Game Description:
Experience the fifth chapter of the Kazuma Kiryu saga in 1080p and 60fps.
In December 2012, Kazuma Kiryu left his past as a “”legendary yakuza”” and his place of peace in Okinawa.
He now spends his days as a cab driver in a corner of Fukuoka’s red-light district, hiding his true identity. All for the sake of fulfilling the “”dream”” of an important person.
However, a disturbing atmosphere begins to drift through the supposedly well-balanced society of the Kanto and Kansai yakuza, emerging as a plot to drag all of the yakuza organizations in Japan to war.
In order to protect the “”dreams”” of his loved one, Kiryu is drawn into the vortex of battle once again.
This is the story of four men and a girl chasing their “”dreams”” in five major cities in Japan, presented on the largest scale of the series yet.
Complete The Dragon of Dojima’s journey.

That's a hell of a murderer reveal at the end. Or is akiyama the ex husband can't put anything past him.
35:30 This is actually a hotly debated and criticised topic. You blame "idol culture", but the driver behind this are agencies, not the fans themselves. It's the agency stance that they'll make less money and have less marketable idols, not really something really verified. And public opinion in at least the last decade has consistently been pro-idol and anti-agency whenever a dating scandal happened. Though worth noting, is that this is also not an idol aspect. Japanese celebrities in general, both athletes and pop stars, are on a tight leash romantically.
For an analogy, you can see Hollywood's reluctance to produce more diverse or female-led movies clashing against the general success such movies had. Rich old women and men sitting in their suits shaking over every yen they might hypothetically lose.
Arguably bigger problems is the exploitation of the performers by leadership – overworking, being pressured to appear in pornography (based on a 2018 government poll, roughly half of the idols, and yes, male idols too), and getting potential alternative employment options blocked through cross-industry connections.
Ok, honestly did NOT see that coming.
But what you said, makes sense. Maybe the exes "path" was Yakuza? And his letter was about him coming back to get money from her? Dunno. I had it that Haruka was gonna lose the pen and Park-san was going to sell her to Gypsies LOL
Playing Taiko no Tatsujin on controller is so weird.
Mirei Park's past is sad, but she's still a bitch to everyone.
Akiyama time.
Well, this episode certainly went on some darn rails and went places. Good grief.
Oh no, this game is DEFINITELY treat it as if it's her fault that her husband hit her.
