Sorry singing fans, Amazon’s Yakuza TV show won’t include the game’s iconic karaoke sessions.
When asked during a roundtable if karaoke would be featured in the Like a Dragon: Yakuza TV show, executive producer Erik Barmack said it would not, though “singing may come eventually” (thanks The Gamer).
Similarly, the TV show won’t focus on the substories of the games, which often include some outlandish characters and activities.
In November 2023, Sega reported lifetime sales of the Yakuza game series had reached 21.3m units.
