I love how Majima casually shifts between actually singing and screeching like a fucking chicken being smashed against a wall. I would expect no less of Goro Majima.
I'm sure the whole zombie prank on Kiryu in Kiwami 1 would've been fun to take part in though, despite all the broken bones you would recieve from Kiryu
2 great things about this: 1. In Yakuza 4 the character profile for Minami says his favourite karaoke song is Get to the Top too meaning he probably took after Majima. 2. In Yakuza 0 Majima sings like a pro meaning somewhere over 25 years or so he just stopped giving a fuck and started to completely let loose like this.
Have you heard Majima no MajiROCK? That one proves he can still sound good when he wants. Also his backup singing in Rouge of Love suggests he was always a little nutty even back in the day lol.
In Yakuza 4, before Minami's boss fight Get to the Top actually comes on and Akiyama shuts it off, taking from us the opportunity to see him sing this song. Akiyama confirmed true villain of Yakuza 4.
Also, in yakuza 0 (I watched someone else play it) He just decided to stop giving a fuck, like people say, at the end of it he just stopped but deep down I guess he's still ol Majima when he really wants like in the zombie game, a lil girl broke his charecter a lil
Dead Souls ultimately failed as a game..... Oh not because of its wonky controls, not at all, because they didn't give this beautiful creature more karaoke songs like Machine Gun Kiss or Bakamitai.
The more I watch this and 24-Hour Cinderella, the more convinced I am that deep down inside Majima secretly dreams about being an idol. Not in an aspirational sense--he's too much of a realist--but like, "daydreams about performing for millions while singing in the shower" sort of way. Kinda puts his relationship with Mirai in a new light.
I like how the player misses two of the three prompts making up the "Kimeta" at 1:00. It's like Majima is missing his notes because the player his missing his prompts.
I've just realized that, at 1:39 (when Majima goes "Takai!") you can actually see the background dancers go into position for the pyramide. Except they don't get on top of each other, they awkwardly move to where they're supposed to be at.
They're actually bumping down the key of the song so that Majima could sing it, as it's typically reserved for the hostesses and such. So it's sung in a lower pitch than the original, basically. Truth about Majima being loud af though. 😂
@@feebzcheezit's a case of him singing badly on purpose because he doesn't enjoy it, but it still kinda works somehow. Japanese voice acting will usually have the same person for both regular dialogue and any singing the role might need, so voice actors have the unwritten expectations of being able to do both. Ugaki Hidenari can sing just fine, 24hr Cinderella is proof, this is just what he tolerates better
*Random Guy:* "Dude there's a zombie apocalypse going on. Why are you singing karaoke at a time like this!?!" *Goro Majima:* "Idiot there's ALWAYS time for karaoke!"
@@literaryloser4470 even in the apocalypse people gotta make money somehow, plus karaoke is fun and distracts from the possiblity of being slowly ripped apart and eaten in front of your own eyes
Reminder that: 1) this happens during a zombie outbreak 2) contrary to 0's 24hr cindirella, the guys in the chorus are actually there cannonically. That means every time you sing this song you force this guys to love their job even more.
Kamurocho night life chugging through a zombie apocalypse like nothing is going on is extremely in character for the place. Actually, when you think about it, fighting through mobs of violent humans to go to karaoke is pretty normal for an average Kamurocho night...why stop the party just because the mobs are undead this time around?
Don’t forget rule 32 of Zombieland, “Enjoy the Little Things”. A mad dog has to kill some time into having some fun rather than kill zombies and insane monsters.
all you gotta do is get tortured by the yakuza, lose everything you built from the ground up (and your eye), stalk someone relentlessly and hire 6 backup dancers. easy.

amazing
@@Dophlop its accurate that way
I also like how Majima manages to have a squad of dancers behind him in every song that he sings except for shiawase-nara
In Yakuza 0 he is pretty calmer lol
@@Dophlop People complain about TH-cam comments but sometimes you look in them and find the greatest thing you've ever read
Majima is the worst boss to have ever. He wants you to laugh at weird shit and be straight faced with shit like this.
IDK Gondawara might be a worse boss to have with the whole pretending your a baby thing.
I’ve got you now... Kiryu-Chan!
Eh, I don’t mind the mad dog being my boss, at least he knows his humor.

