Sega announced that the iconic Yakuza and Like a Dragon song “Bakamitai” will receive an official vinyl release. The record will go on sale on November 3, 2024 to commemorate Record Day in Japan, and there is no confirmed price nor release regions for the vinyl yet.
The upcoming Yakuza (also known as Like a Dragon) “Bakamitai” vinyl record will include “Bakamitai (Taxi Driver Edition)” as the main Side A feature, with the remix song “Bakamitai -sorrow-” as its Side B. Both sides will include full, short, and karaoke versions of each song for a total of 6 tracks. The song is performed by Kazuma Kiryu’s Japanese voice actor Takaya Kuroda.
The vinyl record is wine red imitating Kiryu’s iconic shirt color with the jacket having the same color. In addition, the jacket features Kiryu in his appearance in Yakuza 5, the game which first introduced “Bakamitai.” The song also made appearances in Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, among other titles in the series.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the latest title in the Yakuza series and it is readily available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
