@@ichiban9662 I think the creator of yakuza mentioned that in an interview (don't have a link sorry) if it was hard or not to create a new protagonist to which he said no because he had 4 and 5 to practice making new mc's to which he did find success considering how much akiyama and saejima were fan favorites.
True, but if you didn't know her character was chosen in a contest. Eri Kamataki is a real person that was just a fan of the Yakuza series and she probably won't be in the next game :(
Oh god, it just made me realise something depressing. Spoiler: Since Kiryu has to play dead, he can't do kareoke anymore because his name will keep popping up in number 1.
lol I love how the performances make it so different karaoke songs are my favourite in different games. Like a Butterfly was always a great song but there were better performances in other songs, however in Yakuza 7 it's the best song.
