Yakuza Fanimated - Get To The Top w/ Majima and Haruka

Context for the Vermintide lads: You can sing karaoke in Yakuza games and watch characters do a crazy cutscene, characters Majima and Haruka share the same song but never sung it as a duet. Made the dream a reality by reusing their dances from respective cutscenes

Made this on a whim after I found the vocals for Get To The Top for both Haruka and Majima, realized it sounded kinda good, then found the animation files for Majima's karaoke in Dead Souls, then later for his music video cutscene. It all snowballed from there into the full thing. Enjoy!

Dancing animation is from the game, but it was naturally repositioned and choreography redone a little, I added some more lipsync, facial expression, made the characters interact with each other etc. It was very fun to work with. I also remade the lyrics and the cat in the top right corner using assets from the game.

Tools used: ParManager, yk_gmd_io, yakuza-gmt-blender, Blender, Hitfilm for video editing

I 100% believe this is how Majima would entertain Haruka if Kiryu ever needed a babysitter

[oceanman_]

Nothing is stronger than the bond between a girl and her criminally insane step father

[yourlemons]

Majima is that funny uncle that makes every family gathering a party.

[TheWorstPartyMember]

"Mr. Majima will you sing this with me? Uncle Kaz hates this song."

"Say no more!"

[BreadKrumb]

Love the sudden cut to Saijima to censor out the air humping lol. More Yakuza please.

[TheCarlosCobain]

Everyone, it's Japan's cutest idol! And Haruka is there, too.

[DemnicTaster]

Ya know, for a batshit crazy bastard, I 100% see Majima doing this because she asked him for help.

[Majimba_Enjoyer]

haruka seems weirdly comfortable around majima being majima

[Finalph]

I lowkey feel like Majima would protect haruka with his life and do the most absurd things just to get her some ice cream

[bushidotestu]

Just the fact that Haruka is on point with the lyrics and majima is basically doing his own thing with the verses at the same time just makes this so much better

[theroyalpain]

Saejima's appearance came right in time considering what Majima should be doing right then LMFAO

[gaminginthelincolnyears]

I'm very impressed and concerned at how accurate to the source material are Majima's movements

[bastiisalive]

*Majima kidnaps Haruka again*
Kiryu : FUCK!
*finds them in a karaoke*
Kiryu: *opens the door*
Haruka: Ojisan :)
Majima: What's up
Kiryu: *closes the door*

[metalrob]

Meanwhile when Kiryu is dealing Tojo clans bs, Haruka hangs out with uncle Majima.

[tuep]

No matter how many notes Majima throws into the fucking dumpster truck i always will feel like his singing has more soul and passion than anyone's in Karaoke.

[gingerbead]

I like how you just cut away to saejima looking confused during the portion of majimas dance where he thrusts them hips

[nerdyvids]

Glad to see such a famous pop star giving an up and comer a boost in visibility like this.

[papajohnsfrieddoinks]

I’ve watched this probably 20 times now and it never gets old. I wish both of them had happy endings.

[borrelsworddragon]

missed opportunity, you could've had kiryu in the background practicing his plane direction skills during karaoke. na but for real this was amazing. excellent work my friend.
