[moonman7347]

Yakuza place right? I think thats the Kabukicho district in shinjuku

[designedmusic]

@moonman7347

Yes, that's Kabukicho in Shinjuku.

[BraceNemesiz]

I hate going over here because where ever I go I have to attack street thugs

[designedmusic]

@BraceNemesiz

...and they all give me something I don't need after battles...

[UchihaTonTon]

Best video of the youtube. I never traveled for Japan before, but after playing so much RGG, this place looks my homeland.

[designedmusic]

@UchihaTonTon

Thanks for the complement. I'm sure that you'll enjoy Japan :)

[Toki19xx]

[Phantasmguy]

The real name of this place is Kabukicho, correct?

[MCDeeLan]

Unfortunately, no lol.

[Doct8r]

[KamiNoKazoku]

@designedmusic im so jealous u got to go there... i would really love it to go there , i could name the places without looking at a map! =)

[SHlNOBl3]

kamurocho after all the zombies died

[BloodRawEngine89]

It's a good thing you didn't take any shots in the bowling alley. A little demon bowling girl--ah, I mean a cute and innocent little girl might've wanted to play you. And then force you to play again till you win. And then ask you to sing Karaoke. And then make you buy her the most expensive dishes on the menu. And then win her a stuffed animal. And then play at the batting cages. And then gamble at a homeless shelter. Then she'll finally give you a piece of candy.

[designedmusic]

@BloodRawEngine89

lol. Hatuka's so ... well ... evil ?

[BloodRawEngine89]

@designedmusic lol And yet, I'm never proud of myself until that little pink trust meter fills up another inch...though it's a lot more fun and a lot less rage-inducing when all you gotta do is put her at the top of the leading Karaoke scoreboards by going "OII!"

[zeonicninja]

Ryu ga Gotoku is a work of art for sure.

[JChornet41]

Great work its nice to see the real version of Kamurocho or Kabukicho as it's known as in the real world. The likeliness is uncanny and SEGA have did a great job making a virtual version of it for the brilliant Yakuza series. I've also seen Kabukicho in a few Japanese Yakuza movies, stuff like Takeshi Miike's Ichi the Killer and Dead Or Alive Hanzaisha in those films the place is portrayed as a dark and sinister place but your photo's make it look the complete opposite infact it looks amazing :)

[AudiiHengbok]

wow i just finished Yakuza 4 after nearly sleepless nights and now finishing up the Ultimate Skills before I complete the remaining minigames and trophies I have left.

I did not think this place was real but omg,, I'm actually so much happier to see that this is real. Watching this video makes me want to visit the place in real life experience besides just the game itself. In a way it sorta like a dream come true seeing that it's real!

I know where I want to visit :3

Thanks for sharing! :D

[designedmusic]

@AudiiHengbok

Thanks for your nice comment. I'm sure that you won't get lost there :)

[Kenshiro61]

I cant wait for Yakuza of the endo(the japanese say it like that endoooo)

And Kazuma kiryu with the komaki kicks and the best of all MAJIMA with the boys band in the karaoke !

[gothistvan]

Excellent pictures,thanks a lot for sharing with us!!!

[designedmusic]

@gothistvan

Thanks for your comment!

[BIOHAZARD1998]

Got few questions. . . is there a Millennium Tower & Kamurocho Hills? I did not see it in the video or not not very well I dunno, and after I played Yakuza 4 then finished it what happens to Arai and Kido after the events on 4? Finally, I saw some of the old characters in sub side-story missions like B-King, Saya, G.B. & Takashi it's great bringing the old characters!

[designedmusic]

@BIOHAZARD1998

Glad to hear you finally played Yakuza 4! By the way, I finally found Aoki there. He's the reporter guy at Shellac, isn't it?

I felt that the actual Kabukicho is much smaller than the one in the game. There "was" the Koma theater instead of the Millenium Tower. And I didn't see Kamurocho hills, either. (I was thinking that Kamurocho hills is modeled from Roppongi hills though.)

[BIOHAZARD1998]

@designedmusic That could be Aoki but doesn't sound like im' from Yakuza 1 he doesn't look like he ever mentioned Kiryu's name or Kazuma talk to him at all. Which is kinda strange... and I'm guessin' right now that Saejima Taiga is the 7th Tojokai Chairman is that right? I read it somewhere than I know.

[designedmusic]

@BIOHAZARD1998

Yeah, I was wondering if he's Aoki from Yakuza 1. I think Daigo is still the chairman of Tojo Clan. Saejima got his own "Saejima Family" right under Tojo Clan.

