Yeah. I was genuinely impressed with the actor's ability to act like younger versions of their characters. Everything from the way they talked to the way they were sitting felt really well done to me. Especially Nishiki.
I can actually see him showing up in that part, as originally that's supposed to be sera's funeral in the tojo clan hq, which is why both shimano and kazama are there. Majima actually does show up out of fucking nowhere ingame too, just before the fight with shimano.
@@cherboka4856Correct. It would have been cool if they changed the Original cutscene just to add Majima there. Would have been nice to see Majima and Shimano talk to each other again
Having this in English is absolutely incredible, and certainly no small deed to translate. Fantastic work and I'm very much looking forward to the second part, however long it takes!
The staging for the meeting with the leader of the Tojo clan is genius, facing the audience to speak, setting the stage so that it implies the existence of him without having him be on stage...it's so gud
I think it's also great especially since (if I remember correctly) Sera's face during his entrance in the game was kept a secret. Where theres only shots of his leg and body.
Nishiki has always been small aha In the Y0 cutscene where they drive to the forest, the animators have to lift his model off the ground so he could point the gun at the back of kiryus head, otherwise the model would have been too short to reach.
@@diablow1411 Please don't spread misinformation! The stageplay was on 2015 and Gaku Sano, Nishiki's actor, was 24 at the time! He simply is 165cm (5'5) tall, contrasting compared to Eiji Takigawa's, Kiryu's actor, 186cm (6'1)
The guy that plays Yuya portrays him so so well even down to his overreactions lmfao he's a hoot, and the guy that plays Majima, definitely did a good job too though he could've worked on the laugh a bit lol. All in all, great acting
What Majima's saying at 37:59 sounds like ごっつ痛いやん "Hurts really bad", which would make more sense considering what happened But since I don't know if this was translated from the japanese script or not, I might be wrong Nevertheless, I appreciate your upload and translation work and I hope you'll get the donations needed for the second part's translation
This is legit and it says so much that regardless of how much they think crime is bad they still thought the story of yakuza was good enough to merit its own play
It's a shame that the second half probably won't get translated as this looks interesting. As madlad mat said though, you could ask devilleon7 or one of the other Yakuza youtubers if they know about the script or if they would be interested in helping with this.
Man when Majima hit the fucking scene....I dont understand how everyone in the audience wasn't fucking screaming. I know he was everywhere in Kiwami but he was always a treat.
Ryuji and Nishiki meeting...holy shit, wish Yakuza 1/Kiwami showed more points of view... And Majima showing Shimano he aint the same Majima as he was from Zero, and wont hesitate to kill him if he fucks with Kiryu
Maybe there's something in the later games I dont know yet, but I'll always see Sohei Dojima kidnapping Yumi and attempting to sexually assault her as a really weird and random choice. I can only assume he was trying to get Nishikiyama's attention and threaten him, since he too was trying to make his own family and is a major pawn in the money heist, but for a moment that decides the next 10 years of Kiryu's life, its kinda swept under the rug. Kiryu "killed" Sohei, and thats it.
@MegaProudAlbanian Which is funny when Yayoi later tells Kiryu how much she wants to avenge her beloved husband. Like uh, lady, idk how to tell you this...
huh. this is actually really good. It stays true to the original Source material pretty well. but it's just the first game so_ 32:29 OKAY I TAKE IT BACK THIS IS THE *BEST THING EVER*
Sometimes I like to imagine that the game series itself isn't even fully canon to the story in that it purposely hypes up completely normal or boring things. I like to think that majima is actually a manlet like he is in this stage play because of this
Well I mean the actor for Majima really isn't that short. He's sorta just average height. Kiryu's actor on the other hand is extremely tall which is why everyone else looks tiny.

I love how Majima’s actor really plays into it
the best part of all of this is that they managed to make kiryu's suit even more tacky. amazing.
It isn't tacky, it's fashionable
36:06 that was the most passionate “KIRYU CHAN”
the added
It's kinda sad when you realize Kiryu's actor in this play is paraplegic since 2017 from an accident and has quit acting last year altogether. :(
owh :( he was such a good actor too
that sucks...
There is always Johnny Joestar.......
@@zutthegarpart 7 manga-
do any of you know what year this play was going on in?
9:07 very nice touch that they played the flashback out as if they were remembering at the bar in their heads.
Yeah. I was genuinely impressed with the actor's ability to act like younger versions of their characters. Everything from the way they talked to the way they were sitting felt really well done to me. Especially Nishiki.
36:06 wait, why is he there!? Majima is everywhere even in this cutscene.
I really wish this is how the cutscene played out ingame.

@@cherboka4856Correct. It would have been cool if they changed the Original cutscene just to add Majima there. Would have been nice to see Majima and Shimano talk to each other again
The fact they include the character introductions is what really makes this for me.

Buff Sagawa could probably fuccing deck him.

9:56 awwww. Nishiki, don't cry.
Comfort him,,, do it for me,,, you'll comfort him for me, right?
*you'd do that for me, right?*

@@Nemunemuru09 If you mean just the entrance, yeah.
The Kiryu actor is exactly how I'd picture Kiryu to look in real life.
5:30 was my favorite part just for Reina's actor staying in character and saying "kiryu-chan" after being sprayed with kiryu's spit.
"IM THE DRAGON OF STARDUST " Holy shit I'm laughing. Fight scenes could have been longer
Stage-Play Yuya is a Madlad, I tell you
26:44
They even got the actors to shout similar grunts. WHAT IS THIS?!
nishiki’s crying sounded like:
àaaæhüùū 👹👹 äAÆhHuüÚ 👹👹
The casting for Kiryu and Majima is spot on.
8:04 Props to them for showing us more from sunflower. The games barely gave us anything
Then again, Y1 was an experiment. It was to test if Ryū ga Gotoku was actually a viable idea.
Wasn't expecting to see Goda Ryuji on this one, and that interaction between Shimano and Majima was wonderful.
Bit late but timestamp??
Spoilers 🤤
@@theunsmartasian315234:50
Gotta love Yuya just being absolutely psycho. "I'M THE DRAGON OF STARDUST!"

