[@Incog2k6]

I just love how so many people, who never heard of this song or the Yakuza franchise before the meme, have unknowingly clicked on this video and discovered the best version by accident, as it features the best singer in the franchise (Shun Akiyama). FYI, folks: the version that became famous is the one that was sung by Kazuma Kiryu (one of the main characters of the Yakuza games). This version features Shun Akiyama, another main character who gets introduced in Yakuza 4. Akiyama is the guy at 03:07, while Kiryu is the guy you've probably already seen (white/grey suit). Oh, and you might wonder why such a song is in a video game about Yakuza. Well, those games have Karaoke mini-games, which have many gems like this song (and there are plenty of other mini-games too...). Also, those games aren't only "serious" crime dramas. Oh boy, if only you people knew. Yakuza games are literal troll/shitpost games that dial up the comedy REALLY fast when outside the main story. They make you cry rivers or almost choke from laughter. Such is the duality of the Yakuza games.

Kiryu's version is fine, but a bit deceptive in that the way he sings it comes off as charming. Meanwhile, Akiyama's starts off smooth but he delivers the pain of the lyrics with every time he goes through the chorus. That expression is what officially changed my feelings about this song. I thought it was goofy (mostly thanks to the games), but after reading these lyrics and hearing his delivery, I feel sad about it now.

[@6282makepeace]

Your not the only one BrownieC I know its supposed to be funny but I'll openly admit it I tear up every single time I hear it.

[@imnobodyanon9430]

How on earth is Kiryu's version any charming? It's painful. But, the thing is, Kiryu's version sounds like he's in pain all the time, but Akiyama made it sound happy and sad alternatingly, it's more acute, if that's the right word for it. Kiryu's version sounds like a dragging pain, in which suits the song very well. Both are great ways of presenting the song tbh, but who am I to speak? I don't know shit about singing, but hey that's what the 2 singers made me think of the song.

[@DarcDudeIverse]

Kiryu's version does not sound charming at all. It's just straight melancholy the whole way through.

[@erikmartinez7277]

Excuse you? Have you heard Saejima singing?

[@Sleepyheadwithramen]

Which is what you sort of expect from Kiryu. He'll never be honest, truly honest, with another human being with his feelings. Which is why we're not getting the full brunt of his emotions like we do with Akiyama, he's shielding himself, but also shielding others in order to keep them away from the terrible sadness he often carries with him. Or, maybe Akiyama just sings better than Kiryu, idfk.

God his voice is like silk in my ears. I like the Saejima version just as much though, even though he's not as good a singer as Akiyama the way his voice cracks like he's about to cry at the end is just so sad. These lyrics actually made ME cry when I first read them over on the Hondoori site (I hope you got their permission to post them btw). Especially the parts about the wedding rings, just all of the tears. I don't like the Kiryu version so much but the Akiyama+Saejima duet is amazing.
