Ryu ga Gotoku
Back when she was younger she couldn’t get away from them, so we visit a host club to find out what’s going on.
Stories of blood, cockroaches, and the old days of Kabukicho, Tokyo’s real-world Kamurocho.
Our ace reporter hits the streets in his Kiryu Kazama cosplay to talk to the people who know Kabukicho best.
Lost Judgement could be the last Judgement if Sega can’t work out a compromise with with Takuya Kimura’s agency.

Anyone who’s been to Japan knows that the convenience store is the prefect place to get snacks, pay your bills, buy adult material, and get into a fight. Wait, what?
Police were luckily able to return all the fighters to Adventure Mode before any serious injuries were sustained.
Since it first began on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, the violent action-adventure series Yakuza (Ryu ga Gotoku in Japan) has sold 6.5 million copies around the world. With a new edition of the series in the works, Sega is holding auditions for men who would like to appear in it.
Thinking this would be a great way to promote our humble website, we assembled a team of our manliest men to try out. It’s undoubtedly going to be tough, but to help increase our chances we sent each reporter to audition for a different character.
