An enduring Yakuza minigame is the karaoke rhythm game, and even Ryoma Sakamoto in Like a Dragon: Ishin can take part. However, you can’t immediately send him to a bar to sing his heart out. You’ll need to play the game a bit and wait until he’s established in Kyo. Once he is, then you can head to Utamaruya in Fushimi to perform. And yes, once you get there you will find the Yakuza/Like a Dragon classic “Baka Mitai” in Like a Dragon: Ishin.
One of the easiest times to head to Utamaruya and take part in the karaoke minigame is around chapter four in Like a Dragon: Ishin. It’s right off the main street, before you head north to the next district. Once inside, it will cost you 500 mon to perform.
Here is the list of karaoke songs available at Utamaruya in Like a Dragon: Ishin. You “perform” by pressing the action buttons. Also, Ryoma can bring someone along to accompany him.
- ”Asura Komachi (Asura’s Beloved)”
- ”Baka Mitai (I’ve Been a Fool)”
- ”Harapeko Biyori (A Fine Day for Food)”
- ”Ichizu Samurai (Truehearted Samurai)”
- ”Iji Sakura (Fighting Sakura)”
- ”Kokyou ni Nishiki o Kazaru Beshi (In Glory I’ll Return)”
- ”Samurai Ondo (Dirge of the Warrior)”
Performing builds your relationship with the owner of Utamaruya, and it also earns Ryoma Virtue. Performing a single song can earn you about 20 Virtue.
Like a Dragon: Ishin is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
