and indeed, one of 0s Ultimate Battles is Majima going through all of the Kuze fights.
