Episode 40: Yakuza 0

Naturally I would play a soundtrack fitting for the last show I’d host before visiting Japan.

Have any of you played the Yakuza games before and/or visited Japan? I have really been enjoying my time spent just wandering the alleyways of the city, both in-person and in-game. It makes you feel like you could come across some hidden gem of an establishment or intense storyline at any given moment. The music they constructed for this one is superb 80s nostalgia too, and really helps sell the vibe they were going for. This is my first foray into the Yakuza series, and I foresee myself spending many more hours playing various minigames and indulging in numerous sidequest plots in the future.

Hope you enjoyed!

Note: I could not find a place to purchase the Yakuza 0 soundtrack, so I’ve linked a YouTube playlist to the tracks. Sorry for the trouble!
