yo karaoke in kiwami is depressing as fuck.
like look at this:
sitting all alone in a fancy room, with an computer voice singing. or, just standing in an empty room, all alone, singing with no audience. now im sure this also reflects the change in karaoke establishments irl from like 1988 to 2005, but you can also read into it that it reflects kiryu's situation.
kiryu's an ex-convict, which are heavily stigmatised in a lot of countries and societies. ten years in the joint prison have detached him from the world outside and he probably at least somewhat feels like an alien, an intruder on a world that isn't his.
yes, this is also me getting very emotional over "Tonight" I looked up the translation of the lyrics and it fucking made me cry. just imagine kiryu pre-show down, singing this, hoping in his heart that everything will be okay. that nishiki will come meet him and change back into the nishiki he remembers. then, kiryu post-show down, singing this again, that hope now nothing more but a wishful fantasy that will never become reality because nishiki is dead. Both the nishiki he knew from 88 and the nishiki of 2005.
especially contrasted against y0:
look how lively! the disco light, other people cheering you on, there for the same reason as you. (also akira is there because I HEART NISHIKI and i want kazuma to fucking spend time with him and GIVE HIM A HUG ALREADY!!!)
like when you compare these two pictures, these two scenarios... kiwami is just fucking sad, dude. like, karaoke is prob my favourite minigame but not in kiwami. in kiwami, it just feels miserable. just kiryu all alone in this very private room.

Hi! It's me! VR!anon again, back with another Yakuza headcanon request. This time I bring with me THIS:
The Yakuza guys (+maybe haruka? Or really anyone else you want❤️) playing just dance on the Wii!! We already know Kiryu and Majima were disco KINGS back in the day so i wonder what they'd think of just dance huhuhu 🤭
OMG yes rhytym and dance games are my jam (pun intended), sorry I split these up over 2 days, very exhausted lately. Headcanons below da cut, mwah.
Kazuma Kiryu
It always surprises people how good he is at rhythm games. Really good at keeping a beat but struggles somewhat with harder difficulties. Don't ask him to play DDR by the way. He gets too shy for that one.
Majima Goro
Gets WAY too into it and exhausts himself after like 2 songs. Thinks you have to do all the full body movements for the game to register it properly. Sings along to the songs if he knows them.
Akiyama Shun
Does pretty well, although it takes him a few rounds to get the full concept of how the game works. One of the few boys who does eventually figure out you can just get away with flicking your wrist while holding the Wii controller and the game will still count it as inputs.
Saejima Taiga
Has decent sense of rhythm but is not a graceful dancer. Better at coordinating rhythm with singing than dancing. Tends to dance just a beat behind what the game is asking. Sweats nervously throughout.
Tanimura Masayoshi
Already knows you can trick the Wii by just moving your hand in certain ways while holding the controller. Still gets really into the dancing on days where he has the energy. Prefers to teach himself choreo in his own time rather than do what the game says.
Ryuji Goda
Just moves his arm around while holding the controller. Looks like he's trying to direct traffic or an airplane honestly. Has absolutely thrown a controller on accident, although thankfully it has yet to hit a TV screen or a window.
Nishikiyama Akira
Probably the most into Just Dance out of all of the boys. Generally enjoys dancing and finds it fun. He can be a little competitive when it comes to rhythm games in general.
Mine Yoshitaka
Good sense of rhythm and decent dancer but the game itself isn't very appealing to him. Dancing with someone IRL is something he can get into though. Confused permanently as to why the people in Just Dance are a glowing neon color.
Daigo Dojima
The shyest about dancing out of all of the boys. If he plays this game, it's in private. Uses the Wii more for Wii Sports than anything. Likes the songs in Just Dance, just gets embarassed if someone walks in when he's playing it.
Tatsuo Shinada
Doing his best and beyond that he doesn't care. If he likes the song, he'll play the game but he won't really play any songs that he isn't familiar with, which limits his amount of gameplay a lot. Probably the only one who will actually care about his scores.