[BIOHAZARD1998]

@designedmusic Here's what I found out . . .

The Tojo Clan or "Tojo Association" (東城会, Tōjō-kai) was founded by Makoto Tojo and since 2008, is headed by its 6th Chairman Daigo Dojima of the Dojima Family. It is Kanto's largest yakuza organization, made up of more than 30,000 men.

1st Makoto Tojo (Tojo Family)

2nd Sohei Dojima

3rd Masaru Sera

4th Kazuma Kiryu (Dojima Family)

5th Yukio Terada (Omi Family)

6th Daigo Dojima (Dojima Family)

7th Taiga Saejima (Sasai Family)

[designedmusic]

@BIOHAZARD1998

... Where did you find it? That's a wrong information o_O

[BIOHAZARD1998]

@designedmusic Some dude wrote that on Yakuza Wikipedia, so why is it wrong info?

[designedmusic]

@BIOHAZARD1998

Well, Chairman of Tojo clan is still Daigo. Of the end will be released in a few days, so we'll see.

[BIOHAZARD1998]

@designedmusic Oh okay, then, lol well it could still be Daigo no matter what. I wonder who's gonna be the 8th Chairman would it be Goda Ryuji or Majima Goro? I don't know but this is very interestin' in a way.

[BloodRawEngine89]

@BIOHAZARD1998 That last part isn't quite right. Saejima didn't become the chairman, he just rejoined the clan and was given his own Saejima family branch.

[MusashiShimmen]

What's the song used please? I remember it's the same song used in the trailer, but I never found out it's name!

[designedmusic]

@MusashiShimmen

The song is called "For Faith" (instrumental version.) You'll hear this song in the title screen and the boss battle.

[JukaDominator]

Do you live nearby? You lucky bastard.

[designedmusic]

@JukaDominator

No way! lol. I just visited there during my vacation :)

[JukaDominator]

@designedmusic well, the "lucky bastard" part is that you pretty much got to visit the place, where do you live anyway?

[designedmusic]

@JukaDominator

Of course in the United States XD

[MonkeyDKenny]

Awesome!!!! Love it! Definitely will visit kamurocho one day!

[designedmusic]

@MonkeyDKenny

Thanks!

[Oxymoron028]

It's amazing seeing the amount of dedication Sega put into making these look near identical!

You should do one where you compare it to ingame! :3

[designedmusic]

@Oxymoron028

I thought about doing that XD Unfortunately, lots of things have been changed. I wanted to take photos of the theater but they already started tearing the building down X(

[TheKingOfRuckus]

Dude....this was awesome :).

[designedmusic]

@TheKingOfRuckus

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the pictures :)

[MaskOfSethiroph]

Nice little tour we got here. Music was pretty awesome too.

[designedmusic]

@MaskOfSethiroph

Thank you! Music is from Yakuza 4 soundtrack :)

[BloodRawEngine89]

I'll be waiting on pictures of the punks I'm sure you had to bruise up during your stroll.

[designedmusic]

@BloodRawEngine89

I was expecting to see punks too! Maybe I went there too early lol.

[fighterboy97]

great to see japan alive again, it'll be horrible if this great place was gone

[designedmusic]

@fighterboy97

I could see everybody was trying to cheer up each other and bring their normal life back :)

[nahkaperkeledas]

I weren't aware that the place actually exists. Awesome.

[designedmusic]

@nahkaperkeledas

Yes, it was amazing to see the actual town.

[Jughead870]

That looked like a fun place to just take a stroll and relax on a nice day.

[designedmusic]

@Jughead870

Actually, this is one of the most dangerous town to stroll X( But I was fortunate because it rained almost everyday when I was in Tokyo.

[CommonBlahBlah]

You have great photography skills, do you use a Digital SLR?

[designedmusic]

@CommonBlahBlah

Thanks! I just used my iphone for these photo. It was actually better than my nicon digital camera.

[CommonBlahBlah]

@designedmusic I see, you took good quality pics with the iphone. The angles you take the pictures are really good. I have a Sony DSLR but that doesn't have live view :(.

[designedmusic]

@CommonBlahBlah

Thanks! The only problem is that I had to crop all pictures since iPhone photos are 4×3, not widescreen X( But I'm relieved to hear that.

[Dexter158]

Nice! When did you take these?

[designedmusic]

@Dexter158

Thank you! I took these photos a few days ago lol.
