Kazuma Kiryu (Takaya Kuroda) Bakamitai

Known for its emotional portrayal of a woman unable to forget her former lover, this classic ballad was penned by SEGA's Ryosuke Horii and composed by Mitsuharu Fukuyama. First appearing in "Yakuza 5," it has been performed by various characters across the series and has become a beloved favorite among fans. Numerous arrangements exist, including the acoustic "Baka Mitai - Aishuu." The meme "Dame Da Ne," featuring lip-sync videos, sparked a massive international trend, further cementing the song's popularity beyond just "Yakuza" fans. The A-side of this single features the original "Taxi Driver Edition" of "Baka Mitai," while the B-side includes the well-received acoustic version "Baka Mitai - Aishuu." This marks the first standalone 12-inch single of "Baka Mitai," set for release on November 3rd as part of "Record Day."

About "Kazuma Kiryu": One of the main protagonists of the "Yakuza" series, Kazuma Kiryu rose to become the 4th Chairman of the Tojo Clan, the largest yakuza organization in Eastern Japan, only to retire immediately to live as a civilian.