Worst? Bitch I wish he was my best friend.
He may be horribly off key, but Majima's choreography is on point
Off Key? I've never heard someone sing so accurately as Majima.
All he cares about is having fun, and he is doing exactly that.
@@dave9020 except majima himself
@@kakateboi42 Which is technically true as we compare his singing style from Yakuza 0 to the later games
i say he knows he is off tempo
~majima knows no one has the balls to say hes wrong~
I feel like missing notes in Majimas karaoke should add points to your score
And you should, in fact end up with scores like 148 or 169 or stuff like that for perfect/good performances
Nah that means your a disgrace to majima if you miss notes
@@thiccman2330 nope, that means you pay attention to majima, and not to the minigame
he hit those notes tho
The point is that when you miss notes he sings like its 24hour cinderella
it is a goddamn crime that Japanese iTunes has 4 versions of Get to the Top, and NONE of them are Majima’s.

he uses cocaine like salt

2. In Yakuza 0 Majima sings like a pro meaning somewhere over 25 years or so he just stopped giving a fuck and started to completely let loose like this.
Majima stopping giving a fuck is pretty much his character arc, played for drama.

Majima forgot how to sing and learnt how to MOVE
his men came out of nowhere to dance with him in group during a zombie invasion
When the Mad Dog calls, YOU ANSWER.
They know what would happen if they didn't.
They're his ride or die gang, duh
Between a zombie apocalypse and Majima's disappointment, I'd take the thing that has the least chance to kill me.
*Going through zombies is easy*
They absolutely reharsed this just for the occasion of a zombie apocalypse
Yakuza. It's a game about crime.
Lets see him get into a karaoke match with the protagonist of Saints Row xD
Crime doth not payth!

Jinhunter Slay
I actually would like to see this cross over...🤣
Sorry but even in a normal fight, the boss would be fucked by a baseball bat wielding Majima.
The girl in the back is like "woah, save me get me the fuck out of here"
I would've been like "HELL YEAH!!!!!!!"
I would dance with majima nee San
The weak will be purged from Majima's company. Gold is only for those who can handle peak Majima
I wish we got more of Majima making his own versions of the female idol songs
I’d kill to see Majima sing So Much More
If there's one thing I've gotten out of Majima's karaoke, it's that he secretly fantasizes about being an idol.
i can already hear his NAAA NA-NANA-NA-NAA-NANANANAA NAAA NA-NANA-NA-NAA-NANANANAA
I would kill too see goromi
@@miriam5047 He is an idol. He's Everyone's Idol Goro.
@@notaguy0599looking looking looking
You can feel that he's enjoying this way too much
He's enjoying it the right amount
Dead Souls ultimately failed as a game.....
Oh not because of its wonky controls, not at all, because they didn't give this beautiful creature more karaoke songs like Machine Gun Kiss or Bakamitai.
or a duet of pure love in kamarucho with kiryu
The one game that wasn’t supposed to fail
Much as I love Bakamitai, it'd be way too real for Majima to sing.
@@NEEDbacon Nah Majima could pull it off, but he'd have to give a shit. He's done real and somber songs before. Hell, look at Kiwami 2.
@@GameAW1 His madman singing is still the best though.
Majima is the only guy who can sing a song completely wrong and still somehow NAIL it
the karaoke machine is too afraid to deny him a fair 100 when the ol' pal on the other side of the screen hit the buttons all perfectly
Majima's voice sure cures depression lol
A voice made out of depression and madness cures the minds of thousends.
Ironic
His humor definitely made me less depressed and lonely.
@@angelusvastator1297 yeah bro
In yakuza 0 he and kiryu made me happy and laughing all the game progress
And thus, Majima decided to give up on the thug life to pursue his dream of being an idol. He went on to sell countless CDs and tons of merchandise.
He better sell good, otherwise he would kill his producers for doing a shitty job
Now he is known as everyone’s idol goro
I would legitimately buy insane Majima covers of songs.
Why's he remembering his ex-wife instead of that blind girl though?😅
he was an idol in Y1/kiwami
The more I watch this and 24-Hour Cinderella, the more convinced I am that deep down inside Majima secretly dreams about being an idol. Not in an aspirational sense--he's too much of a realist--but like, "daydreams about performing for millions while singing in the shower" sort of way.

He did released a song Majima No Majirock
You will never have as much fun at anything like Majima's voice actor does when voicing him.
I love how serious he gets right at the end lol.

Then how the hell did majima get to the top
And your next line is "well majima is everywhere "
I like how his face is all goofy for most of the song and in the end he just becomes all serious
He had his underlings study the steps for months and if anybody fucked up, they're losing teeth.