YEAH WTF?!
I just want to pet tiny Fishiki, get him a nice little cat bed and feed him kibble
@@diablow1411 props to him but they shouldve gotten an older actor

I know I'm late to comment but i gotta give props to that man who played yuya he cracked me up when kiryu was in stardust i started cracking up
when light go out it's the game loading
The Titty Bite-Mark anecdote from 'yesterday' fucking got me good xD

Kinda weird how no one mentioned that the florist is so accurate and good acting too

9:58 me when mom doesnt get me hotwheels toy
Can't believe I just found this. Thank you for the English subs!! Majima's actor really got into characters. Props to that guy
Majima has always been blessed with amazing live action actors, people who really love the character at heart.

Nishiki crying incase you were looking 👍
I like how Majima has that black shirt underneath the coat it's like a nice little nod to the
*LIVE ACTION MOVIE*
Edit: Typo
Probably it's just because the actor didn't have the same abs as Majima... 😅
That and also the actor doesn't have the actual majima tatoo so the black shirt covers the places where the tatoo is on his chest
Aka the greatest movie of all time
Man when Majima hit the fucking scene....I dont understand how everyone in the audience wasn't fucking screaming. I know he was everywhere in Kiwami but he was always a treat.
this was made long before kiwami
18:41 The coolest shit intro I have ever seen
3:19 had me dead
Ryuji and Nishiki meeting...holy shit, wish Yakuza 1/Kiwami showed more points of view...
And Majima showing Shimano he aint the same Majima as he was from Zero, and wont hesitate to kill him if he fucks with Kiryu
He nailed majima.

Dojima was always an asshole who only ever cared about what he wants. Yakuza 0 touches on it near the end
Be blessed by thousand Dragons, you, uploader of this
smol nishiki and smol ryuji
Praise smol Nishiki and smol Ryuji
Canonically Nishiki is smol, the forest scene in Y0 Nishiki's model was elevated to mach the gun to Kiryu's head
This is my life source- the stage play is incredible and the translation is pretty great, thank you homie
Finally.. Subtitle, also Kiryu's "Nani!?" are way less than I remember
I’m dying at the heat action lol 26:45
huh. this is actually really good. It stays true to the original Source material pretty well. but it's just the first game so_
32:29
OKAY I TAKE IT BACK THIS IS THE *BEST THING EVER*
WHEN THE PLAY MAKES MORE SENSE THAN THE NORMAL GAME XD
god i can't stop thinking about shinji with brim
And with gun
Cheesy acting, but remaining faithful to the storyline... RGG sure was an ambitious project!
When I grow up, I want to be just like this rendition of Yuya
Holy shit i never thought id see the day when id be able to understand this
Part 2 when? O_O
++++
Probably never, sadly
majima sounds so hyped 36:06
woah thanks for the sub looking forward for second part
Nishiki crying must be the most acurate image I have of him.
Thanks for the sub and I can't wait for the second part 😃😃
Sometimes I like to imagine that the game series itself isn't even fully canon to the story in that it purposely hypes up completely normal or boring things. I like to think that majima is actually a manlet like he is in this stage play because of this
Well I mean the actor for Majima really isn't that short. He's sorta just average height. Kiryu's actor on the other hand is extremely tall which is why everyone else looks tiny.
@@theFakeRed no wonder, thought everyone was just smol lol
I like how some of the actors are so small, also Majimas laugh gives me nightmares.
Like someone else said, its actually just kiryu’s actor being really tall which gives off the impression everyone is small
Please continue the translation, I love this
I can't help but laugh at how tiny Shimano's actor is compared to the character in-game! Though his facial features do relatively resemble Shimano.
Thanks for the subs 🙏 I do hope for part 2, however long that may take ;_;
I did.
24:19 - 30:30 Yuya being a mood fr
Maaaaaan, ya cut it off right before we got to see our boys Duke it out
Part 2 pleeeease??? T_T
Smol Shimano
Honestly, I've seen this play before about a year or 2,and man ngl great stage play
Its wild the way it moves like the game animations do
So sad we probably wont get part 2 this is truly great
It's up there now. So yes, we can now watch the full play in English
Just now realized nishiki is also kamen rider gaim, I know that voice anywhere.
I love everything about this, thank you for uploading!
Dohh, so need part two to give too a friend!
26:14 EPIC SCENE
this is the best thing iv'e watched this year
1:46 Machinegun blazing
this is so good
36:38 would you believe me if i told you that the one on the right tortured the one on the left for an entire year
This is great! Thank you so much!
1:11 No way police gonna say that.
Shinji with a full head of hair?!
Love how they got kamen rider Gaim's actor as nishiki and freaking next generation sheriff gavan as detective date 🔥 love spotting out toku actors
The new Space sheriff Gavan is playing Date and Kamen rider Gaim is Nishiki.
oh my god this kiryu actor is sexy
I fucking love Yuya's overreaction lmao
Tiny Shimano is kinda cursed.
His Actor is doing a Banger Job though.
shakespeare real quiet after this

i watch without sub but rarely understand (still learning Japanese )
I love the majima potrayal here alot!
oh my god the actors are amazing!!!
9:58 this is nishiki inside of the safe
i noticed something very wrong here.
majima is wearing a shirt beneath his jacket 😓
