I love that, of all the marketing strategies they could have used to promote the game, they chose to put two men on his 40s to make bracelets. and you know what? it even sounds like a possible substory from the games.
Personaly, i think now is kinda perfect moment for them, since they've went through a lot of things since Highschool and their bond gotten a lot stronger ever since *I admit, they could've done it earlier though
I love how ugaki dresses like a grandpa and kuroda like the kind of thug you beat in a yakuza Game, he's literally wearing hamura's tracksuit, both dripping
Kuroda is a huge fan of American mafia movies which is why he is dripped out like he is a made man in various promotional media and why his band has Goodfellas in it's name
It should be a crime for Kuroda to have this much drip and fine taste. I'd definitely buy their bracelets if RGGS decides to drop them on their store. Ugaki's design is cute and Kuroda's is elegant.

i love that ugaki's voice is mostly normal but when he gets excited showing off his bracelet he starts talking more like majima, it's so goddamn cute--
Its crazy how much Kuroda sounds like a slightly higher pitched Kiryu. Most VAs put on a voice that matches the character and have wide ranges and tones. Nope, Kuroda just sounds like that normally lol
Knowing that they were besties from high-school makes me imagine how much fun it would be for them to record lines for Yakuza, like Kiryu annoyed at seeing Majima everywhere or Goro with the classic "Kiryu-chan!" It is now my headcanon that they liked to laugh every time they heard the other do voicelines for the karaokes
@@somerandomperson6096 atm i’m facing artblock and the sketches didn’t turn out the way I want them to be so I’ve been sketching Ryuji instead. I’ll work on them again soon
KIryu and Majima are so intense about anything they do they could literally put a minigame you try to assemble the perfect friendship bracelet to party members and would be totally lore accurate
I wish I could give these guys a hug of reverence. 🥺 They're just precious, and we wouldn't have the Kiryu nor the Majima we know and love without them. 💗
Why is this the most normal thing to see as a Yakuza fan after playing every game there is (it genuinely is so wholesome tho I love both the actors for Kiryu and Majima)
The fact that they have the same facial hair as there characters and they are actually friends tells me they have a HIGH level of commitment to the franchise. I really hope we see a follow up with Ichiban's VA.
I am so impressed that Ugaki still kep the majima voice and tone even if he isn't voice acting it's like majima voice is actually his everyday normal voice.
Designing your own power up bracelets would be pretty cool instead of just getting 40 versions of the same one over and over hell it could be a mini game and depending on the rarest material the better the boost
